Question
How does a unidirectional KNX RF device handle bus access and collisions?
Answer
C — It sends immediately; on a collision it resends, but the 1 % duty cycle makes collisions nearly excluded
Correct: unidirectional devices transmit at once and resend if a collision happens, which is rare thanks to the 1 % duty cycle.
