Pen-testing Simatic Data Aquisition Periphery e.g. PLC S5 or S7

I have a project for which I will have to pen-test Siemens PLC's that drive production processes and do data aquisition.
 
Is there anyone who has literature on this or done this before?
 
The PLC's use TCP/IP so that will be the first thing I will go for, but most of the PLC's are simply connected to a 
propriary bus system (e.g. Interbus) which in turn is connected to a PC.  So attacking the "Data Aquisition and 
Visualisation PC" as a backdoor to the PLC would be my second option.
 
Thanks,
Patrick
