Diagnosing Industrial Communications Networks

Today industrial communications networks are part of the fabric of most manufacturing plants globally. The upkeep of these networks is crucial to smooth plant operations. The rapid diagnosis of the communications networks minimizes the plant down time, and increases efficiency and profitability. This book outlines the research conducted into diagnosing industrial communications networks with particular focus on PROFIBUS, and PROFINET. Both software and hardware approaches are documented in this work.
