Abstract

The Internet has evolved into an environment for developing almost all kinds of applications. This paper presents the implementation of a web-based laboratory experiment on a 'Coupled Tank Apparatus', a MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output) system, using TCP (Transmission Control Protocol ) for communication. The web-based laboratory has been developed to serve undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical Engineering at NUS (The National University of Singapore). The control strategies adopted include: manual control, the use of PID (Proportional Integral Differential) controller, a general state-space controller, as well as fuzzy controller. The implementation uses video conferencing to provide fast and point-to-point visual feedback to the client, on the happenings in the laboratory and also allows users to control the zoom and viewing angle of the video. This web-based remote labs can be accessed at vlab.ee.nus.edu.sg/vlab/control/.
