Simulación de un proceso industrial farmacéutico utilizando Portal TIA V15 y Unity Pro XL

Abstract

The PLCs of the Programmable Logic Controllers have reached a high development at an industrial level due to their characteristics and benefits. These devices have improved the control logic, based on aspects such as: simple programming, high reliability, communication with a computer and economic accessibility. PLC's are used in different applications: industrial, home automation, elevators, pre-processing of control signals, etc. Another of the tools present in automated industrial processes complementing the functions of the PLCs is the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) which allows the operator to monitor and control the operation of the systems in the process. Due to the above, an industrial process for the elaboration of pharmaceutical encapsulates has been developed, in Portal TIA V15 and Unity Pro XL, in order to compare the functionality and characteristics of both programs, in addition, using the Arduino platform with the Proteus software, the level, flow, temperature and pressure sensors that influenced in the industry, these conditioning values in real time were shown in the HMI of Nextion editor, for data recording and supervision by the operator
