Remote access for education and control of mechatronics systems

Applied training is important in mechatronics engineering, a multidisciplinary science. Laboratory practice should be done theoretical training to be efficient. Expert trainers are required for mechatronics education which is a complex science. In this study, a network infrastructure is made for education and control of modular production system which is a mechatronics system. The structure was applied to mechatronics laboratory where is Trakya University Ipsala Vocational School. In this way, an educator will provide the education of trainees, from any location with internet. Also, a modular production system can be controlled remotely. (C) 2015 The Authors.
