Reliable, performant and robust Industrial Ethernet infrastructures are the backbone of a modern industrial application. At the same time, it is required to connect different locations. The data communication for this is characterized by high availability under harsh conditions. Industrial Ethernet networks are up to these challenges.
With the training course “Advanced Switching and Routing in Industrial Networks with RUGGEDCOM” of the Industrial Networks Education – Certification Program, you will acquire the knowledge required to plan, implement, operate and maintain such networks.
Objectives
Switching
In the Switching part of the course participants will gain the theoretical and practical knowledge required for real world implementation of high-available Industrial Layer 2 networks and the methods applied to operate and maintain such networks. You will also get familiar with seamless redundancy mechanisms, time synchronization methods and technologies.
Routing
After completion of this section of the course participants will have theoretical and practical knowledge of
routing protocols and concepts that help facilitate communications inside and between multiple network locations using Layer 3 networks as well as service provider backbones.
The course includes ample time for practical exercises, diagnostics, and troubleshooting. At the end of the course, you are familiar with redundant network architectures based on the standard IEC 62439-3 (PRP/HSR) and will have the knowledge to plan, implement and provide support for Layer3 networks in an industrial or industry-related environment.
Participants shall have knowledge in accordance with the course “Switching and Routing in Industrial Networks with RUGGEDCOM”: Participants must have the theoretical and practical knowledge to plan, implement, operate and maintain industrial Layer2 and Layer3 networks. Participants are encouraged to attend the course “Switching and Routing in Industrial Networks with RUGGEDCOM” before this training course.
Note
Certification (Siemens CEIN-LEVEL)
This training prepares for the certification „Siemens Certified Expert 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 later.
Please note that before the examination you have to identify yourself by showing a valid photo identification.
