I28-R145-199_oai2026-02-11 Peñaloza López, Marco Antonio Palomino Resendiz, Sergio Flores Hernández, Diego 2025-06-16 This work shows a procedure through which it is possible to reduce the complexity of design, implementation, and tuning of non-conventional controllers for solar tracking systems. This is achieved by programming an STM32F4-NUCLEO board using a high-level language. This is made possible through the use of embedded software (Waijung toolbox) that enables access to the functions and blocks of Matlab-Simulink for the automatic generation and download of C code into STM32F4 microcontrollers. Additionally, the resulting configuration allows the processing resources of a computer to be easily and practically utilized, facilitating a Hardware-in-the-Loop scheme. As a result, the computer can be used as a monitoring and configuration interface, as well as a server for database storage. To validate the proposal, the development procedure and performance tests conducted with an existing solar tracker are presented. Este trabajo muestra un procedimiento a través del cual es posible reducir la complejidad de diseño, implementación y ajuste de controladores no convencionales para sistemas seguidores solares. Lo anterior a través de la programación de una tarjeta STM32F4-NUCLEO en un lenguaje de alto nivel. Esto es posible gracias al uso de un software embebido (toolbox Waijung) que permite disponer de las funciones y bloques pertenecientes a Matlab-Simulink para la generación y descarga automática de código C en microcontroladores de la familia STM32F4. Adicionalmente, la configuración resultante logra disponer de forma fácil y práctica los recursos de procesamiento de una computadora propiciando un esquema de tipo Hardware in the Loop. Por lo que, la computadora puede visualizarse como una interfaz de monitoreo y configuración, así como un servidor para almacenamiento de base de datos. Para validar la propuesta se presenta el procedimiento de desarrollo y pruebas de funcionamiento realizadas con un seguidor solar existente. application/pdf text/html https://elektron.fi.uba.ar/elektron/article/view/199 10.37537/rev.elektron.9.1.199.2025 spa FIUBA https://elektron.fi.uba.ar/elektron/article/view/199/383 https://elektron.fi.uba.ar/elektron/article/view/199/387 Derechos de autor 2025 Marco Antonio Peñaloza López Elektron Journal; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2025); 1-9 Revista Elektron; Vol. 9 Núm. 1 (2025); 1-9 Revista Elektron; v. 9 n. 1 (2025); 1-9 2525-0159 2525-0159 solar tracker Waijung STM32F4 control strategy monitoring and configuration interface seguidor solar Waijung STM32F4 estrategia de control interfaz de monitoreo y configuración Control and Performance Monitoring of Solar Tracking Systems with Embedded Software Control y monitoreo de desempeño de sistemas seguidores solares bajo software embebido info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=elektron&d=199_oai |
