METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING AND MANAGING VIRTUAL INDUSTRIAL DEVICES IN AN INDUSTRIAL NETWORK

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and system for generating and managing virtual industrial device(s) in an industrial network. The method comprises capturing data packets associated with an ongoing industrial communication between an industrial application and an industrial device. The method further comprises segregating the captured data packets into one or more requests and the one or more responses by analyzing information comprised in the data packets. Furthermore, the method comprises storing the one or more requests along with the one or more responses for the ongoing industrial communication in memory. Moreover, the method comprises dynamically generating a virtual industrial device(s) emulating the industrial device based on the stored one or more requests and the stored one or more responses. Additionally, the method comprises establishing a communication session between the generated virtual industrial device(s) and the industrial application for performing one or more test operations on the generated virtual industrial device(s).
