Diseño e implementación de una maleta didáctica el levantamiento de comunicación industrial mediante la red as-interface en el laboratorio de fabricación flexible.

Abstract

The current project was based on the interconnection of devices through a single thread called "bus" to the command of inputs and outputs discrete signals, making it more efficient interaction of the elements with the programmable logic controller (PLC). The main objective of this project was to develop a design to scale of the communication network AS-Interface by the need to indicate the use of this network at the basic level of industrial communication, serving as a tool for visual demonstration of each the network elements and thus allow the contribution of practical academic development of students in the Flexible Manufacturing Laboratory of the Universidad Politecnica Salesiana to host Guayaquil. The project was complemented by a serie of test for correct communication of each element as the master, slaves, AS-i modules, AS-i supply, PLC S7-1200, finally allowing a safe and effective communication. For the respective communication modules TIA Portal V12 software is used. At the end of the project we saw a reduction in assembly time, engineering time and ease in lifting the AS-i network. The short response times of slaves and automatic error detection gave us the reliability required for this level of automation. In addition to the module we could verify the operation of some equipment in a confined space to demonstrate the savings of it in simple applications of inputs and outputs.
