The MiniSims are small simulators designed for educational use in the study of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and its applications in various sectors, such as: Agri-food, energy, automotive, manufacturing, etc. computer, health, chemical and biotechnological.
They simulate, through an internal microcontroller, the operation of a computer, a plant, a system, etc., interacting with the student and generating all the information for the connection to the IoT, thus allowing to achieve one of the main objectives of this technology, what is to be seen or controlled by both other objects and network users.
A real IoT system is composed of objects (equipment, plants, systems, etc.), communication networks, servers and clients. An important feature of the MiniSims is to reproduce the entire IoT system on a single workstation, in an ‘open’ way, where the student can interact autonomously with the different parts of the system.
To use the MiniSims you need the IoT module, in particular, the DevIoT unit for the physical connection of the simulator to the cloud and the DL Workspace application that contains the servers and clients for the full operation of the system.
Experiments can be performed on a single computer, using all the tools of the DL Workspace software
