Abstract

This paper introduces a solution for integrating environment systems on teaching platforms using two components: communication and primary control. The communication relies on a bus and specific protocol. The primary control algorithms were implemented in MATLAB-SIMULINK environment, while using Siemens S7-1200 PLC as acquisition server and some regular PC as a client, communicating to each other through the Mudbugs-TCP protocol. The teaching platform is represented by the double water tank system ASTANK2, after being equipped with sensors and actuators.
