Banco de ensayos didáctico para enseñanza de automatización industrial

Abstract

This paper describes a test bench of electric machines to be used in educational applications and it is designed to teach in the area of industrial automation for graduate school of Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Buenos Aires. The test was conducted as part of an exchange program with a graduation student's in Mechatronics Toluca Institute of Technology. This bank consists of two three-phase asynchronous machines mechanically linked by a shaft coupling that can be operated in all possible ways: as a motor and generator as a brake. Drive Motor and brake can be achieved with a variable speed maneuvering engines or directly on the grid. The command is automated machine with programmable logic controllers (PLC's). It is reported how it has been developed the sequence of tasks for the construction of electrical machines bank as well asinstructional practices are described that can grow with it.
