After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• implement basic measuring concepts for e. g. temperature, pressure, mass flow at energetic systems
• implement basic control concepts by using an SPS
• realisation of process- and data-visualisation

• What is an PLC and how does it work?
• Overview over automation topics (from the sensor to the distributed control system, interfaces, bus standards, transmission protocols)
• Digital signal acquisition (sensors, converters, processing)
• Control of thermal process variables
• Sequential control and process automation
• Safety technology

• presentation and explanation
• self-reliant setting of sensors and data-acquisition
• programming of SPS
• error-diagnostics
• execution of data-logging and visualisation tasks
