Abstract

Remote laboratories for motion control are valuable tools for teaching mechatronics students since they represent various industrial applications. Applications of advanced control algorithms in remote laboratories are rarely described in literature. Their real time implementation in FPGA environment is a complex and time-consuming task. This paper describes the National Instruments LabVIEW utilisation in such a remote laboratory, where H-infinity control algorithms are successfully implemented. Its main focus is on the functionality of the remote application and its graphical user interface.
