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

MST605 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):
MST104 Technical programming 1
MST206 Technical programming 2
MST403 Fundamentals of Mechatronic Systems


[updated 19.09.2013]
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Schäfer
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Schäfer

Learning outcomes:
This module aims to teach the fundamentals of controlling technical processes using computers (PCs) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Students will learn how to adapt the process signals so that they can be handled by the PC or PLC and how to transmit signals between the various components. In this course, students will also extend and deepen their knowledge of the programming language C and will learn a PLC programming language. Students will apply what they have learned in four laboratory experiments.
