Remote control temperature chamber for virtual laboratory

This paper presents on a virtual instrumentation developed in controlling a temperature chamber. Virtual instrumentation is a cross disciplinary area that combines both hardware and software technologies in creating a sophisticated instrument that flexible for control and monitoring. NI LabVIEW is the remote control of the temperature by adjusting the heat emitting light and fan in order to achieve the desire temperature. To have the desire output without the steady state error, the proportional gain (Kc), integral time (Ti) and derivative time (Td) were calculated. This project is to develop a virtual instrumentation using LabVIEW that aim to investigate the performance of the LabVIEW in monitoring and control in a system. By creating this system, the system project become flexible and the measurement for its systems can be monitored using personal computer and internet browser.
