Implementación de un módulo para la simulación, supervisión y control de procesos industriales en el Laboratorio de Control y Manipulación Automática de la Facultad de Mecánica

Abstract

In this research project, a conveyor system and a pumping system were designed, modeled and simulated. At the same time a physical control and supervision module was implemented. It was decided to use a software for real-time automation that simulates industrial installation, Factory I/O 2.1.3. The module was adapted to a simulated installation based on the characteristics that the software allows, using conveyor belts, a pumping system, control sensors. In the modular part, two siemens motors, two frequency variators, a PLC, HMI screen, a communication module were implemented. The configuration and parameterization of each of them began to be detailed. In order to carry out these industrial processes, it was executed with Siemens PLC Step 7 programming software, which is able to simulate an endless number of operating modes of an installation, blocks and memories. The runtime for displaying is used to interact with the final operator in order to observe the response of the process, detect installation problems or change the operating mode and monitor its possible operating failures. Then, be able to carry out an analysis of it, in order to seek solutions within industrial processes. This type of industrial communication networks allowed to know more widely its programming and control of the different equipment that the module has. It will be very helpful for the students of Industrial Maintenance to further strengthen their knowledge.
