About this topic:
This discussion will review considerations to help you design and deploy a scalable, reliable, safe and future-ready EtherNet/IP network infrastructure. Topics will include segmentation techniques, data prioritization, resiliency, structure and hierarchy.
Concepts to be covered will include:
- Smart Industrial IoT Devices
- EtherNet/IP Industrial IoT Technology, Hardened, ODVA Conformance Tested
- Managed Infrastructure –Stratix IES for:
- Zoning (segmentation), Resiliency, Security, Diagnostics
- Zoning (Segmentation)
- Logical Model based on Standards
- Physical –e.g. CIP Bridge
- Switch Hierarchy (L2/L3), VLANs, Firewalls
- Software-Defined Virtual, Secure Group Tags
- Resiliency
- Robust Physical Layer
- Redundant Paths with Resiliency Protocols
- Redundant Switches, Wireless and Firewalls
- Time-critical Data
- Data Prioritization via Quality of Service (QoS)
- Time Synchronization via IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and CIP Sync™
- Holistic Defense-in-Depth Security
- Multiple Layers, at different IACS Levels, with diverse technology, implemented by different personas
- Convergence-ready
- Network Address Translation (NAT)
