Once you secure the data, you can do anything you want with it. Answer the following questions to select hardware used in the field:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What are you trying to measure or control?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What does the device in the field need to be able to do on its own? How complex?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many devices do you anticipate on deploying?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you the end-user and maintainer of this equipment, or are you selling a solution (operated and maintained by others)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What does new device provisioning look like? (the ideal process)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How will this device be powered?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.dmcinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/27161818\/IIOT-Process-Step-One-Chart.png\" alt=\"Step One\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind, the software platform is determined by hardware selection. For example, when you pick a particular PLC, you have to use the manufacturer&#8217;s&nbsp;software to program it. For an embedded device this will be C++, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Device Hardware: Selecting the Right Parts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say the average PLC costs $1,000, so every time you put one out in the field, that is another $1,000 of hard costs. PLCs are great for&nbsp;some things while NI has developed expert tech for other uses. DMC engineers can leverage experience from hundreds&nbsp;of completed projects to&nbsp;advise on making the best choice for each project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.dmcinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/27161817\/Device-Hardware-Selecting-the-right-parts-graphic.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>0-10 Devices<\/strong> \u2013 Small Deployments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10-100 Devices <\/strong>\u2013 Larger Deployment, off the shelf products, but start to have cost-optimized decisions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>100-1000+ Devices<\/strong> &#8211; Discuss an embedded solution because the hardware starts to get expensive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-two-determine-communications\"><a id=\"Step Two: Determine Communications\" name=\"Step Two: Determine Communications\"><\/a>Step Two: Determine Communications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After determining your device platform, deciding how your networking devices are configured is key.
