Abstract：Conventional protection solutions centered on hardware-based detection devices and passive defense mechanisms exhibit significant limitations including high intrusiveness,delayed response,and insufficient traceability,making it difficult to meet the dual security requirements of high real-time performance and high stability in coal mine industrial control systems.To overcome the bottlenecks of traditional protection technologies,this paper explores the application of digital twin technology in the field of coal mine industrial control network security.Firstly,the current security status of coal mine industrial control networks is systematically reviewed,and the applicability and potential advantages of digital twin technology in industrial control network security are analyzed in conjunction with research progress on digital twin models.Secondly,an experimental environment is established based on the OpenPLC platform,and empirical tests are conducted in attack-defense confrontation scenarios targeting security vulnerabilities of the Modbus protocol to validate the actual protective efficacy of digital twin technology.Finally,based on experimental data and actual conditions in coal mine industrial sites,the main challenges faced by digital twin technology in practical deployment are thoroughly discussed,and its future development pathways are identified.This study not only verifies the effectiveness and practical value of digital twin technology in coal mine industrial control network security attack-defense scenarios,but also systematically identifies key issues in on-site deployment of this technology,clarifying core directions for subsequent research and development.Thus,it provides a reference technical path for the engineering application and promotion of digital twin technology in the field of coal mine industrial control network security.
