Industrial automation is becoming increasingly software-driven, and Raspberry Pi has emerged as a powerful platform for developing flexible, connected, and cost-effective control systems. This book explores modern industrial programming using Python, Node-RED, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, MQTT, RS485, industrial networking, data logging, dashboards, and real-world communication architectures. Designed with long-term relevance in mind, it focuses on engineering principles and proven implementation practices that remain valuable as industrial technologies continue to evolve.

Written as a professional engineering guide rather than a collection of disconnected tutorials, this book combines software engineering best practices with practical industrial automation techniques. It emphasizes reliability, maintainability, cybersecurity, fault tolerance, structured application design, industrial communication, and production-ready deployment, giving readers the knowledge needed to build dependable automation software for real-world environments.

Whether you are developing industrial monitoring applications, building machine control software, integrating field devices, or creating connected automation systems, this book provides a structured learning path from foundational programming concepts to complete industrial applications. You'll learn how to build scalable Python projects, communicate with industrial devices, design Node-RED dashboards, implement reliable messaging systems, collect and analyze operational data, and develop maintainable automation software using modern engineering practices.

What's Inside:

Industrial software architecture and automation programming principles
Python programming for industrial control applications
Digital and analog I/O programming
RS485 serial communications and Modbus RTU
Modbus TCP for Ethernet-based automation
MQTT messaging for Industrial IoT systems
Node-RED workflows and interactive dashboards
Industrial networking fundamentals
Data acquisition, validation, logging, and reporting
Database integration and historical trend analysis
Industrial cybersecurity fundamentals
Error handling, diagnostics, testing, and fault recovery
Production-ready software design and deployment
Real-world industrial automation programming projects

This book is ideal for industrial automation engineers, controls engineers, PLC programmers, software developers, Industrial IoT professionals, systems integrators, electrical engineers, Raspberry Pi developers, engineering students, technical educators, and makers who want to build reliable industrial automation applications using modern programming tools and open technologies.

Software continues to transform manufacturing, process automation, smart factories, industrial networking, and connected operations. The programming skills taught in this book are applicable across industries and provide a solid foundation for Industrial IoT, edge computing, data acquisition, industrial communication, and future automation technologies, making this a valuable long-term reference rather than a short-lived technology guide.

If you're ready to advance from basic scripting to professional industrial automation software development, Programming Industrial Automation with Raspberry Pi 5 provides the practical knowledge, engineering insight, and real-world examples you need. Start building reliable, maintainable, and scalable industrial control systems with confidence using Python, Node-RED, Modbus, MQTT, RS485, and modern industrial networking techniques.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
