Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

MST604 Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 6, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):

Learning outcomes:
This module, which builds on the content of the lecture course “Microprocessors and their Applications I”, aims to teach students about the use of microcontrollers in areas of automation engineering. The course will discuss and illustrate in detail the interaction of the I/O modules needed to interface with external processes. After completing this course, students will understand the structure and function of a microcontroller system in automation applications (including the interfaces to communication bus systems) and will be able to operate the controller to accomplish a given task. The focus of this module is on practical applications.

Module content:
1. Operating principles of integrated units such as chip-select units, serial  
   port units, interrupt control units, bus interface units and execution units.  
   Processing of commands, command scope and memory access; using the ECB to  
   solve simple automation and instrumentation tasks; task specification and  
   program generation
 
2. Use of an assembler; transfer of programs into the target system; testing  
   programs for functionality and completeness
 
3. Use of bus systems and networks and interfacing with the ECB
 
4. To supplement the content of the lecture course, the lab course offers  
   supervised practical exercises and projects to further student understanding  
   of how individual components function.
