Implementación de Módulos de Aprendizaje Orientados a la Instrumentación Física y Virtual en El Sector Industrial, Mediante Plc’s Arduino

Abstract

The purpose of this degree project is to design, build and implement a learning module aimed at physical and virtual instrumentation in the industrial sector through Arduino PLC'S, applied in a process of dosing and mixing of substance at a certain temperature with the purpose of reinforcing the knowledge imparted to students of the subject of microcontrollers in a real process in which they can clear all their concerns from the classroom to the practical part of the system also includes the monitoring of the entire process through an HMI. Granting the facility to students to learn more industrial designs with Arduino.

The system is composed of two teaching modules using Open Source technologies; the first module is made up of a Mduino 38R PLC with its respective digital inputs through pushbuttons and digital outputs through LEDs, as well as the simulation of analog signals through potentiometers. The second module is made up of a 19R Mduino PLC, this will fulfill the function of a slave, both modules will have basic control elements such as relays, pushbuttons, indicator lights, potentiometers. The implementation of this system in a didactic scale model of a process of dosing and mixing of substances, through Arduino programming, reflects the ease of automating diversity of industrial processes with an understandable and unlicensed programming, in addition to compression, application of theoretical concepts of various subjects such as: ● Industrial automation ● Microcontrollers ● Analog electronics Thus, focusing students on the use of new technologies in the industrial sector.
