Implementación de un sistema SCADA para el control en las estaciones de bombeo en las duchas y climatización del sauna y turco en la piscina institucional de la ESPOCH

Abstract

This research describes the implementation of a Scada system, with the objective of controlling the pumping stations in the showers, heating and cooling of the sauna and steam baths in the swimming pool. The research began with an in situ inspection to evaluate the current situation of the facilities and to determine the detailed requirements for the project. In this first phase, potential areas for improvement were identified and critical points requiring attention were determined. Through the study of the art, the parameters for developing the graphical control interface were established. The necessary variables for the control and reading of the equipment were specified, as well as obtaining significant information about the electrical circuits. Arduino is the central hardware that operates as a gateway, allowing an effective and bidirectional communication between the control interface and the power equipment. It ensures efficient monitoring and control in the pool. In addition, Python was chosen as the development software for the control GUI due to its open source nature, which provides flexibility, broad support and ease of use, contributing to a successful and efficient implementation of the SCADA system. In addition, a remote control system was incorporated using the Internet of Things (IoT). The Ubidots platform is in charge of receiving and managing temperature and flow data, allowing for efficient monitoring. The implementation of the SCADA system ensures stable temperature control, maintaining 40 degrees Celsius in the steam room and 80 degrees Celsius in the sauna room, thus ensuring optimal comfort and safety conditions for users. The human-machine interface provides an intuitive visual experience for the operating personnel, facilitating communication, monitoring and control of the different processes in real time.
