“Everything must be connected”. That is pretty much the philosophy in the manufacturing environment because every sensor, every data point needs to be captured, monitored and utilized for decision making.
There is no such excuse that “we can’t bring that data point into the control system”. The need for networking...
One of the things I love the most about working with industrial control systems in the OT (Operational Technology) environment is that you never do the same thing every day.
One day you may be troubleshooting operational issues, and the next day you are building HMI (Human Machine Interface )...
Have you ever used or thought of using your HMI as a network monitoring tool?
What if your HMI system was used for more than just an operational tool? What if it can also help you, as a control system engineer, with system documentation, network troubleshooting and much more?
