This paper describes a programmable electronic equipment for controlling the environmental parameters and managing the electrical functions of a thermo-solar plant. The control unit acquires data from analog sensors, processes these information and commands external actuation devices in order to optimize plant performances improving efficiency and energy saving. The designed electronic system has a touch-screen display for graphical interface with users, which makes device programming and managing operations easier. In addition to, the system is accessible via PC terminal on site by RS232 serial cable and from Android-based mobile devices connected to internet network for remote monitoring, since control unit is connected to a modem/router device with an RS485/Ethernet adapter.
