Industrial Ethernet Troubleshooting

Detect, investigate and resolve recurring problems on industrial Ethernet networks (EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP-CIP, PROFINET, Modbus-TCP).

Course Description

This industrial Ethernet troubleshooting training gives commissioning and maintenance engineers a structured method and the right tools to find and fix faults on real-time industrial networks.

What the industrial Ethernet troubleshooting training covers

The course covers a systematic troubleshooting method, the physical layer and cabling faults, frame and traffic analysis, timing and synchronisation problems, and protocol-specific diagnostics for EtherCAT, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP, using analysers and built-in diagnostic data. Common failure patterns and how to avoid them are discussed.

Who should attend

Commissioning, maintenance and support engineers, and integrators responsible for keeping industrial Ethernet networks running.

What you will learn

By the end, participants can apply a repeatable troubleshooting process, read analyser and diagnostic data, and resolve the most common industrial Ethernet faults.
