Estudio de los protocolos y buses de campo para el control de procesos neumáticos en la industria productora cartonera de la ciudad de Duran.

Abstract

The present investigation proposes a comprehensive study of the advantages offered by the Profibus DP fieldbus for the control of pneumatic processes in the “Corrugated paperboard” production line of the Productora cartonera Industry in the city of Duran. The research will focus on the control of the pneumatic valve blocks, through a PLC that will be communicated through Profibus Dp which is the bus with the greatest impact on the manufacturing industry by having high response speeds and effective control of Field devices. An on-site investigation will be carried out analyzing the “Corrugated paperboard” production line, to make a comparative table between a block of pneumatic electromechanical control valves with a fieldbus control valve, in order to show the advantages of this technology that will help to the operator to check the operative state of the pneumatic devices, as well as the diagnosis of errors by means of an HMI. This will allow the industry to reduce time and money in corrective maintenance and unexpected production stoppages.
