The article clearly stated that a PLC caused the "data storm". Does anybody know the type of PLC: manufacturer and model? I am working to unravel a problem of this very nature, where a critical control system suffered a data storm and the source of the storm is unknown. It does have several PLC's on the network, and if they could be the cause of the storm, that information would be of benefit.
