Esta situação motivou e direcionou o objetivo do presente trabalho que foi utilizar ferramentas abertas, inovadoras, de utilização atual na indústria, para desenvolver um módulo laboratorial, com características multivariáveis, emulando a ambiência industrial, no que tange às dinâmicas das malhas selecionadas. Foram utilizados o protocolo de comunicação digital "OLE for Process Control - OPC" e software "Free and Open Source Software - FOSS" Scilab, ambas ferramentas de código aberto. O protocolo OPC é específico para ambientes industriais, agregando qualidades que propiciam o gerenciamento e controle de um sistema em tempo real com eficiência e qualidade. E o software Scilab, uma ferramenta FOSS que, dentre suas diversas funcionalidades, permite o desenvolvimento e a comunicação de um supervisório para um sistema físico, interagindo através do protocolo de comunicação OPC. Para o alcance da proposta foi desenvolvido um módulo laboratorial multivariável para controle de processos, que permitiu a modelagem e o controle de um sistema composto por malhas de nível e temperatura, comuns no meio industrial. Foi ainda desenvolvido um ambiente supervisório amigável que contempla técnicas diferenciadas de controle para o controlador "Proportional Integral Derivative - PID", além de análise e controle de dinâmicas monovariáveis e multivariáveis do sistema. / In face of the challenges of the current industrial systems, which needs to operate in an economic, efficient and sustainable forms, new procedures and strategies for control these processes are always in search of innovation. This situation motivated and directed the aim of this work that was to use open tools, innovative, current use in industry, to develop a laboratory module, with characteristics multivariable, emulating the industrial ambience, with respect to the dynamics of the selected loops. We used the digital communication protocol " OLE for Process Control - OPC software" and " Free and Open Source Software - FOSS" Scilab, both open source tools. The OPC protocol is specific to industrial environments, adding qualities that enable the management and control of a real-time system with efficiency and quality. And the Scilab software, FOSS tool that, among its many features, allows the development and communication of a supervisory for a physical system, interacting throught the OPC communication protocol. For the scope of the proposal we developed a laboratory module for multivariable process control, allowing the modeling and control of a system composed of meshes of level and temperature, common in industry. It was also developed an environment friendly supervisory techniques which includes different control for the "Proportional Integral Derivative - PID" controller, as well as analysis and control of dynamic SISO and multivariable of the system.

Motivation is not something that we can take for granted. Some would say that motivation in the workplace is key for optimal performance and production. This master thesis looks into how shift-based operators in industrial work environments can sustain motivation, with the help of Self-Determination Theory, looking deeper into Autonomous motivation and how this can be a change in how operators perform, even in the long shift hours that are common in process control industries. This thesis aims to evaluate the current motivational drivers with operators. What keeps operators motivated in their work today? What type of motivation is lacking in their current workplace? And, how can they keep their motivation for a longer time? The method includes observations, surveying, and interviews. The results showed that there is a lower motivation in three subcategories of intrinsic behavior; Pressure/Tension, Perceived Choice, and Value/Usefulness. This thesis work is part of the research project Interactive Process Control, at Umeå University. By using these insights there is an opportunity to target these motivations in the future development of the IPC interactive tool.
