“…Due to the extraordinary circumstances caused by COVID-19, and from February 24, 2022, and the martial law in Ukraine, various alternatives to face-to-face classes, online platforms for learning practical work, and modeling of mechatronic systems 31 , such as Autodesks, are becoming increasingly popular. Tinkercad (for Arduino programming and modeling), Factory I/O (for training and modeling of production line automation processes), FluidSIM (for studying and modeling pneumatic, electropneumatic and hydraulic systems) 32,33 .…”

Mechatronic systems of electropneumatic automation are one of the main classes of industrial automation systems. A laboratory stand for the study of the mechatronic system of automatic control of the pneumatic manipulator and a computer model for preliminary experiments on the adjustment of the automatic control system were developed. Manual and software control modes are provided for research of indicators of safety and quality of management in both modes. To implement the software control mode, a microcontroller part of the laboratory stand based on ADuC841 was developed, with the help of which it is possible to simulate a part of a certain technological process, to detect and eliminate faults in the automatic control system. A study of automatic control systems using a traditional relay-contactor control system, based on GrafCet technology and using a virtual controller. The combination of computer modeling of technological processes and physical modeling of executive mechanisms is a kind of digital double that displays its state, parameters and behavior in real time. The use of a laboratory stand in combination with an adequate simulation model reduces the complexity of developing control systems for practical applications, and also contributes to the formation of students' creative component, ability to analyze the results, and make decisions in unusual situations, which will increase their theoretical and practical training. The study of mechatronic systems of pneumatic manipulators will allow to increase their efficiency and productivity, to optimize their speed and accuracy for various applications in production. The interaction of mechatronic systems of pneumatic manipulators with other technologies, such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, IoT is the basis for creating more integrated and intelligent systems.

“…En (Mohammed, et al, 2020) los autores proponen el uso del servicio VNC (Lab, 1998) para ofrecer a los estudiantes el acceso remoto a equipos ubicados en las universidades y poder realizar medición de cargas eléctricas a través de LabView y unidades de medición conectadas a ellos. También se ha reportado el uso de recursos simulados de acceso remoto para el desarrollo de actividades de experimentación; por ejemplo, en (Khant, et al, 2021) los autores presentan el uso de la herramienta web Tinkercad para la enseñanza de los sistemas embebidos en tiempos de pandemia; en (Delgado, et al, 2020) los autores presentan el uso de las herramientas Tinkercad, FluidSIM, Factory I/O y Overleaf para el desarrollo de prácticas de laboratorio en cursos de mecatrónica; en (Canesche, et al, 2021) los autores presentan el uso de la herramienta Google Colab junto con varias extensiones para el desarrollo de prácticas de diseño digital y lenguajes de descripción de hardware lo que muestra el uso de herramientas de acceso remoto para el desarrollo de actividades prácticas en ingeniería.…”

El aislamiento obligatorio decretado por el gobierno a inicios del 2020, debido al covid-19, hizo que las universidades dieran paso a estrategias de formación remotas asistidas por tecnología. Las actividades prácticas en los cursos de ingeniería se vieron afectadas por la imposibilidad de acceder a los laboratorios en las universidades imponiendo la necesidad de nuevas formas de hacer experimentación. Este artículo presenta el desarrollo de cuatro recursos remotos, propuestos por el área de automática de la Universidad del Valle, para llevar a cabo actividades de experimentación de sistemas de control en tiempos de pandemia. Los recursos hacen uso de distintas herramientas, entre ellas Matlab y las minicomputadoras Raspberry Pi, para la generación de un ambiente de simulación de procesos que puede ser accedido a través de internet. Estos recursos se usaron en tres cursos de sistemas de control para estudiantes de Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica de la Universidad del Valle con un recibimiento preliminar aceptable.

Some of the most critical competencies students need to acquire to become control engineers require performing practices under actual industrial conditions. This means that they must not only master the theoretical aspects of the discipline but also acquire skills and attitudes to face unpredictable real-world situations. Software tools such as Matlab/Simulink are widely used to train the design and validation of controllers, but they fail to provide real industrial contexts. Nowadays, there are 3D simulation tools that support recreating industrial environments to a remarkable extent, making them very attractive for university courses. Nevertheless, their application in engineering courses is scarce yet. This paper presents a methodological framework for seizing into competency-based courses one of these simulation tools, called Factory I/O. Our approach was evaluated in a master’s course on Industrial PID Control at Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso (PUCV) in Chile. The evaluation comprised the qualitative analysis of students’ grades over four consecutive course editions and the qualitative study of students’ opinion on Factory I/O educational value. The objectives of our evaluation were (i) testing if Factory I/O helped students develop skills hard to practice in academic contexts, such as detecting faults or recognizing the importance of having well-defined operation protocols; (ii) validating our methodology for competency-based courses; and (iii) surveying our students about Matlab/Simulink and Factory I/O strengths/weaknesses to teach control engineering. According to the results, (a) Factory I/O complements Simulink by providing an adequate virtual environment to learn the aforementioned skills; and (b) our methodology supports courses’ continuous improvement through the statistical analysis of students’ achievements at different abstraction levels.
