High Availability Ethernet Networking and Redundancy

Course Code

SAUTR1103



Duration

3 Days

Who is the Course intended for?

This course is aimed at engineering and technical staff involved in supporting modern Ethernet based industrial control systems.

What is covered in this Course?

The objective of this course is to provide students with a working knowledge of industrial networking both in theory and implementation. At the end of this course, students will have an understanding of the range of Schneider Electric Ethernet based communication, network architecture structures, network redundancy, high availability and implementation options associated with automation control systems.
