Switch Overload??

I have a assembly line with about 200 Ethernet devices all connected to a 24 port, netgear switch, JGS524E. We are using the switch as a dumb switch and not configuring anything inside the switch. All of the ip address get assigned from the PLC. We are having problems with the remote connection to the machine using a Cisco VPN. We had IT person collecting data on the network and the pings are 60ms all the way to the machine where the pings become 600-800ms. Is there a way we could be overloading our switch with all the data? The machine moves every 4 secs. and all 200 devices talk at basically the same time every 4 seconds. If you think its the switch what switch would you recommend?
