ALS-embdes-01 Embedded System Design Trainer
Specification:
Self contained unit that allows the user to understand the different aspects of development of an embedded controller product.
An eight channel Alarm annunciator with ISA sequences - a standard Industrial Product -is chosen for study – all hardware including the controller board, the interface boards, the fault simulation inputs, related outputs and power supply are laid out neatly on a panel, mounted on a frame. Suitable test points are provided for monitoring of signals
An ARM7TDMI controller, LPC 2148 is chosen as it represents state of the art features ,has the requisite I/O lines and is easily programmable.
Acrylic transparent windows ensure that the details of the PCB’s are visible to the user.
Detailed schematics of Controller and interface board along with descriptions ensure proper understanding of the hardware.
Flow charts along with source code illustrate the implementation of the required features.
An inter connection drawing shows the interface between the various modules constituting the unit.
Provision is made for connecting the controller board to an alphanumeric LCD display for user study. Based on the inputs provided the user can develop other modules/hardware and write code for this, using the environment provided.
Training Programs
In continuation of our efforts to provide quality support along with quality products we have started a host of training programs for the benefit of students, faculty and non teaching staff at our training center at Bangalore. A brief about these paid programs is as follows.
Internship For Students:
- This is a 5 day training program for students at our center. Since it’s a 5 day program we conduct this during the semester breaks. The crux of this program is to provide some basics to students, preferably who have completed 3rd semester. For higher semesters we can conduct advanced training on Microcontrollers, HDL and ARM. The detailed course contents are enclosed.
Three Day Workshop On Servicing Of Equipments FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT STAFF
- TECHNICAL SUPPORT STAFF: This workshop is specifically modeled for the non teaching technical staff to provide the basic tips on servicing of lab equipments and also to train on the software installation of some of the software used for regular programming labs. It is not restricted only to non teaching staff. If teaching faculty is interested they are also most welcome.
Two Day Workshop Hdl / 8051 Microcontroller / Arm 7 / Plc:
- This is exclusive 2 day workshop for each of the above subject separately. This is aimed at covering the practicals as per syllabus with hands on practice. It covers the respective software installation procedure, board explanation, programs downloading and execution. Focus will also be on program explanation. This can be attended by teaching, non teaching staff or students. This program can also be conducted at your campus.
