Automation

Queue Management Queue Management is the handling of packet queues in a device or system so delay, loss, and fairness can be controlled. Operations Real Time Control Real Time Control is control behavior that must be executed within defined timing limits to be correct. In this context, timing is part of the system requirement, not just a… Operations Real-Time Control System Real-Time Control System is a control system that must compute and apply actions within strict timing limits to remain effective. Operations Redundant Subsystem Redundant Subsystem is a backup or duplicate subsystem that can maintain or restore function if the primary subsystem fails. It adds fault tolerance through duplication. Hardware Remote Terminal Unit A Remote Terminal Unit is a field device that collects telemetry and communicates control or status data for remote operations, commonly used in SCADA systems to extend monitoring and control… Hardware Resource Allocation Resource Allocation is the assignment of limited system resources such as power, bandwidth, compute, or time to competing demands. It determines who or what receives capacity. Operations Safe Mode Safe Mode is a reduced-function operating state entered to protect a system after a fault, anomaly, or loss of normal control. It preserves safe operation. Operations Safety Instrumented System Safety Instrumented System is a protection system that monitors conditions and takes automatic action to bring a process to a safe state when needed. It exists to reduce hazardous outcomes. Operations SCADA SCADA is a supervisory control and data acquisition system used to monitor and control distributed industrial processes. It collects telemetry from field devices and supports operator actions. Operations Scan Cycle Time Scan Cycle Time is the time required for a controller to read inputs, execute logic, and update outputs once in a control loop iteration. Operations
