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

DFBEES-603 (P610-0014) Electrical Engineering - Renewable Energy and System Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2019 , semester 6, mandatory course, technical
E2404 (P211-0013) Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2018 , semester 4, mandatory course, technical
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 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
E2429

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will able to describe the structure and functionality of industrial control systems and explain typical devices and assemblies of industrial control technology. They will be able to apply known logical instructions and common data types for the description of control processes to predefined function and process descriptions. Students will be able to design their own solutions in standardized programming languages according to DIN-EN 61131-3 of control technology and will have the opportunity to implement and test these solutions on laboratory development systems.
