Evaluation of DoS attack impact on data traffic between SIMATIC 1510 and SIMATIC 1512 PLCs

Abstract

The paper studies the emulation of a distributed DoS impact on a laboratory stand that interacts with two programmable logic controllers: SIMATIC 1510 and SIMATIC 1512 in an automated process control system. In the course of work, internal and external DoS impacts were
made, the duration of the controller program cycle and the possibility of data transfer between the controller and peripheral devices were estimated, and a conclusion was made about the
significant impact of DoS impacts on the controller’s workflow.
