Switching and Routing in Industrial Networks with SCALANCE (IK-SWIROS)

An industrial or industry-related environment without Ethernet is no longer conceivable. A high degree of reliability and sufficient capacities are demanded from hard-wired industrial networks. At the same time, a secure connection of these Ethernet networks to an existing network structure as well as the seamless integration into a corporate network is highly required. In the Switching part of the course you will learn Switched Network solutions and how they connect to real-time-capable systems in theory and in practice. The Routing section will teach you the fundamentals and knowledge required for planning, configuring, and operating network solutions in industrial environments, which are structured by routing, and their connection to company networks. You will become familiar with the special requirements of routing solutions in industry and the required fundamentals of IP communication, static routing, routing protocols, and redundancy mechanisms. The course includes ample time for practical exercises, diagnostics, and troubleshooting.

At the end of the course, you are familiar with the special requirements of industrial network solutions and will have the knowledge to plan, implement, and provide support for plain networks in an industrial or industry-related environment.

Basic knowledge about industrial ethernet. For instance knowledge according to course "Ethernet Fundamentals in Industrial Networks" (IK-ETHBAS)

Certification (Siemens CPIN-LEVEL)
This training prepares for the certification "Siemens Certified Professional for Industrial Networks - Switching & Routing". A voluntary certification examination which consists of two sections will take place at the end of the training. As an option, the examination may be taken at a later time.
Please note that before the examination you have to identify yourself by showing a valid photo identification.
