Donation of the Siemens Slovakia Company - Instabus laboratory

To control designing systems of the so-called intelligent buildings (appliances and equipment of which are fully automated and distance controllable even through the IT) is now possible for the TU in Kosice undergraduates through the new laboratory that was turned over to the University by Siemens Slovakia representatives.
The Instabus laboratory and the HV switch are valued to over 20 000 EUR, and were installed on the premises of the Faculty of Electrical engineering and Informatics (FEI) - Department of Power Engineering, which is the largest department of the kind in Slovakia and which as the only one has the branch accredited also for the Bachelor's study program.
TU in Kosice is persistently and systematically building good relations with a raft of partners from the practice, based primarily upon cooperation in solving their technical and organisational problems, reported for TASR the university chancellor Mr. Anton Čižmár. This is the way taken also by the FEI Department of Power Engineering. He particularised that the Department is striving to cooperate with companies producing and distributing electric energy or producers of technological devices utilised in production and distribution of electricity.
"One of the most recent contribution to the mutually advantageous cooperation is, beginning this day, also the Instabus laboratory and HV switch. The laboratory was born based on cooperation of the Department and Siemens. The students will be able to sweat through their theses if pertaining to the field of intelligent buildings, at controlling such buildings, though they will be able to master also alike activities in offices, businesses and other institutions" commented the Chancellor.
According to the Siemens Slovkia Director general Mr. Peter Kollarik the laboratory is just a contribution of their company to development of the sciential economy and the SR community and to enhancement of quality and attractiveness of the technical branches study.
It is years that Siemens cooperates with the TU. The Company launched its business activities in 1995 in Kosice with just several employees. Today, it is employing in the multitude of its departments some 270 people, majority of whom are TU graduates, and is intent on employing further graduates, added Mr. Kollarik.
Present on the new laboratory premises is also a lecturing centre capable of seating 50 people; the lab and its centre is equipped with fully functional intelligent Siemens Instabus EIB system, enabling to program and control a multitude of elements and appliances from darkening to the possibility to control heating and many other parameters and technical units utilising electricity in the so-called intelligent building. In another room is the system installed on an element-by-element basis along with numerous appliances such as various size illumination bodies, fans, darkening elements, heating controls and so forth.
