Distance limitations for unmonitored data paths are severely limited.
Table 8. Cabling practices and restraints
Note:
Process verification, sometimes referred to as
end-to-end testing
, can
be considered a means of monitoring data (NFPA 92A [2000] section
3.4.6). Communicated values are an example of process verification.
A communication link can be monitored for quality, and the system
can be notified if there is a communications failure.
