The experimentation laboratories for the studies of control system courses can become expensive, either in its acquisition, operation or maintenance. An alternative resource have been the remote laboratories. However, not always is possible to get complex systems. A solution to this matter are the remote emulation laboratories. In this paper describes the development of a Web application for the emulation of dynamic systems using a free-distribution software tool of rapid control prototyping based on Linux/RTAI. This application is focused especially for the experimentation with dynamic systems that are not available easily in a laboratory where the model have been configured by the user. The design of the front-end and the back-end are presented. The latency times of the real-time operating system and the ability of the system to reproduce similar signals to a real system from an emulated model were verified. An example, to test the functionality of the application the model of an evaporator was used. One of the advantages of the application is the work methodology which is based on the development of blocks in Scicos. This allows the user to reuse those parameters and the code that was implemented to build a block on the Scicos toolbox with the Linux/RTAI/ScicosLab environment. Moreover, only a web-browser and the Java Virtual Machine are required.

Keywords : experimentation tool; emulation of dynamic systems; real-time simulators; RTAI.
