What is IoT?
• What is Internet? What are things?
• Things – refers to objects which have sensors, processing ability, software, and
technologies that can connect and exchange data with other “Things”
• Internet simply implies a network of such objects where the objects can be individually
addressed
• It is not the usual internet connection
• Eg: Smart homes
• Things present on this IoT can be
Lighting
Heating/cooling
Security systems, camera systems
Media
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 4
What is IoT?
• Eg: Agriculture
IoT may include sensors measuring temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind speed,
soil moisture and so on
Farm automation can be achieved which can reduce wastage of water, improve
quality and quantity of produce
• Since there are multiple “things” or objects with sensing capabilities, a lot of data is
generated
• This becomes a starting point for Big data, analytics, AI technologies, Cloud
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 5
What is Industrial Internet of Things?
• If IoT includes industrial devices and equipment, it is called IIoT
• Equipment are connected and outfitted with sensors
• Data acquired from equipment can be analyzed and help to regulate and monitor
industrial systems in desired manner.

Cyber-Physical Systems - Definition
• “Cyber-Physical Systems or Smart systems are co-engineered interacting networks of
physical and computational components. These systems will provide the foundation of our
critical infrastructure, form the basis of emerging and future smart services, and improve
our quality of life in many areas” – NIST, Engineering Laboratory
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 14
Cyber-Physical Systems - Definition
• Systems where there are strong components of the cyber world & the physical world
and interaction between them.
• Cyber-physical systems enable the virtual digital world to interact with the physical
world.
• Eg : Intelligent manufacturing line, where the machine can communicate with the other
assets such as Robots or Tool magazines and sometimes even the products they are in
the process of making.
• In simple words, a cyber-physical system consists of a collection of computing devices
communicating with one another and interacting with the physical world via sensors
and actuators in afeedback loop.

Cyber-Physical Systems v/s Embedded Systems
• To understand Cyber-Physical Systems, one should understand Embedded Systems
• Cyber-Physical System is a combination of Embedded Systems and Physical systems
• If embedded systems are generalized to have the following capabilities-
• Compute, communicate and control
• Interact with the physical world using sensors & actuators
Then it becomes a cyber-physical system
• Eg:
• Medical Instruments
• Transportation Vehicles
• Defense systems
• Robotic Systems
• Process monitoring and Factory Automation system

Cyber-Physical Systems- Key Features
1) Reactive Computation
Classical computation model : output produced when input is supplied – a typical
computer program
Reactive system interacts with its environment in an ongoing manner via inputs
and outputs
Eg. Cruise control in a car
Inputs: Turn cruise controller ON or OFF
Change desired cruising speed
Program responds to such inputs by changing its output – output can be force
applied to engine throttle
Interaction of the system with the environment in a continuous fashion
Behavior of the system is naturally described by a sequence of observed inputs &
outputs
CPS are reactive systems
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 20
Cyber-Physical Systems- Key Features
2) Concurrency
Traditional model of computation is sequential – instructions are executed one at a
time
Concurrent computation has multiple threads of computation executing
concurrently, exchanging information to achieve desired goal
Eg: Team of autonomous mobile robots executing their code concurrently
Each robot has different tasks (building map of environment, motion planning)
which itself could be running in parallel
Can operate in synchronous or asynchronous mode
Synchronous mode: processes are executed in lock-step
Asynchronous mode: different processes execute at independent speeds
Eg. System of robots can be viewed as an asynchronous system with individual
robots exchanging messages
An individual robot may be running multiple processes in a synchronous manner

Cyber-Physical Systems- Features
3) Feedback control of the Physical world
A control system interacts with the physical world in a feedback loop by measuring
the environment via sensors and influencing it via actuators
Cruise controller is constantly monitoring the speed of the car
Adjusts the throttle force so that the speed stays close to the desired cruising speed
Design of controllers requires modeling of the dynamics of physical quantities
Eg. Need a model of how the speed of the car changes with time as a function of the
throttle force
Traditional control theory focuses on continuous-time systems
In CPS, controllers consists of discrete software operations producing discrete
outputs which makes the system interact with the continuously evolving physical
environment
Mix of discrete and continuous systems is called a hybrid system
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 23
Cyber-Physical Systems- Features
4) Real-Time computation
Real time performance is critical for cyber-physical systems unlike typical programs
Eg. For a cruise controller to control the speed of car properly, time take for
subprocesses to execute necessary computation and communicate the results
5) Safety-critical application
When designing and implementing a cruise controller, errors can lead to drastic
consequences, such as loss of life
Applications in which the safety of the system has higher priority over other
objectives are called safety-critical
Aircrafts, automobiles, medical devices are safety-critical applications
Detecting design errors in early stages using mathematical models is an important
step for safety-critical applications

5C Architecture for Manufacturing CPS
1. Smart Connection: Acquiring accurate and reliable data from machines and their
components
The data might be directly measured by sensors or obtained from controller or enterprise
manufacturing systems such as ERP, MES
Two important factors at this level have to be considered.
Considering various types of data, a seamless and tether-free method to manage
data acquisition procedure and transferring data to the central server is
required
On the other hand, selecting proper sensors (type and specification) is the
second important consideration
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 31
5C Architecture for Manufacturing CPS
2. Data-to-Information Conversion: Meaningful information has to
be inferred from the data.
In recent years, extensive focus has been applied to develop
algorithms specifically for prognostics and health management
applications.
By calculating health value, estimated remaining useful life and
etc., the second level of CPS architecture brings self-awareness to
machines.
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 32
5C Architecture for Manufacturing CPS
3. Cyber: The cyber level acts as central information hub in this architecture.
Information is being pushed to it from every connected machine to form the
machines network.
Having massive information gathered, specific analytics have to be used to
extract additional information that provide better insight over the status of
individual machines among the fleet.
These analytics provide machines with self-comparison ability, where the
performance of a single machine can be compared with and rated among the
fleet.

5C Architecture for Manufacturing CPS
4. Cognition: Implementing CPS upon this level generates
a thorough knowledge of the monitored system.
Proper presentation of the acquired knowledge to
expert users supports the correct decision to be taken.
Since comparative information as well as individual
machine status is available, decision on priority of tasks
to optimize the maintaining process can be made.
For this level, proper infographics are necessary to
completely transfer acquired knowledge to the users.
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 35
5C Architecture for Manufacturing CPS
5. Configuration: The configuration level is the feedback from cyber space to physical space and acts as
supervisory control to make machines self-configure and self-adaptive.
This stage acts as resilience control system (RCS) to apply the corrective and preventive decisions, which
has been made in cognition level, to the monitored system.

Industrial Sensing & Actuation
• Sensor : provides IIoT data, Big data, analog/digital
• Intelligence in IoT is built on top of sensor data acquired
• Actuator: implement the result of intelligent processing of sensor data
• Sensing is required in the industry for:
Increasing degree of automation
Increase productivity
Improve quality
Improve safety
Reduce downtime
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 38
Industrial Sensing & Actuation
Industrial standard requirement differs from regular usage of sensors and actuators
Sensors need to be very highly reliable
Sensing and actuation need to be available at low cost
Sensors and actuators need to be perpetually connected to the network

06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 39
Industrial Sensing & Actuation
Conventional sensing requires sensors deployed in a feedback loop of a process in an
industrial control system
Actuation is based on the sensed values
Contemporary (sensing) requirement on sensors is very different
• Sensors are required to connect to the Internet
• They may be required to sense
• Product lifetime
• Safety
• Reliability
• Multiple parameters
• Smart Sensor: Definition of IEEE 1451 standard – “Sensor with small memory and
standardized physical connection to enable communication with the processor and data
network”

• When the modules are
connected, program and
parameter settings are stored
on the measuring module, then
copied to the wireless
communication module for
transmission
• The dual-module setup also
allows personnel to replace
batteries without taking the
process offline.
06-02-2023 MCT-201 MECHATRONICS 42
Industrial Sensing & Actuation
Sensors are also expected to be part of a network
Wireless sensor networks are being used for this purpose
• WSNs are becoming increasingly heterogeneous with mix of many types of sensors
• WSNs can use specific sensor types for multiple different applications
Example -a temperature sensor that can be flexibly used for environmental applications,
weather applications, and smart farming applications.
• The protocols governing the communication for WSNs must deal with the constrained
devices within them
• When selecting a communication protocol, need to take into account the trade-offs between
power consumption vs. maximum transmission
Speed vs. range
tolerance for packet loss, topology optimization, security, and so on.
06-02-2023 MCT-201 MECHATRONICS 43

circuit) (ADC) (DAC)
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 44
Industrial Sensing & Actuation
Smart sensors need to perform multiple functions
• Multisensing: sensor can sense multiple parameters such as temperature, pressure,
light, humidity at a single node
• Communicate data: sensors need to communicate vital information such as
measured data, calibration and compensation data to a central control unit
• A/D or D/A Conversion: sensor data may need to be converted from analog to
digital and vice-versa
• Self-Decision making: the sensor needs to be able to self-monitor its operation and
changes in the environment by compensating readings appropriately by itself, or by
alerting humans for manual action
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 45
Industrial Sensing & Actuation
To communicate with standard sensors, software libraries are necessary
Robust computing platform which can meet industry requirements are necessary
Linux-based systems provide higher reliability
But device interface support is generally poor in Linux
New software libraries such as MRAA and UPM provide low-level and high-level APIs
which make it easier to interface to industrial-grade sensors.
Sensor data is also processed more commonly with industrial-grade Programmable
Logic Controllers or PLC
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 46
Industrial Sensing & Actuation
Basic Structure\ Architecture of PLC
Consists of
1. Central processing Unit (CPU)
2. Memory- RAM & ROM
3. Input / Output interfaces
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 47
Industrial Sensing & Actuation
Industrial monitoring is made easier through technologies such as SCADA (Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition) and networks such as Wireless Sensing & Actuation
Network or WSAN
Industrial actuators can be electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electro-hydrostatic or
electro-pneumatic
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 48
Industrial Internet
Industrial Internet can be thought of in terms of the flow and interaction of data,
hardware, software and intelligence. Data is harvested from intelligent devices and
networks.
Three primary ways in which the physical world of machines, facilities, fleets and
networks can deeply merge with the digital world-
• Intelligent devices
• Advanced analytics
• Intelligent decisioning
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 49
Industrial Internet
Intelligent Devices
An important part of the implementation of the Industrial Internet will involve
determining which data remains resident on devices and which data is transferred
to remote locations for analysis and storage.
Determining the degree of local data residency is one of the keys to ensuring the
security of the Industrial Internet
Data flows provide a history of operations and performance that provides the
condition of the critical components of the plant.
Analytic tools can then compare this information to the operating histories of similar
components in other plants to provide reliable estimates of the likelihood and
timing of component failure
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 50
Industrial Internet
Advanced Analytics
Network Optimization
• In health care, assets can be linked to help doctors and nurses route patients to the
correct device more quickly.
• Information can then be seamlessly transmitted to care providers resulting in
shorter wait times, higher equipment utilization, and better quality care.
Maintenance Optimization
System Recovery
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 51
Industrial Internet
Intelligent Decision
This element of the Industrial Internet is essential to grapple with the increasing
complexity of interconnected machines, facilities, fleets and networks.
Operators need to quickly make thousands of decisions to maintain optimal system
performance. The challenges of this complexity can be overcome by enabling the
system to perform select operations with human consent.
The burden of complexity is transferred to the digital system. For example, within
an intelligent system, signals to increase the output of a dispatchable power plant will
be directly co-dispatched to flexible plants in response to variable resources like wind
and solar power, changes in electricity demand.

Industrial Internet- Benefits to Industrial economy
Industrial sectors-
• Heavy Industries
• Transportation sector
• Government Services
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 53
Industrial Internet- Benefits to Industrial economy
Heavy Industries
Within the industrial sector, the heaviest energy consumers are the steel and metals
industries and the petrochemical industry.
Heavy industries represent about 50 percent of the industrial energy consumed.
Recent studies indicated that if best practice technologies are deployed, heavy industry
energy consumption could be reduced by 15 to 20 percent.
The continued and expanded Industrial Internet deployment can support this effort
through process integration, life-cycle optimization, and more efficient utilization and
maintenance of equipment
06-02-2023 MCT306- Industry 4.0 & IIOT 54
Industrial Internet- Benefits to Industrial economy
Transportation sector
Using information technology and networked devices and systems to optimize transport
appears to be one of the most exciting opportunities from the Industrial Internet.
The global transportation services sector including land, air, marine, pipelines,
telecommunications and supporting logistics services, represent about 7 percent of global
economic activity.
In commercial transport services like passenger aircraft, there are opportunities for
optimizing operations and assets while improving service and safety.
Fuel consumption optimization of fleet of Heavy-duty vehicles with wind and traffic
information
Assuming most of the large fleets and a portion of the light duty vehicle fleets can benefit,
perhaps 14 percent of global transportation fuel demand can be impacted by Industrial
Internet technologies.
