Industrial Internet of Things - Level 1 (Gateway Network Layer dengan Raspberry / Orange Pi)

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to setting up an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) gateway using Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi. You'll learn how to install the necessary operating system, configure your device, and establish connectivity. This setup is essential for building your IIoT system and will help you connect various industrial devices efficiently.

Step 1: Download and Install the Operating System

• Choose your device: Decide whether you will use Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi.
• Download the OS:
  • For Raspberry Pi, download Raspbian from here.
  • For Orange Pi, download Debian from here.
• Install SD Memory Card Formatter: Download it from here to format the SD card.

Step 2: Process Image OS to SD Memory Card

• Insert the SD card into your computer.
• Format the SD card using the SD Memory Card Formatter.
• Use Win32 Disk Imager to write the OS image to the SD card:
  • Download Win32 Disk Imager from here.
  • Open Win32 Disk Imager, select the OS image file, and choose the SD card drive.
  • Click on “Write” to transfer the OS to the SD card.

Step 3: Setup Configuration for Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi

• Insert the SD card into your Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi.
• Power on the device and wait for it to boot up.
• Connect to a monitor and keyboard for initial setup.

Step 4: Configure Network Interfaces

• Connect to WiFi:
  • Navigate to the network settings in the OS and select your WiFi network.
  • Enter the WiFi password to connect.
• Set up Ethernet connection:
  • Connect an Ethernet cable from your device to your router.
  • Check the network settings to ensure the Ethernet connection is active.

Step 5: Setup Remote Access

• Install VNC Viewer to access your Pi remotely:
  • Download VNC Viewer from here.
  • Follow the installation prompts and set up a VNC connection to your device.
• Use PuTTY for SSH access:
  • Download PuTTY from here.
  • Open PuTTY, enter the IP address of your device, and connect.

Step 6: Check Connectivity Between PLC and Raspberry or Orange Pi

• Verify connection:
  • Use command line tools to ping the PLC from your device.
  • Ensure that the devices can communicate over the network.

Conclusion

You have successfully set up a gateway for your Industrial Internet of Things system using Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi. Key steps included downloading the operating system, configuring network settings, and setting up remote access. As a next step, consider exploring how to integrate sensors or other devices into your IIoT system to further enhance its capabilities.
