“…A remote laboratory was used to illustrate several control experiments for control engineering in [1], [2]. A remote laboratory for engineering measurements was used as a power engineering and motion control laboratory for a mechatronic course in [3]- [5]. Web-based laboratories were also used as a configurable electronic laboratory [6], an analog and digital communication laboratory [7], a robotic control laboratory [8], [9], a digital signal processing laboratory [10], and an electrical machine laboratory [11]- [15].…”

This study presents the design and implementation of a web-based remote laboratory for a multi-mode single-leg power converter, which is a topic in advanced power electronics course. The proposed laboratory includes an experimental test rig with a multi-mode single-leg power converter and its driver circuits, a measurement board, a control platform, and a LabVIEW-based user interface program that is operated in the server computer. Given that the proposed web-based remote laboratory is based on client/server architecture, the experimental test rig can be controlled by a client computer with Internet connection and a standard web browser. Although the multi-mode single-leg power converter can work at four different modes (main boost, buck-boost, boost-boost, and battery boost modes), only the buck-boost mode is used in the experiment because of page limit. Users can choose the control structure, control parameters, and reference values, as well as obtain graphical results from the user interface software. Consequently, the feedbacks received from students who conducted remote laboratory studies indicate that the proposed laboratory is a useful tool for both remote and traditional education.

This paper proposes an extended version of the R-DSP (Remote Digital Signal Processor) Server which supports the remote control of real-time DSP applications through customized GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) developed by the users. This server allows users to validate their realtime DSP applications without time and place barriers. The interaction between the customized GUIs and the DSP development platforms through the R-DSP Server is achieved using TCP/IP messages formatted according to the R-DSP Protocol. The users are able to design and develop their own GUIs using any programming language. In order to decrease the complexity and the development time of customized GUIs based on Matlab and LabVIEW, two sets of functions are also proposed. Two examples of real-time DSP applications remotely controlled by customized GUIs are also presented.

“…Using this application, automation technical students can learn many fundamental aspects of control processes in a practical way. In [12], [13] an experimental mechatronic system and validation of the control design by remote experiments at Maribor University is presented. This system has been used in some E-courses of mechatronics.…”

Abstract-This paper describes the experiences using remote laboratories for thorough analysis of a thermal system, including disturbances. Remote laboratories for education in subjects of control, is a common resorted method, used by universities. This method is applied to offer a flexible service in schedules so as to obtain greater and better results of available resources. Remote laboratories have been used for controlling physical devices remotely. Furthermore, remote labs have been used for transfer function identification of real equipment. Nevertheless, remote analyses of disturbances have not been done. The aim of this contribution is thereby to apply the experience of remote laboratories in the study of disturbances. Some experiments are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness in using remote laboratories for complete analysis of a thermal system. Considering the remote access to thermal system, "Sistema de Laboratorios a Distancia" (SLD) was used.
