Diseño e implementación de un sistema SCADA en LabVIEW para el control y monitoreo del caldero del laboratorio de generación de vapor de la Facultad de Mecánica de la ESPOCH.

Abstract

The design and implementation of the SCADA System carried out by using the software LabVIEW to control and monitor the main variables of the operation of the boiler, in order to obtain information and being able to supervise completely the vapor generation process using appropriate transducers at the Operational context. The methodology applied for the realization of the work is based on the experimentation, in addition the methodology of observation was used where the nature of the vapor generation process was visualized. The work includes theory on boiler control accessories, which will facilitate the understanding of the chapter dedicated to the control and data acquisition system, as well as the maintenance, assembly and adjustment of the field equipment installed in the boiler. The developed application will allow to generate data report and measurement files which collect the data acquired by the card, these are stored in the computer as measurement files or spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel and reports in Microsoft Word, which serve to verify. The operating parameters of the boiler and generate maintenance plans. It is very importance for the reader to get familiar with the controls that govern the operation of the boiler, as well as the knowledge about virtual instrumentation in LabVIEW for a better understanding of the realization of this work and observe real data of the operation of the boiler.
