Brushless is the use of control systems to control industrial systems and processes and PLC play a fundamental role in this field. For this reason the automation laboratory begins from the study of the PLC, to allow students the acquisition and the analysis of the techniques related to their programming and their use in control technology, then continues with the presentation of all applications, with the theme of process control and ends with systems for the study of pneumatic, electro-pneumatics, Hydraulics and dell'electro-Hydraulics.

This laboratory has been designed to introduce the fundamentals of Automatic Control Technology. The main functions of processes, controllers and controlled systems are shown on a simulated controlled system, as well as the interactions between the transfer elements of a control loop.

PLECS® tools can be applied to many disciplines of power electronics engineering. Conceived with a top-down approach in mind, PLECS facilitates the modeling and simulation of complete systems, including power sources, power converters, and loads.

Included with PLECS is a comprehensive component library, which covers the electrical, as well as the magnetic, thermal, and mechanical aspects of power conversion systems and their controls. Power electronics circuits are captured with a schematic editor in a way that is familiar and intuitive for electrical engineers. Typical power electronics components such as semiconductors, inductors and capacitors are placed on the circuit diagram and simply connected by drawing wires.

The branch of electronics, which deals with the control of power at supply frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz), is known as power electronics and it is one of the contemporary subjects of electrical engineering that has seen many advancements in recent times and has affected human life in almost all spheres. It is a hybrid of power engineering, analogue electronics, semiconductor devices and control systems. One major field of semiconductor devices has been to control large blocks of power flow in a system that has led to the development of power electronics. Such devices act as controlled switches and can perform the duties of controlled rectification, inversion and regulation of power in a load and the most important switching devices are thyristors or SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier), Triac (Triode for alternating current), Diac (Diode for alternating current), IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) and BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor). Lastly, the electric energy in itself is not usable until it is converted into a tangible form of energy such as motion, sound, heat, light, etc. Technosys has designed a complete laboratory, with industrial components mounted on didactic panels, that covers the main configurations of power electronic circuits such as AC to DC conversion (Rectifiers), AC to AC conversion (fixed AC to variable AC at same input frequency or to AC with variable frequency), DC to DC conversion (Choppers), DC to AC conversion (Inverters) and applications as DC and AC motor driving.

AC-DC conversion - Diodes and SCR

AC-AC conversion - TRIAC and phase control

DC-DC conversion - Chopper and switching supplies

DC-AC conversion - Inverter and frequency converters

DC and AC motor driving

Software

To make some topics, covered in the various laboratories of power electronics, easier and more attractive, De Lorenzo has developed a software that allows studying in automatic mode the subjects concerning diodes and uncontrolled rectifiers, SCR and controlled rectifiers, thyristors and controlled AC/DC converters and induction motor drives. The software is divided in two parts one for power semiconductor devices (diode, SCR and thyristor) and one for variable frequency converter by means of the method of U/F characteristic curve. It is a Windows application that allows user to communicate with Power Electronics configuration through three main devices such as Isolation amplifier unit, PC interface unit and PWM control unit. It allows to work comfortably through a friendly interface, which makes possible to analyze the current configuration, and includes different graphs to monitor performance. It shows up with a very accurate graphic presentation and it is developed in LabVIEW environment.

The Opera Simulation Software Suite is a powerful interactive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software package proven to provide accurate electromagnetic field modelling for all types of machines, including axial flux topologies and linear motion devices. Electromagnetic and other physics solvers, that provide different levels of analysis complexity, are available to offer users the best tools for their requirements. Comprehensive material modelling options (including magnetization, demagnetization in service and full vector hysteresis material model) as well as easy definition of external drive circuits are all geared towards facilitating machines design. The integrated Optimizer provides an efficient route from concept to competitive product. The Machines Environments (ME) is an easy to use, template-driven development tool specifically designed for electrical machines engineers.

Opera-2d offers functionality for designing most radial flux machines in two dimensions, by using the assumption that for the majority of the length of the machine a Cartesian (XY) cross-sectional analysis accurately defines the behaviour.

Opera-3d supplies three dimensional modelling, essential when:

• the length of the machine is short compared to the radius
• the rotor and stator lengths are substantially different and this cannot be adequately compensated for by changes in material properties
• axial flux paths exist that significantly affect the performance
• more accurate representations of the end windings/induced current return paths are needed

Depending on the geometrical complexity and symmetry, users have the option of using either Opera-2d or Opera-3d. Statics, Steady-state and Transient with motion Opera’s Static solver provides an accurate representation of the electromagnetic behaviour of the machine. This is useful for certain types of machines where the fields can be considered as ‘frozen’ in time (as in the case of DC machines) or travelling at the same speed as the rotor (Synchronous Machines), Users can deploy the Steady-state (timevarying AC) solvers for machine analyses that include time varying fields, for example the induction machine or torque vs. slip characterisation.

By using the Transient with motion solvers, users can analyse completely the real-world performance of any machine. This also includes analysis of the effects of mechanical coupling. Losses Opera’s range of solvers allow users to evaluate Iron losses (including eddy current, hysteresis and excess/rotational components) for any type of machine. This can be done using Fourier methods with losses described by Steinmetz based formulations or directly from manufacturers curves. Users can calculate copper losses simply from the current flowing in simulated windings. Opera’s hysteresis solver gives users the ability to obtain explicit hysteresis losses (including rotational component losses and eddy current losses) by explicitly defining the materials’ conductivities. Any loss quantity can be used as a heat source in 2D or 3D? thermal analyses.
