Design of temporal logic embedded controller for small oven process

Abstract

This paper presents the approach to design Temporal Logic embedded controller for temperature control applications that require both precision control and affordable costs. The proposed Temporal Logic embedded control system which is based on form of On-Off control devices can provide high precision and accuracy, furthermore; decrease the damage to contactors and valves by slowing down the control cycling. The performance of control system was tested with Fio board, STM32F103RE ARM 32-bits microcontroller, Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder and Simulink program. The time domain characteristics were compared with On-Off Stateflow and PID control method. The experimental results have been shown that the design of Temporal Logic embedded controller can achieve the performance specification requirement in temperature control. © 2011 ICROS.
