Diseño de un cliente de supervisión y control para la integración de una estación aislada al sistema PCS7 en una planta cementera

Abstract

The objective of this project is to design a supervision and control client to integrate an isolated Clinker dispatch station into the PCS7 system in a cement plant, addressing the urgent need to improve the support and capabilities of the automation team. This integration will enable remote supervision and control of the process, enhancing failure response efficiency and optimizing real-time monitoring of operations. CFC programming was used for the development, and a graphical interface was designed in WinCC for the Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, integrating all the necessary signals for automatic area control. Siemens PCS7 system was implemented following strict industrial automation standards. System validation was performed through simulations, verifying its functionality and integration capability within the existing environment. Simulation results demonstrated successful communication between the isolated station and the PCS7 system, enabling centralized supervision and efficient remote control for the Clinker dispatch. The system implementation improved operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and ensured precise control of dispatching operations. The project achieved its objectives of enhancing support efficiency in the dispatch process, demonstrating that automation through PCS7, along with client- server communication in an industrial network, is an effective solution to the current challenges the concret plant faces.
