Diseño y simulación del proceso de elaboración de alimento balanceado para aves de corral utilizando PLC 1500 y HMI

Abstract

This technical project documents the design, simulation, and commissioning phases of an automated system for the formulation of feed compounds for poultry farming. Its operation is controlled by an S7-1500 controller and supervised by an HMI module. The solution was developed using the TIA Portal version 15.1 platform. Thanks to the integration of these environments, fine-tuning of the three parameters of the proportional, integral, and derivative controller was achieved, which in turn ensured stable dynamic behavior in the milling section of the system. PID control was implemented to regulate the variables with the greatest impact on process quality, such as the speed of the conveyor motors, hopper levels, and the flow rate of the material to be processed. This ensures the consistency and homogeneity of the feed produced.
