Embedded & Industrial Networks

Prerequisite

• good understanding of IP-based communication protocols
• basic understanding of automation applications

Teaching methods Lecture/Lab
Learning target / Competences

Upon successful completion of this module, the student will gain a deeper insight into the internal structure of communication protocols as used for applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) using embedded systems and for industrial applications (Industrial IoT, IIoT). In this way, they also learn about the most important design paradigms at the different levels and are thus able not only to select and use the communication protocol best suited to the application, but also to design appropriate adaptations and extensions themselves.
