Remote control of industrial processes

Abstract

This paper proposes and describes an application of remote control for an industrial process. A control program implemented on a PC using the Java language allows for easy prototyping of a fuzzy logic controller. The PC is connected through a data acquisition card to a laboratory process (used in a control teaching laboratory). The fuzzy controller is easily setup and adjusted, allowing for the control of the process. The Java implementation conceptually permits a portable and remote measurement and control approach for any industrial process.
