A peer-to-peer PLC network:

A) uses the token passing access control scheme.
B) has no master PLC.
C) each device is identified by an address.
D) all of these.

Peer-to-Peer PLC Network

A network configuration where programmable logic controllers communicate directly with each other without a central server.

Token Passing

A network communication protocol where a token, or a small data message, is passed between nodes to control which node has the right to transmit.

Master PLC

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
A peer-to-peer PLC network uses the token passing access control scheme where each device has an equal chance to access the network. There is no master PLC, as all devices communicate with each other on an equal level. Each device is identified by an address to allow for communication between specific devices on the network. Therefore, all of these options correctly describe a peer-to-peer PLC network.
