Industrial IoT Integration with Micro850 PLCs

Modern manufacturing relies on connecting physical hardware to the cloud for real-time data analysis. Bridging the gap between operational technology and the Internet of Things is a highly valued skill in modern industrial automation. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of Industrial IoT (IIoT) and shows you how to integrate Micro850 PLCs into connected environments. You will learn how to configure PLC communication, map industrial data, and use modern protocols to send local sensor telemetry to broader network architectures. What you'll learn: - Understand fundamental IIoT concepts, edge computing basics, and Micro850 PLC architecture - Configure communication protocols including Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and modern lightweight protocols like MQTT - Map and organize PLC memory tags for efficient data exchange with external IoT gateways - Implement basic security practices to protect industrial control data during transmission - Troubleshoot connectivity issues using systematic diagnostic techniques and written configuration guides The course starts with essential definitions of industrial networking before moving into step-by-step configuration workflows and data-mapping exercises. Designed for beginners in automation, maintenance technicians, or IT professionals looking to understand operational technology, this course requires no prior PLC programming experience.
