Automation of Energy Systems

• Introduction to programmable controllers.
• Components and systems: processors, memory systems,
discrete I / O systems, analog I / O systems, dedicated I / O
function and serial communication interface.
• Basic PLC Programming: PLC language types, Structure List
(STL), Ladder, SFC and Functional Block Diagram (FBD).
• Solve automations with KARNAUGH arrays and BOOLE
algebra.
• Advanced PLC Programming
• Operation and cooperation of AC Drive and PLC.
• Input-output devices: control transformers, fuses, switches,
switches, relays, analog signal (voltage, current, power,
temperature, pressure, liquid level, flow, etc.) transducers /
transmitters.
• Conversion and processing of analog signals.
• Design programs with emphasis on power supply and
management applications

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able
to:
• identify and explain the main features of the design, the
internal architecture, and the operating principles of the
programmable logic controllers (PLC),
• use input and output devices used in PLC systems,
• use the basic communication links involved in PLC systems,
• implement advanced automation in all PLC programming
languages.
• use LADDER, FBD programs that include internal relays
(memories or flag), timers, counters, shift registers, clocks and
handle application data, PI and PID controllers.
• configure AC DRIVES and implement PLC and AC DRIVES
collaboration programs to drive propulsion systems and reduce
energy consumption.
• Study and implement industrial production processes
• to detect security issues with PLC systems,
• use methods to save energy through automation.
use methods for fault diagnosis and tests.

The evaluation is performed in Greek language. It consists of 30%
of the laboratory exercises (Problem Solving), 20% of the written
work and its public presentation and 50% of the final exam. For
the successful completion of the course, the average of the above
criteria must be equal to or greater than 5. The criteria are
accessible by everyone on the course website.
