Microcontroller technology

System

The equipment consists of 2 trainers, which are widely used embedded systems in the control and in automation technology.

With these systems, the student learns basic technologies for industry 4.0 systems and "Internet of Thinks (IoT).

This is the basis for the development of fast-reacting sensors and communication systems, as these are necessary in microcontrollers or portable systems.

Includes the following systems:

• Embedded Internet Trainer
• FPGA trainer

Function

Embedded Internet Trainer

The Embedded Internet Trainer provides students with a full understanding for modern digital communications protocols and the development of embedded internet-based products.

FPGA Trainer

The Field-programmable Gate Array Trainer provides a platform for learning FPGA programming in either VHDL or Verilog. The trainer includes a FPGA development board, LED boards, switch boards, a dual 7-segment display board, a prototype board, serial D/A board and a power output board.

All  packages includes the experimental hardware, power supply, cables, software and experimental manuals.

Target group
This program’s target group includes students of control technology or automation at colleges and universities. The laboratory experiment equipment is also well suited as lab equipment for research projects in the respective subjects and faculties.
