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 4: Implementing the Industrial IoT Data Flow

  1. OPC Classic uses COM/DCOM, while OPC UA is platform-independent
  2. Remote Procedure Call
  3. OPC abstracts the connected device, providing standard and common interfaces to query its data
  4. If the security mode is Sign, the OpenSecureChannel is sent using the PrivateKey of the client Application Instance Certificate as a signature
  5. A session is a logical connection between a client and a server
  6. The I-IoT Edge has to manage more signals than the IoT Edge
  7. The best choice depends on the specific plant environment and the requirements of the specific use case
  8. The OPC Proxy can act as an OPC concentrator, gathering the data from several OPC Classic or UA servers and making it available through a unique endpoint without the need to cross DCOM traffic between network boundaries
  9. Because we often have to deal with old devices, for which OPC...
