The Avnet MicroZed Industrial IoT Starter Kit supports designers’ edge-to-cloud development of Internet-connected solutions and includes all the necessary building blocks for developing a production-ready, IoT-enabled, industrial processing system. The platform is based on Avnet’s MicroZed™ system-on-module (SoM) with Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC from Xilinx and pluggable sensor solutions from Maxim Integrated and ST Microelectronics. The kit integrates the IBM Watson IoT agent on top of a Linux operating system. The provided out-of-box example design uses a standard MQTT messaging protocol to communicate with Watson IoT, which enables registered, secure connection to additional cloud services and applications, including the IBM® Watson™ IoT Platform built on IBM Bluemix®. Bluemix provides a rich palette of composable services to rapidly enhance IoT solutions with cognitive capabilities.
The X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1 from ST Microelectronics is a motion MEMS and environmental sensor evaluation board system compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 connector layout. It is designed around four discrete sensor solutions from STMicroelectronics, which communicate to the MicroZed via an I2C interface. The sensors include:
The MAX31855PMB1 peripheral module includes the MAX31855 cold-junction compensated thermocouple-to-digital converter, which performs cold-junction compensation and digitizes the signal from a thermocouple. The module is set up to operate with the included K-type thermocouple. The data is output in a signed 14-bit, SPI-compatible, read-only format. This converter resolves temperatures to 0.25°C, allows readings as high as +1800°C and as low as -270°C, and exhibits thermocouple accuracy of ±2°C for temperatures ranging from -200°C to +700°C for K-type thermocouples.
