Diseño e implementación de un módulo didáctico utilizando un controlador lógico programable (PLC) para la simulación de procesos industriales.

Abstract

The development of the present titling work arises in response to the need to implement an Industrial Control Laboratory for Escuela de Formación de Tecnólogos of Escuela Politécnica Nacional, equipped with technology that allows to develop and execute practical applications, with which the student can consolidate the theoretical foundations. The present thesis topic is divided into four sections, which are detailed below: The Introduction contains general aspects for the development of this work, justifying the fundamental aspects of design according to the requirements, requirements of the system and basic conditions for the execution of practical workshops. The Methodology explains the research used the resources and techniques such as observation, experimentation and the collection of information through different bibliographic sources. In Results and Discussion, the design, the implementation and the respective documentation of the didactic module are exposed. As part of the module, three control systems are presented for didactic applications; a) Level control system, b) Home automation system, and c) Y-Delta starter of a three-phase motor system. In addition, performance tests are included, and the interpretation and analysis of results. Finally, conclusions and recommendations of the integrating project are included.
