Hey guys, I have a customer who wants to install a plant process network. Of course this is a large project and its barely in the development phase. The plant has several stand-alone devices and several machines with local networks. Some of those machines have managed switches and others have dummy switches. The plant network would aide in cross communications between PLC's, device recovery, management of the devices. This may also include a VPN connection to the network for remote support.
Due to the size of the plant, the network would consist of managed fiber/copper networks.
Any advice or things I should look for in the design of this system?
Thanks
