Electric motors, which are widely used in industry, need to be controlled and monitored to ensure that they operate as intended. With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, electric motors can be remotely controlled and accurately monitored in real time. This paper proposes an IoT-based supervised control of a three-phase Squirrel Cage Induction Motor (SCIM) using a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) module and a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) as a control device with several display screens, namely Human Machine Interface (HMI), PC server, and PC client. This allows the electric motor to be remotely controlled and monitored via the internet by a motor control system implemented using the vector control method available in the VSD module. The proposed method has been verified through laboratory experiments, and the experimental results demonstrate that the IoT-based supervised control system of the induction motor works as designed. The motor rotation speed and direction can be successfully controlled and monitored according to the reference using the HMI, PC server, and PC client. © by the authors.
