Hands-On Industrial Internet of Things

By: Giacomo Veneri, Antonio Capasso

Overview of this book

We live in an era where advanced automation is used to achieve accurate results. To set up an automation environment, you need to first configure a network that can be accessed anywhere and by any device. This book is a practical guide that helps you discover the technologies and use cases for Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). Hands-On Industrial Internet of Things takes you through the implementation of industrial processes and specialized control devices and protocols. You’ll study the process of identifying and connecting to different industrial data sources gathered from different sensors. Furthermore, you’ll be able to connect these sensors to cloud network, such as AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google IoT, and OEM IoT platforms, and extract data from the cloud to your devices. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll gain hands-on experience in using open source Node-Red, Kafka, Cassandra, and Python. You will also learn how to develop streaming and batch-based Machine Learning algorithms. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the features of Industry 4.0 and be able to build stronger, faster, and more reliable IoT infrastructure in your Industry.

Chapter 2: Understanding the Industrial Process and Devices

  1. The actuator
  2. A device is defined as an independent physical entity able to implement one or more functionalities
  3. An event is an occurrence of a specific condition, such as the reaching of a definite temperature
  4. A process characterized by processing cycles based on single parts or individual units of a product
  5. There are six levels in the canonical CIM pyramid representation
  6. SCADA applications are at the third level of the canonical CIM pyramid representation
  7. Between 100 and 500 milliseconds
  8. Through OPC, the PLC/DCS can expose tags, time-series, alarms, events and SOEs to any system implementing the OPC interfaces
  9. Store and forward is a mechanism to guarantee data transfer along the communication channel in case of poor, intermittent, or overloaded connectivity
