Development and Production of Training Network Smart Control Systems

The quality of education directly affects the level of qualifications of graduates of higher education institutions. One of the most important factors is the practical experience gained during training. Unfortunately, most of the students of technical directions in the field of automation do not have the opportunity to gain practical experience of working with new equipment and, as a result, they do not have the skills to develop and manage modern automated control systems. This is influenced by several factors - the lack of Russian solutions in this area and the high cost of analogues offered by foreign companies. In this paper, the authors demonstrate their experience in developing highly specialized training stands and general-purpose stands. Step by step this process is described from design to ready-made smart automated control systems with accompanying documentation. The designed stands have sufficient flexibility and modifiability for use in a wide class of educational tasks.
