Estudo teórico para a automação, utilizando um CLP de pequeno porte, no sistema de captação e distribuição de água em Ipiaçu - Bahia

Abstract

This work is a theoretical study in the area of automation, with the application of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) in a water collection, treatment and distribution system in Ipuaçu-Bahia. W ater is a fundamental factor for human survival, in areas furthest from capitals the process of collection, purification and distribution guarantees living conditions and sanitation for communities. The electrical components were used to meet command demands and in compliance with current T echnical Standards. Furthermore, security criteria were established for the system. The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) allowed the execution of electrical command and the implementation of logic for operational operation and also enables safety logic in the operation of the elaborate electrical system. The methodology considered was qualitative analysis, bibliographical research and active search in the area of knowledge on the topic. T ests and evaluation of signals were carried out with practical programming activities on the PLC, in relation to electrical automation. V alidation of the solution diagram was done through signal simulation, using a specific program. As a result, an automation solution was generated that met the demands of the problem studied and thus it was proven that there is an automated, safe and efficient operation to meet the proposed system.
