Diseño de un sistema de control y automatización para proyecto aerovía en Guayaquil, Ecuador

Abstract

This article is part of a project design of a control and automation system implemented in the city of Guayaquil, in the new transportation system called Aerovia, it took place in 2022, with help from the Distrital University. Problem: A monitoring and control system is needed to visualize all the variables of the system, in order to verify the correct operation of all the systems and, in the event of any failure, to issue the respective alert and take immediate control actions. Objetive: To visualize in SCADA system the variables of each one of the stations of the Aerovia, in order to maintain the control and security of the whole system and guarantee the correct operation of each process involved. Metodology: PLC programming that allows to collect all the information of each one of the variables of the system, in order to send it to a SCADA that allows the operator to visualize the operation of each process. Results: The complete implementation of the 5 Aerovia stations in Guayaquil and a main control station called PMC, each one with its respective SCADA, allowing the operators of each station and the PMC to maintain constant monitoring of all the processes involved in the system, visualizing the different alerts and being able to perform control actions from the same SCADA.
