The CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) for Control System Technicians course is specifically designed to provide foundational networking knowledge that can be applied to industrial automation, control systems, and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. The course focuses on networking concepts, protocols, and technologies that are essential for managing and maintaining communication in control systems.

This course aims to prepare control system technicians with the essential networking skills needed for maintaining and optimizing industrial automation networks. It combines theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on experience to ensure readiness for the CCNA certification and real-world applications.

 

Course Objectives:

1. Understand Networking Fundamentals:

Learn the basic concepts of networking, including the OSI model, TCP/IP protocols, and IP addressing.

Understand how these networking concepts apply specifically to industrial networks.

 

2. Configure and Troubleshoot Network Devices:

Gain hands-on experience with configuring routers, switches, and other network devices using Cisco IOS.

Learn troubleshooting techniques to diagnose and resolve common networking issues in control systems.

 

3. Develop Skills in Network Security:

Understand the importance of securing industrial networks.

Learn how to implement basic security measures, such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) and VPNs, to protect control systems.

 

4. Integrate Control Systems with IT Networks:

Learn best practices for integrating control systems and devices with enterprise IT networks.

Understand protocols like Modbus, DNP3, and Ethernet/IP that are commonly used in industrial automation.

 

5. Implement VLANs and Subnetting:

Learn how to design and implement VLANs for segmenting traffic in industrial networks.

Understand subnetting to optimize network performance and address IP addressing needs in control systems.
