Overview
What you will study
Ethernet is fast becoming the obvious choice for automation networks worldwide. It is a rugged, versatile technology, equally at home in a chemical plant, on an ocean-going vessel and in the cockpit of a fighter aircraft. While the packet structure of Ethernet has not changed since its inception, technologies such as fast and gigabit Ethernet, industrial Ethernet, VLANs, redundant rings and real-time (deterministic) Ethernet for motor control applications have increased the complexity and choices available in planning and designing these systems. As Ethernet has become more complex, a number of misconceptions have arisen as to how Ethernet functions and how the system should be optimally configured. The Setting Up, Understanding and Troubleshooting of Industrial Ethernet and Automation Networks workshop offered by IDC Technologies addresses these issues in a clear and practical manner.
