When it goes quiet you can hear the wolves
The first EtherNet/IP I/O system I ever worked on was a sawmill retrofit with some enormous Newnes debarkers at the infeed. Every time a log came in the whole wood-frame building shook.
We started ramping up speed on the sawline and had the big hogs chewing up waste and .. WWEEEERRRRRNNNNNNNnnnnnn....... everthing coasted to a stop.
The integrator had chosen Netgear switches with "wall wart" power supplies and they'd simply shaken out of the receptacles in the enclosure.
As far as I know they're still zip-tied in place.
That was a great startup; there was no budget for travel or lodging so I camped in the nearby State Park in the bed of a borrowed 1984 F-150.
