Abstract: Disclosed is an emulation method and system for preparing a monitoring device to monitor a network. A system processor correlates a first set of transmissions through a network of a monitored system to a first set of responses of a first control routine logic executed within a first monitored device of the monitored system, wherein the monitored system controls an industrial process performed within an external system coupled to the monitored system. The system processor adjusts a first parameter influencing an execution speed of the first control routine logic within a first emulation of the first monitored device to cause a response timing of the first set of responses to match a timing between two transmissions of the first set of transmissions. The system processor uses at least the first emulation to prepare the monitoring device to monitor the network to detect improper network activity affecting the industrial process while the monitored system controls the industrial process.
