Title Of Article :
A modular laboratory for process control
and process engineering
Latin Abstract :
A modular laboratory to support process control and process engineering teaching has been designed and commissioned. The
Instrumentation and Control Laboratory in the School of Engineering, Murdoch University, is unique in that it contains no fixed
experiments. Rather, an experiment is constructed for a particular teaching concept from the range of process modules available.
After use, the experiment is disconnected, and its components used for other experiments or returned to a store. This modular
approach has allowed great flexibility in the construction of experiments to meet current learning objectives, while proving very cost
effective. The reuse of equipment has avoided duplication and provided a much higher usage factor, allowing a wider menu of
experiments for less investment. The other unique aspect of the laboratory is its centralised data acquisition and control system in
which every measurement and control signal is linked to a central server and then made available across a network.
