| Abstract | ||
| In this paper, we designed a practical Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) system for the regions of the world that suffer from low-quality Internet Service Providers. The developed system depends on the duplication and sending of the same stream of data simultaneously through dual communication links between the OPC UA (Open Platform Communications United Architecture) server and a remote OPC UA client. This method can improve the designed system's availability and reliability. Six analog tags are monitored and controlled simultaneously through the remote OPC UA client with a scan rate of 100 ms at both the server and the client sides. A secure and reliable data transfer has been done, using 256-bit AES to encrypt the analog tags. The results show a significant improvement in the availability and reliability of the designed system when using dual communication links to send the same data simultaneously. | ||
