Internet of Things (IOT)

IOT Training course observes iot as the platform for networking of different devices on the internet and their inter related communication. Reading data through the sensors and processing it with applications sitting in the cloud and thereafter passing the processed data to generate different kind of output is the motive of the complete curricula. Students are made to understand the type of input devices and communications among the devices in a wireless media.

Business Rule Generation for IoT

3 layered architecture of Big Data — Physical (Sensors), Communication , and Data Intelligence

Introduction of IoT: All about Sensors – Electronics

Basic function and architecture of a sensor — sensor body, sensor mechanism, sensor calibration, sensor maintenance, cost and pricing structure, legacy and modern sensor network — all the basics about the sensors

Development of sensor electronics — IoT vs legacy, and open source vs traditional PCB design style

Development of sensor communication protocols — history to modern days. Legacy protocols like

Modbus, relay, HART to modern day Zigbee, Zwave, X10,Bluetooth, ANT, etc.

Business driver for sensor deployment — FDA/EPA regulation, fraud/tempering detection, supervision, quality control and process management

Different Kind of Calibration Techniques — manual, automation, infield, primary and secondary calibration — and their implication in IoT

Powering options for sensors — battery, solar, Witricity, Mobile and PoE

Hands on training with single silicon and other sensors like temperature, pressure, vibration, magnetic field, power factor etc.

Fundamental of M2M communication — Sensor Network and Wireless protocol

What is a sensor network? What is ad-hoc network?

Wireless vs. Wireline network

WiFi- 802.11 families: N to S — application of standards and common vendors.

Zigbee and Zwave — advantage of low power mesh networking. Long distance Zigbee. Introduction to different Zigbee chips.

Bluetooth/BLE: Low power vs high power, speed of detection, class of BLE. Introduction of Bluetooth vendors & their review.

Creating network with Wireless protocols such as Piconet by BLE

Protocol stacks and packet structure for BLE and Zigbee
