Industrial Connectivity Needs—Now and in the Future
The first step to enabling IIoT applications is to connect your previously unconnected industrial field devices and assets. Accomplishing this task requires an understanding of what kinds of OT assets you need to connect to and specific connectivity requirements, such as connecting OT assets to a local network or a cloud server. Since OT assets in industrial applications mainly use serial or I/O communication interfaces, understanding how to choose the right serial and I/O connectivity solutions is essential to enable industrial connectivity. Moreover, there are additional considerations you need to keep in mind when connecting OT assets to remote or cloud servers. In this chapter, you will learn how to choose solutions for serial connectivity, remote I/O connectivity, and IIoT device connectivity.
