EduTech Workshop on 11.06.2026

The EduTech Workshop focuses intensively on a single topic and combines theoretical content with practical hands‑on training for all participants. With the support of a subject matter expert, you will deepen your knowledge in a practical way using current industry solutions and examples. Our trainers will bring the necessary equipment so that you can work directly on realistic tasks in small groups.

Based on the currently published PAL examination materials (spring or autumn), you will gain concrete insights into the implementation of Final Examination Part 1 for industrial mechanics using a small controller. Together, we will look at how a potential exam task could function, interpret the small‑controller program provided by PAL based on SIEMENS LOGO!, and derive a potential function from it. Additionally, we will examine the interaction with electropneumatic actuators to provide a comprehensive understanding of the exam requirements.

Duration: 09:30–15:00
