Evaluación de la eficiencia de los controladores Arduino Mega y Seimens Logo 23ORC en procesos industiales

Abstract

Test modules to measure the efficiency of Arduino Mega, Siemens LOGO! 230RC controllers for industrial processes have been implemented. For the development of the research, it was necessary to get information about technologies and elements to be used according to its use in each panel, some aspects affecting the right Arduino card performance such as: noise, dust, vibrations and shocks were also evaluated; these elements are easily found in the industrial area. The hypothesis verification was done through different trials to get data from the panel. For this, different software such as: LOGO Soft Comfort, IDE Arduino, lsis Proteus, LabView and Excel were used according to the needs the research required during this implementation. Thermomagnetic relays, Arduino Card, Siemens LOGO! 230rc were used for implementing the hardware, the actuators were represented by light bulbs, AD595, led diodes, a 2 and 3 position switch, a siren and a laptop. The protection for the Arduino Card must be metallic for protecting the device against any possible complication The analysis of the results obtained from different trials show that Arduino Card performance is as efficient as Siemens LOGO! 230RC controller. To demonstrate the similarity existing between the mean and the variance some statistical tests were carried out, some of these tests showed that the values are the same. From these statistical values the hypothesis was accepted It is concluded that Arduino Mega is a big choice to substitute Siemens LoGo! 230RC controller, this device has the same functions and characteristics of the controller, since it has more digital and analog inputs, that is why it is unnecessary to get cheaper additional modules. t is recommended to use Arduino Mega in the industrial automation processes since it is more economic and better than Siemens LOGO! 230RC.
