Advantages of Embedded Linux in Industrial Automation and IIoT

Explore the advantages of embedded Linux in industrial automation and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in this informative conference talk by Benson Hougland from Opto 22. Discover how recent advances in embedded Linux, industrialized ARM-based processors, open protocols like MQTT, and standard programming methods can overcome challenges faced by companies in digitally transforming old business models. Learn about connecting to existing brownfield industrial automation equipment, exchanging useful data, and providing human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for both new and traditional industrial applications. Gain insights into various industries served, including buildings and facilities, and special projects. Examine a case study on California's renewable energy, comparing two turbine scenarios. Understand the components of a high-performance controller and explore multiple programming options. Witness live demonstrations showcasing legacy PLC connectivity in both local and cloud environments.
