Abstract :
This article presents a fieldbus simulation platform and its remote access interface that enables a wide range of experiments where users can configure operation sequences and procedures typical of Foundation Fieldbus systems. The simulation system is developed using LabVIEW with requisites of deterministic execution and a course management work frame web server called Moodle. The evaluation tests were conducted to verify the simulation performance as well as the system usability.
