🔍 Key Concepts

• Redundant vs non-redundant networks in automation block diagrams (look for single vs dual lines or explicit labels such as "Dual CAN") • Differences between a LAN (Local Area Network) used for operator workstations and a CAN (Controller Area Network) used for field devices and DPUs • How interconnections between networks are shown (gateways/DPUs/vertical links between buses)

💭 Think About

• On the illustration, count how many separate network buses are drawn for the LAN and how many for the CAN. Does the diagram label either one as "dual"? • Trace any vertical connections: is there a device that links the operator workstation network at the top to the Dual CAN network serving the automation cabinets below? • Ask yourself: is the CAN shown as a single continuous network or split/partitioned for different ship systems, and are those partitions still part of one dual-redundant backbone?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether the LAN at the top is drawn as a single bus or two parallel buses and whether it is explicitly labeled as dual redundant anywhere. • Verify whether the CAN backbone is labeled "Dual CAN" and whether each partition (alarm/monitoring, power mgmt, engine control, cargo/ballast) connects to this same dual backbone. • Confirm from the diagram whether there is an interconnecting device (e.g., DPU or gateway) that directly ties the LAN bus to the Dual CAN backbone before choosing among options mentioning "interconnected" vs "no interconnectivity".

As shown in the illustrated block diagram for a distributed automation system, what statement is true concerning the area networks? Illustration EL-0096

The LAN is a single non-redundant network and the partitioned CAN is a dual redundant network, with both networks being interconnected.

The LAN is a dual redundant network and the partitioned CAN is also a dual redundant network, with no interconnectivity between the two networks.
