I have been given the following question for part of my coursework,
a) Describe a communications network that could be used with a modern PLC system.
Guidance: Your work should include referenced evidence, and appropriate illustrations. The configuration type also needs to be supported with evidence that shows it is a real (commercial) network rather than one just in theory
The problem I am having is how can I show that a network is commercial? My original answer to this was basically as follows; line topology, rs485 communication standards with modbus protocol. I then referenced a company who use this exact configuration to connect their PLC controlled robot cells. However, the tutor says I have not linked my answer to a real commercial network. How else could I possibly show this is a "real" network and not just one in theory?
Thankyou in advance for your time
