This paper presents a novel concept of the WEB application for monitoring and control of fluid power systems. The proposed concept is based on the internet of things principles. WEB application is built on the Web2py framework which uses Python as the programming language. The client-side of the proposed application is based on the responsive open source AdminLTE dashboard. On the server-side Python is used for executing SQL queries sent to the database and for continuous data logging. The ModbusTCP protocol is used as the communication protocol between the server and systems. The application is tested on two experimental setups. The first one uses an industrial PLC and the second one is an Arduino PLC as a control device. Finally, experimental results are presented and a conclusion is given.
