Lesson 2: Industrial Connectivity, OPC UA, MQTT, Edge, and Data Acquisition

PLCs, RTUs, SCADA, gateways, edge devices, field networks, and source-system inventories
OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, PROFINET, industrial Ethernet, addressing, tags, and interoperability
Edge buffering, filtering, normalization, store-and-forward, latency, and reliability
Certificates, identities, secure endpoints, brokers, topics, namespaces, and client sessions
Connectivity testing, data-quality validation, communication diagnostics, and recovery

Create or review a practical configuration for plcs, rtus, scada, gateways, edge devices, field networks, and source-system inventories.
Build and test an exercise involving opc ua, mqtt, modbus, profinet, industrial ethernet, addressing, tags, and interoperability and edge buffering, filtering, normalization, store-and-forward, latency, and reliability.
Use diagnostics or evidence to validate connectivity testing, data-quality validation, communication diagnostics, and recovery.

Explain plcs, rtus, scada, gateways, edge devices, field networks, and source-system inventories.
Apply opc ua, mqtt, modbus, profinet, industrial ethernet, addressing, tags, and interoperability and edge buffering, filtering, normalization, store-and-forward, latency, and reliability.
Validate and troubleshoot connectivity testing, data-quality validation, communication diagnostics, and recovery.
