Integration of new control experiments to online environment

An online laboratory system in the area of control engineering should provide a way to test control algorithms on a variety of devices using multiple simulation environments. The online laboratory system solution described in this paper, builds on this functionality and enhances it even more. It allows its users to declare variables inside their block diagrams, upload them to the system and later initialize them within the system's user interface. The aim of this paper is to provide an outline of this system connected to a thermo-opto-mechanic device, which was designed for control algorithm verification and remote control education. The uploaded block diagrams can be created using both MATLAB 2018b and Scilab 6.0.1 software. The emphasis is put on passing the arguments defined by the user to the simulation schema controlling the device.
