Abstract:
The aim of this article is to present a method to control a didactic bench containing a frequency converter, a programmable logic controller PLC and an electric motor. To achieve the proposed objective, a computer equipped with surveillance software and a digital camera control these devices, making it possible to view and track all actions that occur on the bench. The bench controller computer is connected by internet to other computers, physically far from each other, and has a communication software that allows remote users to monitor and interact with processes running on the bench. This method opens the opportunity for distance learning, where students can interact with remote experiences and no longer as a passive user.
