Fakultät für Technik,
Hochschule Pforzheim

The School of Engineering offers its students a number of study programs related to computer-based embedded solutions: electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechatronics and medical systems design. In embedded systems, the design of hardware and software of the system, and the management of the information transfer to and from the technical system are of utmost importance. Field buses are used for this transfer in most industries. EtherCAT is intended to be used in lectures and in research projects.

The School of Engineering offers its 1000+ students an ever increasing number of study programs. In particular in the domains of mechanical and electrical engineering in conjunction with information technology, there is a harnessing of a synergy effect. Field buses play an important role in linking together the various components of machines, finally forming a complete system. As the EtherCAT field bus technology has gained importance in many industries, EtherCAT is intended to be used in lectures and in research projects.
