Introduction to Industry 4.0 · Module 03: communication protocols · Lesson
With Ub-IoT installed on the machine, the data still has to reach the internet over a reliable connection. That is where the company firewall rules, the missing cable at the install point and the congested Wi-Fi show up. This lesson walks through each hurdle and the three connection options the device offers: Ethernet, Wi-Fi and LoRa.
In this lesson
- Firewalls and access control: the IT rules for a new device to join the network
- Missing cabling and limited Wi-Fi coverage: cost, physical access and production downtime
- Congested wireless networks, instability and dropped communication
- Ethernet, Wi-Fi or LoRa: how the device adapts to what the plant already has
