CEC Semester Fourteen 2018

In our second class, we will investigate an innovative example circuit for interfacing with the myriad industrial Ethernet standards: the Renesas RZ/N1D chip and its development board set. The RZ/N1D is a multiprocessor system-on-a-chip that...

Today, factories and production facilities are becoming more advanced in order to improve productivity and safety. These advances are based on converting to open or Ethernet network communication. Several technical requirements demanded of the...

Standards can be used to help mitigate safety and security concerns. Many are developed precisely for this purpose. In this talk, we look at the types of standards involved and discuss their impact on the IIoT in terms of the protocol stack...

At the heart of any enterprise today is data. IIoT systems produce very valuable data. As is well known, attacks on infrastructure are on the increase and pose a number of problems. In this class, we will look at the problems associated with theft...

In this lecture, we will consider security in the industrial setting. Because these are basically control systems, we will approach security from the point of view of those systems. This can include physical security as well as communications and...

Security goes with safety in the IIoT. If the systems are not secure, then safety cannot be ensured. Security is not a sufficient condition for safety, but a necessary one. In this lecture, we will look at a number of safety considerations and...

In this class, we will detail the environment under consideration. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a subset of the Internet of Things (IoT) with very specific requirements. In this environment, safety is a big concern. In addition...

What do you get when you ARM a postage stamp-sized sensor platform with a microphone, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a magnetometer, a barometer, and a Bluetooth radio? (Hint: Today’s lecture title)

This lecture revolves around mating a sensor platform with differing communications methods. Because one method is not offered in prototype form, we will build our own.

Remember the casino fishtank sensor hack? This lecture will show you how to keep your IoT sensor device from “tanking” by ARMING it with a Microchip SAM L11.
