The virtual laboratory on cybernetics illustrates main results of the paper. Development of an educational tool in LabVIEW and its integration in remote laboratory of automatic control

The increase of educational activities in automatic control, based on the use of virtual and remote laboratories, is already a fact. For that reason, it is necessary to include and update educational contents in agreement with the technological reality. This implies the development of methods to integrate new educational tools in the aforementioned laboratories in an easy, secure and flexible way. This paper shows how to integrate an educational tool developed in LabVIEW, widely used software, into the structure of our remote laboratory (LRA-ULE). The educational tool provides students with a control problem on a physical system where they need to design a PID regulator. They can also simulate its closed-loop behavior and identify the system in order to compare it with the theoretical model.
