Development of remote laboratory for temperature control frequency response analysis

Abstract

Control System Theory is a compulsory subject to be taken by engineering students in various disciplines. However to relate the theoretical knowledge with the real control system application is very challenging in a conventional faced to faced pedagogy due to the time, facilities, cost and location constraint. This paper discusses the design and implementation of a web based to support theoretical knowledge during lecture session. This project uses the capabilities of LabVIEW software and data acquisition card to obtain the measurement of the actual hardware in the and make it available through the web. As a result, instructors are able to demonstrate the integration of theoretical knowledge and actual application through web-based experiments with a significant reduced in time requirement and cost.
