加快您的物联网设计工业自动化解决方案
嵌入式微控制器为基础的工业自动化设备和控制器的开发周期变化不大，直到最近。努力拥抱物联网产业的商业优势（IIoT）提供了许多设备制造商转变发展方式。不同于消费市场，通常的生产量可以规定一个更高层次的集成到设计，以实现较低的BOM成本，相对较低的体积，一些工业控制器和传感器的挑战设计团队。在可能的情况下，许多制造商已经建立了一个平台的方法，他们的嵌入式控制器设计与一系列插件的女儿板，以提供可扩展的I / O功能。虽然这符合控制器方面的设计，满足传感器和执行器的军队的连接需求是困难的。
However， over the past five years or so we have experienced a huge growth in extremely compact embedded microcontroller devices. Driven iniTIally from the maker community， these boards are now starTIng to become more established inside low volume industrial designs due to their ease of use and low price point. Not only are such boards extremely price compeTITIve when compared to designing your own controller from scratch， but the most popular ones have a huge community of users offering access to informative hardware and software support along with code snippets and design ideas. In the last couple of years， the rate of adoption of embedded boards has ramped even more with the availability of cloud-based portals from some of the leaders in the enterprise IT and cloud computing markets. Offering scalable data storage， analysis and control infrastructure， these organizations are well positioned to rapidly respond to the gathering data storm coming from the millions of IIoT sensors. At the edge of the connected IIoT world， these sensors require little in the way of computing resources but need to be extremely compact and consume little power.
