Abstract :
Describes the realization of a remote laboratory of automatic control developed at the University of Siena. The Automatic Control Telelab (ACT) allows the on-line interaction between remote users and a set of remote physical processes through the Internet. The key feature of this project is the user-defined controller facility. The remote user can design his/her own controller through the well-known Simulink environment. The overall architecture of the Automatic Control Telelaboratory has been designed with the goal of simplifying the upgrading procedure and the procedures to add new experiments
