EUROPEAN TEMPUS TATU PROJECT AND WIRESHARK SOFTWARE IN INDUSTRIAL NETWORKS DATA TRANSFER PROTOCOLS STUDYING AND ANALYZING

Abstract

Industrial data transfer technologies are implementing in industry, transport, energetic together with Industry 4.0 and IIoT concepts. Compatible with previous generations TCP/IP based protocols ProfiNet, ModBus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT were created to perform com-plex technical systems remote control. In 2013 – 2017 European TEMPUS TATU (Trainings in Automation Technologies for Ukraine) project was realized and TATU Smart Lab (TSL) equipment was obtained. TSL is a set of devices for modern automation technologies studying. It matches to Indus-try 4.0 and IIoT concepts. It contains programmable logic controllers, I/O devices, switches, wireless access points and can be used for studying of Ethernet based data transfer technolo-gies, wireless data transfer, TCP/IP technologies, hard real-time systems, EtherCAT, CAN, RS232/485, PROFINET, Modbus TCP interfaces. WIRESHARK software allows to analyze network traffic and supports capturing of long network protocols list. It helps to understand the reason of network problems, simplifies indus-trial and corporate networks exploitation.
