== Implementation ==
The implementation is suitable for a production environment. Unlike what we did for [[MISC-TN-021: SBCSPG and ThingsBoard IoT|this TN]], in this case the ThingsBoard IoT platform was installed on the cloud, specifically on a AWS EC2 instance running Ubuntu Linux. The following diagram shows the complete solution.

Technically, the gateway can communicate with the ATE using different physical links and protocols. In the example under discussion, the physical link is Ethernet and the protocol is Modbus/TCP. The gateway retrieves periodically some data regarding the robotic arm used to move the device under test (DUT). These data are exposed by the PLC governing the arm and are documented in detail [https://www.universal-robots.com/articles/ur/interface-communication/modbus-server/ here].
=== ThingsBoard IoT configuration ===
To install ThingsBoard IoT platform on an EC2 instance, [https://thingsboard.io/docs/user-guide/install/cluster/aws-self-hosted-setup/ these instructions] were followed.
