Implementación de un módulo didáctico electroneumático para la Escuela de Ingeniería Electrónica, Control y Redes Industriales.

Abstract

The implementation of an Electro-pneumatic Didactic Module for the Electronic Engineering School, Control and Industrial Networks of the ESPOCH was carried out to strengthen the student teaching-learning process. The used methods were the inductive one as the starting point was the selection in catalogs of the components according to the established requirements and the market availability for the module development and the experimental one because lab practices which permitted to tests their functioning, were stated. In the project materials such as hardware: computer, electric elements: push buttons, selectors relays, indicators, sensors and source 24 VDC. electropneumatics: electrovalaves, cylinders, valve AND, maintenance unit, distributer compressor, spare parts and software: Windws 7/32 bits AutoCad and Automation Studio. Its construction is based on a previous design of a mixed structure made up of metal-wood to which an electro-pneumatic panel is attached on a perforated base of stainless steel and electric panel built in a non conductor material, permitting to implement practices of basic electropneumatics Moreover the user manual and guide with fifteen practices are incorporated As a results 100% acceptance was obtained upon applying questionnaires to teachers and students, demonstrating an excellent performance of the Electropneumatic Didactic Module and strengthening the teaching- learning process at the Electronic Engineering School. Control and Industrial networks of the ESPOCH To preserve the module the lab assistants are recommended to provide a preventive periodic maintenance as described the user manual.
