    Physics Experiments at the UNEDLabs Portal
    (International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES), 2012-01-22) Dormido Canto, Sebastián; Sánchez, José; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Heradio Gil, Rubén; Carreras, Carmen; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Pedro; Yuste, Manuel
    UNEDLabs is a web portal based on a free, modern, open source, and well-known learning management system: Moodle. This portal joins two theme networks of virtual and remote laboratories (one for Control Engineering and another one for Physics, named AutomatL@bs and FisL@bs, respectively) together. AutomatL@bs has been operative for five years now. Following AutomatL@bsâ?? scheme, FisL@bs was created as a network of remote and virtual laboratories for physics university education via the Internet to offer students the possibility of performing hands-on experiences in different fields of physics in two ways: simulation and real remote operation. Now, both FisL@bs and AutomatL@bs join together (while maintaining their independency) into an unique new web portal called UNEDLabs. This work focuses on this new web environment and gives a detailed account of a novel way in Physics to let distance learning students gain practical experience autonomously. This paper explains how the new portal works and the software tools used for creating it. In addition, it also describes the physics experiments which are already operative.

    An event-based adaptation of the relay feedback experiment for frequency response identification of stable processes
    (Elsevier, 2023-04-13) Sánchez Moreno, José; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Chacón Sombría, Jesús; Dormido Canto, Sebastián; Elsevier; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0898-3462
    An event-based modification of the classical relay feedback experiment without the inclusion of additional elements (integrator, time delay, . . . ) for identification of the spectrum of stable processes between zero and the phase cross-over frequency is presented. By inserting an event-based sampler in the control loop, the natural behaviour of a classical relay is simulated and the system is forced to work in two modes. The event-based sampler activates the first mode by sending control actions to the process every time the error signal crosses zero; this mode is to discover the approximated value of the cross-over frequency ω180◦ . During the second mode, the event-based sampler sends samples to the process simulating that the error signal crosses zero at ω180◦ /N where N is the number of points to identify in the range 0 ≤ ω ≤ ω180◦ . One advantage of this procedure is that the logic used in an already existing relay feedback experiment to fit a transfer function model or tune a controller could be maintained just replacing the relay block by the event-based sampler block presented in the paper. Simulations and experiments with different processes and in presence of noise demonstrate the effectivity of the procedure.

    Obtaining high preventive and resilience capacities in critical infrastructure by industrial automation cells
    (Elsevier, 2020-06) González, Santiago G.; Dormido Canto, Sebastián; Sánchez Moreno, José
    The advances in Information Technologies (ITs) are providing Industrial Control Systems (ICS) with a great capacity for interconnection and adaptability. However, the use of communication networks makes ICS highly vulnerable. Consequently, it is essential to develop methodologies for the identification and subsequent classification of the ICS that intervene in critical infrastructure assets with any level of complexity, scalability and heterogeneity. The System and Infrastructure of Knowledge for Real Experimentation by means of Cells of Industrial Automation (SIKRECIA), described in this work, provides new capabilities for research, development, simulation and testing of the functioning of these systems, and the ability to foresee the behavior of a specific system in industrial production. The scenarios recreated through SIKRECIA have the ability to anticipate new threats that affect the ICS of critical infrastructures. Using SIKRECIA, a specific vulnerability of a PLC has been verified through the engineering programmed for the management of a traffic light control system. The results obtained demonstrate the high dependence between IT and OT (Operation Technologies) systems and therefore the importance of being able to recreate those environments before entering into operation. As SIKRECIA is an open system, it can use components from different industrial manufacturers to cover the existing architectures in the process industry.

    Open and Low-Cost Virtual and Remote Labs on Control Engineering
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-06-15) Sáenz Valiente, Jacobo; Chacón; Jesús; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Antonio Visioli; Dormido Canto, Sebastián
    This paper presents an open course in the University Network of Interactive Laboratories, which offers several virtual and remote laboratories on automatic control, accessible to anyone. All the details on one of these labs (a two electric coupled drives system that allows performing control practices in a 2 × 2 MIMO system with industrial applications) and the activities that can be performed with it are given. We use a low-cost solution for developing the virtual and remote labs shared in this open course, based on the use of a free authoring tool Easy Java/Javascript Simulations (EJsS) for building the laboratories' user interfaces and a cheap development platform board (BeagleBone Black). The virtual and remote labs are deployed into a free Learning Management System (Moodle) Web environment that facilitates their management and maintenance.

    Providing collaborative support to virtual and remote laboratories
    (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), 2013-06-04) Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Heradio Gil, Rubén; Jara, Carlos A.; Sanchez, Jose; Dormido Canto, Sebastián; Torres, Fernando; Candelas, Francisco A.
    Virtual and remote laboratories (VRLs) are e-learning resources that enhance the accessibility of experimental setups providing a distance teaching framework which meets the student's hands-on learning needs. In addition, online collaborative communication represents a practical and a constructivist method to transmit the knowledge and experience from the teacher to students, overcoming physical distance and isolation. This paper describes the extension of two open source tools: (1) the learning management system Moodle, and (2) the tool to create VRLs Easy Java Simulations (EJS). Our extension provides: (1) synchronous collaborative support to any VRL developed with EJS (i.e., any existing VRL written in EJS can be automatically converted into a collaborative lab with no cost), and (2) support to deploy synchronous collaborative VRLs into Moodle. Using our approach students and/or teachers can invite other users enrolled in a Moodle course to a real-time collaborative experimental session, sharing and/or supervising experiences at the same time they practice and explore experiments using VRLs.

    A linear equation based on signal increments to predict disruptive behaviours and the time to disruption on JET
    (IOP Publishing, 2019-12-13) Vega, J.; Murari, A.; Hernández del Olmo, Félix; Cruz, T.; Gadariya, Dhaval; Rattá, Giuseppe A.; Contributors, JET.; Dormido Canto, Sebastián
    This article describes the development of a generic disruption predictor that is also used as basic system to provide an estimation of the time to disruption at the alarm times. The mode lock signal normalised to the plasma current is used as input feature. The recognition of disruptive/non-disruptive behaviours is not based on a simple threshold of this quantity but on the evolution of the amplitudes between consecutive samples taken periodically. The separation frontier between plasma behaviours (disruptive/non-disruptive) is linear in such parameter space. The percentages of recognised and false alarms are 98% and 4%, respectively. The recognised alarms can be split into valid alarms (90%) and late detections (8%). The experimental distribution of warning times follows an exponential model with average warning time of 443 ms. On the other hand, the prediction of the time to the disruption has been fitted to a Weibull model that relates this predicted time to the distance of the points to the diagonal in the parameter space of consecutive samples. The model shows a very good agreement between predicted times and warning times in narrow time intervals (between 0.01 s and 0.06 s) before the disruption.

    Virtual and Remote Labs in Control Education: a Survey
    (Elsevier, 2016-11-14) Heradio Gil, Rubén; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Dormido Canto, Sebastián
    Virtual and remote labs have been around for almost twenty years and while they have been constantly gaining popularity since their appearance, there are still many people in the control education community who either do not know many details about them or do not know them at all. What are their benefits? Which examples of virtual and remote labs for control education can be found in the Internet and how spread and popular are they? What are the current trends and issues in the implementation and deployment of these tools? And the future ones? These and others are some of the questions we answer in this paper, trying to bring the attention of the control education community to these tools which, we believe, are meant to have an increasing importance and relevance for the 21st century students.

    The Ball and Beam System: A Case Study of Virtual and Remote Lab Enhancement With Moodle
    (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), 2015-06-10) Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Guinaldo Losada, María; Heradio Gil, Rubén; Dormido Canto, Sebastián
    Web-based labs are key tools for distance education that help to illustrate scientific phenomena, which require costly or difficult-to-assemble equipment. Easy Java Simulations (EJS) is an authoring tool that speeds up the creation of these kind of labs. An excellent proof of the EJS potential is the open source physics (OSP) repository, which hosts hundreds of free EJS labs. Learning management systems, such as Moodle, provide social contexts where students interact with each other. The work described in this paper looks for the synergy of both tools, EJS and Moodle, by supporting the deployment of EJS labs into Moodle and thus enriching them with social features (e.g., chat, forums, and videoconference). To test this approach, the authors have created the ball and beam lab, which helps students of automatic control engineering to train different advanced techniques (robust, fuzzy, and reset control), and compare their performance in relation to a conventional proportional-integral-derivative control.

    Two web-based laboratories of the FisL@bs network: Hooke's and Snell's laws
    (IOP Publishing; European Physical Society, 2011-02-09) Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Sánchez, José; Dormido Canto, Sebastián; Sánchez, J.P.; Yuste, M.; Carreras, C.
    FisL@bs is a network of remote and virtual laboratories for physics university education via the Internet that offers students the possibility of performing hands-on experiments in different fields of physics in two ways: simulation and real remote operation. This paper gives a detailed account of a novel way in physics in which distance learning students can gain practical experience autonomously. FisL@bs uses the same structure as AutomatL@bs, a network of virtual and remote laboratories for learning/teaching of control engineering, which has been in operation for four years. Students can experiment with the laboratories offered using an Internet connection and a Java-compatible web browser. This paper, specially intended for university educators but easily comprehensible even for undergraduate students, explains how the portal works and the hardware and software tools used to create it. In addition, it also describes two physics experiments already available: spring elasticity and the laws of reflection and refraction.

    Automated assessment and monitoring support for competency-based courses
    (IEEE Xplore, 2019-03-28) Vargas, Héctor; Heradio Gil, Rubén; Chacón, Jesús; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Farias, Gonzalo; Galán, Daniel; Dormido Canto, Sebastián
    Competency-based education is becoming increasingly adopted by higher education institutions all over the world. This paper presents a framework that assists instructors in this pedagogical paradigm and its corresponding open-source implementation. The framework supports the formal definition of competency assessment models and the students' evaluation under these models. It also provides distinct learning analytics for identifying course shortcomings and validating corrective actions instructors have introduced in a course. Finally, this paper reports the benefits of applying our framework to an engineering course at the Pontifical Catholic University, Valparaíso, Chile for three years.
