Diseño e implementación de un sistema para la monitorización de un proceso de control de nivel y flujo

Abstract

This document describes the development and implementation of a system for monitoring equipment level flow control located into electronics laboratories of the University Francisco José de Caldas based technology is presented. The techniques and theories used for the project have to do with industrial control systems, programmable logic controllers, monitoring systems and data acquisition, industrial communication networks, human machine interfaces, SCADA systems etc. Among the equipment used there is a low-cost card microcontroller Arduino, which was used to receive analog signals from the flow sensors and equipment level and bring them to a computer. Subsequently using the software and LabView programming language, an interface where monitoring is presented using graphical process flow and level of equipment and real-time capture and download of data is permitted designed. The result is a device that connects to the control equipment by banana connections, and through the graphical interface developed allows the operator monitoring the flow and level in real time during practice. Further down help download in an Excel file or other format captured data.
