Oussama — Reading & Working Notes

OT working file. Capture: protocol/vendor coverage gaps, plant-floor realities the auto simulator doesn’t model, IT/OT segmentation patterns you’ve seen, anything you’d want a field engineer to know before walking into a Moroccan plant.

  • ISA-95 5 levels — fluent
  • UNS vs point-to-point — defensible in a customer room
  • MQTT QoS 1 vs 2 — when each in a plant
  • Sparkplug B Birth Certificate — what + why
  • OEE formula + data sources
  • CNDP — what hosting/data flow rules apply

Auto sector pack — running observations

(Build the audit at Sector Pack Audits/auto-2026-05 from these.)

  • Topic namespace: match against Morocco UNS auto overlay? …
  • Protocol coverage: S7, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, Modbus TCP — which present, which missing?
  • Sparkplug B compliance: Birth/Death/Data — implemented correctly?
  • Field-readiness gaps:

Things the auto simulator doesn’t model
