eLearning for PLC communication systems

Applied communication technology is assuming an increasingly important position in automation technology. Whereas in the first decades industrial automation communication was essentially related to fieldbus communication, in the last 10 years considerably more technologies for horizontal and vertical communication have emerged and moved into general factory automation. Here there is a considerable need for further development in academic education.

In the context of the further development of the teaching field of automation technology and systems engineering, Prof. Engels has therefore developed numerous new didactic systems and teaching materials in recent years.

The linked video shows exemplarily how a simple, classical communication task between a control system and an embedded system can be solved.

In addition, however, numerous other solutions for modern IT systems have been developed, which will gradually be incorporated into the modules.
