Diseño e implementación de un moduló didáctico, para el control de nivel y temperatura utilizando un autómata programable Allen Bradley.

Abstract

The present project consists of the implementation of a didactic module, which collaborates in the development of practices focused on the control and automation line for undergraduate students, establishing a step-by-step guide in the realization of practices that links the level control in a system of coupled tanks and temperature control in one of the tanks; In order to carry out the aforesaid, it is sought to implement a programming in the programmable automaton ALLEN BRADLEY Logixpro1000, this programming has the possibility of being modified, due to the flexibility offered by the tank system when offering different routines, according to the requirements of the student or requirements of the subject. It is a proposal that includes instructive guides for the student, allowing the development of specific topics, such as: structure of the PLC, analysis and characteristics of each entry and exit element (digital and analog), programming of a Programmable Automaton, interface in intouch among other fields of automation. This is one of the most creative ways to induce students to the knowledge of industrial processes, visualize automation and integration with the development of a SCADA system and process control of scale industries, applying to a variety of knowledge based in the subjects of Automation and Control. The process that is part of the didactic module is made up of tanks coupled together, it has electromechanical and electrical mechanical elements in its design, such as inputs, level sensors, temperature, light indicators among others, as outputs: the actuators, control valves, servo valves, etc.
