Abstract :
The paper deals with modelling and analysis of heterogeneous industrial networks architectures. At first homogeneous modelling strategy using the network simulator is presented and then the role of systemC and the use of the instruction set simulator is provided. Experimental results shows that the network cannot support the workload generated by the PLCs.
