Modeling laboratory equipment expands acquired knowledge in the practice.

Modelamiento de equipos de laboratorio como estrategia para amplir conocimientos adquiridos en prácticas

This article shows the procedure carried out by the research hotbed called “ Automatools” in which the creation of a didactic prototype allows the student from ETITC to get familiarized with the control and monitoring of liquid levels. The research draws from the comparison of a hydraulic circuit and with an equivalent analog elec- trical circuit, and subsequently through transform of Laplace, convert the electrical circuit domain "t" to domain "s", the control algorithm to the system is established through the implementing mathematical modeling. Once the result is obtained, the resulting model is implemented through programming blocks using microcontrollers such as Arduino and monitoring systems like Lab View.
