摘要：AbstractTraditionally, online control education labs are designed and implemented with the purpose of teaching on a specific topic: controller tuning, stability, etc. These tools usually have a monolithic design: there is a strong binding between the model and the control. Usually, there is a built-in controller that may have a set of modifiable parameters, but the controller itself cannot be changed. Also, it cannot be easily translated to other system, for example to compare the performance. In other words, the system subject of study is not very configurable, which unnecessarily constrains the possibilities of these tools. Though this approach may be adequate for some situations, it would be interesting to have more flexible and versatile online laboratories, for instance, in Master courses, where students are expected to design and test advanced control laws. This paper proposes a new paradigm to develop such tools. An element has been deployed and allows the dynamic execution of scripts written in different programming languages, such as Java, Javascript, or Matlab. The final aim is to provide students with a tool to promote an active participation in the practice, writing their own controller code and freely experimenting with the system. The paradigm is illustrated with some examples of these new generation online laboratories.
