The CEC will get you up to speed quickly on a host of technologies you've been meaning to study via a series of 45-minute online lessons taught by our faculty of expert tutors.
Solid state technology provides the advantages of small size and fast switching speeds for industrial machines and process control applications. Hand gesture controls are being explored as non-traditional input controls for smart factories. Fast...
Photoelectrics allow non-contact inputs to drive industrial machines and process controls. Light curtains are safety control photoelectric devices that detect the presence of an operator in active work cell. In this session, photoelectric sensors...
This class will provide an introduction to the Renesas Synergy Platform- the target used to provide example designs during the rest of the course. A description of each of the key hardware, software and documentation elements of the platform will...
Now that we know how to control the ARM I/O subsystem, we can add to that functionality by taking control of the ARM on-chip peripherals. Today’s lecture will concentrate on enabling ARM-based UARTS, SPI and USB portals.
Learning to control an ARM processor’s I/O subsystems is essential. In this lecture, we will code firmware manipulation routines for various STMicroelectronics ARM microcontrollers using the Keil MDK-Essential Edition.
Today, we will collect all of the tools we’ll need to ARM ourselves for the rest of the lecture series. We will gather programmers/debuggers, install software tools and test the operation of the hardware that we will be discussing this week.
This class will provide an example implementation using one of the target platforms described in the previous class and the focus of the design review will be based on input from the students during the first two classes.

This class will provide descriptions and examples of some common Industrial Ethernet applications and will illustrate how/when MCUs can be used as target platforms.
Industrial Ethernet leverages the key elements of Ethernet and provides a robust solution for industrial applications. This class provides an introduction to the Industrial Ethernet standard.
