Concept of Deployment of the Elements of Industrial Automation in the Design of Real Remote Experiments

Abstract

Active use of the Internet in education has stimulated and influenced the process of establishment of remote laboratories with installed real experiments that become real remote experiments after connection to the Internet and their subsequent launching. Design and operation of remote experiments has been influenced by particular level of development in the area of informationcommunication technologies and by the systems for control and administration of the observed physical phenomenon or technical principle. In this contribution we deal with the issue of construction solution for remote experiments from the point of view of possible approaches and also with the related issues that appear when controlling and administrating one´s own remote experiment. Authors introduce new, so far unapplied technical solution for control and administration of experiments with the elements of industrial automation. They compare advantages of the abovementioned concept with so called older systems. Possibilities that are being brought by the new concept hand in hand with the advantages resulting from its deployment offer not only another construction alternative for constructers of remote experiments, but also enrichment of technical solutions with new, so far unrealizable elements.
