Implementação de um laboratório remoto para um sistema supervisório utilizando as redes industriais AS-i e Profibus-DP.

Abstract

The remote laboratory is an educational tool that helps the practical learning of students who does not have access to a laboratory with a high quality infrastructure, enabling the control and the real time monitoring of the physically assembled experiment, via the internet. In the Electronics Instrumentation and Control Laboratory (LIEC) of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), it was developed a remote laboratory that can be used in some courses as Electronics Instrumentation and Industrial Automation Systems, which experiment is a supervisory system that monitors the sensors of an industrial belt conveyor prototype that are connected to a programmable logic controller (PLC) with the industrial networks AS-i and Profibus-DP, which user interface of the system has been implemented in LabVIEW, a National Instrument’s software.
