Abstract :
In this paper, a simulation study is made to test the fault tolerant ability of networked machines. This ability is introduced by reallocating loads in case of controller failure. Also, the increase in machine speed for higher production, is considered. The maximum speed of operation of individual machines and fault tolerant production-lines, is studied. All machine networks of this study are built on-top-of switched Gigabit Ethernet in star topology.
