Laboratório virtual de sistemas de automação industrial.

Abstract

The developed project, aiming at the pandemic situation caused by the corona virus, idealized for LIEC’s Automation Laboratory the construction of virtual practices for Electrical Engineering students. The elaborated classes will allow students to approach instrumentation and manufacturing control topics through the simulation of instruments used in industrial applications and control loops. In addition, these activities can be used for learning in the area of Industrial Networks and for the development of Supervisory Softwares applications. The assembly of these scenes helps in the learning process and in the evolution of technical education, stimulating the acquisition of knowledge. Through virtual practices, students can experience the sensation of acting on an industrial process, but in an environment far from it and with its main use as a complementary didactic activity. Thus, based on this premise, it is essential that the engineer becomes familiar with this technical approach, which is of fundamental importance for his training.
