Abstract

This paper focuses on the implementation of the first remote laboratory in the mechanical field being used by the Higher Institute of Industrial Systems of Gabès (ISSIG)-Gabès University, Tunisia. The developed remote laboratory is achieved thanks to the e-Sience Tempus project. The control system for this remote laboratory was implemented using LabVIEW software. The experiment studies the forced vibrations system. The students access our platform via the internet to determine the resonance frequency of damping forced vibration from the amplitude vs. excitation frequency and the phase angle vs. excitation curves. The students also determined the damping ration for system via phase angle vs. excitation frequency curve. All online experiments were deployed on the interactive version of iLab Shared Architecture (ISA).

Highlights

  • Remote laboratories use real equipment that can be operated remotely through an experiment interface [1]

  • The core of the remote laboratory is a cluster of general-purpose and/or specialized instruments interfaced to a set of personal computer systems connected to the internet [2]

  • We focus on the online laboratory being used by the Institute of Industrial Systems of Gabès (ISSIG) University in Tunisia

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Remote laboratories use real equipment that can be operated remotely through an experiment interface [1]. This laboratory, which is called Online-Lab, is a part of the e-Sience project (Réseau Maghrébin de Laboratories à Distance) carried out in cooperation with France, Austria, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Romania and Greece It seeks to help the Maghreb countries train a large number of students to satisfy the huge demand for training of senior technicians and engineers It is the only online Lab in the mechanical field for the e-Sience project. Online-Lab, the first remote laboratory in Tunisia that completely works at this moment, was implemented and developed to allow students to conduct practical work from anywhere and at any time without being physically present. The ISA tool provides a framework for deployment of iLabs in a disturbed fashion using web services This allows the lab to be made available to users’ worldwide using standard network protocol.
