Remote control of electromagnetic load emulator for electric motors

This paper presents equipment and application for remote control of electromagnetic load emulator. Emulator is dedicated for testing of electrical motors in laboratory environment. It can emulate different kinds of loads which can be found in industrial environment like pumps, funs, conveyors, elevators etc. The working principle of electromagnetic emulator is based on electromagnetic induction. Emulator control is realized with CompactRIO controller that has a web server so it can be accessed remotely. Programming is done via LabVIEW software.
