Introduction

This 1-day course addresses the fundamentals and best practices in deploying industrial Ethernet networks, with focus on reliability and redundancy, security, future proofing, and reducing the total cost of infrastructure ownership.

For a limited time, all attendees will receive Hirschmann’s LITE MANAGED SWITCH GECKO 8TX.

Objective

Participants will gain a basic understanding of Industrial Ethernet, and learn the best practice in deploying these networks.


Intended Audience

This training course is suitable for Design Engineers or Consultants, Service and Maintenance Technicians, System Integrators/ Installers/Network Engineers and Network owners and operators.

• OSI 7 layer model Why is it relevant and how do I use it practically?
• Do I use copper or fibre? What are the different cables and connectors available?
• What is an IP address or MAC address? How are they related?
• Star, Daisy Chain, Ring or Mesh topologies – Which is best and why?
• How do I segregate a network correctly in layer 2 and 3?
• What is a redundancy protocol? How do I measure real failover recovery times?
• Basic security measures to implement
• What are the best practices of successful local and global installations?
