Hi,
What do y'all use for analysing a network concept, or currently implemented system.
I know about wireshark etc, but was wondering if there is a tool that you can put your PLC's, IO, drives, HMI's etc into, as well as message paths (perhaps) to determine what the loading on each device could be...
On one site, which is relatively small we have been having problems with non AB drives dropping off the network intermittently.
We have recently changed the switch's from 3Com to Cisco, so am going to see how that performs.
ENBT CPU loads are minimal, so do not think it is that. Not ruling out cabling either...
