Diseño y simulación del control de presión continua para un sistema de compresores neumáticos en paralelo mediante configuración de PLC’S maestro-esclavo e IOT2040

Abstract

Continuous pressure control in pneumatic compressor systems is essential for maintaining performance in industrial applications. This project focuses on the design and simulation of a continuous pressure control system for parallel pneumatic compressors, using a master-slave PLC configuration and integrating the IoT2040 platform. The problem addressed is the lack of simulations and educational practices incorporating these advanced technologies, which limits engineering students' practical learning and their ability to tackle real-world industry challenges. Historically, education in industrial automation has relied primarily on theory, with insufficient integration of experimental practices and modern technological tools. The objective of the degree project is to design a continuous pressure control system through a master-slave PLC configuration, develop a user interface (HMI) for system control, and integrate the IoT2040 platform for real-time monitoring. To achieve these objectives, an experimental approach will be adopted, including system design, PLC configuration implementation, HMI development, and IoT2040 integration.
