Methodology for Providing the Efficiency of the Data Network of a Mining Enterprise

Abstract

The article is aimed at developing a methodology to improve the efficiency of the data network of the mining enterprise as a methodological basis for the design of the software and hardware complex of scientific and technical support of the specialized departments of the mining enterprise, responsible for the operation of the data network. The methodology allows to determine the optimal modes of operation of the data network for the current state of the automation object and for predictable changes of both the automation object and the technology (standards) of the data network. The structure of the data network of the mining enterprise is given. The general structure of the simulation model is given. Considered use cases for the proposed methodology to optimize data network operation modes, for detection of "bottlenecks" and for the selection of technology for the building and modernization of the data network. Software and hardware implementation of the proposed methodology can be operated in the profile departments of the mining enterprise, responsible for operating the data network, educational and research teams associated with the problems of construction and analysis of telecommunications networks, as well as for manufacturers of automated systems for mining enterprises as a testing ground.
