Diseño de un tablero didáctico automatizado con PLC logo para pruebas de arranque de motores y sistemas de control industrial eléctrico para el laboratorio de electrónica de la Facultad de Educación Técnica para el Desarrollo de la Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil.

Abstract

This thesis project arose from the need to optimize the teaching resources of the Electronics Laboratory of the Technical Faculty of the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil. The main objective is to design an automated teaching board with LOGO PLC, focused on the start-up testing of motors and electrical industrial control systems. The lack of special machines and equipment limits students' practical experience. The research included an exhaustive study of the applications and functionalities of the LOGO PLC, selecting it for its versatility and ease of implementation in educational settings. Additionally, a pre-practice guide was developed to serve as support material for students, facilitating the use of the board and understanding of theoretical concepts. Programming development using LOGO Soft Comfort software was also addressed, allowing students to become familiar with industry-standard programming languages. This board will not only enrich teaching but also prepare future professionals with practical skills and up-to-date knowledge in industrial automation.
