Realización de un Sistema SCADA Utilizando LABVIEW y Pizarra Digital para el Laboratorio de Mecatrónica.

Abstract

The present thesis is based on the SCADA system development (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) using LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) and digital board for the Mechatronics laboratory, to control and monitor lab modules, show a man-machine interface practically; frontal panels were created based on the modules; communication was carried out between PLC (Programmable Logic Control) through the use of OPC (OLE for Process Control) and the shared LabVIEW variables. The SCADA system as a conjunct with the use of the digital board are the perfect complement to control and monitor the process station and the automated distribution station in both a practical and a didactic way, where the system consists of: A button panel accomplishing the start- stop function, a selector which changes the position from manual to automated, color leds indicating the functioning and an emergency button which completely stops the process A panel which generates reports in Excel thus permitting a record of the elements processed graphically and numerically. An alarm panel which permits to alert the operator when an inacceptable operation condition takes place. With the SCADA system development the control in real time of the Mechatronics lab modules is attained. It is recommended to use the PDI (Interactive Digital Board) and the SCADA system carried out for teaching and applied Mechatronics learning for its didactic characteristics and practical result display.
