Learning Path - IT Professionals

Target Audience

IT professionals managing industrial systems integration, cybersecurity, databases, and enterprise connectivity in IT/OT convergence environments.

Learning Objectives

• Implement secure authentication systems
• Integrate with enterprise databases
• Deploy web-based solutions
• Configure REST APIs and web services
• Establish cybersecurity best practices

Week 1: Foundation

Day 1-2: Database Integration

Production Database Schema

CREATE TABLE ProductionData (
    ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
    Timestamp DATETIME NOT NULL,
    ProductCode VARCHAR(50),
    Quantity INT,
    Quality FLOAT,
    LineID INT,
    OperatorID VARCHAR(50)
);

CREATE TABLE BatchRecords (
    BatchID VARCHAR(50) PRIMARY KEY,
    StartTime DATETIME,
    EndTime DATETIME,
    Recipe VARCHAR(100),
    Status VARCHAR(20)
);

Exercise: Configure Database Connection

1. Navigate to Datasets → Connections
2. Add SQL Server connection:
   • Server: SQLServer01
   • Database: Production
   • Authentication: Windows
   • Pool Size: 10

3. Create real-time query:

   Code Block
   language sql
   SELECT TOP 100 * FROM ProductionData WHERE Timestamp > DATEADD(hour, -1, GETDATE()) ORDER BY Timestamp DESC

   
   

4. Test connection and verify data retrieval

Day 3-4: Web Deployment

Web Server Configuration

Component	Configuration
IIS Setup	Install IIS with WebSocket support
Application Pool	Configure .NET CLR version
SSL Certificate	Install and bind certificate
FrameworX Web	Enable web server, set ports
Authentication	Configure Windows/Forms auth
Client URL	https://server/frameworkxImage Modified

Lab: Deploy Secure Web Access

1. Generate SSL certificate
2. Configure HTTPS binding on port 443
3. Enable Windows authentication
4. Set up application pool:
   • .NET CLR Version: v4.0
   • Identity: ApplicationPoolIdentity
   • Recycling: Daily at 3 AM
5. Test from remote browser
6. Monitor performance metrics

Day 5: Security Implementation

Security Architecture Layers

Security Configuration Checklist

1. Network segmentation implemented
2. Firewalls configured
3. SSL certificates installed
4. Active Directory integrated
5. Role-based access configured
6. Audit logging enabled
7. Backup strategy implemented
8. Disaster recovery tested

Week 2: Advanced Topics

Day 1-2: Enterprise Integration

REST API Configuration

const apiConfig = {
    baseURL: 'https://frameworkx-server/api',
    endpoints: {
        tags: '/tags',
        alarms: '/alarms',
        historical: '/historian'
    },
    authentication: {
        type: 'Bearer',
        token: 'your-api-token'
    }
};

// GET current tag values
async function getTagValues(tagNames) {
    const response = await fetch(`${apiConfig.baseURL}/tags`, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiConfig.authentication.token}`,
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({ tags: tagNames })
    });
    return response.json();
}

Exercise: Create ERP Integration

1. Design data exchange schema
2. Configure REST endpoints:
   • GET /api/production/current
   • POST /api/production/batch
   • GET /api/quality/metrics
3. Implement OAuth 2.0 authentication
4. Schedule data synchronization (every 15 minutes)
5. Add error handling and retry logic

Day 3-4: Cloud Deployment

Docker Deployment Configuration

version: '3.8'
services:
  frameworkx:
    image: frameworkx:10.1
    ports:
      - "9000:9000"
      - "443:443"
    environment:
      - DB_CONNECTION=Server=azure-sql.database.windows.net
      - STORAGE_ACCOUNT=https://storage.blob.core.windows.net
      - IOT_HUB=frameworkx-hub.azure-devices.net
    volumes:
      - ./config:/app/config
      - ./data:/app/data

Day 5: Performance Monitoring

System Monitoring Script

$server = "FrameworX-Server"
$metrics = @{
    CPU = (Get-Counter "\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time").CounterSamples.CookedValue
    Memory = (Get-Counter "\Memory\Available MBytes").CounterSamples.CookedValue
    Disk = (Get-Counter "\PhysicalDisk(_Total)\% Disk Time").CounterSamples.CookedValue
    Network = (Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Total/sec").CounterSamples.CookedValue
}

# Send to monitoring system
Send-MetricsToSplunk -Server $server -Metrics $metrics
