    netX 90 Fundamentals - One-Day Workshop

    The netX90 Fundamentals Workshop is a focused, one-day training designed to provide a solid introduction to working with the netx90 Industrial network controller. Participants will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in integrating netX90 into embedded designs.

    The workshop covers key topics such as Industrial Ethernet and fieldbus protocols, hardware integration best practices, the software host interface, development toolchain usage, and integration effort estimation. A hands-on session using the master simulation test tool rounds out the day with practical application.

    Whether you're active in hardware, firmware, or application engineering, this workshop offers a strong technical foundation to confidently implement industrial communication solutions with netX90.

    Learning objectives:
    • Understand the fundamentals of Industrial Ethernet and fieldbus protocols.
    • Learn how to design in the netX90 controller at the hardware level, including best practices and reference designs.
    • Get familiar with the netX90 host interface and how to implement software communication with the controller.
    • Set up and work with the netX90 toolchain, including development, configuration, and debugging tools.
    • Gain insight into project planning through integration cost and effort estimation.
    • A master simulation test tool is demonstrated to validate designs and simulate industrial communication scenarios.
    • Build confidence to independently plan and execute a netX90-based integration in real-world applications.
    Benefits:
    • Accelerated Integration: Save time and avoid pitfalls by learning directly from experts how to design in the netX90 efficiently.
    • Hands-On Experience: In a live demonstration of netX Studio, plugins, configuration examples, and a debug session will be presented to illustrate practical workflows.
    • End-to-End Understanding: Get a complete overview—from hardware design to software interface and testing—for a smoother product development journey.
    • Improved Development Planning: Learn how to realistically estimate the effort and cost of integrating netX90 into your project.
    • Confidence in Design Decisions: Make informed hardware and software architecture choices based on real-world application scenarios.
    • Access to Tools & Resources: Work with official Hilscher tools and also 3rd party tools like a master simulation test tool to receive guidance on their usage.
    • Networking & Support: Interact with Hilscher experts and fellow developers, and get direct answers to your design questions.
    • Certification of Participation: Validate your knowledge with a certificate recognizing your hands-on training in netX90 integration.

    Recommended Skills & Setup

    • Basic knowledge of embedded systems - Participants should be familiar with microcontrollers, real-time processing, and peripheral integration.
    • Understanding of digital hardware design - Experience with schematics, PCB layout, or component selection is recommended for the hardware design-in parts.
    • Programming experience - As the workshop involves working with embedded firmware and host interfaces, basic to intermediate programming knowledge is expected.
    • Bring your own project - We encourage participants to come with a real or planned project idea where they intend to use the netX90 Industrial Ethernet controller.
    • (Optional) Laptop – A Windows-based system in case participants wish to follow the installation of the demonstrated tools.
