Curriculum Path

From Protocol Basics to Live Gateway Commissioning

A structured pathway for industrial teams working with PLC communication, Modbus devices, Ethernet networks and protocol gateways.

01. Industrial Communication Fundamentals

Understand protocol layers, device roles, IP addressing, serial settings, network topology and common communication failure points.

02. EtherNet/IP Integration

Configure EtherNet/IP scanner/adapter relationships, assembly instances, input/output data size and PLC tag mapping.

03. Modbus Serial — RTU / ASCII

Set up baud rate, parity, stop bits, slave IDs, RS-232/RS-485 wiring, function codes and register addressing.

04. Modbus TCP/IP

Configure TCP devices, unit IDs, holding registers, coils, input registers, polling rates and network diagnostics.

05. Red Lion Gateway Configuration

Create device profiles, map tags, convert protocols, build data blocks and test communication between PLCs and field devices.

06. HMS Anybus Gateway Configuration

Configure Anybus modules for protocol translation, data exchange, diagnostics and integration with PLC systems.

07. Troubleshooting & Commissioning

Use diagnostic LEDs, ping tests, web interfaces, serial monitors, Modbus scanners and PLC status data to solve real faults.

The Lab

Map Data. Convert Protocols. Diagnose Faults.

Participants work with real communication modules, PLC connections, serial devices and Ethernet networks to understand how industrial data moves between machines.
