The simplicity of Arduino combined with the reliability and history of Siemens makes the SIMATIC IOT2000 series a perfect choice for an industrial gateway in factories and institutions exploring connectivity and retrofitting options. New sensors on old machines or simply upgrading the sensors currently in use, the SIMATIC IOT2000 series harmonizes, analyzes, and forwards data efficiently with common protocols like MQTT and Modbus. Based on a Yocto Linux, the SIMATIC IOT2000 series includes the IoT2020 and IoT2040 models which are compatible with most Arduino Sketches and can be uploaded directly from the Arduino IDE. The IOT2040 is ideal for factories while the IOT2020 is best in educational institutions with its additional peripherals and communication protocols.The below tutorial demonstrates how to setup the SIMATIC IOT2000 series using the Arduino IDE and a sample code to send an HTTP request to Ubidots for front-end interpretation.
