Robotic Arm has become a large potential tool to teach engineering disciplines in automation control courses. In fact, over the past decades, industrial tasks increasingly rely on robots in a wide range of applications in order to handle tasks that could be difficult and hazardous to human beings. The expanding implementation of supervisory control and robotics systems requires engineers with expertise in electrical design, instrumentation, mechanical design and computer programming for a large number of automation systems. This paper introduces a complete Visual C# and SCADA based software for control, monitoring and simulation of a 4-DOF robotic arm for material handling applications. To further this goal a prototype has been created in a CNC machine and a microcontroller 18F4550 board has been connected to an industrial supervisory. The main context of this study is described as an important tool both to motivate students and to serve as the practical use in industrial simulations. Furthermore, not only can the students program and implement microcontroller software, but students teams can also create a multi-disciplinary hands-on skills ranging from basic concepts of kinematics to design manufacturing plants.
