Hirschmann certified Industrial Ethernet Training from RMIT
Building on its close relationship with various IT companies, 
RMIT is now conducting Hirschmann certified Industrial Ethernet training in Australia.
A range of courses of 2-3 days duration each are offered, allowing students to cover a specialist need, or acquire full certification. Each course features hands-on exercises, ensuring students acquire not only an understanding of the technology and various communication protocols, but gain practical skills in configuration of important network functions such as VLANs, Redundancy, Quality of Service, Security and Network Management. The unique demands of the industrial environment, and the effect this has on product selection and system design are a constant theme. An online exam at the conclusion of each course provides formal assessment.
Course details are as follows, or download this brochure.
Hirschmann RMIT Training Course Details (946 KB)
Industrial Ethernet 1 - CT1 - 2 Days
CT1 covers the fundamentals of ethernet - duplex, unicast / broadcast / multicast, 
CSMA/CD, and then explores the basic operation of network switches - MAC Address, Learned Address Tables and Address Resolution Protocol. The comparison with hubs is made, and the makeup of the ethernet frame is explored. Network topologies and various self-healing mechanisms are addressed, as well as the key elements of Traffic Control - VLAN, Flow Control and Quality of Service. The ISO 7 Layer network model is introduced.
Industrial Ethernet 2 - CT2 - 3 Days
Prerequisite - CT1. Building on CT1, CT2 addresses 'Internet Protocol' - addressing, routing, and the structure of IP packets, as well as higher layer protocols TCP/UDP and the increasingly important management of Multicast traffic. Special functions - time, messaging and industrial protocols are covered, as well as the basics of security mechanisms - RADIUS, Address Translation, Port Forwarding and Access Control Lists.
Industrial Routing - CT3 - 2 Days
Prerequisite - CT2. The function of routers is addressed, including common unicast routing protocols RIP and OSPF. Router redundancy protocols - VRRP, HiVRRP and multicast routing protocols - DVMRP, PIM-DM & PIM-SM are covered.Rail Family - Theory and Practice - CP1 - 3 Days
Prerequisite - CT1 & CT2. Commencing with a review of the Hirschmann switch family, the course addresses product selection including firmware options, then a wide range of Layer 2 network configuration functions. This includes housekeeping aspects such as firmware management and backup & restore, to port configuration, VLANs, Redundancy, Security and Diagnostics.
Network Management with Hirschmann Industrial HiVision - CP2 - 2 Days 
Prerequisite - CP1. Network management is often neglected, and this course highlights the important role that a network visualisation tool can play in maintaining uptime in mission critical networks. Starting with device identification, the material covers the various graphical representations of data that is available from most switches using SNMP, as well as diagnostic tools and alerts using traps. The new MultiConfig™ function for quickly configuring groups of devices is covered, and finally the inbuilt OPC, Web and ActiveX servers that provide remote monitoring flexibility.
Industrial Backbone Components - Theory and Practice - CP3 - 3 Days 
Prerequisite - CP2. Starting with a hardware profile of the MACH4000 and MICE products, the firmware options for these Layer 3 products are presented. Port based and VLAN based router interfaces serve to introduce static and the dynamic routing protocols RIP and OSPF. Router redundancy, Multicast Routing and Access Control Lists (ACL) are all covered. The longer duration compared to CT3 allows for a greater depth, and additional hands-on exercises.
Recognition
The successful completion of the three blue 'CT' courses CT1 (HiRS), CT2 (HiPP), CT3 (HiBS) results in the added award of Hirschmann Industrial Systems Engineer (HiSE), while the three grey 'CP' courses (CP1 (HiES), CP2 (HiNP), CP3 (HiRP) results in the added award of Hirschmann Industrial Network Engineer (HiNE). Note that being a Germanic system, the highest attainable level is Engineer!
Strategic Significance of Ethernet
Given the ability of ethernet networks to host not only M2M data but voice and video and at incomparable data rates to any other network, they are now a strategic asset, enabling organisations in all sectors with better information interchange, mobility and simplified access to real-time data for more responsive decision making. This demands however more than a plug and play approach. It requires the network:
- to be well designed with reliability, scalability, functionality and performance taken into consideration.
- performance to be visible to operations and engineering staff, with real-time reporting
- components to be sourced from a vendor offering a total package of support services
The combination of certified training from RMIT and Hirschmann Industrial Ethernet equipment from Daanet helps ensure that you can fully exploit all that ethernet has to offer, and to do so with confidence.
