Hi All,
I'm doing mainly PLC programming but dabbling in industrial networking.
I am investigating an intermittent communication fault between a AB 1756-L82E (v33) and a RTU. PLC executes EthernetI/P Explicit messaging instructions. I have enabled logging on the RTU, is there any way to capture message logs from the PLC side?
Question part 2:
The issue has occurred once in the last month, so I doubt i'm going to find anything, and my hunch is the RTU Ethernet port has frozen up, as this has happened at other sites. However I have an order to do some on site investigation, what are some valuable documents / findings I can produce as part of the exercise / report?
I'm sure this is an exercise network ppl go though all the time:
-Wireshark capture?
-Average traffic throughput?
-iperf?
-Scan with fluke cat6 tester?
Basically wanting to show I properly investigated the issue..
Interested to see what comes back!
