Abstract :
In this work paper we have developed a software, using Matlab/Simulink toolkit, in order to create a connection with the technological plant and the control board with a microcontroller and the computer. The main purpose of the entire plant is to monitor and control in real-time the temperature of the parts inserted into a resistive furnace. The software is based on two m-files, one is created in Simulink and it represents practically the user interface; the second file contains the source code that calculates the control coefficients for the next step for ventilation and heating, it verifies the failures could occur and creates a matrix of the coefficients, in order to make graphics.
