AB In this paper the design and implementation of a network for integrating ProgrammableLogic Controllers (PLC), the Object-Linking and Embedding for Process Control protocol (OPC) andthe open-source Easy Java Simulations (EJS) package is presented. A LabVIEW interface and theJava-Internet-LabVIEW (JIL) server complete the scheme for data exchange. This configuration allowsthe user to remotely interact with the PLC. Such integration can be considered a novelty in scientificliterature for remote control and sensor data acquisition of industrial plants. An experimentalapplication devoted to remote laboratories is developed to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits ofthe proposed approach. The experiment to be conducted is the parameterization and supervisionof a fuzzy controller of a DC servomotor. The graphical user interface has been developed with EJSand the fuzzy control is carried out by our own PLC. In fact, the distinctive features of the proposednovel network application are the integration of the OPC protocol to share information with the PLCand the application under control. The user can perform the tuning of the controller parametersonline and observe in real time the effect on the servomotor behavior. The target group is engineeringremote users, specifically in control- and automation-related tasks. The proposed architecture systemis described and experimental results are presented.
