Online Control of TOS1A Thermo-Optical Plant Using OpenModelica

The paper describes remote approach to the control of thermo-optical plant. The attention is devoted to the open solution that is based on the OpenModelica simulation environment. The plant enables to control two variables: temperature and light intensity. Both of them can be influenced by the user, using a graphical user interface via a web browser. The user can run both the open and the closed loop experiment, as well. In the second case the predefined PI controller and the own control algorithm can be used. The graphical presentation of plant variables is constantly updated via server-sent events.
