Industry overview

About this field

Industrial networking connects everything on the factory floor — PLCs, HMIs, drives, sensors and enterprise systems. It uses specific protocols (Modbus, Profibus, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET) and demands reliability, low latency and deterministic communication. This programme teaches you to design, install and troubleshoot industrial networks with proper segmentation, redundancy and cybersecurity.

Career pathways

Roles you'll be ready for

Industrial Network TechnicianInstalls, configures and maintains industrial switches, routers and communication modules on plant networks.
Fieldbus EngineerSets up and troubleshoots fieldbus networks — Profibus, Modbus, EtherNet/IP — connecting PLCs to field devices.
OT Network Security AnalystMonitors and protects industrial networks from cyber threats, manages firewall rules and conducts vulnerability assessments.
Communications Integration EngineerBridges communication between different protocols and systems, ensuring seamless data flow from sensor to cloud.

Hands-on projects

Real builds, not slideware

PRJ-01
Modbus Network Setup

Configure a Modbus RTU network with a master PLC and five slave devices, verify data exchange and diagnose communication faults.

PRJ-02
VLAN Segmentation Lab

Design and implement VLAN segmentation between office IT and shop-floor OT networks using managed industrial switches.

PRJ-03
Protocol Bridge

Set up a gateway that bridges Modbus TCP devices to an EtherNet/IP network, validating data integrity in both directions.
