Automação de caldeira didática

Abstract

This work aimed to the automation of a didactic boiler. This boiler was already owned by the Federal Technological University of Paraná, with the same widely used for practical classes, demonstrations and experiments in the classroom, however, its operation and functioning were completely manual, either through valves and records, or buttonholes and gauntlets for drives and also the readings of measuring instruments made mechanically only. Hence the idea to automate the equipment, making classes more productive and comprehensive. To conduct the study were conducted various researches to develop a theoretical basis, and as a research based on several scientific articles and other bibliographies. a SCADA system was used, communication with a Programmable Logic Controller to make interactive and supervised system. With the installation of such a system, the advantages are much more visible, facilities and above all, safety in automated systems.
