Distance Control Tool Design for Laboratory Experiment Sets

摘要

In this paper, it is aimed to control experiment sets in laboratories not only at university but also anywhere students are able to reach internet connection. It is a problem for students to repeat the experiment away from laboratories which is important for permanent learning. In actual laboratory environment student can only use experiment sets at university. The tool, electronic control card connected to a computer, makes a bridge from computer to experiment set via internet. A server and client application runs the system with requests and answers. User interfaces can be designed specially to make a best compliance for experiment. Distance control tool is suitable for general experiment sets. Designed tool was tested on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) experiment set in laboratory and achieved success.
