IOT Data Acquisition
IOT Data Acquisition
Introduction
• IoT devices can collect and transmit data about their environment, such
as temperature, humidity, air quality, and movement.
• This data can then be used to monitor and control physical systems,
automate tasks, and make better decisions.
Operating Systems and Drivers for IoT
End Devices
• The operating system (OS) and drivers that are used on an IoT end device play an
important role in data acquisition. The OS is responsible for managing the device's
hardware resources and providing a platform for software applications to run.
• The drivers are responsible for interfacing with the device's hardware and enabling it
to communicate with other devices and systems.
• A variety of operating systems and drivers are available for IoT end devices. The most
common operating systems include Linux, real-time operating systems (RTOSs), and
embedded Linux.
• RTOSs are designed for real-time systems, which are systems that must respond to
events within a certain amount of time. Embedded Linux is a version of Linux that is
specifically designed for embedded systems, which are systems that are typically
small, have limited resources, and must be reliable.
End Device Program
An end device program is a program that provides developers with the tools and
resources they need to develop and deploy IoT end devices. These programs
typically offer a variety of benefits, such as:
End device programs can be a valuable resource for developers who are new to IoT
or who do not
have the resources to develop and deploy their own IoT end devices.
The 4 stages of IoT architecture
The four layers of an IoT architecture are bifurcated based on the activities performed in that layer.
Here is an overview of 4 stages of IoT architecture in chronological order:
The first layer of IoT platform architecture includes actuators and sensors that interact
with real-world elements. Sensors are responsible for detecting instances and capturing
real- world data such as temperature, humidity, and many others for IoT systems.
As the name suggests, this second stage covers data acquisition systems where the
real- world data is converted into a digital format for the IoT platform to use it. Such
data is then shared to the internet through an internet gateway. This internet gateway
acts as a bridge allowing sensors and actuators to connect to the internet.
3. Edge IT data processing
Edge processing allows the IoT platform to find useful data in massive datasets
and condense the insights rather than sharing the whole data from sensors to the
cloud. This eliminates the need for massive transmission bandwidth and storage
capability.
The last stage of a platform architecture is the cloud data center. That’s where
the entire IoT ecosystem data is stored, managed, and analyzed to derive useful
insights. Through AI or detailed research, such data is translated into actionable
insights. Based on these insights, actuators can be controlled, or users can be
notified.
Why do you need an IoT architecture?
• Scalability
A large IoT platform can consist of hundreds of devices with different applications and
needs. It is very important to evaluate the hardware & software specifications and
network infrastructure to ensure that such a vast system can grow and scale over
time.
•Cost-effectiveness
•
A proper IoT architecture can help reduce the costs of the system by
ensuring that the data is captured at the right intervals, only the
essential data is sent, and the right communication layer is there.
Every aspect of these system components is considered to be a part
of IoT platform architecture.
• Interoperability
A great IoT platform architecture is aligned with existing resources and has foreseen
potential upgrades down the road. It is important to have an architecture that
doesn’t need to be changed drastically at every period of time.
