Limit the amount of broadcast and multicast traffic on the supervisory control
network:
•
Eliminating unwanted traffic reduces the load on devices, switches, and the
network.
•
Eliminating unnecessary incoming broadcast traffic also minimizes
network load.
It is important to prevent network traffic from coming into the supervisory
control (level 2) and manufacturing operations (level 3) network from other
levels. Likewise, it is equally important to make sure that traffic on the control
system network does not get propagated into the plant enterprise network
Default Setting in the Studio 5000 Environment
The support for unicast communication and the default settings in the
Studio 5000 environment depend on the version of software. Later versions
include the unicast features of earlier versions.
