Sensor Data Acquisition

Sysnopsys

With the fourth industry revolution (IR 4.0) now on the horizon, IoT is one major building block towards industry 4.0. This points toward intelligent, networked systems where previously separated production environments are combined to produce universal production worlds. This course walks the participants through the sensor data acquisition of the IoT workflow development.
 

The course is illustrated with theory as well as real world application example on acquiring sensor data from an industrial motor. Real world application such as predictive modelling will be discussed. This will ensure that the participants can have a concise real world walk through of various different sensors and its acquisition techniques. Condition monitoring for machinery will be illustrated.

Course Objectives

• The participants will understand various different type of sensors

• The participants will be able to make use of sensor to perform data acquisition. 

• Develop data acquisition systems that produce accurate measurements
• Acquire data from sensors, such as thermocouples and strain gages, using microcontroller based hardware 
• Create graphical user application to perform data acquistion
• Use basic signal conditioning technique to improve the quality of acquired signals
• Synchronize multiple DAQ operations and devices

Training Kit

This course make use of low cost industrial microcontroller and sensor acquisition system that the trainee need to purchase separately.
