Overview
The convergence of IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) is transforming the architecture of modern industrial installations. Key advancements and best practices shaping next-generation industrial installations:
- Traditional gateways and PLCs are evolving into network switches and virtual PLCs, enabling scalable automation with higher accuracy, bandwidth, and lower latency.
- TSN Ethernet and Precision Time Protocol (PTP) enable deterministic communication.
- Precise timestamps enhance big data accuracy.
- Integration of precise time stamps with data facilitates significantly more accurate big data computations
- End-to-end TCP/IP or UDP/IP connectivity reduces costs, simplifies maintenance, and improves data access.
- New Ethernet standards (10BASE-T1S, 10BASE-T1M) are replacing legacy fieldbus systems like Modbus, CAN, and IO-Link.
- Modern protocols (MQTT, OPC-UA, OPC-UA-FX) ensure secure, efficient, and interoperable data exchange.
In this demo learn about best practices and technologies for next-generation industrial installations and discover the benefits of IT/OT integration. Discover more below.
