Diseño e implementación de dos módulos educacionales basados en dispositivos de maniobra y relé programable (LOGO)

Abstract

The present project has the purpose of designing and implementing two educational modules based on devices of circuit switching and programmable relays, which will be part of the Industrial Control Laboratory at the Training School for Technologists. With these educational models the students in technology of electrical engineering will have the possibility to prepare their laboratory exercises and strengthen their knowledge in the subjects of industrial control, electric machines and electric protections.

With the purpose of students being able to learn about and to operate modern automatization technologies and strengthen and impulse their theoretical knowledge, creativity and experience in their fields of study and professional life, two modules with robust physical structure, designed for their easy use and dislocation inside the laboratory were implemented.

In addition, three laboratory exercises were developed: first, a three-phase magnetic induction starting motor in star/delta connection with wired logic; second, the implementation of an intelligent traffic-light programmed via the Logo! Soft Comfort software; third, the simulation of two pumps used for the filling of a water tank, also programmed via the Logo! Soft Comfort software. Finally, functioning tests and the interpretation and analysis of results to guarantee the correct implementation and functioning of the educational modules are included
