In this paper, we propose a solution for monitoring the environmental parameters regarding air quality. After the data is acquired with the help of air quality sensors, they are sent using a LoRa type radio communication to a higher hierarchical level where it is processed and potential alerts for exceeding certain critical thresholds of the values can be issued. The whole autonomous system can be located in an industrial hall and in the test phase it has an autonomy of about eight hours. The monitoring equipment consists of sensors connected to LoRa modules. The communication between the sensors and these modules is done through a standard serial protocol. LoRa modules send data to a gateway system using a LoRaWAN protocol. This flexible structure represents a concept of hardware and software development that presents the possibility of being integrated into the national air quality monitoring network.

Using the capabilities of the Web servers and the LabVIEW software it can be possible to train users into a virtual lab.

The traffic intensity is measured using the transducers based on sonar principle. The acquired data are local stored into a local data logger and simultaneous are transmitted via radio communication to a dedicated server. The novelty of this system is represented by the communication facility provided by the new LoRa technology. Also, it is highlights that this system is mobile and it is not invasive on the road structure.

In this paper, we propose a solution for the monitoring of the environmental parameters with the local acquisition through specific environmental and movement sensors and data transmission to a higher hierarchical level through the use of MODBUS communications. A flexible hardware structure and software development concept are presented to offer local information and to be integrated into an environmental quality monitoring network.

Once the data is acquired using air quality sensors, it is sent using a higherlevel LoRa radio communication, where it is processed and potential alerts can be issued to exceed certain critical value thresholds. Monitoring environmental parameters in industrial assets which are potential sources of pollution, especially in the mining decommissioned or closed, it is very important to prevent environmental accidents and to ensure a good working environment for workers in a factory located in that area. The entire autonomous system can be located in an industrial hall and in the testing phase has an autonomy of about eight hours.

The general output variable of this actuator can be angular speed or angular displacement motion, but, coupled with wheels or drums and cables, can provide translation motion. This paper proposes a state±space model of the DC motor built for constant flux and considering two inputs: supply voltage and resistive torque. The three states of the resulting model are represented by angular speed, angular displacement and current supply and any of these states can be an output variable for a simulation model. Consequently, the system's model has two inputs and three outputs. For the system's simulation a VI is built where the most important element is a Matlab script which contains the matrices A, B, C, D of the state-space model, the independent variable time and the Matlab simulation function lsim. The motor's parameters are given by digital controls on the panel so that these parameters can be...

The three states of the resulted model are represented by angular speed, angular displacement, and current supply and either of these states can be an output variable for the simulation model. Consequently, the system’s model has two inputs and three outputs. Using this model, LabVIEW functions and programming structure a simulator based on the virtual instrument is built, through which is possible to observe the dynamic characteristics of the DC motor in different operating conditions. In this way, students can verify, by simulation, the operation of the DC motor as a dynamic system observing and measuring its reaction in different operating conditions.
