Virtual Tools Used to Study the Electrical Equipment Operating Modes

Abstract

Along with the rapid technological development in recent years, it is necessary to find rapid methods of application type for training future professionals in several branches of industry. In this paper is presented in detail both hardware and software a laboratory stand for an interactive training of future professionals in the fields related to virtual instrumentation in terms of data acquisition, processing and display in a form as explicit and easy to understanding of the results. The entire system was created using a Modbus communication protocol and the software application was created in the LabVIEW graphics development environment. The application has multiple applicability in several types of data downloads or measurements of several parameters. From the point of view of the addressability of this stand, auxiliary tools have been created to better understand the phenomena and processes to be studied in the training flow of future professionals in the field of virtual instrumentation. Built in the form of an interactive application, it offers the opportunity for future professionals to benefit from a complete training starting from studying the theoretical part of a laboratory work, visualizing the implementation schemes and making measurements that are then used to make different analyzes of results.
