Question 481

Which of the following industrial protocols is most likely to be found in public utility applications, such as water or electric?

    Correct Answer: D

    DNP3 (Distributed Network Protocol 3) is specifically designed for use in SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, which are commonly employed in public utility sectors such as water and electric utilities. DNP3 is known for its robustness in handling communication over long distances and in noisy environments typical of utility operations. It supports features essential for reliable and secure communication, including time synchronization, data integrity checks, and error recovery mechanisms. These capabilities make DNP3 highly suitable for monitoring and controlling remote devices and systems critical to public utilities.
