Center for IoT, Sensor and Instrumentation Engineering

About

The research center aims to identify and initiate foundational multi-disciplinary research and applied research projects, create and combine patentable Intellectual Property (IP) components, design and develop prototypes, manage and market products and solutions (through know-how transferred incubated companies), and work to deliver funded research projects.

Center for IoT, Sensor and Instrumentation Engineering is actively involved in theoretical and applied research in the broad areas of Wireless networks (Sensor, adhoc and cellular), Signal Processing, Virtual instrumentation and IoT. The centre provides an umbrella environment for faculty, under graduate and post graduate students to carry out research in various aspects related to the respective fields.

The primary functions of the research centre are to

• Provide excellent research culture and infrastructure.
• Serve as a platform for strong interdisciplinary collaborations and knowledge sharing. Publish papers in high quality journals of international repute.
• Create quality human resources for scientific research.
• Promote industrial collaborations involving active and mutually beneficial R & D projects.
• Understanding of technology transfer processes and practices that lead to successful commercialization.

Major Equipment

NI ELVIS II PROTOTYPING BOARD

The NI ELVIS II prototyping board is an incredibly useful tool to test your circuits before you go through all the work of soldering. The board contains a breadboard and channels where you can use a multitude of tools on a computer to test your circuit.

NI ELVIS III COMMUNICATIONS BOARD

It provides hands-on experiments that develop a comprehensive understanding of advanced analog and digital telecommunication principles. Teaching resource topics include AM and FM modulation or demodulation, ASK, FSK, and QPSK.

NI LabVIEW

LabVIEW is an integrated development environment designed specifically for engineers and scientists building measurement and control systems. With a native graphical programming language, built-in IP for data analysis and signal processing, and an open architecture that enables integration of any hardware device and any software approach, LabVIEW is the software you need to build the optimal solution that can meet your custom requirements and solve the challenges at hand.

my DAQ and my RIO

NI myDAQ is a low-cost portable data acquisition (DAQ) device that uses NI LabVIEW-based software instruments, allowing students to measure and analyze real-world signals.

NI myDAQ is ideal for exploring electronics and taking sensor measurements, Combined with NI LabVIEW on the PC, students can analyze and process acquired signals and control

myRIO provides educators with an embedded, WiFi-enabled solution to deliver an engaging approach to learning controls, investigating mechatronics, and designing imaginative creative projects.

The myRIO student embedded device features I/O on both sides of the device in the form of MXP and MSP connectors. It includes analog inputs, analog outputs, digital I/O lines, LEDs, a push button, an onboard accelerometer, a Xilinx FPGA, and a dual‐core ARM Cortex‐A9 processor. Some models also include Wi-Fi support. We can program the myRIO student embedded device with LabVIEW or C. With its onboard devices, seamless software experience, and library of courseware and tutorials, the myRIO student embedded device provides an affordable tool for students and educators.

INTERNET of THINGS (IOT)

Internet of Things (IoT) is simply the network of interconnected things/devices which are embedded with sensors, software, network connectivity and necessary electronics that enables them to collect and exchange data making them responsive. Knowledge on internet of things and how important it is in present scenario. IoT is a connecting bridge between physical world and cyber world and Machine to Machine communication i.e. with automation as one subset. IoT refers to uniquely identifiable objects and their virtual representations in an Internet like structure. Measurement of various electrical quantities and functioning of induction motor in the case of over voltage, current is using Arduino. Design a relay to protect the home appliances from over currents, under voltages and over voltages.
