Module for the control of two process variables

Abstract

The control and automation of industrial processes allow industries to improve their production and there is greater profitability, the didactic module of control of two variables, will reinforce the theoretical and practical knowledge in the students of the Electromechanical career of the Technical University of Cotopaxi, La Maná extension through the control and interaction with the variables flow and pressure, the student can perform practices designed for the use of the module and thus become more competitive in the industrial sector. The didactic module implemented has industrial elements such as: PLC, variator, pump, pressure transmitter, proportional control valve, in addition to a touch panel that allows the interaction between the user and the variables to perform Manual and Automatic controls. In manual mode the parameters of frequency in the inverter and position in the control valve are configured, in automatic mode the control of the two variables is performed using two types of control such as PID and On-Off.
