Simulación de un proceso de empacado y almacenada de cajas con visualización en 3D.

Abstract

The degree work consists of simulating an automated box storage system using specialized programs, whose control is carried out through PLC programming. The automation of industrial systems includes a series of ordered steps, its purpose is to reach precise results, such as the identification, detection and transport of one or several objects, as well as the design and control of the same. First of all, a presentation of the software used for PLC programming (TIA PORTAL), as well as for the simulation of the stations (FACTORY I/O) has been elaborated in order to know their main characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Then, the connection and communication procedure between these two types of computer-assisted programs that guarantee the correct simulation of the stations is explained. Finally, the processes that have been designed are explained, in which a small description of the operation centers of each station is presented; the elements that conform it and its configuration. In addition, the sequential behavior of the same is developed, which includes the process carried out in the programming of the automaton using the different input and output addresses and marks so that the procedure is in accordance with the behavioral objectives of each station.
