Seminar on Geo Spatial Technology in Disaster Risk Mapping
On 9th September 2024, the Department of Electronics at Toc H Institute of Science and Technology hosted a seminar on “Geospatial Technology in Disaster Risk Mapping”, in collaboration with the Directorate of Technical Education, Kerala, as part of UDYAMA 1.0. led by guest speaker Dr. Girish Gopinath, Professor and Head of Climate Variability and Disaster Management at KUFOS. The seminar explored the crucial role of geospatial technology in enhancing disaster risk management. With a diverse audience of students, faculty, and professionals, the event fostered discussions on the challenges of disaster management and innovative solutions through geospatial data. This initiative not only enriched participants’ understanding but also aimed to build future partnerships between academia and industry, promoting collaborative approaches to real-world disaster management challenges.
Industrial Training on Digital Design and Verification using Cadence Tool by ENTUPLE TECHNOLOGIES
The successful completion of Industrial Training on Digital Design and Verification using Cadence Tool by ENTUPLE TECHNOLOGIES from 22nd July 2024 to 26th July 2024, mark the beginning of an ever – going learning experience of converting ideas and concepts into practical system. It was a five-day session, covering fundamentals of ASIC flow ,FPGA flow and Verilog constructs, combinational circuit design using Verilog, sequential circuit design using Verilog and modelling of a protocol state machine, and writing Test bench for a given design. The training session gave a hands-on experience on designing and testing of SoC & integrated circuits (ICs) using CADENCE TOOL.
TRAINING AND INTERNSHIP AT BOSCH REXROTH-GPTCK CENTRE OF COMPETENCE IN AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES
Bosch Rexroth – GPTCK, Centre of Competence in Automation Technologies held a training and internship for the fifth and seventh semester B.Tech Robotics and Automation students of Toc H Institute of Science and Technology from 11th September to 16th September 2023.
Topics covered in the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) Lab included the fundamental components, software used and Bosch PLC. Circuit logic for PLC applicationslike sustained PLC circuit, lighting control and motor control were designed and tested. The training also covered fundamentals of Industrial Automation – drives, controllers, sensors. In the Sensors Lab, experiments with various sensors – inductive, capacitive, magnetic, photoelectric, etc. were conducted. Lift logic was executed on Bosch PLC – PLC circuit to move from each floor to all other floors in a 3 level lift.
Various aspects of hydraulics and pneumatics were covered. The theory and practice on hydraulic and pneumatic systems imparted practical knowledge in an effective manner. Control of extension and retraction of a cylinder was done directly and indirectly using directional control valves. In the Applications Lab, integration of all systems was described. A mini assembly line model involving hydraulics and pneumatics controlled by PLC was studied.
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING ON PLC, VFD and SCADA
A two-day Industrial Training Program on PLC, VFD and SCADA was conducted by Mr. S. Raja and Mr. Kesav of Silicon Systems, Coimbatore on 4.1.2024 to 5.1.2024for the faculty of the Department of Electronics (ECE and RA).The program covered PLC hardware and programming. Ladder Logic Programming for applications targeted to Delta PLC AS218TX were developed in ISPSoft software and tested in online mode. These programs were then downloaded to the PLC to implement the application in the PLC.
Training on the Variable Frequency Drive VFD interfaced with DVP14SS2 Delta PLC was also done. Various modes by which the speed of a 3 phase induction motor could be controlled by the VFD were implemented.Interfacing of Human Machine Interface HMI with the AS218TX PLC using DoPSoft HMI Tool was also covered through various hands on applications. Lastly, SCADA software DIAView Development and DIAView Runtime were used to acquire and analyze real-time data and to control the PLC by giving various inputs.
FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ON TEXAS INSTRUMENTS TMS320C6748 FIXED AND FLOATING POINT DSP
An FDP was conducted to train faculty to use the TMS320C6748 DSP Processor on 10.1.2024 for various applications including filtering, audio acquisition and real-time signal processing. The TMS320C6748 fixed and floating point DSP is a low-power applications processor based on C674x DSP core. Code Composer Studio which is an integrated development environment (IDE) for TI’s controllers and processors was used to develop and debug these applications.
