Design and troubleshoot EtherNet/IP networks for industrial control systems. Covers topology, switch selection, IGMP snooping for multicast, QoS, DLR rings, and network segmentation per the Purdue model for reliable PLC-to-I/O communication.
For Ethernet/IP Network Design & Segmentation, start with the as-running system, not a greenfield slide. Document tasks, programs, I/O, and the safety function as it is, then change it on purpose. FAT/SAT, loop checks, and a punch list beat a “we’ll tune it after startup” promise.
The useful version of Ethernet/IP Network Design & Segmentation is the version you can run on nights without a specialist on the radio. Design and troubleshoot EtherNet/IP networks for industrial control systems. Covers topology, switch selection, IGMP snooping for multicast, QoS, DLR rings, and network segmentation per the Purdue model for reliable PLC-to-I/O communication. Keep the as-found. Change one variable. Hand the next crew a log, not a story.

Controls and reliability engineers who still have to ship something a night-shift tech can maintain.
Who it is not for: license mills, VR demos, or anyone looking for a fake testimonial. We do not invent customer quotes. Certificates of completion after quizzes go in the file. They are not a journeyman card, an ISA credential, or NFPA 70E qualification by themselves.
ForgeLine Academy currently lists 78 industrial maintenance courses. 44 of those are free (Mechanical and Electrical). Premium unlocks I&E (18) and Engineering (16). That is the whole catalog — not a 22-course teaser and not a four-hour overview of the plant. Call +1 580 421 5714 or email support@forgelineacademy.com for plant cohorts and on-site classes.
Ethernet/IP Network Design & Segmentation is one course in that 78-course ladder. Mechanical and Electrical remain free. I&E and Engineering are premium. On-site and plant cohorts are scheduled through on-site training or plant support.
Training is educational. It does not replace your site's lockout/tagout, permits, PPE, or required licenses. Certificates of completion go in the file. They are not a license.
