Abstract
Remotely control applications over a wide area had been commonly used in the industries today. One of the common applications requires remote control and monitoring is inverter fed induction drive system. Drive system has various types of controller, in order to perform some actions such as control the speed, forward and reverse turning direction of the motor. This approach can be done by Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), and with the rise of the technology, Ethernet module will be used in order to achieve the remote control system. Plus the PLC today can be controlled not only using its original software, but 3rd party software as well, such as LabVIEW. LabVIEW is a human machine interfaces design software that is user friendly. It can be easily communicate with different hardware.
Highlights
In the past, engineers had been designing the engineering systems that require a lot of hardwares
programmable logic controller (PLC) had been commonly used in the industry, including controlling induction motor inverter fed variable drive system
Engineers can use LabVIEW [2], which has various types of industrial applications which are in virtual instrument (VI) instead of the real and heavy instrument, to control the PLC
Summary
Engineers had been designing the engineering systems that require a lot of hardwares. It is merely impossible to design distance control of the system as more hardwares and wiring were needed. With the rise of the technology, programmable logic controller (PLC) have eased the engineering design and lessen materials required, it is because the entire design is implemented in software programming paradigm. Design distance control machinery is possible, even by using Ethernet as the communication device between the computer and the PLC [1]. Apart of design the program structure by its own proprietary software, the convenience part of PLC is the accessibility and controllability by other softwares. Note that such softwares must have driver utility of the particular PLC. Engineers can use LabVIEW [2], which has various types of industrial applications which are in virtual instrument (VI) instead of the real and heavy instrument, to control the PLC
