Construcción de un robot cilíndrico educativo basado en conceptos de la Industria 4.0

Abstract

A robotic cell has been developed with a cylindrical educational robot that has three degrees of freedom to control the movement of three stepper motors. This system is based on a SIEMENS S7 1200 DC/DC/DC PLC. Different interfaces have been designed for the interaction between the user and the system, allowing to control each type of movement independently, either with simple or sequential movements, using the Jog mode, absolute and relative positioning. In addition, the cylindrical robot can carry out a color classification process, and due to its flexibility, it can be configured and programmed according to the user's needs to carry out activities such as palletizing, packaging or labeling. The didactic system has been tested and has shown an effectiveness of 97% in the color classification process, which highlights the precision of the didactic module in the implemented control. It is important to mention that industry 4.0 is based on the use of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) an d cloud computing, which demands the adoption of new platforms and standards. The research project focused on developing a dynamic and interactive monitoring system that allows interaction with the robotic cell. This makes it possible to monitor the roboti c cell from anywhere in the world.
