A reconfigurable production is able to adapt to a new product in a short time. This can be built up from cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) which exchange various data with several devices simultaneously via a convergent network. In these future production systems, convergent networks will connect more participants than real-time production networks do today. In order to enable uninterrupted operation, reconfigurations must not affect existing communication. Due to this limitation, fragmentation of the configuration can occur, restricting future operations. This paper investigates fragmentation caused by reconfigurations using a simulation to determine whether fragmentation can lead to problems in future production networks.
