Abstract
This paper presents a remote laboratory with facilities that allow students to interact and perform, via internet, experiments in automation and process control. It proposes a Hardware-Software system which allows monitoring and controlling, through a website, a prototype of an industrial process implemented at the Industrial Automation Laboratory of the Department of Electronic Engineering at the UNEXPO “Antonio Jose de Sucre”, at Barquisimeto, Venezuela. The interaction of a Server computer, a Programmable Logic Controller or PLC and an IP camera allows the monitoring and controlling of a concentrated food maker prototype remotely. The software has two applications: the Server and the Client; the first being composed of an embedded Modbus TCP/IP Server into the PLC and a Web server which allows students to access the remote laboratory. The second component is integrated by a group of Java applets to control and monitor the system and also allows the students to visualize real time images through an IP camera.
