Diseño de un prototipo de sistemas SCADA para el monitoreo de captación, almacenamiento y distribución de agua potable para la EP-EMAPAR.

Abstract

A prototype SCADA system was designed to monitor the collection, storage and distribution of potable water for the Municipal water and Sewage Company (EMAPAR), which requires a web SCADA system, in the Yaruquíes derivation, For the monitoring of the processes of training, storage and distribution of the derivation, in order to orient the decision making and the execution of technical actions, that allow to manage of adequate and efficient way the water resource, in order to minimize waste and Leakage, reduce operating costs, ensure equitable and timely distribution of vital liquid and raise the institutional image. Data ware obtained from the variables, by means of transducer sensors, which in turn transmit signals to the programmable Logic Controller (PLC). A machine Man Interface (HMI) displays the information to the system operator. The PLC is programmed with the TIA portal software, in the visualization and data storage and the signal processing of alarm is used LabWIEV, System performance tests resulted in alarm signals whenever there is a difference between the data acquired form the variables and the established standards. It was obtained that the automated monitoring and control of the processes and the decrease of the operating costs, increasing the volume of production and satisfying the users of the service. It is concluded that timely control of system failures ensures that there is no shortage or loss of vital liquid, reducing operating costs, increasing production volume and satisfying service users. This research work constitutes the starting point for the development of future research, such as the creation of a preventive maintenance system in the potable water supply network.
