Abstract

A system and method for simulating a stress or failure in a network of a plurality of simulated networked program logic controllers includes simulating a plurality of networked program logic controllers in a network, the networked program logic controllers each having network information defining a node, the network information being selected from a type of program logic controller, an I/O connected to the program logic controller and a type of connection for the program logic controller; providing an interface in communication with each of the networked program logic controllers for simulating a network error; and activating the interface for inducing one of a stress or failure in the network.
