Implementación de un módulo educativo utilizando un controlador lógico programable (PLC) para un sistema de control biestable de presión

Abstract

The execution of this project arises from the need to complete the Industrial Technology Laboratory that is part of the School of Technologists of the National Polytechnic School with industrial equipment that allows students to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired in the areas of Automation, Control and Instrumentation, in addition to developing and consolidating their practical skills by managing the teaching units to be implemented.

The introduction contains generalities for the development of the work, justification, objectives and global scope of the project. In the Methodology the research used, methods and resources necessary for its development are disclosed. The procedures used for the effective fulfillment of the proposed objectives are described, starting with the sizing, identification and selection of equipment, continuing with the implementation and commissioning, ending with the functional tests. Results and Discussion formulates the design, characterization, implementation and operation of the pressure control system, prior to the analysis of the PLC module already established. The control algorithm is detailed, as well as the operator interface created for the application, the tests of operability, interpretation and prospecting of results. Finally, the conclusions and recommendations of the project are presented.
