COM3LAB: Multimedia Lab for Electronics & Electrical Engineering - 700 020
COM3LAB is a multimedia-based learning software for vocational and advanced training in the technical and engineering fields. The focus is on vocational training in electrical engineering and automotive technology.
The interactive learning program starts with a theoretical introduction followed by at least one topic-related, practical experiment. The COM3LAB self-assessment test ensures that the course content is absorbed and consolidated.
A wide variety of different COM3LAB courses are available for fundamental and advanced topics in the fields of electrical engineering and automotive technology.
The COM3LAB Master Unit (700 020) is a multifunctional, compact, measuring interface. It is used for the operation and power supply for the COM3LAB multimedia experiment boards and as an independent measuring laboratory. The Master Unit is connected to the PC via a USB Port, WiFi or Ethernet for the recording of measurements and for remote control of it's built-in functions. The Master Unit can be quickly attached to an experiment board via the experiment board carrier. It's clear and structured design results in easy operation.
The COM3LAB software can be downloaded from www.LD-DIDACTIC.de free of charge or obtained on DVD (700 OOCBT). For each COM3LAB multimedia course there is an electronic, interactive instruction manual. The contents of the manual are dependent on the topic and are tailored to the hardware. The operation and function of the manuals are identical for all courses. The 32-bit user interface, into which the interactive manual, the virtual lab and the tools are integrated, also remains the same for all courses.

Basics of Automobile Electrical Engineering - 727 520KOF
The LEYBOLD STE plug-in system is a tried and tested experimentation program for electrical engineering and automotive electronics. Experimentation literature in the form of instruction sheets are available for both students and teachers to assist in performing the experiments.
The printed symbols on the plug-in housing elements, connectors, and training panels provide the experiment set-ups with a circuit-like appearance. This facilitates knowledge transfer between the circuit diagrams in the textbooks and the circuitry being assembled and makes documenting the experiment findings easier and ultimately promotes circuit-based thinking, learning, and experimenting.
The STE elements come ready for use and are protected against external mechanical damage due to their electrical and electronic components encased in transparent housings. Thanks to the transparent bottom part the original component is visible.
The STE case is the storage solution which also serves as a student workstation. The cover can be used to accommodate various STE equipment sets and also assist in performing experiments in the classroom. The clearly configured storage design permits quick setup and a quick start to experimenting.

Static Converter Drives & Induction Machines - E2.5.3.1
The power electronics part of this lab practical uses training panels. The electrical machine employed is an industrial machine on a base, whereby the characteristics of the machine can be determined using the Machine test system 0.3. Power is supplied to the machine under test via a static converter, which obtains its power from the (three-phase) mains network.
This equipment set allows experiments on how the speed of asynchronous (induction) machines can be modified using line-commutated static converters. The speed of the machine depends on the stator voltage and rotor impedance and can be adjusted in the experiment by changing these two variables.
As well as putting the machine into operation and setting its parameters, the main thing considered is the change in the response of the machine. This involves recording load characteristics and determining key parameters. Addition of a PID controller allows the experiment set-ups to be enhanced into variable-speed drives with closed-loop speed control.
Students work in the power engineering lab with mains voltage. Experiments procedures are contained in a printed manual. The experiments are designed for intermediate and advanced levels.
