Diseño y análisis de un sistema de control automatizado para una mezcladora de goma integrando SCADA y PLC para la ferretería Aceros Rivera de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The curricular integration project, titled "Design and Analysis of an Automated Control System for a Rubber Mixer integrating SCADA and PLC for Aceros Rivera Hardware in Guayaquil," is situated in the field of Electronics and Automation, aiming for the automated improvement of a rubber plant. In the first chapter, clear objectives are established, focusing on the design and analysis of a control system using SCADA and PLC for rubber mixing at the mentioned hardware store. These specific objectives encompass site identification, theoretical description of PLC and SCADA, design of the electrical scheme and software, and the analysis of benefits, efficiency, and budget, all of which are successfully accomplished. The second chapter underscores the importance of representing electrical elements in diagrams, elucidating their functions and applications. The materials and equipment required for the project, ranging from cabinets and rails to PLC Siemens S7-1215C, are detailed comprehensively, ensuring the system's efficiency. Tools such as AutoCAD Electrical are utilized for designing blueprints, and software like TIA Portal, WinCC, and CADE SIMU for programming and simulation, showcasing a technical and advanced approach. The third chapter delves into the design of the electrical control scheme and data acquisition software. Two control approaches are presented: one without PLC, using conventional electrical elements, and another with PLC Siemens S7-1215C for increased automation and control. An HMI is incorporated to facilitate process supervision, adding an additional level of efficiency and visualization. Overall, the work demonstrates a profound understanding of electrical principles and automation, and its practical application to enhance a specific process in a hardware store.
