Software implementation of a virtual laboratory bench for distance learning

The article discusses the functional development and integration into the educational process of a virtual laboratory stand, with the aim of digitalizing the educational processes of higher education without loss as educational services related to the completeness of mastering professional competencies in specialized engineering courses. The developed laboratory stand allows simulating technological processes implemented in an apparatus consisting of four connected tanks. Modeling such a complex technological process with many interconnected elements is necessary for the most detailed research and synthesis of automatic control systems for multiply connected objects. The program simulates two control loops, each of which can be switched to manual or automatic operation. To realize the maximum adequacy of the mathematical model, the program provides for the possibility of taking into account the influence of the actuators on the regulation process
