Abstract

The article presents the implementation of the OPC communication protocol (Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control) between the mathematical software Matlab and the graphics programming platform LabView to link them with two Programmable Logic Cntrollers (PLC): Siemens S7-300 and Allen Bradley ControlLogix 5566 and to a workstation Festo. In each program, three control techniques (PID, fuzzy logic and LQG) were implemented to regulate the speed of an AC motor coupled with a DC generator and to control the position of an industrial servomotor, Rockwell. The response time obtained with each communication link was analyzed, as well as the advantages of OPC communication and each software.
