Belden experts from around the world representing the market-leading Hirschmann, Lumberg Automation, Tofino Security and Belden brands will lead the sessions, and be available to answer questions, give advice and help companies customize their approach – from design to implementation.

“What makes this event unique is that it focuses 100% on Industrial Ethernet.” said Berry Medendorp, senior manager outbound marketing at Belden. “With more than 20 presentations and hands-on labs, the Design Seminar focuses on the requirements of manufacturing networks used for control, safety, security and data acquisition providing both greater insight and essential practical advice.”

Suitable for both beginners and advanced participants, the Design Seminar features seven topic areas, or “tracks.” The tracks include: Basic Ethernet Networking, Control Systems and Industrial Ethernet Networks, Network Redundancy, Ethernet Concepts and Network Management, Network Security, Industrial Wireless and Industrial Ethernet for Cabling and Connectivity applications.

The adoption of industrial Ethernet technology has been among the most transformative of all trends in industry.
