Real equipments laboratory and models remote control via programmable controllers

Abstract

The paper is focused on description of remote control of laboratory models that are used in the process of education at our faculty. The models are connected to programmable logical controllers (PLC) and through these equipments the models are controlled. As the first step the students have to connect the model to a PLC. With that they have to make a program for mode control and they must verify its functionality. The last step is the visualization of the process control in some commercial SCADA/HMI systems. There are also described possibilities of remote control in the paper. Examples of all these cases are presented in this contribution.
