Intermittent Ethernet packet loss only when the conveyor starts

The LiDAR stream is stable while the conveyor is idle, but packets are lost when the motor starts. The sensor and industrial PC remain powered. Which checks would help separate an EMC issue from network congestion?

Capture switch port statistics and a packet trace while also monitoring supply voltage at the scanner. Inspect shield termination, cable routing and separation from motor leads, then repeat the test with a temporary known-good cable routed away from the drive.

If possible, test the scanner and PC on an isolated switch with no other traffic. That comparison helps distinguish dropped packets at the physical link from congestion elsewhere in the plant network.
