Simulation Model and Scenarios for Testing Detectability of Cyberattacks in Industrial Control Systems

Abstract

This article concerns the detection of cyberattacks in industrial installations. A comprehensive experimental stand, and any associated simulator, have been developed in the Institute of Automatic Control and Robotics, Warsaw University of Technology. This article focuses on the simulator, its properties and its functionalities. The simulator can work in standalone mode or hardware-in-the-loop mode. For testing purposes, a wide range of cyberattacks can be designed and injected in the simulator. The approach is illustrated by a numerical example of a replay attack.
