Simulación de un sistema para ascensor controlado por PLC
(Universidad de Cuenca. UCUENCA-TEC, 2025-10-31) Cornejo Domínguez, William Geovanny; Pintado Nivicela, Ismael Sebastián; Abril Rivera, Raúl Alfredo
The purpose of this project is to build automated elevator control for a model where a Programmable Logic Controller is in charge of the system. We want this system to explain the advantages of automation in elevator systems and provide hands-on learning methods to grasp the fundamentals of industrial control. Automatic elevator systems need to function properly in cities and commercial spaces. PLCs function as energetic control elements that process data efficiently to connect devices and produce safe results. The integration of a PLC in the model offers an experience that being close to the actual ones allows to evaluate the possible improvements in the service. It can also act as a medium between education and the workplace to prepare students for future jobs in automation and control. It is based on its educational advantages, the promotion of technical thinking throughout the development of the practical activity and the skills of the participants in the context of the work process. Also, the emulation of systems and the issue of safety are complementary energetic aspects that add value in education and training in the field. The elevator model is initialized with a PLC in charge of controlling the actions around the cabin such as going up, going down, stopping at the required floors and reacting to user responses. These are position sensors which inform the PLC of the exact location of the elevator.
Mantenimiento y mejora de las instalaciones eléctricas en el taller de soldadura “El Toro” ubicado en la parroquia Yanuncay
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-03-20) Toapanta Tepan, Marco Vinicio; Piedra Torres, Paul Francisco
The present project is based on the issue of defective electrical installations at the "El Toro" workshop due to infrastructure failures as well as miscalculations in demand concerning power and lighting circuits, such as outlets, switches, wiring, and lamps. Therefore, this project will implement a design improvement to achieve a comprehensive optimization of the workshop's electrical installations, as well as their protection. Additionally, a complete maintenance will be carried out, along with a better positioning of elements to ensure there are no obstructions in terms of proper lighting levels and the correct distribution of control and power components. Currently, the lighting system is not only defective but also inefficient, so appropriate LED lamps will be installed to improve these conditions. The workshop tools, such as the welding machine, require a supply voltage of 220V, which is why we propose a workshop renovation. The fundamental aspect of this project is the power circuit points (outlets), which will be 110V and 220V depending on the equipment used in the workshop. Regarding maintenance, the meter itself will also be serviced, and thermomagnetic protections will be installed according to the demand. In conclusion, to optimize the workshop, a renovation is being planned, focusing on a comprehensive improvement of the electrical infrastructure.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-03-14) Ashqui Carpio, Juan David; Albito Quirola, Neycer Jose; Solá Quintuña, Marco René
In response to the growing demand for electrical energy, it is essential to promote clean and sustainable energy sources. Photovoltaic energy has become a viable option in our country due to the abundant solar radiation throughout the year. With the aim of improving performance, an automated cleaning system is being designed that will allow for regular maintenance, optimizing the performance of solar panels. Studies have shown that inadequate maintenance can reduce the efficiency of panels by up to 50%. Furthermore, the use of this technology will reduce costs associated with labor and cleaning products. With the automatic cleaner, solar panels will be kept in optimal conditions, unaffected by dirt and other common factors. This approach not only improves efficiency and durability but also contributes to sustainability by promoting the use of clean energy.

Lubricación automática para una escalera eléctrica con monitoreo de cadena
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-03-13) Avila Castro, Cristian Andres; Abril Rivera, Raúl Alfredo
The automatic lubrication system designed for this work represents a key need for escalator maintenance companies. Currently, lubricating the chains and checking their tension presents several difficulties, which generates a waste of time and materials, in addition to representing a high risk for the collaborators who perform these tasks. For the development of the chain lubrication and monitoring system, an analysis was carried out based on the author's experience as a maintenance technician, in which the high risk associated with these tasks was identified, as well as the waste of materials and the lack of effective lubrication. Subsequently, the system structure was designed, defining the elements to be used and the corresponding programming. The design is based on the experience with escalators, with the objective of automating processes that, in certain models, are still carried out manually. Therefore, alternative solutions are proposed that best suit the maintenance needs. As a result, a lubrication control system is developed, defining the controller element and its components. Finally, the system is evaluated by means of a scale model, which allows to analyze the operation of both the ladder and the lubrication system, in order to optimize it is performance through simulation.

Desarrollo de un banco didáctico para la implementación y simulación de un sistema de alarma de seguridad
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-03-11) Paute Criollo, Leandro Geovanny; Zari Jiménez, Kevin Andrés; Llivicura Avila, John Eduardo
An alarm system training bank with smoke, magnetic and motion sensors can be an effective tool for students to understand the operation of security systems. This type of bench allows you to observe, test and adjust the key elements of an alarm system, as well as its response to different stimuli. In this case, motion sensors would be integrated, which detect activity in a certain area; magnetic sensors, which are activated when opening a door or window; and smoke sensors, essential for early detection of fires. To verify operation, students can perform tests in which each sensor is activated under controlled conditions. For example, you can wave your hand in front of the motion sensor to check its response, open and close a door or window equipped with the magnetic sensor, and expose the smoke sensor to some safe smoke. These hands-on tests will help students understand how these sensors send signals to the control panel and activate the alarm or a programmed response. Additionally, this bank can be integrated with mobile or monitoring interfaces for comprehensive and up-to-date learning in the use of modern security systems.

This project consists of designing and building an analog and digital didactic control board for single-phase or three-phase motors. The board shows the functioning and operation of the elements involved during motor's control and start-up. The board is equipped with protection, measurement, and signaling systems for the workshop of the Unidad Académica Técnica y Tecnológica “Salvador Allende” from the Universidad de Cuenca. The didactic board has been designed in such a way that it is divided into energy input zone, thermal protection zone, power zone with contactors and their protection relays, and the control zone with the respective light signaling. These zones help teach students the different ways of starting a single-phase, twophase or three-phase motor. In addition, they help teach motor starting sequences with timing, changes of direction of rotation, and braking and speed changes. This design features slotted plastic raceways, connectors, and conductors. Furthermore, the design has a tomato bottom with wooden mounting base, simulating an industrial board. This test bench is used as a support for theoretical and practical subjects such as: Analog Control and Digital Control from the Instalaciones de Redes Eléctricas technical program. Finally, this test bench allows knowing, visualizing, and analyzing the behavior of voltages, currents, frequencies, and powers of the most common motors in the industry.
