  1. Remote Control and Reconfiguration of Laboratories for Education and TrainingVienna (Austria) – Perm (Russia) Olga Plaksina plaxina@ict.tuwien.ac.at

  2. Overview • Remote Labs @ ICT: advantages • Teaching & Remote Control • asix4web • SmartKitchen • BACnet Remote Laboratory • BACnet @ ICT • Remote Laboratory Model • Interfacing with I/O Olga Plaksina

  3. Remote Labs @ ICT: Advantages • Flexibility for students • Own timetables within the general course schedule • Relief for instructors • No fixed attendance time • No special course rooms • More effective use of expensive equipment • Availability both for full-time students and distant trainees Olga Plaksina

  4. Overview • Remote Labs @ ICT: advantages • Teaching & Remote Control • asix4web • SmartKitchen • BACnet Remote Laboratory • BACnet @ ICT • Remote Laboratory Model • Interfacing with I/O Olga Plaksina

  5. Asix4web Remote FPGA Prototype Board • Terms • ASIC = Application Specific Integrated Circuit • FPGA = Field-programmable Gate Arrays • Purpose • A Web-Accessible Test Hardware Environment for ASIC Designs • Target Group: students & beginners in ASIC design • Software simulation could be too slow or insufficient • Real hardware could be too expensive Olga Plaksina

  6. BEFORE Download Tutorials Software Templates Examples Testing facility at University only Asix4web Remote FPGA Prototype Board AFTER Olga Plaksina

  7. Smart Kitchen: concept • Network enabled equipment • Refrigerator, coffee-machine etc. • Sensors • Data acquisition • Actuators • Appropriate reaction to scenarios • Remote monitoring & control • Environment visualization • Database web-interface • Web-camera Olga Plaksina

  8. Smart Kitchen: interfaces • OPC • Field level – higher levels interface • Data exchange between nodes (fieldbus) and applications (PC) • i.LON • LoNWorks – Ethernet interface • Remote access • read/change current state of variables Olga Plaksina

  9. Overview • Remote Labs @ ICT: advantages • Teaching & remote control • asix4web • SmartKitchen • BACnet Remote Laboratory • BACnet @ ICT • Remote Laboratory Model • Interfacing with I/O Olga Plaksina

  10. Building Automation Lab @ ICT • Goal • Convenient and on-going building automation training – also interactive! • Technologies • BACnet along with LonWorks & EIB • BACnet • Hardware • Typical mechanical and electrical equipment used for climate control • Multi-vendor installation • Software • OPC, Hethereal etc. Olga Plaksina

  11. Remote Lab Model • Entire theoretical course • Lecture notes & respective literature • Programming languages descriptions • Algorithms & documentation • Examination quiestions • Virtual laboratory • “Modular” architecture • Look-and-feel design • Web-cam feedback • Interfacing with I/O Olga Plaksina

  12. Remote Lab Architecture • Web-server • e-Library • Users database • Authentication & Redirection mechanisms • VNC-server = “Technology server” • Local software tools, appropriate for given lab setup • Network configuration • Code uploads • System debugging • VNC-client = End User • Java-applets enabled Olga Plaksina

  13. Interaction with I/O Stimulation of hardware inputs e. g. simulate a keystroke on an evaluation board Measuring of outputs Read analog outputs of stand modules Interfacing with I/O • Modular concept • Web-server on embedded systems • I/O = stackable modules • Features • Plain HTTP • Versatile for various lab setups • Simple configuration Olga Plaksina

  14. Summary • Purpose • Distance courses for students • Professional trainings for engineers in industry • Flexibility both for trainees and educators • Remote Lab Model: web-based approach • VNC client-server modular architecture • Gateway to control I/O Olga Plaksina
