The number of interconnected devices is growing constantly due to rapid\ndigitalization, thus providing attackers with a larger attack surface.\nParticularly in critical infrastructures and manufacturing, where processes can\nbe observed and controlled remotely, successful attacks could lead to high\ncosts and damage. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate Industrial Control\nSystem (ICS) devices like Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to make these\nsectors more secure. One possible attack vector is the exploitation of the\nnetwork communication of devices. Thus, a robust communication system is\nessential to ensure security. Unfortunately, the high demand for real-world\nICSs makes it difficult to assess component security during its runtime.\nHowever, this is possible in a research testbed where tests could be done and\nanalyzed in a safe environment. In this paper, we introduce our testbed and\nmeasurement methods for communication robustness test research of ICS\ncomponents.\n
