Abstract
Various systems and methods may be used to implement a software defined industrial system. For example, an edge control node of the industrial system may include a system on a chip including a microcontroller (MCU) to convert IO data. The system on a chip includes a central processing unit (CPU) in an initial inactive state to receive an activation signal from, for example, an orchestration server, and change to an activated state in response to receiving the activation signal.
