Abstract: An industrial device data access adapter allows migration of operational technology (OT) data to a cloud platform to be executed and managed using the same cloud infrastructure used to manage migration of information technology (IT) data. The adapter is designed to be installed and executed as a containerized module on an IoT edge system or device. The adapter interfaces with industrial devices to collect data using native OT data format and communication protocols, and leverages the existing software framework of the IoT edge system—including data broker services and module management services—to move this data to a cloud platform. Since the adapter is designed to interface with the native framework of the IoT edge system on which the adapter executes, the adapter can be managed using through the existing IoT infrastructure of the cloud provider.

Abstract: Industrial devices and edge compute platforms are configured to synchronize their internal clocks to provide a common sense of time across application and data acquisition tasks, thereby allowing for an inherent common understanding of time across the devices and data sets. The industrial devices can synchronize their internal clocks using Precision Time Protocol (PTP) or IEEE 802.1AS synchronization. The accurate time stamping achieved by this synchronization can yield more accurate analysis of data sets acquired from multiple devices, and greater fidelity and synchronization between a digital twin of an automation system and the physical system represented by the digital twin.
