“…Improved students accessibility to practical and experimental analysis raises the interest in the development of virtual laboratories. The applications of virtual laboratories in engineering education are being widely studied, and thus, there exist in literature many works in this line [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Those studies use various approaches and are developed using different architectures.…”

This paper presents a hardware and software architecture for the development of educational laboratories, through the connection of real Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to industrial virtual plants. In addition, to illustrate the use of the proposed architecture, two laboratories based on a bottling plant and the automatic irrigation process of a greenhouse using Modicon M340 PLCs of Schneider have been developed. Moreover, real feedback results from students of the Bachelor degree in agricultural engineering degrees are provided and analyzed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc Comput Appl Eng Educ 24:335–346, 2016; View this article online at http://www.wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/cae; DOI

This article presents a practical communications course focused on the CANopen field bus. The learning platform is composed by four nodes with real industrial devices, common in automation applications. The course has been put into practice by the CITCEA-UPC in collaboration with Schneider Electric Spain. The course is devised both for university students and industry professionals. The problem proposed to the students is the configuration of a CANopen bus and the automation of a machine movement sequence. ß
