SIMATIC IOT2000

Be ahead of the curve in education

The Internet of Things is changing the world.  Siemens‘ answer: SIMATIC IOT2000. With SIMATIC IOT2020 and IOT2040 products, Siemens offers a solution for open source applications for education – with SIMATIC quality for 24/7 operation. You benefit from the open, expandable hardware (PCIe- and Arduino Uno R3-compatible interface), the Linux based operating system (Yocto V2.x) and with the optional IOT2000EDU Software Controller for TIA portal programming.

No matter your branch of study:

• Electrical-, automation-, process engineering
• Computer science
• Civil engineering
• Mechanical engineering
• Mechatronics
• Robotics or 
• Embedded systems

SIMATIC IOT2000 is the right open IOT platform for:

• Technical high schools
• Vocational/engineering schools
• Community colleges 
• In-house vocational training departments
• Technical colleges/universities
• R&D institutions

Because IOT2000 covers a wide range of education subjects, such as:

• Micro controllers
• Software
• High-level languages
• Cloud connection
• Manage machine and production data

"Be ahead of the curve and prepare yourself for the larger disruptive innovations taking place in education and industry with our new open source platform ecosystem."

The highlight:

With the SIMATIC IOT2000EDU Software Controller, executable on IOT2020 and IOT2040, can now also be programmed with TIA Portal V15 or higher.

IOT2020 or IOT2040 enables students to gain hands-on experiences at the beginning of their studies as well as afterwards in challenging projects, e.g.:

• in sensor and control technology applications with high-level programming, such as C/C++, Python, Java, Json, Node.js/Node-RED

• and now also TIA Portal programming with IOT2000EDU

IOT2020/2040 is based on the Intel Quark® x1000/x1020-CPU, the Yocto Linux open source operating system and a Software Development Kit (SDK) from Siemens for implementation of projects in high-level languages.

Below you will find a simplified short guide for setting up your IOT2020 or IOT2040.

  1. Provide needed hardware and install the "Win32 disc imager, Eclipse" software on the PC.
  2. Install IO-Shield for connection of external signals.
  3. Insert MicroSD card in the PC. It is designated for the operating system and provides space for programs and data.
  4. Save Yocto Linux  SD Card example image to the SD card and insert in the IOT2000. It contains the ready-to-use Linux operating system with runtime environment for all supported programming languages.

Use the following guide to perform steps 1-4:

Setting up the SIMATIC IOT2000.

The SIMATIC IOT2000 is the reliable open platform for collecting, processing and transferring data in the production environment.  It is ideally suited as gateway between the cloud or the company IT level and production. 

As part of Industry 4.0, networking of production and office IT continues to expand. Production data is collected and evaluated in the cloud to optimize production. Networking of existing plants is a major challenge in this regard, because the machines from different manufacturers and on different technological levels often do not speak the same data language. The solution is often time-consuming and complex retrofitting in these situations

There have been many questions about what the IOT2020 and IOT2040 are for, what is their intended use etc. Are they a gateway, an Edge Device, Something Else?, how do they fit into the Industrial Internet of things? This video should answer that question.

In this tutorial I will show you how to program a SIMATIC IOT2000 with Arduino IDE.

I have had a chance to look at the new firmware for the SIMATIC IOT2000 series gateways from Siemens, there were a few bugs in V2.1.2 so I was looking forward to seeing if these had been resolved and also if the final requested ap was included. Namely Mosquitto, an MQTT Broker. The new firmware should be available in the next few days from the Siemens support site. I used a Sandisk Ultra 64GB SD card that has 80MB/Sec read and write, it gave excellent performance under normal operation. I did not test everything, I just looked to the bug fixes and new apps and gave a quick run through using Node-Red with GPIO and Serial comms.

Das neue IOT2020 der Fa. Siemens ist ab sofort exklusiv bei RS-Components verfügbar: rs-online.com. Dieses preisgünstige Modul basiert auf dem Intel Galileo Board und läuft unter dem Betriebssystem Linux, welches von einer SD-Speicherkarte gestartet wird. Das IOT2020 ist in großen Teilen anschlusskompatibel zum Arduino und kann u. a. aus der gewohnten Arduino-Entwicklungsumgebung programmiert werden. Dem Einsatz zur Steuerung unserer virtuellen Anlagenmodelle für den Arduino steht daher nichts im Wege. Unser Video erläutert die Vorgehensweise Schritt für Schritt.

Massimo Banzi shows how easy it is to build an industrial application based on Siemens IOT2020 thanks to its Arduino compatibility.

The last few days are going for a chance to win an IOT2020 Starter kit, all you need to do is submit an idea for a chance.

I have just just launched a contest on Hackster.io: 
hackster.io/contests/IOT2020

In this video I will show you how to get an Arduino Relay Shield above the case for easy access to the connections.

The SIMATIC IOT2020 is an open platform for collecting, processing and transferring data in the production environment. Targeted at education, hobbyist and design engineers, this unit is compatible with Arduino Hardware and Sketch and runs Linux OS.

In the last video we took a brief look at the Siemens IOT2020, here we will take the covers off and look inside.

You have your SIMATIC IOT2020 from RS Components, but how do you get your Linux OS up and running on your network? It defaults to 192.168.200.1 and this may not be your network range!

Time to install some software to allow us to build a real open source industrial gateway.

Time to see if the stated Arduino IDE and Sketch compatability is true.
