Remote measurement in electrical engineering laboratories power measurement in electrical drive system, synchronization of stepper motors

The remote access and diagnostics are very common in modern industrial system. Some of them use own proper system, some others use public standards, web based visualization or virtual network computing VNC. On Technical university of Liberec we would like to enhance education in combined, distant study form. The most of the students are experienced people which would like to increase their knowledge in their field of interest or enhance the knowledge in wider range. The main idea for education of those people is usage of programmable logical controller to handle the laboratory task and allow them to do the measurement remotely by their own. In the paper there are several examples how to create or modify laboratory tasks in this way.
