Hi! I'm currently using an ethernet shield with an arduino nano that collects some sensors data and then send it to a SCADA by Modbus TCP/IP. The idea works but I'm currently experiencing lots of timeouts on the modbus when the network traffic is higher (more computers and other devices connected). It's an industrial environment but the events are non critical.
I'm looking for some guidance on how could I reduce this events of timeout. Should I have an exclusive network just for the Modbus/SCADA/Arduino? How can this be implemented?
