Diseño y simulación del proceso de fabricación de papel mediante PLC y HMI

Abstract

This study focuses on the design and simulation of an integrated automation system for paper manufacturing using PLC and a SCADA platform. The project stems from the desire to deepen practical knowledge, particularly in areas not covered during the course of study. An experimental approach is employed through simulations, iterative testing, and the integration of design techniques into an accessible and comprehensible HMI interface. The PLC programming is carried out methodically and meticulously. By implementing this system, paper production is effectively optimized, bridging the gap between theory and practice. Interaction with tools like TIA PORTAL and WinCC motivates students to contribute valuable skills to the industry.
