Diseño e Implementación del sistema automatizado con interfaz HMI (Interfaz Hombre Maquina) para para la máquina termo-selladora de envases de pintura controlada por el PLC SIMATIC S7-1212C y supervisada por el panel táctil KTP400PN, de la Industria Envatanqs Yánez S.A.

Abstract

The implementation and automation of heat-sealing machine packaging paint company ENVATANQS "YANEZ" SA dedicated to this activity 15 years ago, can solve product losses by the plastic deformation of the package when the paint containers, because it is done manually, so the time it takes for this process brings losses for the company, with the development of this project is to increase the productivity of the industry, just as through automation cyclical industrial process improve sealing plastic containers for a quarter and an eighth of a gallon of paint enamel and reduce the processing time thereby increasing production. By implementing the heat sealing process, it will be handled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) of Siemens Simatic S7-1200 CPU 1212C which sequentially activate and deactivate the heat sealing process, is required for this program the TIA PORTAL PLC using STEP 7 software. To perform this process is necessary first drawings of the machine in the current state, thus determine the parts to be changed and its location. An effective implementation of automation of heat sealing system will ensure that production targets are met, such as eliminating the direct manipulation of fire by operators to minimize risk of accidents, reduce the waste of raw materials, and most increase productivity substantially.
