Digital Twin Based Laboratory for Control Engineering Education

The Covid-19 pandemic has made online learning the main choice in modes. For control engineering education that requires substantial laboratory practices as part of process, is a challenge itself. It difficult for students to gain experience and understanding physical phenomena through learning. Two approaches are commonly used provide experiences resembles traditional laboratory, namely virtual remote laboratory. drawback simulation eliminate interaction aspect with devices make miss mental dealing objects important students, while high cost less flexible. This paper proposes another approach overcome shortcomings by utilizing technology known Digital Twin. Twin based provides digital or twin system interconnected one via internet. interconnection its preserve also increase flexibility Preliminary implementation experiments show propose works properly. Users able manipulate real plant remotely, observe almost identical dynamics 3D visualization plant.
