Abstract:
The article describes a web controlled pneumatic press as an example of a system designed to demonstrate the control of pneumatic devices via the Global Area Network (GAN). System implementation is divided into several phases: (1) establishment of Internet protocol-based communication, (2) web application development, (3) reaction to events, analysis, and data display on the user’s web page, (4) implementation of PID algorithm for force and position control of pneumatic press, (5) design and implementation of the human voice control system using artificial neural networks.

Keywords:
pneumatic press, force and position control, web-controlled system, voice-controlled mechatronic system
