Seminars explain industrial Ethernet technology

Free one-day seminars increase industry awareness and technical expertise of how to implement EtherNet/IP, the industrial Ethernet technology managed by ODVA.

ODVA is organising a series of EtherNet/IP seminars designed to increase industry awareness and technical expertise of how to implement EtherNet/IP, the industrial Ethernet technology managed by ODVA.

The free, one-day seminars for potential users and vendors of EtherNet/IP products and networks will be held at various locations around the world.

"By leveraging the economies of scale found in standard, commercial Ethernet technology, EtherNet/IP is re-defining the use of Ethernet on the plant floor by making it a viable option for most industrial applications", said Katherine Voss, Executive Director of ODVA.

"With this series of seminars, ODVA will provide potential users and vendors with the basic knowledge they need to evaluate critically how EtherNet/IP is the right investment for decades to come".

The seminar titled "EtherNet/IP: the proven and complete solution for manufacturing automation" will present the value proposition of implementing EtherNet/IP industrial networks.

The first seminar in this series was given during ODVA's 2006 CIP Networks Conference and 11th Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

Upcoming confirmed dates and locations in 2006 are: 15th June 2006; Guangzhou, China; 22nd June 2006, Southfield, Michigan, USA; and 19th October 2006, Houston, Texas, USA.

Other dates will be announced this year for the following locations: Japan, Denmark, Korea, Italy, the UK and the USA.

The "EtherNet/IP: quick start" seminar series will educate potential vendors of EtherNet/IP products about the basics of designing an EtherNet/IP product.

This series will commence during the second half of 2006, and also will be held at locations around the globe.
