ABSTRACT: A kind of cyber security testbed for networked mechatronics monitoring and control system based on DETERlab infrastructure is designed and implemented in this paper. It is a novel platform on which researchers can do the system cyber security evaluation and countermeasures investigation. A typical networked mechatronics system architecture is emulated according to the submitted ns script file. DETERlab servers use the hardware resources to setup the test nodes such as PLC, Master IPC and etc. A kind of software tool is developed to make the test nodes can communicate with each other according to the Modbus TCP protocol. Some other software are also applied in this testbed for generating attack and monitoring the network communication status. This testbed is applied to do Dos attack test successfully. The results show that the testbed proposed in this paper has high practicability, reality and scalability. It can do great help for the cybersecurity research work about the networked mechatronics system.
