Course content
Logic control systems, the state machine formalism and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). Analysis, design and documentation of computer based event driven systems. System development according to the V-model, and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as a developmental modeling language in software engineering. Embedded systems development in C: pointers and complex data structures (arrays and structs), register-level operations, bitvise I/O operations and interrupts. Documentation and code quality. Hardware and microprocessor architecture, digitizing analog signals, serial bus communication and information theory. Introduction to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

- Basic knowledge of and central components for signal adaptation and conversion.
- Basic knowledge on information theory and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Skills:
- Analyze, design and implement embedded systems.
- Use relevant tools for system development and documentation.
- Implement and maintain embedded systems written in C.
General competence:
- Communicate about control systems and their functionality with both specialists and system users.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, laboratory work and computer exercises. Descriptions and assessment criteria for all laboratory work and exercises will be provided on Blackboard.
Compulsory assignments
- Mandatory excercises and laboratory work
Further on evaluation
Evaluation is based on a final written exam (100%), and the result will be given as a letter grade (A-F). The candidate must have conducted mandatory excercises and laboratory work to be allowed to take the exam. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.
Recommended previous knowledge
Basic knowledge and skills in the fields of analog and digital electronics, information technology and programming.
