Description: Server including remote experiments on different plants (motor, magnetic levitation, helicopter, LEGO robot, tanks). It allows the introduction of control code developed by the user and even contemplates the realization of system identification practices and competitions among students. The lab also includes the simulation of some system like a 2 DOF helicopter.

Description: DYNAST is a software package for efficient and easy modeling, simulation and analysis of multidisciplinary nonlinear dynamic systems. Dynamic multipole models that can be set up in DYNAST in a graphical form characterize directly the real configuration of dynamic systems. The multipole models, however, can be combined with equations and block diagrams. DYNAST not only solves nonlinear algebro-differential equations, but also automatically formulates them for the multipole models. So there is no need to form any equations, block diagrams, or bond graphs. DYNAST is also able to linearize the models and to provide their semisymbolic analysis in time- and frequency-domains. In the web site, also solved examples and a course on dynamics of control systems are accessible

Description: The overall objective of this internet-based tool is to provide fundamental aspects regarding GRAFCET presented with animated examples, promoting students self-learning. While originally this tool was developed to be used by Portuguese speakers, now it is also available in English. A very important feature of e-GRACFCET+, is to be prepared to work on most devices regardless of operating systems and screen sizes, such as smart-phones and tablets.

Description: Applets designed as an aid to the study of certain aspects of the theory of continuous and discrete signals and systems (Fourier transform, convolution, filtering, sampling, aliasing, etc.) explained in the book Signal and Sytems. Also there are experiments for control theory like poles placement, root locus, or relation between frequency an time.
