18. Different People Different Needs
Oh no! I have to learn Java and OSGi!
How can I build my PoC very easily using Eclipse Kura?
Eclipse Kura seems powerful for my PoC

19. Solution Approach ... Dataflow Programming … Nodes -
Application Logic is expressed as a directed graph
Nodes -
have inputs and/or outputs
produce outputs
consume inputs
abstract underlying logics
highly reusable and portable

20. Our Solution Eases developers task -
without sacrificing much flexibility
raises the abstraction level
application logic is simplified to node connections
extensible

22. Terminologies - Wire Graph
Kura Wires Dataflow Graph known as Wire Graph

23. Terminologies - Wire Component
Each node in the Wire Graph is a Wire Component

24. Terminologies - Wire Component
Wire Component can be a producer of data and/or a consumer of data
0..n
0..n
Wire Component
0..n Inputs to a Wire Component
0..n Outputs from a Wire Component
Wire Components don’t need to have context specific knowledge about each other

25. Terminologies - Asset Kura Asset Model
Kura Wires
Asset
Driver
Assets are special types of Wire Components that interact with transducers
For example, Modbus PLC, S7 PLC or OPC-UA PLC etc.
Device Driver

26. Terminologies - Wire
Logical connections between the Wire Components are known as Wires

27. Terminologies - Wire Envelope
Abstract data format decoupling Wire Components to have context specific knowledge

28. Preliminary Wire Components and Drivers

30. An IIoT Use Case
A newly installed part of a plant based on Modicon PLC running Modbus RTU, connected to an Industrial Service Gateway and pushing data to Cloud instance
Control operator intends to monitor the Modbus Device connected sensors’
data and change the statuses of the connected actuators using a dashboard
