With the advent of IoT, a large number of devices are now being connected tothe web for data collection, management, and control [1, 2, 3, 4]. As a subset of IoT, remotelaboratories allow to access laboratory equipment over the web to perform experiments. Atraditional remote laboratory system involves a full-scale computer system along withassociated interfacing and web hosting technologies, but sometimes there is significantoverhead for the initial commission and subsequent maintenance of a remote laboratorysystem [5, 6].

complete the labs on generator control, students need to know about pulse width modulation (PWM) circuits and feedback systems. While DC generators may not be the most likely machine a practicing engineer will encounter, it is felt that they provide students with a simpler introduction to machines and controllers as compared to AC or DC motors. The topic of DC generator voltage control leads naturally to DC motor speed control, AC generator voltage control and finally AC motor speed control. Recent student surveys indicate that they are satisfied with the course and that they have a grasp of the material.1 IntroductionThe typical electrical engineering course in electric rotating machinery and energy
