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.

Questions

  1. What is the main difference between OPC Classic and OPC UA?
    1. OPC Classic uses COM/DCOM, while OPC UA is platform-independent
    2. OPC Classic uses TCP, while OPC-UA uses HTTP
    3. OPC Classic does not have a data model, while OPC-UA does
  1. What is the mechanism used by DCOM to send and receive information between COM components in a transparent way on the same network?
    1. Marshalling
    2. Remote Procedure Call
    3. Dynamic TCP ports
  1. What is the main advantage of using OPC rather than the legacy industrial protocols of the device or equipment?
    1. OPC allows us to query for industrial data in the most efficient way
    2. OPC allows us to query for the industrial data by means of a Windows box
    3. OPC abstracts the connected device, providing standard and common interfaces to query its data
  1. How can we secure the communication channel between an OPC UA client and an OPC UA server?
    1. If the security...
