Course Number: CCP183
Type: Instructor-led
Technology: Network and Cybersecurity Courses, Process Control Courses
Category: Maintain Troubleshoot
Duration: 3 days

Instructor-led Course Catalog

Course Purpose

This course should prepare you to effectively:

Configure a Stratix® switch (5700, 8000, and/or 8300) to meet a variety of network requirements
Assign IP addresses to devices on an EtherNet/IP network using rotary switches and a variety of software
Monitor switch performance and status
Diagnose and resolve issues with switches and devices on a network

During switch configuration, you will have an opportunity to:

Configure a switch using both the Device Manager Web Interface and Studio 5000 Logix Designer® software
Set up one-to-one IP address translation (NAT) for segmenting machine-level network devices from the plant network
Secure and limit access to a switchOnce the EtherNet/IP network is up and running, you will monitor diagnostic information using web-based technologies and modify a web server module’s data views and tag values

You will resolve issues with communication between devices on a network. You will troubleshoot an EtherNet/IP network’s media and components (including the Stratix 5700 switch); run diagnostic tests to resolve system and port issues; and perform common functions such as resetting the switch.

Objectives

After completing this course, students should be able to perform the following tasks:

Assign an IP address to a computer
Assign IP addresses using:
RSLinx classic software and rotary switches
BOOTP-DHCP server software
Isolate an EtherNet/IP network problem
Diagnose problems with EtherNet/IP modules and network components
Monitor an EtherNet/IP network using web-enabled technologies

Who Should Attend

Technicians and engineers who must deploy and maintain Industrial Automation and Control System (IACS) networks should attend this course.

Prerequisites

To successfully complete this course, the following prerequisites are required:

Completion of the Studio 5000 Logix Designer Level 1: ControlLogix System Fundamentals course (CCP146) or equivalent experience, such as downloading project files to a ControlLogix controller

Student Materials

To enhance and facilitate the students’ learning experiences, the following materials are provided as part of the course package:

Student Manual includes the key concepts, definitions, examples, and activities presented in this course
Lab Book provides learning activities and hands-on practice. Solutions are included after each exercise for immediate feedback
EtherNet/IP Procedures Guide provides the steps required to complete tasks common to configuring Stratix® switches and other devices for communication over an EtherNet/IP network

Hands-on Practice

Throughout this course, you will have the opportunity to practice the skills you have learned through a variety of hands-on exercises using a Stratix 5700 EtherNet/IP Industrial Switch workstation (ABT-TDENET5700) and Stratix 8000 switch. Exercises focus on the skills introduced in each lesson.
