3D Model of the Thermo-Opto-Mechanical Plant for Use in Control Education

The paper describes a 3D model of thermo-opto-mechanical system and its development using a suitable modeling tool. The model is based on TOM1A real plant placed in the laboratory. It also describes integration of the model into the online virtual laboratory portal. The behaviour of the model is simulated on the base of block schema created in Scilab simulation software. The developed portal enables to define parameters of the model and controller that can be changed by user. Results of the simulation are represented by the model animation and in graph, which is part of application.
