IEEE xxxx e Submission: Required Log Items 1 September 2008 Ryoji Ono, Hirohito Nishiyama, Tatsuji MunakaSlide 4 Motivation and Goals Fault analysis is one of the key features for the network used in manufacturing systems. Event logs and statistics are the minimum requirements. At least we need to define the essential log items and also the way to access them to enable the minimum set of fault analysis. –IEEE or IEEE802.11k MIB can be referred.
