Implementación de un módulo de servo posicionamiento, con controladores de motores, con PLC y HMI para el laboratorio de automatización y manipulación automática.

Abstract

The implementation of a servo positioning module with motor, PLC and HMI controllers was carried out, it started with the selection of the different equipment and materials, then the design of the module structure and finally the assembly and connection of the different equipment. To verify the operation of the devices, several virtual instruments were made which configure and use the characteristics of the MyRIO card by sending and receiving digital and PWM signals to control either the rotation angle or the forward speed in the different motors; in addition, an encoder was used for the feedback of the speed value of the brushless motor, the position control of the servomotor and stepper motor, as well as the speed control of the brushless motor were integrated with control elements in a Touch panel which are linked to a PLC and to the computer using OPC developed by National Instruments which work in conjunction with the used processing card. A maintenance plan was drawn up, encompassing the main activities to be carried out individually and conjointly in the equipment that is part and necessary for the execution of the project. The purpose of the plan is to guarantee the proper functioning of the module in class and to safeguard the wellbeing of users and equipment; it is complemented by an operational Check List to be fulfilled by users prior to the use of the elements of the module. The necessary engine for industrial or didactic processes can be identified depending on the inherent characteristics and requirements of the proposed system and thanks to the fact that additional functions can be added from the PLC, the range of applications expands widely, especially if applications that can use the work of engines jointly are developed.
