Diseño e Implementación de un Control de Planta de Nivel Gunt RT450 utilizando un Plc Simatic S7 1200 con (TIA PORTAL) e Implementación de una Interfaz para Usuario diseñada en Labview con Comunicación mediante OPC

Abstract

In industry it is frequent to use equipment for automation of processes such as PLCs HMIs, from different manufacturers and sometimes using different protoc ols depending on each manufacturer, This is the problem of proprietary protocols to which in this project, we will design a solution, one of the objectives is to use the resource NI OPC Servers to communicate: a PLC Simatic S7 1200 which acts as a Data Source, with a User Interface designed in Labview that acts as Data Client, in PLC resides programming that performs the control for the level plant Gunt RT450, this programming interacts with the interface for user who allows to enter setpoints for level, tu rn on and turn off the pump that drives the liquid, select operating modes, and also to monitor levels and alarm states, is additionally designed a set of switches, buttons and pilot lights that give another option of control and monitoring. The selection of the PLC Simatic S7 1200 and your programming environment TIA PORTAL, is carried out taking into account that is intuitive and graphical it also has tools that facilitate the self-learning part of the development of the project is the design of laboratory practice involving aspects of programming, communication and operation,it was necessary to develop the control for the level plant.
