Desarrollo de un prototipo de modulo entrenador que emplea dispositivos como PLC y HMI para practicas de laboratorio

Abstract

The main focus of the degree project is the practical application of the concepts acquired in specialization subjects, covering fundamental areas such as Industrial Automation, Industrial Networks, Mechatronic Design, PLC and, among other relevant disciplines. The central purpose is focused on the creation of a trainer prototype that facilitates the implementation of this knowledge. In the manufacturing process of this trainer prototype, the integration of components of the SIEMENS brand, leader in industrial technology, was chosen. Specifically, elements such as the S7-1200 PLC and a 7-inch HMI screen have been implemented, which enrich the functionality and versatility of the design. It is essential to highlight that the project has as its primary objective to provide students with the opportunity to carry out laboratory practices in a low-scale environment. A distinctive feature of the project is its ability to simulate and validate practical situations through a successful connection to a test plant. In turn, this project demonstrates the effectiveness of the prototype in an operational context and highlights its potential application in real industrial environments.
