Abstract

Applications of Information Technology in Process Control range from control educational tools to real process control. Advantages are related to an increase in flexibility for engineers (specially interesting for industrial operators training in new techniques), a decrease in maintenance and supervision costs and a best managing and performance of the plant. This paper presents a straightforward and simple approach for the remote control and simulation of real processes using Matlab and Quanser Consulting tools. Different examples and applications are shown.
