Microcontroller Based Temperature Control of Oven Using Different Kinds of Autotuning PID Methods.

This paper presents microcontroller based autotuning proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for an oven designed as an experiment set. Different types of autotuning PID controller methods have been examined. Proportional, P, control method has been applied first. Relay and integral square time error criterion (ISTE) tuning methods are used as autotuning PID method. For relay tuning method, proportional (P), proportional-integral (PI) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and for ISTE disturbance (PI, PID) have been used. These methods have been applied to the experiment set which is an FODPT (First Order Plus Dead Time) system. To be able to control this system a digital signal processing card is designed. PIC17C44 is used as microcontroller and ADS1212 is used as A/D converter. And the results are discussed to define which controller is the best for this experiment set. Key words: Adaptive control, autotuning PID methods, temperature control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
