SANS 410 || 100% Correct Answers.
Industrial Control System (ICS) correct answers A device, or set of devices, that manages,
commands, directs, or regulates the behavior of other devices or systems.
ICS technology drivers correct answers Reliability, efficiency, safety, and ease of use.
Discrete Process correct answers A process where a specified quantity of material moves as a
unit between workstations and each unit maintains it's unique identity.
Batch Process correct answers A process that requires the mixing of raw materials, usually in a
heated vessel.
Continuous Process correct answers A physical system that is represented through variables that
are smooth an uninterrupted in time.
Hybrid Process correct answers reactive systems that intermix discrete and continuous processes
Process Engineer correct answers Designs the systems and processes used in the control
environment.
Field Technician correct answers Maintains and repairs field devices
Programmer correct answers Implements the individual steps of the process code and deploys the
code to the controllers.
Operator correct answers Works in the operations center remotely managing and controlling the
process
Owner/Operators correct answers Purchases and uses the system. responsible for safe operation
and meeting regulations.
Vendors correct answers Manufacture equipment and software
Integrator correct answers Design, configure, test, train, and refresh systems.
Government correct answers Implement guidance and regulation
programmable logic controller (PLC) correct answers Computer based, solid-state devices that
control industrial equipment and processes.
Remote terminal unit (RTU) correct answers Is installed to report local system information and
otherwise communicate with the upstream supervisory system. Connection typically made using
RS-232 or RS-485
, Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) correct answers Used in the power industry primarily, and
have limited function, but contain their own control logic and are usually micro-controller based.
Digital Protective Relay (DPR) correct answers Contains a micro-controller with the specific
purpose of measuring voltages and currents to determining whether a fault in the system exists.
Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) correct answers Measure voltages and currents at principle
intersecting locations on a power grid and can output accurately timestamped voltage and current
phasors.
Communication Gateway correct answers Facilitates data acquitting, storage, transmission and
protocol conversion though the industrial data network. Widely used to apply timestamp data to
logs for locally connected RTUs
Communication Modules correct answers Connect FEP into networks of intelligent electronic
devices (IED) such as modbus or PROFIBUS.
Real Time Operating System (RTOS) correct answers Runs on an embedded device and is
specialized in running programs with specific scheduling paradigm.
Microkernels correct answers Responsible for Inter-process Communication (IPC), virtual
memory, and scheduling.
Ladder Diagram (Ladder logic) correct answers Relay logic displays and drawings and was
written to be understood by technicians. Operates on rules rather than producers or functions.
Each pass over is called a scan, and it occurs many times per second.
Function Block Diagram (FBD) correct answers Uses a series of blocks with a purpose and
inputs and outputs strung together. The order by which the blocks executes depends on the
Vendor.
Structured Text (ST) correct answers A Series of instructions to include statements implemented
by a vendors use of an editor, such as programming languages like C.
Instruction List(IL) correct answers Similar to assembly language, this is a very low level
language that executes quickly and takes up less space.
Sequential Function Chart (SFC) correct answers Steps from top to bottom of instructions,
executing commands and transitions wait for conditions to be true to move forward.
Cyber Impact (PLC) correct answers Can include disruption to communications to the device,
changing configuration for accessing the device, modifying applications, and manipulating
firmware.
