EtherNet/IP Hands-On Training (Live, In-Person)
Designed as the next step for learning about EtherNet/IP after the EtherNet/IP Quick Start for Vendors, this training provides a deeper exploration of the EtherNet/IP protocol.
Each participant will use a Raspberry Pi-based EtherNet/IP trainer board featuring a simple EtherNet/IP implementation. Through a combination of instruction and hands-on lab activities using common software tools, participants will gain a deeper understanding of basic EtherNet/IP concepts.
Topics include:
- EtherNet/IP Encapsulation and the protocol architecture
- Explicit Messaging for configuration, diagnostics, and data access
- Implicit Messaging (I/O Communications) for real-time control applications
- Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) File creation and use
- Conformance Testing fundamentals
- Interoperability and integration into a simple control system
This is a one-day course being held at the ODVA Headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.
Prerequisites: Participants are expected to have at least cursory familiarity with EtherNet/IP, such as having completed the EtherNet/IP Quick Start for Vendors course. Register for EtherNet/IP Hands-On training, or request information on future trainings using the buttons at the top.
