Today, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are widely used at the modern manufacturing automation. With an increasing demand for a natural, intuitive man–machine interaction (HMI) in automated industry, graphical programming with PLCs is presently gaining much attention. In this article, a PC‐based virtual instrument that can carry out remote monitoring and control for a precise PLC‐based riveting system via the Internet is developed. The real‐time implementation shows its good performance and presents an illustrative demonstration. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
