LabVIEW and Embedded System based New IoT Solution for Industrial applications

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming increasingly popular around the world. Efficiency in terms of time and cost is ensured in all sectors, thanks to the internet of things technology. A novel IoT system design was created in this study to add Internet of Things technology to a new perspective. All clients can connect to the server using this IoT platform, regardless of their hardware or software capabilities, even if they are not capable of industrial communication. The platform brings flexibility and ease of use to IoTapplications. Thanks to the platform's architecture, any device, whether inputs or outputs, can be easily added to an IoT network while it is running using the developed modules. The server software was created using the LabVIEW visual programming language and Raspberry Pi and MSP340F5529 embedded systems are used to develop hardware modules. To provide IoT data security, the TCP/IP protocol is used for data communication, and all data is encrypted using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm with a 128-bit key. A dynamic 1-N server-client IoT system has been implemented and tested with various analog, digital, and smart sensors, as well as smart devices. When the results are evaluated, it is found that industrial applications can be developed with the platform. Particularly in the case of transformation of industrial automation applications to IoT containing non-smart sensor and actuators, the developed platform can be preferred. In this case, the platform will bring opportunities to engineers in terms of cost and ease of development phase.
