Credit: 4:0:0

Marks: 50+50

Course Objective To understand the System Interconnection and protocols. To introduce the concept of communication protocols and give an overview of Data Communication Standards. To discuss the types of cables used for transmission. To discuss the operation and applications of the Protocols used in Industries.

Course Outcome The student will be able to identify the protocol. The student will have the ability to chose the require protocol and the communication modes for the given system. The student will be able to select a suitable cable for the transmission.

Unit I : Overview & Basic Principles Open systems interconnection ( OSI ) model - Protocols - Physical standard Smart Instrumentation systems- Bits, bytes and characters- Communication principles- Communication modes- Asynchronous systems- Synchronous systems- Error detection- Transmission characteristics- Data coding- The universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART)- The high speed UART (16550).
