Internet technology connecting devices, machines and tools to the internet by means of wireless technologies.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects that contain embedded technology to communicate and
sense or interact with their internal states or the external environment.
✔ Such interactions can occur via a cloud computing infrastructure (e.g., devices exchanging information through a cloud
infrastructure).
✔M2M offers the means for managing devices and devices interaction, while also collecting machine and/or sensor
data.
✔ M2M is a term introduced by telecommunication services providers and, pays emphasis on machines interactions via
one or more telcom/communication networks (e.g., 3G, 4G, 5G, satellite, public networks).
✔ M2M is part of the IoT, while M2M standards have a prominent place in the IoT standards landscape.
✔ However, IoT has a broader scope than M2M, since it comprises a broader range of interactions, including interactions
between devices/things, things and people, things with applications and people with applications.
✔ It also enables the composition of workflows comprising all of the above interactions.
✔ IoT includes the notion of internet connectivity (which is provided in most of the networks outlined above), but is not
necessarily focused on the use of telecom networks.
Node
A sensor detects (senses) changes in the ambient conditions or in the state of another device or a system, and forwards or
processes this information in a certain manner.
✔ They perform some input functions by sensing or feeling the physical changes in characteristics of a system in response
to a stimuli.
✔For example heat is converted to electrical signals in a temperature sensor, or atmospheric pressure is converted to
electrical signals in a barometer.
For example, in a sound system, a microphone (input device) converts sound waves into electrical signals for an
amplifier to amplify (a process), and a loudspeaker (output device) converts these electrical signals back into sound
waves.
The word “Transducer” is the collective term used for both Sensors which can be used to sense a wide range of
different energy forms such as movement, electrical signals, radiant energy, thermal or magnetic energy etc., and
Actuators which can be used to switch voltages or currents

✔ Analog Sensors produce a continuous output signal or voltage which is generally proportional to the quantity being
measured.
✔Physical quantities such as Temperature, Speed, Pressure, Displacement, Strain etc. are all analog quantities as they
tend to be continuous in nature.
✔ For example, the temperature of a liquid can be measured using a thermometer or thermocouple (e.g. in geysers)
which continuously responds to temperature changes as the liquid is heated up or cooled down.
✔ Digital Sensors produce discrete digital output signals or voltages that are a digital representation of the quantity
being measured.
✔ Digital sensors produce a binary output signal in the form of a logic “1” or a logic “0”, (“ON” or “OFF”).
✔ Digital signal only produces discrete (non-continuous) values, which may be output as a single “bit” (serial
transmission), or by combining the bits to produce a single “byte” output (parallel transmission).
✔Scalar Sensors produce output signal or voltage which is generally proportional to the magnitude of the quantity
being measured.
✔ Physical quantities such as temperature, color, pressure, strain, etc. are all scalar quantities as only their magnitude is
sufficient to convey an information.
✔For example, the temperature of a room can be measured using a thermometer or thermocouple, which responds to
temperature changes irrespective of the orientation of the sensor or its direction.
✔Vector Sensors produce output signal or voltage which is generally proportional to the magnitude, direction, as well as
the orientation of the quantity being measured.
✔ Physical quantities such as sound, image, velocity, acceleration, orientation, etc. are all vector quantities, as only
their magnitude is not sufficient to convey the complete information.
✔For example, the acceleration of a body can be measured using an accelerometer, which gives the components of
acceleration of the body with respect to the x,y,z coordinate axes.
▪ If the output signal differs from the correct value by a constant, the sensor has an offset error or bias.
▪ Nonlinearity is deviation of a sensor's transfer function (TF) from a straight line transfer function.
▪ If the output signal slowly changes independent of the measured property, this is defined as drift. Long
term drift over months or years is caused by physical changes in the sensor.
▪ A hysteresis error causes the sensor output value to vary depending on the sensor’s previous input values
▪ An actuator is a component of a machine or system that moves or controls the mechanism or the system.
▪ Upon receiving a control signal is received, the actuator responds by converting the energy into mechanical
motion.
