Hi Everyone,
I'm currently working on some OT network upgrades for my company across two sites. Painfully, the two sites have gone in different directions on the PLC side of things. One is standardized on Rockwell and the other has standardized on Siemens. (all occurred well before my time with the company).
For selection of Switches for these upgrade I am faced with a couple of options. I was hoping for some opinions on which approach to take here.
Option 1: Select one range of switch and standardize across both sites.
Option 2: Install the Scalance Range on the Siemens site and Stratix Range on the Rockwell site.
(I understand there are other switch vendors, however I would like to stick with either Siemens or Rockwell)
Can anyone offer any advise on which way they would go and why?
We are designing based on the Purdue Model and aiming for a fault tolerance of 1, most likely deploying ring topologies at both sites.
TIA
Jayden
