CCP182 | Essentials of Industrial Ethernet Networks for an OT Professional

Course Purpose

After completing this course, you should be able to:

• Demonstrate understanding of basic Ethernet networking skills, terminology, and concepts
• Apply these skills when performing advanced network specification, configuration, and troubleshooting tasks

In this course, you will learn how to verify communications between devices, recognize data transmission types, and differentiate between OSI Model Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching functions.

Who Should Attend

Operations technology (OT) professionals (such as control engineers) and others responsible for installing, configuring, and/or maintaining industrial devices on an Ethernet network should attend this course.

Prerequisites

To successfully complete this course the ability to perform basic Microsoft Windows operating system tasks is required.

Technology Requirements

All technology is provided for student use in the classroom by Rockwell Automation. It is not necessary for students to bring any technology with them when attending this course.
