Rediseño de hardware y software del Sistema de Control de Presión de la planta GUNT RT 450 del laboratorio de instrumentación industrial de la FIEC, mediante el uso de un PLC Siemens S7-1200, LabVIEW y OPC

Abstract

This project aims to help in the academic development of the Industrial Instrumentation Lab of FIEC, focusing on the redesign of the pressure control system of the “Gunt RT 450 Plant”, which implements a PLC Siemens S7-1200, that was programmed using TIA Portal V11, the one that allows monitoring and control, local and remote, through a graphic interface developed in LabVIEW with the DSC toolkit, whose communication happens through OPC connectivity, using NI OPC Servers and Ethernet network. The plant will be controlled manually or automatically through the use of a PID controller configured with the PID_Compact block. Data required in real time will be stored in a data base of Microsoft Access; suitable lab practice guides and software will be included too, in order to let the Industrial-Instrumentation-Lab-students replicate this project or adapt it to control other variables such as level, caudal and temperature.
