<objectives>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.</objectives>
