• The general objective of CoNeT:▫ Update the knowledge and skills of existing employees in

Ethernet-based systems and related areas in the field of

Industrial Automation: Realtime Ethernet in an Industrial environment as

Input/Output fieldbus Industrial Ethernet as communication platform for vertical

integration between production and administration floor▫ produce independent training modules in Industrial

Ethernet based Network Systems

Objective CoNeT (Cooperative Network Training) (1)

GM2 11/2/2010

• The general aims of this project can be divided into five main areas:▫ To train automation engineers, maintenance engineers,

process workers and under- and postgraduates in modern network technology applied to control operations and automated solutions

▫ To develop hands-on training modules at different levels of complexity aimed at students and company employees

▫ To assemble mobile laboratories▫ To foment mobility between the companies, universities

and other organisations involved in the project▫ To develop the general, vocational and social skills of the

trainees and trainers involved.

• CML will be developed and assembled• After the project period, these boxes can be easily

multiplied• The equipment can be very easily extended, depending on

the local needs in future• For the local needs we need to have input of the NRG• Maybe, part of the equipment will be financed by the

participating companies.• The materials will be developed in English and edited by a

native speaker before the first test phase

Practical training CoNeT Mobile Labs (CML)

GM2 11/2/2010

• CML (=portable boxes equipped with industrial network devices) can be exchanged between the partners as the labs are small

• Laboratories can be brought to the companies where the engineers and technicians can be trained on the floor

• All Laboratories can be brought to one place for training (e.g. Intensive Programme (IP))

Why CoNeT Mobile Labs?

GM2 11/2/2010

• Some topics in industrial network systems have been identified as areas of need by the Consortium (GM1)▫ We translate these topics in training modules▫ Each of these modules stands alone, meaning that it

does not matter in which order they are followed by the participants of the training programme, as long as they have the right compentences to enroll in the module

▫ In GM1 per module a team leader and team members were assigned

GM2 11/2/2010

• A questionnaire was sent to the industrial partners

interested in trainings in the field (= First Input)▫ Taking into account the comments from the needs▫ Industrial partners can become member of the national

resonance group ▫ The comments from the needs analysis will be taken into

account while tuning the outlines• Next Step: Local partner(s) organize a meeting with the

resonance group to discuss the needs (= Second Input)

• Each participating country will install a NRG • NRG adapt the content of the modules in accordance with the

need analysis ▫ provide input to course design ▫ discuss the subjects covered by the training programme, the

training materials and mobile laboratories created • NRG provide facilities for testing and evaluation • The ECTS and competence files will be discussed in the NRG

▫ competence files should reflect the industry’s needs, therefore, information should be obtained using the different NRG

▫ are the competences needed in the industry correctly covered?

• As soon as the outlines of the modules are adapted to the requirements of the local industry the development of the training materials and the mobile laboratories can start

• The NRG collaborating with the academic partners will provide input to course design and content

• NRG provide facilities for testing and evaluation of the modules

• Each module will be tested and evaluated in work situations and feedback of the NRG will be incorporated into the materials
