Diseño e implementación de un módulo didáctico para controlar una prensa neumática con sistema de carga - descarga automática, utilizando PLC, para la EIE – CRI.

Abstract

With the design and implementation of didactic module to control a pneumatic press with the automated charge/discharge system using PLC, a support tool is disposed of to facilitate the learning process of the student from the Electronic Engineering School. The inductive method was applied for its design and implantation. The used techniques were cable logic and automated control which facilitated the solution for this project. In the project the following materials were used: pneumatic cylinders, electro-valves, vent, sensors, Dc motor, PLC and aluminum profiles. The elements were: connector couplings, terminal, pneumatic hose and cable. The tools were: puncturing device, screwdrivers and hexagons. The software consisted of: Operative System XP for the electric design AutocadElectrical, for the programming of the PLC TwidoSoft and for the electro-pneumatic AutomationStudio design. The physical structure design was based on scale requirements of the real pneumatic press; the electric and programming PLC design was performed in LADDER language. The functioning of these design led to the automation of the module industrial process; later, the project was implanted; in the functioning test the rating of the electronic device was taking into account. The module evaluation was carried out with the student and teachers with 92.31% acceptance by student. For the acceptance percentage by the student, it is concluded that this module will strengthen the learning process. It is recommended to provide the module a periodical maintenance.
