Computer Laboratory 1: Industrial Automation
(Room 2.102)

The laboratory room 'Industrial Automation' is used by undergraduate students of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Mechatronics for hardware-oriented programming of micro controllers and other basic applications of computer engineering. Advanced courses include exercises on micro controllers with real-time operating systems, SPS systems and system programming.

This room offers ten work stations. Each work station includes a development environment (PC) for cross-program development equipped with several compilers, cross compilers and debuggers. The development computers also store lecture- and practical-related PDF files as well as information about further hard- and software for student use. Further data can be obtained by internet access.

Each work station is used for the cross development of three target hosts. It is possible to perform hardware-oriented programming in Assembler and C on a 68HCS12 micro controller system. A high-capacity PowerPC MPC565, driven by a real-time operating system, is programmed in Multitasking C. The PLC system consists of automation components made by Phoenix Contact. Students program this system with programming languages in accordance to IEC61131. In addition to the hardware systems installed at each of the ten work stations there are machine models made for usage of HCS12, MPC565 und PLC.

Students who wish to do off-schedule exercises or depend on computer access for exam preparation in the field of machine control may ask for a key or key card.

This laboratory room was mainly sponsored by Phoenix Contact, IEP, Cosmic and WERMA Signaltechnik.
