← TechnologyWhich risk increases significantly when distributed control systems exceed network bandwidth capacity?
A)Compromised data integrity via packet loss✓
B)Increased CPU utilization through error recovery
C)Reduced sensor accuracy via signal attenuation
D)Elevated actuator wear from constant correction
💡 Explanation
When a DCS exceeds bandwidth, data transmission is bottlenecked, causing packet loss because network devices prioritize critical control data, dropping less important packets. Compromised integrity results rather than increased CPU use, reduced sensor accuracy, or more wear, which hinge on different performance bottlenecks.
