Resumen
THIS PAPER DESCRIBES A SERIES OF EXPERIENCES IN AUTOMATION CONTROL THAT CAN BE CARRIED OUT BY USING A REMOTE LABORATORY SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED AT THE UNIVERSIDAD DEL BÍO-BÍO (UBB). REMOTE LABORATORIES ARE INCREASINGLY USED BY UNIVERSITIES TO PERFORM THE PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES, ESPECIALLY FOR CONTROL ENGINEERING EDUCATION. THIS METHOD ALLOWS USING THE LABORATORY RESOURCES MORE EFFICIENTLY, AS IT GROWTHS THE AVAILABILITY UP TO 24 HOURS A DAY, REQUIRES NO EXTRA TIME TO PRACTICE ASSEMBLE, AND ALLOWS TO SHARE EXPENSIVE RESOURCES WITH MANY STUDENTS GEOGRAPHICALLY SEPARATED FROM THE LABORATORY SETUP. THE AIM OF THIS CONTRIBUTION IS TO SHOW, WITH PRACTICAL EXAMPLES, THE POTENTIAL OF THIS METHODOLOGY APPLIED TO THE TEACHING OF AUTOMATIC CONTROL AT THE UBB WITH THE REMOTE LABORATORY SYSTEMS (?SISTEMA DE LABORATORIOS DISTANCIA?, SLD) DEVELOPED PRELIMINARILY IN THE UNIVERSIDAD CENTRAL DE LAS VILLAS, CUBA. A SCALE MODEL OF COUPLED TANKS MADE UP BY THE FEEDBACK INSTRUMENTS COMPANY WAS INCORPORATED TO THE SLD AT THE UBB. THUS, A SERIES OF LEVEL CONTROL EXPERIENCES WERE DESIGNED TO VALIDATE THE PROPORTIONAL, INTEGRAL, AND DERIVATIVE ACTIONS EFFECTS OF CLASSIC PID CONTROLLERS. IN ADDITION, EXPERIENCES TO SHOW THE NECESSITY OF SOME PRACTICAL CHANGES ON THE CLASSICAL PID WERE ALSO DEVELOPED AS SENSED VARIABLES FILTERING, ANTI-WINDUP CORRECTION, AND DERIVATIVE ACTION FILTERING.
