Industrial networks sessions

Interconnectivity of enterprise IT and industrial control systems is increasingly commonplace, optimizing operations and reducing monitoring and maintenance costs – but this accessibility increases security risks to intellectual property, assets, products, environment and workers. See how remote access can be provided while appropriately mitigating risk.

A ROKLive session

Learn how FactoryTalk® Network Manager™ software can help improve industrial network visibility and troubleshooting by providing intuitive network information. Designed for non-IT personnel, FactoryTalk Network Manager software allows for discovery of plant floor assets, creation of "as-built" topology with live device-centric views and alarm/event monitoring for historical analysis.

This session reviews the considerations for successful design and deployment of high-performance EtherNet/IP features such as: Gigabit Ethernet, Direct Device Level Ring (DLR) to meet machine-level network topology needs and Network Address Translation (NAT) to enable application code reuse. The sessions also includes recommendations for architectures that include real-time applications such as motion control and switch selection considerations.

When choosing the appropriate industrial switch for your network, we understand there is a lot to consider. We offer many options from unmanaged, to lightly managed, to fully managed switch versions with varying degrees of flexibility. Which is best for your application? Learn more about how to get the balance of functionality at the right price-point for your application, and see how the industrial switches are used within Converged Plantwide Ethernet tested and recommended network architectures.

A ROKLive session

This session presents best practices for enabling secure communication and integration between industrial automation and control systems (OT), and information technology (IT). The IDMZ is an additional layer of defense in depth to securely share IACS data and network services between the industrial and enterprise zones. We cover important use cases for the IDMZ including secure remote access, stream production data to the cloud and enabling cloud services to support production systems. Join us to learn more about design implementation and configuration considerations for modern, digitally integrated production environments and how the IDMZ needs to evolve.
