Description
The course explains the hardware functions and the programming of the standard systems of the ESX- 3XM controller in C. Further contents are the introduction to the safety layer and the SIL2 diagnosis and the difference between standard API and safety API.
The course is intended for developers, who will program own safety applications for the ESX.3xm.
