Answered my own question:
Information Technology (IT): “The entire spectrum of technologies for information processing, including software, hardware, communications technologies and related services. In general, IT does not include embedded technologies that do not generate data for enterprise use.”
Operational Technology (OT): “Is hardware and software that detects or causes a change through the direct monitoring and/or control of physical devices, processes and events in the enterprise.”

So basically OT is IoT and embedded devices, and IT is everything else on your network.
- csours 7y agoYes, think of OT as the device that connects sensors to actions: When this limit switch is tripped, that servo is activated. You may also want to know how many times each switch is activated, and the status of the servo, so the information gets sent over to IT for logging and display in a HMI.
