This course introduces the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in the context of converged information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems for industrial automation. Students are introduced to data acquisition, industrial networking, and cybersecurity as core elements of IIoT integration. Topics include the design and analysis of hardware, architectures, and communication protocols, as well as the application of industry standards and reference models. Emphasis is placed on secure system implementation, including host-level and network-level controls, to ensure reliable and resilient operation of IIoT devices in modern industrial environments.
Learning Outcomes1Explain the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the roles of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) in supporting industrial data acquisition.
2Design integrated industrial networks that enable reliable data acquisition and connectivity for IIoT applications.
3Configure host-level and network-level security controls to protect data, devices, and infrastructures within IT and OT systems.
4Apply industry standards and reference architectures to guide the secure deployment, operation, and data management of IIoT devices in industrial environments.
