Sataedu’s learning environment for Automation Engineering is based on the notion that learning is the outcome from the learner’s own activities. At Sataedu, learning is enabled by multilevel sectors of automation engineering, from Level 1 sensor technology all the way to Level 3 bus technology, robotics, control room programming and logic programming. When the student combines his or her single competences and knowledge further into sub-processes and into a well-functioning overall process, he or she will understand the functionality of the interface between the prepared programs, electric control and measuring as well as the mechanical machinery and equipment. This will result either in the specific moves within the sub-processes or, at best, in an unbroken running of the entire packing and storage process, which is controlled and monitored from a separate control room, like in a real process plan.

AVAILABLE TECHNIQUES• PLCs (Siemens S7-300 / 200 / 1200)

• Bus technologies (Ethernet, Profibus-DP, AS-I)

• Control system (InTouch)

• Industrial robot (KUKA)

• Frequency inverters

• Positioning frequency inverter (SEW IPOS)

• Motor starters (SIMOCODE DP, ET200S)

• Safety technique (relays, beam curtains, etc.)

LEARNING AUTOMATION ENGINEERINGPROCESSThe process refers to the build up of several roll conveyors for transfer and storage, an elevator, an automatic package machine, a handling robot and a control room. All installations are completed by following up-to-date industrial standards from a mechanical and electrical perspective.

TARGET GROUPStudents in vocational education and training (VET), whose knowledge, skills and competence in automation engineering range from good to excellent and who want to achieve even broader skills and deepen their competence in discrete automation.

AVAILABLE GRANTSErasmus+ KA1, vocational training placement in another country, hosted at the VET school.

PREPARATIONSErasmus+ KA1, staff mobility. If the internship for students is e.g. 4 weeks, the teacher should apply for his or her own mobility period one week before the start, to learn the process and to prepare the appropriate tasks for students.

ACCOMMODATION / GROUP SIZESataedu has accommodation for 8 students.
