Abstract
A process for integrating an industrial automation system with an Internet of Things (IoT) system may include providing access to a cloud-based platform, the cloud-based platform having a user interface. The user interface provides for easily displaying and changing configuration parameters describing a gateway module, a data acquisition module, and a sensor data channel associated with an industrial automation system wherein the data acquisition module can collect and process data from the sensor data channel and communicate that sensor data and any related processed information to a gateway module. The gateway module may also communicate configuration information to the data acquisition module and sensor data channel. The process may use the cloud-based platform to generate a memory map of the IoT system which can be used by a PLC or similar device of the industrial automation system to configure the IoT system and display data collected from the IoT system.
