Abstract

This paper presents a new architecture of remote laboratory multiuser based on embedded web server used for experiment of the MCS-51 microcontroller system. The design for remote lab uses green computing approach, with the aim of reducing energy consumption, lowering the cost of procurement systems, improving performance and using, and also space saving. The remote lab system uses multi user and multi device architecture to support collaborative work and improve scalability. The design of remote lab has n modules experiment, and each module can be accessed by a single user or a group which consists of several user. The prototype of a remote lab that has been realized consists of an embedded web server based on Raspberry Pi as remote lab gateway and 2 experiment modules that is controlled by an embedded web server based on MCS-51 microcontroller. Development of the system is expected to contribute to creating an efficient remote lab that is able to serve the collaborative work and support green computing.

Highlights

  • A remote lab is a web-integrated system that can be accessed through a unified interface by a web browser[1]

  • The system has two kinds of web servers – that is a web server remote lab gateway based on a PC server and an embedded web server (EWS) based on an MCS-51 microcontroller for control experiment modules

  • The system consists of a web server remote lab gateway based on an ARM 11 embedded System; two experimental modules for an MCS-51 microcontroller family, which is controlled by an embedded web server based on AT89S52; IP camera; and several computers on the client side

Summary

INTRODUCTION

A remote lab is a web-integrated system that can be accessed through a unified interface by a web browser[1]. The work in [2] describes an approach for the development of an embedded web server that facilitates a remote access for an electronic engineering laboratory experiment for distance learning. Experiments are usually conducted in a conventional laboratory, usually consisting of a group of students who has to be able to experiment with the same module This condition is what is known as the concept of collaboration or teamwork, where one student with other students can communicate and hold discussions. The work in [10] describes a client server architecture based on web services and .NET remoting services for an integrated learning environment with remote experimentation that allows students in disparate locations to simultaneously and collaboratively complete complex experimental exercises. Design hardware involving an embedded web server and lab module; section IV contains design software for the remote lab; section V provides results and discussion; and section VI concludes the paper
