Two-hour classes with a theoretical introduction of the basic elements for each activity, followed by practical work by the students.
The virtual platform used for communication with students will be the UAB Moodle Virtual Campus.
Own laptop is required.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

a) Planned assessment process and activities
The evaluation activities of the subject are detailed below, with their percentage of weight in the final grade:
To apply the calculation of the final mark, a minimum mark of 4 in activity 8 is required.
If this criterion is not met, the maximum final mark for the course will be 4.0.
Failure to attend class when taking assessment tests will result in a zero for the activity, with no possibility of recovery.
b) Scheduling of assessment activities
The schedule of assessment activities will be given on the first day of the course and will be published on the Virtual Campus.
c) Recovery process
Students may sit the make-up exam provided that they have submitted a set of activities that represent a minimum of two thirds of the total grade for the subject.
A minimum of 4.0 in Activity 8 will be required. If this criterion is not met, the maximum final grade for the course will be 4.0.
In agreement with the coordination of the Degree and the management of the School of Engineering, the following activities cannot be recovered: evaluative activities of any kind in which the student has committed an irregularity (copying, plagiarising, allowing copying).
d) Procedure for the revision of grades
For each assessment activity, a place, date and time of review will be indicated where students can review the activity with the teacher. In this context, claims maybe made about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the lecturer responsible for the subject. If the student does not attend this review, the activity will not be reviewed later.
e) Grades
Honours. It is the decision of the lecturers responsible for the subject to award an honours degree (MH). UAB regulations state that MH may only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade of 9.00 or higher. Up to 5% of the total number of students enrolled may be awarded MH.
A student will be considered non-assessable (NA) if he/she has not appeared in a set of activities whose weight equals a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject.
f) Irregularities on the part of students, copying and plagiarism
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that may be considered appropriate, irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation in the grade of an evaluation act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, allowing copying, etc. in any of the assessment activities will result in a zero. Assessment activities graded in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable.
g) Evaluation of repeating students
There are no changes with respect to new students.
h) Single assessment
This subject does not offer a single assessment.
Use of hardware based on Arduino PLCs.
Matlab and C programming for Arduino.
Siemens Step7 - Microwin for PLC programming.
