Internet Based Boiler Drum Level Control System Using LabVIEW

Abstract

An Internet based boiler drum level control system is developed, which enables the students for deeper understanding of the boiler theory, the real experiences on design and implementation of control system. In this work, remote accessed virtual laboratory for 3 types of control of boiler is established using the internal model control (IMC) method. The student can access the remote laboratory and perform experiments without any limitation of time and location by using internet. They can also observe the system performance by changing the set point of the experiment and evaluate the results. Internet based laboratory is costeffective.
