Abstract

Industrial process control IP networks support communications between process control applications and devices. Communication faults in any stage of these control networks can cause delays or even shutdown of the entire manufacturing process. The current process of detecting and diagnosing communication faults is mostly manual and limited to post-reaction of user complaints which are followed by noticeable process malfunctioning. This paper identifies control network specific failures and their symptoms for early detection.
