1 Introduction General form, specific content, specification of the remote experiments for individual learning modules and specification of the educational methodology are presented. Everything is adapted to the need of professionals from industry, ascertained with the knowledge and education needs analysis (E-PRAGMATIC Deliverables D2.2 and D2.3).

2 General form of the learning modules General form in which the e-learning material is presented, will be the same for all E-PRAGMATIC learning modules. This form is partially determined by the learning management system (LMS) eCampus.

Since the materials will be also available in the form of handbook, a special Word template was prepared. The template is designed in such way, that easy transform to SCORM format will be possible and that it can be also used for the final handbook (see attached document).

Information concerning the modules In all learning modules following data should be provided in the introduction:

• Course summary , 100-200 words • Course outline • Educational objectives • Target group • Required preliminary knowledge

Structure of the learning materials 1. Structure (table of contents)

• Each chapter has all (or at least most) of the following elements: text, scheme/photo/video, motivation question, side note. Example of the learning unit with text, scheme and motivation question.

• Maximum two chapters’ levels can be used: chapter, subchapter. For each chapter there should be an introductory text (the text which doesn't belong to any subchapter). Each chapter and subchapter title should be formatted with in this Word template build-in Heading1, Heading2 style respectively. Each heading represents one learning page in e-course. A learning page is also called a learning unit.

• It is recommended, that the chapters are balanced, respectively that they have approximately the same number of subchapters.

• It is recommended that the content of each page is limited to one 'screen', respectively 1.500 characters with blanks included.

• The content of the learning unit should be written with 'Normal' style. It can be additionally formatted as bold and/or italic. The text can be aligned right or left. All this formatting will be preserved in SCORM format as well.

• Paragraphs’ formatting and Bulleted Lists 1 and 2 formats will be also preserved in SCORM format.

P a g e | 2

• Tables will be exported to the learning portal in general format (defined on the

learning portal). Exported are also the paragraphs inside of the cells. • Colour, font and size of the text will not be exported to the learning portal. This is

set generally in the learning portal in order to preserve uniform graphical appearance for all learning materials.

2. Motivation questions • It is recommended that the motivation questions are provided in the most of

learning units. The learners answer those questions immediately after they read the learning unit and get immediate response.

3. Side notes • Learning units can be additionally variegated by the side notes. The available

notes types are: Warning, Advice, and Interesting. In order to show a side note in the learning unit, specific text should be placed at the end of corresponding chapter/subchapter.

For inserting Warning add at the end of the chapter/subchapter following: [opomba tip=1]Be careful with the units![/opomba] For inserting Advice add at the end of the chapter/subchapter following: [opomba tip=2]At the calculation of acceleration don't forget the friction! [/opomba] For inserting Interesting add at the end of the chapter/subchapter following: [opomba tip=3]One of the first computer viruses was written in Pakistan![/opomba]

4. Links It is recommended to include links in the learning contents in order to provide the additional information. Try to provide links only to relatively long-lasting pages. Hyperlinks such as E-PRAGMATIC will be automatically transferred to hyperlinks in the SCORM learning materials.

Multimedia elements 1. Figures

• It is recommended that each learning unit contains a figure/photo/scheme/video. Each Figure should have a caption.

• A figure width should not be over 570px. • The figures from Word documents are to the learning portal exported in the size in

which they are shown in Word document. Please note: If we put into Word a picture with size 570px is this picture automatically adapted to the size of Word page (for example 450px) and is in such size also exported to the learning portal. Therefore it is recommended, that pictures are in the Word re-set to their original dimensions.

• Supported formats: *.png and *.jpg (for photographs).

P a g e | 3

2. Animations, audio and video • Following multimedia elements can be used: flash animations (swf), Articulate

Engage animation (zip), audio (mp3), video (avi, mp4) or embedded video from other pages such as YouTube). For flash information dimensions should be known (for example 550x320px).

• The multimedia elements will not be transferred from Word document to SCORM learning materials automatically, but they can be added to the learning materials manually, directly within the learning portal.

Knowledge tests 1. General

• Electronic knowledge tests with automatic assessment should be included in each learning module. It is also possible to introduce such test for each chapter.

• The tests will be composed randomly, so that from the base of question-answer pairs a new test with predetermined number of questions will be created. In the base of question-answers pair also motivation questions could be included.

• Tests prepared according to the instructions in the template will be automatically exported from Word document to SCORM format in eCampus.

2. Structure of e-tests • Number of questions. 10-20 questions are recommended for each learning module. • Possible types of the questions: multi-choice single-answer, multi-choice multi-

answer, free text answers. • Number of the answers. For the questions with one correct answer 4 answers

altogether are usually provided. For the questions with more than one correct answer usually 5 answers altogether are provided. If more than one answer is correct, then this is usually mentioned in the questions (for example 'Two right answers').

3 Specification of the contents/experiments in the learning

modules The contents of learning modules were chosen according to the stated knowledge and education needs of the target group (professionals from industry). The needs were investigated by:

• E-PRAGMATIC questionnaires, 355 answers from 7 participating countries were received, • direct interviews with the industrial partners, • other sources of information (results of other studies).

Results, analysis and conclusions are given in E-PRAGMATIC WP2 report, D2.2, D2.3, D2.4 (also available at the project web page and here). Based on the results and their expertise the partners suggested learning modules, which they will prepare.

2. UNI MB for remote working stations for two modules (PC based measurement and instrument control I and II).

- Booking system of University Maribor will be used by: 1. TU Delft for the experiment from Solar energy, 2. UNI MB for its remote experiments.

- WebLab of UDEUSTO will be used for all remote experiments in the learning modules

prepared in this institution.

Connection between all systems and eCampus learning management system will be established in order to avoid double sign-in.

Technical details and other further information (description of remote access systems) are presented in the following document: EPRAGMATIC_2nd_meeting_minutes.pdf (available under WP1 or here).

5 Educational methodology A general methodology for distance education does not exist. There are however few factors, which are known to have a significant effect at the efficiency of distance education and should be considered at the preparation of the modules:

• basic methodology, • material distribution, • supervision of the training participants, • methods for maintaining motivation of the learners.

Here presented draft educational methodology will be refined during the preparation of learning modules and in parallel to on-going adaptations of the learning management system. After the pilot training, based on the gained experience and obtained feedback from the participants (based on the results of the questionnaires, which will be executed during training), the guidelines for further development and implementation of the developed educational methodology and specifications for e-learning in industry will be set. Final educational methodology will be presented in Deliverable D8.6, ‘Further development of specifications and methodology for e-learning of technical subjects in industry’, available 15.10.2012.

Basic methodology Asynchronous distance learning was chosen for e-PRAGMATIC training. This is the most frequently used method for the online programs and courses. Asynchronous learning enables the learners to enrol in the courses at the times which suit her/him.

P a g e | 13

E-PRAGMATIC training will also offer few remote experiments and working station, which will be available 24 hours/day. Therefore all advantages of asynchronous learning process will be exploited in E-PRAGMATIC training. The learners will be able to access learning materials and remote experiment for practical work at any time they chose.

Further, the results of E-PRAGMATIC questionnaires (D2.3, D2.3, available under WP2 and online) have shown that preferred days for the training differ for the participant to the participant. However, on general, each day about the same percentage of the learners will engage in the training. This fact makes application of the synchronous learning methodology impossible and is another reason for choosing of the asynchronous distance learning method.

Nevertheless some time limits have to be set for the training duration. Average time which the participants have at disposal weekly to engage in the distance training is 6 hours (as found out by the questionnaires).

Average E-PRAGMATIC distance course will require about 15 hours of work effort. Therefore 3 weeks of time should be devoted for each course. If an average participant of the pilot training will enrol in 3 courses, would this mean about 45 hours of work. Based on this the pilot training could be realised within 10 weeks, which corresponds to the time planed for pilot training (1.4.2012 - 15.6.2012).

Material distribution Learning modules will be presented within LMS in the form of small learning units (as described in section 2) with motivation questions, exercises and remote experiments. Additionally some pdf files will be provided for the cases where information is not available in other forms (like for example producer specifications for drives, industrial robots,..).

Inside the learning material, the additional links will be provided to Wikipedia and to other relevant pages. Those links will serve of providing more detailed explanation of some concepts or to provide background knowledge necessary for understanding of the learning materials.

Experience gained from the projects which involved education of professionals from industry (project Merlab), also shows, that some adult learners still prefer traditional, printed learning materials and have somehow negative attitude toward learning directly from the computer screen. However if materials suitable for printing are offered and participants chose to learn off-line, then their learning time and engagement cannot be checked by the mentors. This makes distance supervision of the learners harder and some advantages of distance training are lost.

In the case that learning materials in the form suitable for printing will be requested by the pilot training participants, then the tutors, respectively authors of the learning materials will alone decide, if they will provide it to the individuals who will request it.

After the project finishes, an additional service ‘Print on demand’ will be offered within the learning portal as a part of commercialization/ sustainability measures.

P a g e | 14

Materials will be also prepared in the form of handbook, which will be available on DVD. Handbook will be prepared after the pilot training, since based on the training results and feedback, necessary changes/adaptation of the learning material will be done.

Supervision/tutoring of the learners Each learning module will have assigned a tutor/mentor, who will supervise all participants of the course for which she/he is responsible. The tutor will set exact deadlines (within pilot training period) in which the learners will have to fulfil all their obligations (exercises, test, and remote experiments).

Contact between tutor and learner will be through:

- messaging in the LMS as a primary method, - e-mail, when suitable, - phone, optionally, - direct contact at the introductory meeting and also for execution of some part of the

courses. This is also optional method, which can be used for the participants from the same country to provide them additional knowledge and possibilities. However all courses have to have also the version which can be executed completely online, since for the participants from other countries will be impossible to participate at the live meeting.

Tutors will try to keep contact with the learners by contacting them:

- At the beginning of the module execution for explaining how the training is planned, which exercises, tests and experiments the learner has to execute/pass in order to successfully finis the module.

- When the participant sends solved free-text exercises or reports for experiments, which have to be checked by the tutor. Then the tutor should answer and provide comments as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours.

- When the tutor receives from the participant a question concerning learning materials and other training related topics.

- When the participant successfully finish e-test. - When the learner doesn’t log to the learning platform for a longer time or is behind with the

work (sending exercises, executing tests).

Based on the feedback from the learners each tutor will however adapt this basic approach in order to consider individual needs of the participants and the whole group.

Methods for maintaining motivation of the learners Maintaining motivation of the learners is at distance training more challenging as at the conventional training (as there is no direct and daily contact with the tutors and other learners). However we do not expect very big problems with this, since already questionnaires’ results showed, that most of the participants are highly motivated to obtain new knowledge, either to be more efficient at the

P a g e | 15

usage of new tools/methodology at their work, either to improve income and be able to compete for a better job.

Nevertheless following methods will be used to motivate the learners:

- Providing constant and fast feedback on the activities of the learner (solved tests, sent reports and similar).

- Supporting and encouraging the interaction between learners in E-PRAGMATIC community concerning training related and other matters (D5.5).

- Providing confirmation about successfully finished training. Training confirmation (a general draft version is attached) will be issued by the project, and (if possible) confirmed by the institution which has prepared the learning courses in which the learner was enrolled. Text of the confirmation will be adapted by each partner according to their needs.

6 Specification of the modules for pilot training Update, January 2012

The data for each module, which will be collected with this form, will be forwarded to the possible participants of the pilot training. Based on this information possible participants will choose the modules in which they want to enrol.

Separate table for each language version of the same module were filled. For filling the table the same language in which the module is prepared and in which it will be available for the training is used.

Table has be created according to recommendation form Quality assurance plan for modules and Community 8D8.3).

- Module summary - text from module description (as foreseen in the template). Max 200 words. Please note that this is also marketing text for your learning module; therefore make it attractive and informative at the same time.

- Required preliminary knowledge and skills - text from module description (as foreseen in the template). Max 5 lines.

- Time span in which the module will be executed - Please write in which time period you will provide support/mentoring to the participants between 1.4.2012 and 15.6.2012. Preferably this should be for the whole timespan, but at least 1 month for each module. Note: all modules have to be on e-learning portal until 1.4.2012. no matter what the execution period will be.

- Other important information – Anything else that possible participants should know. - Mentor, organization – name and organization of the mentor who will supervise distance

training. - Maximal number of participants from other partners (countries) – state how many

participants you are willing to include in your course (for each language version separately in corresponding tables) from other countries/other partners. Number of participants from other countries plus number of participants from your country (those participants will be locally managed) should be minimum 15.

2 Summary of Learning Modules in English The Learning Modules are alphabetically arranged. Each Module has his own number, the legend of the course number is Module Number_ Language Available _ University provided and developed this Module.

2.1 8-bit Microcontrollers Advanced Course (M2_ENG_UDEUSTO) Title of the module 8-bit Microcontrollers Advanced Course Language English Module summary This course addresses the methodology to be followed by a programmer for the proper control of advanced peripherals including a microcontroller. From the Datasheet provided by the manufacturer, the course shows how to approach a resource to the development of advanced applications. This module begins once the student has completed the introductory course on microcontrollers. Each chapter of this module provides a resource that is explained as follows:

1. General functional description. The resource is presented in a generic way analyzing its main features.

2. The resource in the PIC18F4522. This section specifies the resource characteristics in the microcontroller included in the remote laboratory, "the PIC18F45k22".

3. A practical example. The resource is analyzed by developing a practical example. 4. Experiment. Using the remote laboratory "WebLab - PIC", the developed example is

implemented in a real PIC18F45k22. Required preliminary knowledge and skills • Principles of digital electronics and computer structure. • Successful completion of the introductory module to the microcontroller offered by E-PRAGMATIC

network. Time span in which the participants will be supervised 07.05. 2012 – 24.04. 2012 Other important information - Mentor, organization Ignacio Angulo Martinez, Deusto Institute of Technology, University of Deusto

2.2 Applied control theory (M1_EN_ UNI MB) Title of the module Applied control theory Language English Module summary Control of systems is one of the most important and most common tasks in the field of mechatronics, where feedback control (sometimes also called regulation) is especially important. The classic approach to teaching applied control theory uses relatively complex mathematical tools, which are not necessary for understanding of the basic principles. With understanding of controllers behavior and the effects of changing their parameters not only simple, but also more complex systems control can be easily carried out. In the frame of learning module initially the basic principle of feedback control is presented, we start with some simple problems, which we try to solve by using various types of feedback controllers. We start with the switching controller, the simplest of them, and continue with the introduction of hysteresis and an illustration of its effects. Then we continue with the most commonly used controllers - PID controllers, and by adjusting their parameters. For all the controllers also the possible realizations are shown. Through interactive simulation tools participants get familiar with the effects of changing the parameter values, by using some empirical approaches and formulas they acquire the ability for a more systematic approach. At the end their knowledge is used to control the system through a remote experiment and learn about the aspects of the use of realistic systems.

2.7 Energy efficient drive technologies (M1_EN_ HFTbiel/ SIEMENS) Title of the module Energy efficient drive technologies, Analysis of 5kW freight lift systems Language English Module summary Energy management in industry significantly gained importance in the last years. The reasons are high energy costs, increasing pretentiousness of the environmental constraints and/or efforts toward EN 16001 certification (European standard - Energy Management System).

Energy efficiency in the industry is crucial for increased productivity of different devices/machines and improved environmental friendliness of the industrial processes. A new generation of servo-drives, which allow recuperation of a braking energy, sets completely new standards for energy efficiency of industrial devices and production technology.

HFTbiel in cooperation with Siemens Schweiz AG has prepared a remotely accessible practical workplace, which can be used for comprehensive practical training with modern industrial equipment. SIEMENS servo-drives and servo shaft with 5 kW of power, controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), are used for realisation of the workplace. The learners can access this workplace without limitations. Also the learners without experience with SIEMENS technology have an opportunity to operate SINAMICS Servosystem and analyse the results. Namely the system can be easily recovered from improper manipulation or wrong input parameters and, by simple press of a button, always set back into desired initial state.

The workplace allows three different approaches. According to desired difficulty level, one can choose to concentrate on the analysis of PLC side of the workplace or on Servo Control Unit (CU). Following three learning cases are possible:

Case 1: In this case the access to a fully functional freight lift system is granted. The learner can, with a help of technical documentation, introduce themself into functions and technology of the

P a g e | 10

lift. It is possible to operate the system and observe the results of the changes.

Case 2: By using this access the learner will be faced with the error in PLC program, which will put the freight lift out of the operation. The error can be found and corrected through the analysis performed by using STEP7 software. This case presents a situation very relevant for service technicians, as it often appears in the practice.

Case 3: The learner is in this case faced with the system error in the lift operation. By analysing the system, the error can be localised and dismissed. The stress is put to choosing and setting suitable parameters of a servo control unit.

The learners with advanced knowledge in this topic also have a possibility to define the functions of the system from bottom up. All parameters and programs, including PLC side and drive side, can be newly set up.

To obtain necessary preliminary knowledge also E-PRAGMATIC modules Electric Drives (Simulation research) and/or Applied control theory (University of Maribor) can be taken.

Required preliminary knowledge and skills • It is an advantage if the learner known the engineering software from SIEMENS (STEP7,

STARTER). However this is not absolutely necessary, as one can Ad hoc obtain necessary knowledge of STARTER software.

• Basic knowledge of drives and control theory. Ability to analyse schemes and diagrams of industrial technical processes.

Time span in which the participants will be supervised 23.4.2012 - 30.05.2012 Other important information - Mentor, organization Mag. Thomas Zürcher, HFTbiel

2.8 Hybrid drive (M3_EN_UNI MB) Title of the module Hybrid drive Language English Module summary Hybrid electric vehicles are one of the effective technical solutions, which can improve our environment. Hybrid propulsion system allows best possible usage of the fossils fuel and hybrid vehicles with such propulsion are already available as a mass-market product.

This learning module presents basic operation principles, possible configurations and components of the hybrid vehicle propulsion systems. The analysis of the energy/power consumption for standard drive cycles is shown. Further it is described, how this can be used for dimensioning of the components of hybrid propulsion system.

As a case study a commercial plug-in hybrid vehicle, that is a vehicle which can be charged directly from the electrical grid, is described and analysed. Consumers’ view of hybrid vehicles is also presented based on the results of questionnaire executed between the drivers, who have tested the vehicle.

The module requires about 20 hours of studying. A non-obligatory participation at the practical workshop is also possible. Knowledge obtained int his module can be completed and upgraded by participating in the module Power electronics for electric vehicles (Delft University of Technology) .

Required preliminary knowledge and skills Basic knowledge or some practical experience in electrical engineering / mechanics (secondary vocational level). Time span in which the participants will be supervised 16.4. 2012 – 15.6. 2012 Other important information

P a g e | 11

The participants will be invited to a practical workshop in which few different electrical vehicles will be presented and testing of the vehicles will be possible. The workshop will be organised one Saturday in May 2012 at the Faculty of electrical engineering and computer science in Maribor, Slovenia. Participation at the workshop is not obligatory to successfully finish the module. Mentor, organization Mag. Marijan Španer, University of Maribor, Slovenia

2.9 Introduction to industrial robotics (M4_EN_UNI MB) Title of the module Introduction to industrial robotics Language English Module summary Although choosing and programming of industrial robots appears to be a pretentious task, it can be learned quite fast. This learning module gives a necessary basic expertise for this.

2.14 Low-cost platform to provide LAN / WAN connectivity for embedded

systems (M3_EN_UDEUSTO) Title of the module Low-cost platform to provide LAN / WAN connectivity for embedded systems Language English Module summary To include connectivity to local area networks in the design of embedded systems has become one of the most common requirements. Most industrial facilities have already deployed a local network that facilitates the installation of new distributed systems without requiring new communication infrastructures. Besides the use of standards in communication, it ensures secure transmission of data and ensures interoperability by enabling communication between different platforms. Moreover, if the network is connected to the Internet the system can be monitored or controlled from anywhere in the world.

Commercially, most systems including LAN connectivity are based on powerful platforms that complicate the design and hardware integration. These embedded platforms that integrate powerful microprocessors (Arm Cortex, Intel Athome, etc..) are suitable for embedded systems that include large requirements in terms of performance and graphics capabilities, but they suppose an overkill to implement systems that can be perfectly carried out by a microprocessor of 8 bits. The use of the architecture described by this course allows both significantly cheaper cost of production and design. In addition, the software stack provided by Microchip is compatible with all microcontroller families, i.e. those of 8, 16 and 32-bit, enabling scaling designs to new requirements.

This training module includes access to a remote laboratory based on the 18F97J60 PIC microcontroller that will allow students to experiment with the theoretical concepts seen in the course and build an application that can remotely monitor and control the environmental conditions of a building. Required preliminary knowledge and skills • Fundamentals of digital electronics and computer architecture. • Programming in C language • Experience in programming PIC microcontrollers.

4.1 Uporabna teorija vodenja (M1_SL_UNI MB) Naslov modula Uporabna teorija vodenja Jezik Slovenščina Povzetek Vodenje sistemov je ena najpomembnejših in najpogostejših nalog na področju mehatronike, pri čemer igrajo še posebno pomembno vlogo regulacije oz. zaprtozančno vodenje. Klasični način poučevanja regulacij uporablja sorazmerno zahtevna matematična orodja, ki pa za poznavanje osnovnih principov niso potrebna. S poznavanjem obnašanja regulatorjev in vplivov spreminjanja njihovih parametrov lahko brez večjih težav izvedemo regulacije ne samo preprostih, temveč tudi bolj zapletenih sistemov. V okviru učnega modula je na začetku predstavljen osnovni princip vodenja, podanih je nekaj preprostih problemov, ki jih v nadaljevanju poskusimo reševati z uporabo raznih tipov regulatorjev. Začnemo z najpreprostejšim, stikalnim regulatorjem in nadaljujemo z vpeljavo histereze ter nazornim prikazom njenega učinka. Nato nadaljujemo z najpogosteje uporabljenimi regulatorji – PID regulatorji, ter z nastavitvijo njihovih parametrov. Za vse regulatorje so prikazane tudi možnosti izvedbe. Preko interaktivnih simulacijskih orodij udeleženci s spreminjanjem vrednosti parametrov spoznajo njihove vplive, z uporabo nekaterih izkustvenih pristopov in formul pridobijo tudi zmožnost za bolj sistematičen pristop. Na koncu svoje znanje uporabijo še za vodenje sistema preko oddaljenega eksperimenta in spoznajo še vidike, ki jih s seboj prinaša uporaba realnih sistemov. V okviru modula pridobljeno znanje je nato lahko solidna osnova za nadaljnje individualno učenje in posledično pridobitev znanja potrebnega za načrtovanje in nastavljanje sistemov vodenja.

5 Summary of Learning Modules in Spanish The Learning modules presented here deliver introductory, intermediate, and advance courses for Microcontrolers. The modules are alphabetically arranged. Each Module has his own number, the legend of the course number is Module Number_ Language Available _ University provided and developed this Module.

5.1 Introducción a los Microcontroladores (M1_ES_UDEUSTO) Título del módulo Introducción a los Microcontroladores Lengua Español Resumen del módulo Un microcontrolador se describe como un circuito integrado que incluye todas las partes fundamentales de un completo sistema informático: CPU, Memoria y Entradas y Salidas. Este concepto se adapta perfectamente a los requerimientos de los sistemas embebidos los cuales, a diferencia de los computadores, deben siempre llevar a cabo la misma tarea: gobernar el funcionamiento del sistema en el cual se integran. Existen numerosos fabricantes de microcontroladores, todos ellos persiguiendo ajustar el rendimiento de sus dispositivos a los requisitos que demandan las aplicaciones reales. Así, de la misma forma que existen aplicaciones sencillas, como puede ser el control de un sencillo electrodoméstico y aplicaciones complejas, que exigen por ejemplo altas prestaciones para el tratamiento de imágenes o sonido, existe una inmensa gama de dispositivos que van desde el microcontrolador más sencillo de 8 bits hasta dispositivos de doble núcleo que integran motor DSP para el tratamiento de señales digitales. El éxito en el desarrollo de sistemas embebidos depende en gran medida de la elección del dispositivo que mejor se ajuste a los requisitos del proyecto. En este curso se introducirán los microcontroladores de microchip, profundizando en el estudio de la arquitectura de la familia PIC 18F y en la programación de estos. Durante el desarrollo del curso el alumno dispondrá de acceso a un laboratorio remoto que permitirá controlar el funcionamiento de un robot móvil gobernado por un microcontrolador PIC18F4550. Conocimientos Previos exigidos Fundamentos de electrónica digital y estructura de computadores Periodo de supervisión de los participantes 16.04. 2012 – 06.05. 2012 Otra información relevante Mentor, organización Javier García Zubia, Ignacio Angulo Martinez, Deusto Instituto de Technología, Universidad de Deusto

5.3 Plataforma de bajo coste para proporcionar conectividad LAN/WAN a sistemas embebidos (M3_ES_UDEUSTO)

Título del módulo Plataforma de bajo coste para proporcionar conectividad LAN/WAN a sistemas embebidos Lengua Español Resumen del módulo Incluir conectividad a redes de área local se ha convertido en uno de los más habituales requisitos en el diseño de sistemas embebidos. La mayoría de instalaciones industriales dispone de una red local ya desplegada que facilita la instalación de nuevos sistemas distribuidos sin requerir nuevas infraestructuras de comunicación. Además la utilización de estándares en la comunicación, garantiza la seguridad en la transmisión de datos y garantiza la interoperabilidad permitiendo la comunicación entre diferentes plataformas. Por otro lado, si la red está conectada a Internet el sistema puede ser monitorizado o tele-controlado desde cualquier parte del mundo. Comercialmente, la mayoría de sistemas que incluyen conectividad LAN se basan en potentes plataformas que complican la integración y diseño de hardware. Estas plataformas embebidas que integran potentes microprocesadores (Arm Cortex, Intel Athom, etc.) son adecuadas para sistemas embebidos que incluyen grandes requisitos en términos de rendimiento o capacidad gráfica pero exagerados para la implementación de sistemas que pueden ser perfectamente llevados a cabo mediante un microprocesador de 8 bits. El empleo de la arquitectura descrita mediante el presente curso permite abaratar sensiblemente tanto el coste de producción como el de diseño. Además la pila software proporcionada por Microchip es compatible con todas sus familias de microcontroladores de 8, 16 y 32 bits permitiendo la escalabilidad de los diseños ante nuevos requerimientos. Este módulo formativo incluye el acceso a un laboratorio remoto basado en el microcontrolador PIC 18F97J60 que permitirá a los alumnos experimentar con los conceptos teóricos vistos en el curso y construir una aplicación que permita monitorizar y controlar remotamente las condiciones ambientales de un edificio. Conocimientos Previos exigidos

6.1 Sterowniki PLC i sieci przemysłowe (M1_PL_PUT) Tytuł kursu (modułu) Sterowniki PLC i sieci przemysłowe Język Polski Streszczenie kursu (modułu)

Do celów sterowania procesami przemysłowymi wykorzystuje się programowalne sterowniki PLC lub uniwersalne regulatory przemysłowe. Różnica między nimi polega na tym, że sterowniki ze względu na programowalność mogą pracować z różnymi algorytmami sterowania, natomiast regulatory przemysłowe dedykowane są do wybranych procesów przemysłowych. W przemyśle chętnie stosuje się sterowniki PLC, gdyż umożliwiają szybkie zmiany funkcjonalności bez ponoszenia dodatkowych kosztów sprzętowych. Właściwość ta zwiększa elastyczność układów sterowania.

Z uwagi na bardzo dużą popularność sterowników PLC zaproponowano w/w kurs. Zaprezentowany kurs ma na celu zaprezentowanie podstawowej teorii na temat architektury i programowania sterowników PLC wraz z praktycznymi rozwiązaniami w zakresie algorytmów sterowania obiektem przemysłowym z wykorzystaniem sterowników PLC.
