Details
The students work together as project teams. Each team works independently under supervision a subject area. Here, the team gains knowledge about the theory, about the practical configuration and the use of devices in the automation of a large plant, especially for the planned SLIM plant in PLT planning.
The topics are drawn for the teams.
Each team will have a laboratory session in which every single student will get familiar with the equipment and systems related to his topic in the lab in order to be able to demonstrate them practically and to explain their function, operation and purpose.
Datasheets, company information and helpful links to the topics are available and can be accessed. Of course, students can also do their own research.
The explanation of the devices and systems and the handling are part of an examination in the laboratory. This presentation is graded. If this does not have to be taken as passed, the advance payment for the later module examination in the form of an exam is not provided! The team also formulates technical questions for companies that use such devices and systems. Each team member contributes at least one question. The questions are evaluated.
The team then visits a user industry company and discuss the planning and deployment of their own equipment and systems.
Each student should then give their own lecture (10 min + discussion) from the topic area to inform the other listeners (specialization topic). The topics are part of the technical realization of the planned SLIM plant in PLT Planning; the reference to the system should always be established. In a topic area, it makes sense that the first lecture gives an overview and the following lectures deepen the technical details. Each lecture will then be put up for discussion. In the discussion, the clarified questions from the company are also discussed. The questions of the audience are evaluated.
At the lecture date, the slides are to be handed over as PowerPoint files. Each slide requires text formulated as a note. After all, your fellow students should be able to prepare themselves for inquiries with the help of slides and the text. The PowerPoint file with the notes is included in the assessment.
At the end of the semester, there will be an exam, which recapitulates the material of the lecture and the material of the student lectures. It will give relatively simple questions about measurement principles and the basics that have been taught. For the 33 questions there are 60 minutes of time available, documents may not be taken.
