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).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Benedikt Faupel
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Benedikt Faupel

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to handle, use and apply programmable logic controllers as well as system-theoretical methods for solving practice-oriented control and regulation tasks in the field of process engineering. They will be able to select controllers and their settings in a practice-oriented manner. Students will be familiar with the problems involved in selecting and setting control loops. Introduction of modern tools for problem solving, modeling and simulating automation tasks.
