This course is designed for anyone interested in developing a deep understanding of modern control and processor technology. Today, almost all complex processes – from simple individual sequences to multi-layered networks – are controlled by computers, processors, and controllers.
Building on the fundamentals of digital technology, the lecturers will introduce you to the central components, modules, and the internal and external processes of processors. Through hands-on experience with practical examples, participants will establish a solid foundation for a thorough understanding of automated systems and their networking.
