Abstract

This paper presents the development of a process control interface system (PCIS) for a distillation pilot plant that is based on the communication protocol called MODBUS. MODBUS communicates the computer (used as a control unit) with the process because it allows an efficient, flexible, and reliable system. The interface system is presented in an operator-friendly application, which has the capability to monitor the variables, manipulate actuators, and tune the controllers in the distillation process.
