Plant Automation Network Administrator
Read diagnostic port status nodes and error counters from simulated open62541 network bridge models.
Simulate link severance between ring switch nodes to determine backup path activation.
Calculate simulated convergence time and identify devices that lose polling communication.
Produce a step-by-step recovery drill playbook for planned maintenance rehearsals.
Network ring schematic displaying active/blocked ports, simulated link severance toggle, and rehearsal audit logs.
Synthetic OPC UA server variables capturing network bridge port states, packet loss rates, and link change events. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.
open62541 OPC UA Reads custom diagnostic and network monitoring information structures modeled inside open62541 servers.
langgraph, networkx, pydantic. LangGraph state graphs model sequential network failover transitions and rehearsal drill phases. Local or hosted LLM with deep comprehension of industrial network redundancy protocols (e.g., MRP, RSTP).
Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.
Correctly identifies the segment containing the severed physical link.
Verifies backup ring port unblocking within simulated protocol time limits.
Generates an actionable restoration sequence for the rehearsal team.

How work is evaluated
Correctly identifies the segment containing the severed physical link. Verifies backup ring port unblocking within simulated protocol time limits. Generates an actionable restoration sequence for the rehearsal team.
Runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, working interface, example outputs, recorded demo, tests, and action logs.
Challenge datasets
Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.
How submissions are scored
These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.
Complete workflow
Read diagnostic port status nodes and error counters from simulated open62541 network bridge models. Simulate link severance between ring switch nodes to determine backup path activation.
