Adaptación de la tecnología de control abierto de procesos (opc) al laboratorío de control automático de la facultad de ingeniería eléctrica y computación (fiec) para la administración remota de sus plantas de trabajo

Abstract

This thesis work comprises the analysis of the used tools for the development of Automatic Control Laboratory (LCA) practices, and the problems that this arises. It is proposed as a methodology, the introduction of Open Process Control (OPC) technology at the LCA that, besides simulating a real-time controlled industrial environment, leaves an open door for the application of remote control techniques, currently carried out by developing a website. To meet these conditions, an analysis is made to justify the use of field equipment, Matlab-Simulink and a National Instruments (NI) application, which together manage to establish an OPC client-server communication between different existent work plants at the LCA and the web application server. Finally, the configuration of field devices and Matlab-Simulink is exposed, industrial safety considerations to take into account and the development of the items that contain all information necessary for OPC communication, without leaving the design chosen for the workbench where this thesis project was mounted.
