Methodology for Testing of a Drive System with Remote Monitoring and Control

Abstract A laboratory drive system with remote monitoring and control has been designed and built. An asynchronous motor controlled by a soft starter and remote monitoring and control by contemporary devices has been provided. This laboratory system is used for research and in teaching. In this paper, methodology of tests is developed. Some examinations are presented. Thus an experimental verification of the developed methodology is carried out. Systems for remote monitoring and control on energy consumption, efficiency and proper operation of the controlled objects are very often used in different spheres of industry, building automation, transport, electricity distribution network, etc. The optimal solution for each particular case could be achieved but a complex research and testing have to be previously performed using the developed methodology.
