18- Siemens IoT2050 IoT Gateway Tutorial: Running a Python Dashboard for Industrial IoT

Single board computers (SBCs) such as Raspberry Pi are low cost and perfect for learning and making a prototype. But they are not designed for industrial applications. As you may already know, there are some industrial alternatives for Raspberry Pi which are designed and tested for industrial environments. Siemens IoT2040 and its successor, the IoT2050, IoT Gateways are two examples.
In this new practical video, we will go though the technical specs of IoT2040 and IoT2050 and then we will take you through the process of setting up and utilizing an IoT2050 for your industrial IoT projects. But that's not all! We take it a step further by demonstrating how to leverage the power of the IoT2050 by running a Python program. Watch as we showcase a practical demo program that utilizes the device's capabilities to create an interactive and customizable dashboard for your Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) data.
Whether you're a hobbyist, an industrial professional, or simply interested in the world of IoT, this video is packed with valuable insights and hands-on demonstrations that will help you harness the potential of Siemens IoT2050 IoT Gateway. Don't miss out on this opportunity to unlock the possibilities of industrial IoT with Siemens. Join us for an exciting journey into the future of automation!

Excellent content as always

[@PersecutedPursuer]

Thanks for that, Sir!

[@user-si6vo6vq9m]

thanks for the excellent content. Is it possible to have Python demo project?

[@blociot]

Thank you for your feedback. Please send me a message on Linkedin. I can surely send it to you if I find it.

[@luisreyes783]

what an excellent video friend, one question, what is the command to install the python library?

[@blociot]

Thank you Luis. You can install Pyhon by "apt install python3" command. Make sure you run "apt update" and "apt upgrade" before that.

Hi blociot! Hope you are well. Can you please help me to receive serial input on Node-RED for IoT2050? I have a USB RFID reader plugged into the IoT2050 and cant get it to read input on Node Red

[@blociot]

Hi Petrus. I'd suggest testing your RFID on a terminal to make sure it gives oit the data and then try it in Node Red. You can use any serial terminal in Windows or Linux. Make sure your serial settings are correct (e.g. baudrate, etc.) Then you canbise node red seria In node to read the buffer. I prefer Python over Node Red.

Does it connect through ssh without putty, if we use wsl?

[@blociot]

Never tried with WSL, but it should work. This device runs a Debian distro so if theere is no limitations on the WSL side, it will work.
