Abstract :
In this paper, a microcontroller-based temperature controller for furnaces and ovens is introduced. Improvements are attained on the two basic problems of the controllers in naturally-cooled furnaces, namely, the oscillations caused by integral control and the variation in system parameters depending on the materials inside the furnace. A low-cost microcontroller is used for the effectiveness and simplicity of the control algorithm
