WebLabs: Remote Access Experiments for Teaching Process Control in Engineering Courses

Abstract

This work presents an overview of projects using remote laboratories developed at Instituto Mauá de Tecnologia in order to serve as a tool for teaching process control in engineering courses including: “WebLab for Speed and Position Control of DC Motors”,” WebLab for Mobile Robot Motion Control”, “WebLab for Temperature Control of a Didactic Oven” and finally a “Level Control System with Remote Web Access”. This last remote laboratory will be detailed showing the didactic resources used, the available functionalities, the experiments available and the first steps for those who want to implement a remote laboratory for process control.
