Proceso industrial para el mezclado y embotellado de fertilizantes líquidos mediante FACTORY I/O

Abstract

The degree project demonstrates the operation of an automated system for mixing and bottling liquid fertilizers, through Factory I/O and TIA Portal software. The mixing of different components produces new formulas or products. These mixing and bottling processes are very common in industries, so it is of great importance to make microentrepreneurs aware of how these automated systems are carried out. Factory I/O allows you to generate and control in real time, virtual industrial processes with high-quality graphics and sound. The software interface is fully interactive, providing a very realistic industrial environment. The TIA Portal is an engineering software developed by the Siemens brand that integrates programming, control and supervision, and is also compatible with PLCSIM which allows testing the programming carried out in a virtual PLC without the need for physical hardware. The project shows the programming in the TIA Portal software in the KOP language that will collect data from the sensors and give orders to the virtual actuators found in the Factory I/O program, a virtual control board will be created which will start , recipe selection, stop and emergency stop to the process, an S7-1500 PLC will be used to load the programming and simulate it.
