Standard Telemetry Lines
The workhorse connections: sub-microsecond-sampled data streaming up the fabric to feed monitoring, the twin, and the copilots.
The data that feeds intelligence
Standard telemetry lines carry the plant's observability upward. The underlying diagnostics are sampled at sub-microsecond resolution, but the streams are aggregated and transported at millisecond-to-second cadence — fast enough for the predictive twin and monitoring, without the hard determinism the control path demands.
What they carry
- The 60+ analog channels from the diagnostics constellation after validation and normalization.
- Feature-engineered streams into the L3 twin's predictive shadow.
- State and health data to L6 control-room overlays and SCADA.
- Event streams through L4 Orchestration.
Soft real-time, not hard
These lines are soft real-time: a late or dropped sample degrades a prediction but does not endanger hardware. That relaxed guarantee is what lets the twin run a 50-100 ms predictive shadow, and what lets GNNs impute occasional dropped signals from sensor topology without breaking the control loop below.
The boundary they respect
Standard telemetry lines feed the intelligence layers but are forbidden from the sub-10-microsecond command path. A twin prediction may inform an MPC agent, whose bounded output eventually reaches L1 — but the telemetry itself never actuates. Keeping the fast-but-soft data path separate from the fast-and-hard command path is the core of the real-time versus offline boundary.
These lines populate the Data Fabric and drive the KRONOS-CTRL twin.
