Diseño y construcción de un módulo de control automático para la detección de fallas eléctricas en el laboratorio de mantenimiento correctivo de la Facultad de Mecánica

Abstract

The purpose of this Curricular Integration Work was to design and build an automatic control module for the detection and simulation of electrical faults for the Corrective Maintenance Laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanics. The development of this technical study included the module design, rigidity of the base, materials and electrical components selection. For the building of the structure and the assembly of components, light materials such as aluminum were mainly required. This material provided the ease of mobility for the practical use in real simulations, guaranteeing a good alternative prior to its construction. The electrical fault detection and simulation module was divided into four different sections, for the components placement in which the height of them was taken as reference, especially the micro PLC, the HMI touch screen, the power supply and the contactors. The module was divided into two main parts: modular structure and the electrical system according to IEC 61439 standard, the construction of the structure was built with two types of materials for the modular structure was used matte black aluminum and aluminum composite panel, for the electrical system was used sheet metal with ASTM A653 quality, and then perform the assembly of electrical components. In addition, it was concluded that the design based on the IEC 61439 standard allowed the adequate design before the building of the module, which was carried out in an orderly and sequential manner. The programming was generated in LOGO SOFT COMFORT and DOF SOFT with their simulations in a real way, one of them was the starting of two motors with detection sensor, these simulations allowed to identify the most common failures quickly and in a timely manner.
