CONFIGURABLE NETWORK SWITCH FOR INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS INCLUDING DETERMINISTIC NETWORKS

摘要

A network switch 350 includes a first port 352 configured for communication with a first electric device and a second port 353 configured for communication with a second electric device in a deterministic network. The network switch includes one or more processors configured to receive at the first port a communication packet 355 associated with the first electric device and the second electric device, determine if the communication packet 355 satisfies a plurality of protocol constraints 364, and in response to the communication packet satisfying the plurality of protocol constraints 364, input one or more message characteristics from the communication packet 355 into a model 368 associated with a first industrial process. The model 368 is configured to output a process behavioral classification based on the one or more message characteristics. The one or more processors receive a process behavioral classification for the communication packet, and selectively generate a control action 372 for the ICS based on the process behavioral classification.
