Abstract

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are widely used for industrial control applications. Developing programming skills with these devices is essential for students of electrical engineering, and also for professionals wanting to learn new skills. Whilst programming is performed using software development tools, it is essential that learners have access to real hardware to test these programs in a realistic context. This paper introduces a PLC laboratory architecture and discusses how the experiment is integrated into two existing remote laboratory environments, namely GOLDi (Grid of Online Lab Devices Ilmenau) and RALfie (Remote Access Laboratories for Fun, Innovation and Education). The different approaches are compared in detail.
