Abstract
Educational methods have changed significantly in recent years. In this sense, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase of remote teaching. Specifically, laboratory practices with real systems are essential in the field of engineering. The lack of physical plants and the implementation of Blended Learning experiences force the development of emulated laboratory plants. This work proposes a new approach with the identification and implementation of a specific section of an enhanced level control plant located at the Polytechnic Engineering School of Ferrol, using a low-cost embedded system. In this case, the solution is equipped with an improved design of a synoptic visualization of the plant developed with a Node-RED application. This emulation allows students to attend practice lessons of control subjects remotely by means of flexible hardware and software tools.
