Industrial Automatic Control Systems and Controllers Annotation << Back Virtual laboratory benches: teaching industrial automation tasks programming ZubinV.E., Kalughin A.A. The application of a virtual laboratory bench for teaching control algorithms programming in industrial automation is discussed. A virtual laboratory bench implemented on the basis of LabVIEW development environment is a COTS application comprising visual and dynamic simulation of a process plant as well as the tools for control algorithm design and execution. Reflex language (a dialect of C) is used for programming. The implementation of control algorithms is based on Python’s interpreter routine. E-mail: zyubin@iae.nsk.su
