IIoT integration with SCADA in SCADA systems - Mini Project: Build & Apply

IIoT Integration with SCADA

📖 Scenario: You work in a factory that uses a SCADA system to monitor machines. Now, you want to add IIoT sensors to collect temperature data from machines and integrate this data into the SCADA system for real-time monitoring.

🎯 Goal: Build a simple program that stores machine temperature readings from IIoT sensors, sets a temperature alert threshold, filters machines exceeding the threshold, and displays the alert list for SCADA monitoring.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a dictionary with machine IDs and their temperature readings

Add a temperature threshold variable for alerts

Filter machines with temperature above the threshold using a dictionary comprehension

Print the filtered alert dictionary showing machines exceeding the threshold

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Factories use IIoT sensors to collect machine data and SCADA systems to monitor and control operations in real time.

💼 Career

Understanding how to integrate IIoT data into SCADA helps in roles like industrial automation engineer, DevOps for manufacturing, and system integrator.

1

Create machine temperature data

Create a dictionary called machine_temps with these exact entries: 'M1': 75, 'M2': 82, 'M3': 68, 'M4': 90, 'M5': 77

SCADA systems

# Create the machine_temps dictionary with given machine IDs and temperatures
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use curly braces to create a dictionary with keys as machine IDs and values as temperatures.

2

Set temperature alert threshold

Create a variable called temp_threshold and set it to 80 to represent the temperature limit for alerts

SCADA systems

machine_temps = {'M1': 75, 'M2': 82, 'M3': 68, 'M4': 90, 'M5': 77}
# Set the temperature alert threshold
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Just assign the number 80 to the variable named temp_threshold.

3

Filter machines exceeding threshold

Use a dictionary comprehension to create a new dictionary called alert_machines that includes only machines from machine_temps with temperature greater than temp_threshold. Use machine and temp as the loop variables.

SCADA systems

machine_temps = {'M1': 75, 'M2': 82, 'M3': 68, 'M4': 90, 'M5': 77}
temp_threshold = 80
# Create alert_machines dictionary with machines having temp > temp_threshold
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use {machine: temp for machine, temp in machine_temps.items() if temp > temp_threshold} to filter.

4

Display alert machines

Write a print statement to display the alert_machines dictionary

SCADA systems

machine_temps = {'M1': 75, 'M2': 82, 'M3': 68, 'M4': 90, 'M5': 77}
temp_threshold = 80
alert_machines = {machine: temp for machine, temp in machine_temps.items() if temp > temp_threshold}
# Print the alert_machines dictionary
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use print(alert_machines) to show the machines with high temperature.
