Desenvolvimento da programação do controle de uma planta industrial por CLP.

Abstract

This work presents the development of programming for a laboratory-scale industrial plant. Initially programmed in ladder logic, the plant was later converted to function block diagram and structured text. The plant consists of four interconnected tanks, supplied by a central water reservoir, and controlled by an Allen Bradley PLC. The PI controller gains were adjusted using BR-Tuning software, and different tuning techniques were compared in terms of system performance.
