 What are
protocols
• In a network, communication occurs between entities in different systems which is
capable of sending or receiving information.

• However, two entities cannot simply send bit streams to each other and expect to
be understood.

• For communication to occur, entities must agree on a protocol.

• A protocol is a set of rules that govern data communications.

• Protocol defines what is communicated, how it is communicated, and when it is

31
communicated
 What are
protocols
• Key elements of a protocol are syntax, semantics, and timing.
❑ Syntax- Refers to structure or format of data, meaning order in which they are
presented. For example, a simple protocol might expect first 8 bits of data to be
sender address, second 8 bits to be receiver address, and rest bits to be
message.
❑ Semantics- Refers to meaning of each section of bits. (To interpreted a pattern and
perform necessary action) For example, does an address identify route to be taken
or final destination of message?
❑ Timing- Refers to two characteristics: when data should be sent and how fast they
can be sent. For example, if a sender produces data at 100 Mbps but receiver
process data at only 1 Mbps, transmission will overload receiver and some data will
be lost. 32
 IoT Architecture and
Protocols
▪ Link Layer Determines how data is physically sent over network layer (e.g.
copper wire, coaxial cable or a radio wave).

▪ Determines how packet are coded and signaled by hardware device over
medium to which host is attached.

▪ Link Layer Protocols:-

 IoT Architecture and
Protocols
1. Link Layer Link layer protocols determine how the data is physically sent over networks
physical layer or medium (e.g. copper wire, coaxial cable or radio wave).
• Its scope is local network connection to which host is attached.
• Hosts on same link exchange data packets over link layer using link layer protocols.
• Determines how packets are coded and signalled by hardware device over medium to
which host is attached (such as a coaxial cable).
1. IEEE 802.3 - Ethernet : IEEE 802.3 is a collection of wired Ethernet standards for link layer. For
example 802.3 is standard for 10BASE5 Ethernet that uses co-axial cable as a shared medium,
802.3.i is standard for 10BASE-T Ethernet over copper twisted pair connections, 802.3.j is
standard for 10BASE-F Ethernet over fibre optic connections, 802.3ae is standard for 10Gbit/s
Ethernet over fiber, etc. Standards provide data rates from 10 Mb/s to 40 Gb/s and higher.
Shared medium in Ethernet can be a coaxial cable, twisted pair wire or an optical fiber which
carries communication for all devices on Internet, thus data sent by one device can be
received
by all devices subject to propagation condition and transceiver capabilities. 34
 Link
2. Layer
IEEE 802.11 –Wi-Fi : IEEE 802.11 is a collection of wireless LAN (WLAN) communication
standards including extensive description of link layer. For example 802.11a operates in
5GHz band, 802.11b and 802.11g operate in 2.4 GHz band, 802.11n operates in 2.4/5 GHz
bands, 802.11 ac operates in 5GHz band and 802.11ad operates in 60 GHz band.
Standards provide data rates from 1 Mb/s to 6.75 Gb/s.
3. IEEE 802.16—WiMax : IEEE 802.16 (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)
is a collection of wireless broadband standards including extensive descriptions for link
layer. WiMax standards provide data rates from 1.5 Mb/s to 1 Gb/s. Recent update
provides data rates of 100 Mbit/s
mobileforstations and 1Gbit/s for fixed
35
stations.
 Link

(LR- WPAN). Standards form basis of specifications for high level communication protocols
such as ZigBee. LR-WPAN standards provide data rates from 40 Kb/s to 250 Kb/s. Standards
provide low cost and low speed communication for power constraint devices.
5. 2G/3G/4G—Mobile communication: There are different generations of mobile
communication standards including 2G (GSM and CDMA), 3G (UMTS and CDMA 2000) and 4G
(LTE), IoT devices based on these standards can communicate over cellular networks, Data
rates range from 9.6 Kb/s (for 2G) to 100 Mb/s (for 4G).

 IoT
Protocols
2. Network/Internet Layer -This layer performs host addressing and packet routing. Datagram
contain source and destination addresses which are used to route them from source to
destination across multiple networks.
• IPv4: Internet protocol version 4 is most deployed internet protocol, used to identify devices on
network using hierarchical addressing scheme. It uses 32 bit address scheme that allows 2 32
addresses. It is succeeded by IPv6. IP protocols establish connections on packet networks, but
do not guarantee delivery of packets. Guaranteed delivery and Data integrity are handled by
upper layer protocols such as TCP.
• IPV6:- New version of internet protocol which uses 128-bits address that allows 2^128 or 3.4 X
10^38 address.
• 6LoWPAN:- IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) brings IP
protocol to low power devices which have limited processing capabilities. Operates in 2.4 GHz
frequency range and provides data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s. 6LoWPAN works with 802.15.4
link layer protocol and defines compression mechanisms for IPv6 datagrams over IEEE
based networks.
802.15 .4 -
 Transport
Layer
Provide end to end message transfer capability independent of underlying network.
• Message transfer capability can be set up on connections using handshakes (as in TCP) for without
using handshakes (as in UDP) . Provides functions such as error control segmentation, flow control
and congestion control.
1. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): - Widely used for data transmission in communication network such
as internet. It is a connection oriented and stateful protocol. While IP protocols deals with sending
packets, TCP ensures reliable transmission of packets in order. It provides error detection capability so
that duplicate packets can be discarded and lost packets are retransmitted. Flow control capability
ensures that rate at which sender sends data is not too high for receiver to process. Congestion control
capability helps in avoiding network congestion and congestion collapse which can lead to degradation of
network performance.
2. User Datagram Protocol (UDP): - Transaction oriented, stateless and connectionless protocol. Useful for
time-sensitive applications that have very small data units to exchange and do not want connection
38
setup-
overhead. Does not provide guaranteed delivery ordering of message and duplicate elimination.

4. Application Layer Defines how application interface with the lower layer protocols to send
data over network. It enables process-to-process connections using ports.
• HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) forms foundation of WWW.
❑ Includes commands such as GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, HEAD, TRACE, OPTIONS, etc.
❑ Follows request response model where client sends requests to server using HTTP
commands.
❑ Stateless protocol where each HTTP request is independent of other requests.
❑ HTTP client can be a browser or an application running on client (e.g., an application
running on an IoT device, a mobile application or other software.)
❑ Uses Universal Resources Identities (URIs) to identify HTTP resources.
40
 Application
Layer
• Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP): used for machine-to-machine applications.
❑ Meant for constrained environments with constrained devices and networks. Like,
HTTP, CoAP is a web transfer protocol and uses a request-response model, however it
runs on top of UDP instead of TCP.
❑ Uses a client-server architecture where clients communicate with servers using
connectionless datagrams.
❑ Designed to easily interface with HTTP.
❑ Supports methods such a GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.

41
 Application
Layer
• WebSocket: allows full-duplex communications over a single socket connection for
sending
messages between client and server.
❑ Based on TCP and allows streams of messages to be sent back and forth between
client and server while keeping TCP connection open.
❑ Client can be browser, mobile application or an IoT device
• Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT): light weight messaging protocol based
on publish-subscribe model.
❑ Uses a client-server architecture where clients connects to server and publishes messages
to topics on server.
❑ Broker forwards the messages to clients subscribed to topics
❑ Well suited for constrained environments where devices have limited processing and 42
memory resources and network bandwidth is low.
 Application
Layer
• Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Protocol for real-time
communication and streaming XML data between network entities.
❑ Powers wide range applications including messaging, presence, data syndication,
gaming, multi-party chat and voice/video calls.
❑ Allows sending small chunks of XML data from one network entity to another in near real-
time.
❑ Decentralized protocol and uses a client-server architecture.
❑ Supports both client-to-server and server-to-server communication paths.
❑ Allows real-time communication between IoT devices.
43
 Application
Layer
• Data –Distribution Service (DDS): Data-centric middleware standard for device-todevice or
machine-to-machine communication.
❑ Uses publish-subscribe model where publishers create topics which subscribers subscribe.
❑ Publisher- responsible for data distribution; subscriber- responsible for receiving published
data.
❑ Provides quality-of-service (QoS) control and configurable reliability.
• Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP): Protocol for business messaging.
❑ Supports both point-to-point and publisher-subscriber model, routing and queuing
❑ AMQP brokers receives messages from publishers and route them to consumers.
❑ Publishers publish messages to exchange which then distributes message copies to queues.

Design Principles for Connected
Devices
• For designers focused on designing SW services and
screen based interfaces or physical products, Service Design
designing IoT solutions imposes design challenges.
• IoT solutions consist of multiple elements:
• physical devices like sensors, actuators and UX Design
• interactive devices,
• network connecting these devices, UI Design
• data gathered from these devices and
• analyzed to create a meaningful experience and
• physical context in which user interacts with Industrial
solution. Design
53
 Design Principles for Connected
Devices
1. Focus on value
• User research and service design are more crucial than ever.
• For your IoT solution to become widely adopted, you need to dig deep into users’ needs in order to
find
out where lies a problem truly worth solving and what is the real end user value of the solution.
• Understand barriers of adopting new technology and your solution specifically.
• Need to plan carefully what features to include and in which order.
1. Take a holistic view
• IoT solutions consist of multiple devices with different capabilities and both physical and digital
touchpoints.
• Solution to be provided in co-operation with multiple different service providers.
• Conceptualize model of how user understands and perceives system.
• Whole system needs to work seamlessly together in order to create a meaningful experience.
55
 Design Principles for Connected
Devices
3. Put safety first
• Consequences can be serious, when something goes wrong.
• Building trust should be one of your main design drivers which is built slowly and lost easily,
• Understand possible error situations related to context of use, HW, SW and network as well
as
to user interactions and trying to prevent them
• If the error situations still occur, it means appropriately informing user about them
and helping them to recover.
• Consider data security & privacy as key elements of your design
• Quality assurance is critical and it should not only focus on testing the SW, but on testing end
to end system, in a real-world context.

56
 Design Principles for Connected
Devices
4. Consider the context
• IoT solutions exist at crossroads of physical and digital worlds. Commands given
through digital interfaces may produce real world effects, but unlike digital commands,
actions happening in the real-world cannot necessarily be undone.
• Make dynamic platform. For ex. Design devices that hold up against changing
weather conditions.
5. Build a strong brand
• Aim to build trust, something unexpected will happen at some point and your solution is
somehow going to fail so build a strong brand that truly resonates with end users.
• Trust should be a key element of brand which should also be reflected in rest of brand
elements, like choice of color, tone of voice, imagery etc.
57
 Design Principles for Connected
Devices
6. Prototype early and often
• HW and SW have quite different lifespans, but as successful IoT solution needs both HW and
SW elements, lifespans should be aligned.
• IoT solutions are hard to upgrade, because once connected object is placed somewhere, it is not so
easy to replace it with a newer version and even software may be hard to update due to security and
privacy reasons. Due to these factors and to avoid costly hardware iterations, it’s crucial to get solution
right, from beginning of implementation.
7. Use data responsibly
• IoT solutions generate tons of data.
• Identify data points that are needed to make solution functional and useful.
• Learn to understand data science and analyse that data to extract meaningful results.
• Data science provides a lot of opportunities to reduce user friction, i.e. reducing use of time, energy
and attention or diminishing stress.

1.Principles
IoT Principle 1 – Be passionately obsessive about your customer experiences.
Connected devices and sensors are a vehicle to improve customer
experience. Sometimes you must put profit on back burner to enhance experience
with technology.
2. IoT Principle 2 – Create a seamless experience across all platforms and channels.
Mastering information continuity is key to great omnichannel experiences. As an
example, if a customer has a faulty connected vacuum cleaner and calls one of your
customer-service agents, that agent should already be able to see where vacuum
cleaner is and what's wrong with it — better yet, that agent could contact customer
proactively with a solution.
3. IoT Principle 3 – Always look for ways to improve.
Provide tools to drive change and improvement on a continuing basis with much better
data and analytics. It creates high visibility and process improvement within an
your process. IoT can give you real-time insight into flow, status, and state of key items
organization.
 Internet
4.Principles
IoT Principle 4 – Just having data isn’t enough.
Collect data at an alarming rate, however data isn’t enough. That data needs to be
leveraged with models, analytics, and algorithms to extract insight from it. This will
help you dig deep into your processes and consistently be improving them.
5. IoT Principle 5 – Think Big, take small bites.
Bite sized, discreet projects together bring most big visions. These allow you fail and
iterate experience gained IoT is a journey and you should have an idea of just how long
it is going to be. To be successful you need to move forward in small steps, learning
from mistakes.
6. IoT Principle 6 – Become a Platform company with IoT.
By creating a platform business model, you allow other businesses to leverage your
capabilities
leverage yourto connected
grow their own businesses and thus creates a long, sustainable 59
competitive advantage for your business. Think of ways to allow other businesses
 Internet
Principles
7. IoT Principle 7 – Outcome based business models are where it’s at.
IOT connected devices allow to sell outcomes. In this model, customer pays for results
that a product or service provides rather than for product or service itself. This is not a
fit for every business, however, if implemented, they can they can increase your profits,
improve your relationships with customers and increase customer loyalty.
8. IoT principle 8 – Next generation is finding a way between monetizing your data
and protecting privacy.
Some companies are monetizing data they collect from sensors. Financial trading
companies are buying cargo ship transit and port arrival information. Utility companies
are buying building and appliance energy-consumption data. Smart home companies
are selling data to advertisers and insurance companies.
61
 Internet
Principles
9. IoT Principle 9 – Disrupt the value chain by exploring HOT products and services.
Innovation is key. It creates opportunities for growth up and down value-chain.
Learn
industry and look for areas in which there are customer issues or stranded excess
margin. Look for strategy that will disrupt industry value-chain. A value chain is
end-to- end set of processes and activities for an industry.
10. IoT Principle 10 – Create a Flywheel for your IoT Strategy.
A lot of effort should be put into identifying factors that will generate and keep the
most momentum in creating upward growth patterns. If you have a good handle on
systems dynamics, you can then use IoT to identify and execute on opportunities and
risks in your business. Understanding the moving pieces will give a company greater
momentum to carry a company to improved things.

Sensor
s
• Sensors and actuators are two critical components of every closed loop control
system. Such a system is also called a mechatronics system.
• Mechatronics system consists of a sensing unit, a controller, and an actuating unit.
• Sensing unit consist of additional components such as filters, amplifiers, modulators,
and other signal conditioners.
• Controller accepts information from sensing unit, makes decisions based on
control algorithm, and outputs commands to actuating unit.
• Actuating unit consists of an actuator and optionally a power supply and a
coupling mechanism.
85
Sensor
s
• Device that when exposed to a physical phenomenon (temperature, displacement,
force, etc.) produces a proportional output signal (electrical, mechanical,
magnetic, etc.).
• Transducer synonymous with sensors.
• Sensor is a device that responds to a change in physical phenomenon while
transducer is a device that converts one form of energy into another form of
energy.
• Sensors are transducers when they sense one form of energy input and output in a
different form of energy. For example, a thermocouple responds to a temperature
change (thermal energy) and outputs a proportional change in electromotive force
(electrical energy). Therefore, a thermocouple can be called a sensor or
transducer. 86

 Selection
Criteria
Multiple static and dynamic factors are considered in selecting a suitable sensor to measure
desired physical parameter. Following is a list of typical factors:
• Range—Difference between the maximum and minimum value of the sensed parameter
• Resolution—The smallest change the sensor can differentiate
• Accuracy—Difference between the measured value and the true value
• Precision—Ability to reproduce repeatedly with a given accuracy
• Sensitivity—Ratio of change in output to a unit change of the input
• Zero offset—A nonzero value output for no input
• Linearity—Percentage of deviation from the best-fit linear calibration curve
• Zero Drift—The departure of output from zero value over a period of time for no input
• Response time—The time lag between the input and output
• Bandwidth—Frequency at which the output magnitude drops by 3 dB
• Resonance—The frequency at which the output magnitude peak occurs 98

s
• Actuators are devices which drive a machine (robot) including its grippers.
• Muscles of a human arm and hand.
• While human arm provides motion, hand is used for object manipulation.
• So, actuators in robots (machine) provides motion while grippers manipulates
objects.

Choice of
Actuator
• Choice of actuator depends on mechanical power required Pu and velocity that
describe joint motion.
• Based on source of input power Pa, the actuators can be classified into three groups:
1. Electric Actuators: Primary input power supply is electric energy from
electric distribution system.
2. Hydraulic Actuators: Transform hydraulic energy stored in a reservoir
into mechanical energy by means of suitable pumps.
3. Pneumatic Actuators: Utilize pneumatic energy, i.e., compressed air, provided by
a compressor and transform it into mechanical energy by means of pistons or
turbines. 10

Choice of
Actuator
• Electric actuators in industrial robots have wide availability due to their
easy availability followed by hydraulic and pneumatic actuators.

• Hydraulic actuators are suitable for applications where the requirement is high
power- to-weight ratio

• Pneumatic actuators are often used by electrically actuated robots for their grippers
requiring only on-off motions of the jaws.

• Use of a pneumatic gripper makes the robot system a little lighter and cost effective.

ELECTRIC
ACTUATORS
• Electric actuators are generally those where an electric motor drives robot
links through some mechanical transmission, e.g., gears, etc.

• The first commercial electrically driven industrial robot was introduced in 1974
by
ABB.

• Different types of electric motors are stepper motors, and the dc and ac motors.

10

Advantages of Electric
Actuators
• Widespread availability of power
• supply.
Basic drive element in an electric motor is usually lighter than that for fluid power, i.e., pressurized
fluid or compressed air.
• High power-conversion efficiency.
• No pollution of working environment.
• Accuracy and repeatability of electric drive robots are normally better than fluid power robots in
relation to cost.
• Being relatively quiet and clean - acceptable
environmentally.
• Easy maintenance and repair.
• Structural components can be lightweight.
• Drive system is well suited to electronic control. 10
6
Disadvantages of Electric
Actuators
• Electrically driven robots often require incorporation of some sort of
mechanical transmission system.

• Additional power is required to move the additional masses of the transmission

system.

• Unwanted movements due to backlash in transmission elements.

• Due to increased complexity in transmission system, there is need of complex
control and thus, additional cost for their procurement and maintenance.

107
• Electric motors are not intrinsically safe, mainly, in explosive environments.
Overcoming Gaps of Electric
Actuators

• Introduction of direct-drive motor system, in which electric motor is a

part of relevant robot arm joint, eliminates need of transmission
elements.

• Furthermore, introduction of newer brushless motors allow electric

robots to be used in some fire-risk applications such as spray painting,
as the possibility of sparking at the motor brushes is eliminated.
108
 Hydraulic
Actuators
• HAs Offer high power to weight ratio, large forces at low speeds, both linear and rotary
motion, compatibility with microprocessor and electronic controllers and tolerance of
extremely hazardous environment.
• Can hold load without break, generate less heat at actuator and apply torque without
gearing.
• Hydraulic pumps may be designed for average load whereas electric motors are designed
for maximum load. Accumulator stores energy and supplies when required.
• EAs are located at or near joint, adding to mass and inertia of robot.
• In HAs only actuator, control valves and accumulators are near the joints.
• Linear cylinder and rotary vane cylinder.
