Preliminary projects

The author's own assemblies from training as the starting point of the thesis

By Chapter 13 of 13 1 min read Updated: 30 September 2026

Summary

The author's own assemblies around the IHK exam equipment were already created during training. From this practical work comes the observation that stands at the beginning of the bachelor's thesis: the exam board shows switch positions, but no plant behaviour.

The thesis did not come out of nowhere. The author's own assemblies around the IHK exam equipment were already created during training, the same equipment that was later to be replaced (Chapter 1).

Insight

From the practical work on these setups came the observation that stands at the beginning of the bachelor's thesis: the exam board shows switch positions, but no plant behaviour. The objective derived from this is described in Chapter 2.
