An experimental stand, and an associated simulator have been constructed to enable tests of combined cyber attacks and faults in industrial processes, and, possibly, to distinguish between them. Some scenarios of cyber attacks have been presented, analysed theoretically and then tested on the simulator, demonstrating that detection of cyber attacks by this method is possible.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
