A remote induction motor bench into an industrial environment is presented in this paper. It lets a powerful way of studying new identification, control or predictive maintenance algorithms independently the place where the methods are implemented. The World-Wide-Web (WWW), as the fastest growing Internet service, is seen as an effective tool for this propose. In effect, the Web is a distributed multimedia environment, which potentially can provide this service. This paper describes the hardware and software constructs, which facilitate the experiment remotely and efficiently.
