Controlling Mechatronic Systems

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Controlling Mechatronic Systems
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2012
Module code: MST.SMS
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.
P231-0078
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
2SU (2 hours per week)

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

MST.SMS (P231-0078) Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2012 , semester 6, mandatory course
MST.SMS (P231-0078) Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , 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).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 127.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Schäfer
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Schäfer

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will have acquired the basic knowledge required to control of technical processes with freely programmable controls in an industrial environment incl. the methodology for the realization of arbitrary sequence controls by means of deterministic. finite automata. Students will be familiar with the procedure for implementing digital controllers. Students will be able to safely design and implement controls for mechatronic systems on simple microcontroller systems.
