OTA with Ubuntu Core

  IoT (Internet of Things) : IoT refers to the interconnection of everyday objects, devices, and appliances to the internet, allowing them to collect and exchange data. These objects, often embedded with sensors and communication hardware, can include everything from smart thermostats and wearable fitness trackers to industrial machines and autonomous vehicles. IoT enables these devices to transmit data, receive commands, and interact with other devices or centralized systems, often with minimal human intervention. Whether it’s smart cities, wearable technology, robotics, autonomous vehicles, or any other new and emerging IoT sector, network connectivity is central to IoT’s advancement. OTA (Over-the-Air) Updates : OTA updates are a method of remotely delivering software updates and patches to devices or systems connected to the internet. This process allows for the seamless and efficient deployment of updates to devices without requiring physical access or manual intervention. OTA...

SCADA

  SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition . It is a system that is used to monitor and control industrial processes. SCADA systems are used in a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, power generation, and oil and gas. A SCADA system typically consists of a number of different components, including: Sensors: Sensors are used to collect data about the industrial process, such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate. PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers): PLCs are used to control the industrial process based on the data collected by the sensors. HMI (Human-Machine Interface): The HMI is a computer display that allows the operator of the SCADA system to monitor and control the industrial process. The SCADA system works by collecting data from the sensors and sending it to the PLCs. The PLCs then use this data to control the industrial process. The operator of the SCADA system can monitor the industrial process and make changes to the control setting...

MODBUS

  Modbus is a serial communication protocol developed by Modicon in 1979 for use with its programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It is a simple and robust protocol that is widely used in industrial automation applications. Modbus works by using a master-slave architecture. The master device is responsible for initiating all communications and the slave devices are responsible for responding to the master's requests. Modbus messages can be used to read or write data from the slave devices. Modbus is a request-response protocol. This means that the master device sends a request to the slave device and then waits for the slave device to respond. The slave device then responds to the master device with the requested data or with an error message if the request was not valid. Modbus is a very versatile protocol and can be used to communicate with a wide variety of devices, including PLCs, sensors, actuators, and other industrial devices. It is also relatively easy to implement and use, ...
