Diseño y Construcción de un Módulo de Laboratorio para Simulación y Automatización de Procesos Industriales Mediante un Autómata, Panel Operador, Software SCADA y un Prototipo Fabril a Escala.

Abstract

It was made the Design and Construction of a Module of Automation by means of an Automaton and Operator Panel for Industrial Control Laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanics with the purpose of promoting this laboratory with new technology, making the students acquire useful knowledge in their professional training. It was investigated the technical characteristics and operation of the PLC and operator panel. As preliminary stage to make the design and construction of the most appropriate module, by facilitating the assembly of these teams, which are used in the development and analysis of SCADA Systems (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) within an experimental context. STEP 7 Micro software / WIN was used in the PLC and the software Win CC Flexible on the Operator Panel to perform the coding of communication between these teams, with the help of Portal Totally Integrated Automation (TIA Portal) software, was carried out the programming that meets the conditions of operation of the prototype manufacturing, and later the programming was transferred towards the equipments by means of the Ethernet communication protocol. At the same way it was described the connection of the module of automation with an industrial prototype showing the flexibility of the structure of SCADA software used and the range of applications that we can obtain manipulating these equipments. Practical guides of laboratory and preventive maintenance plan were also developed in order to preserve the optimal state of various machines and devices that make up the proposed module.
