Experimental modular platform for the fuzzy control of the temperature inside an enclosure

The paper deals with an experimental hardware platform designed in a modular way in order to implement and test different control algorithms for the temperature inside a thermal enclosure. For a fast and efficient design, most of the acquisition, control and peripheral boards are taken from a modular ready to use family. In order to exploit all the software and hardware facilities support, some extra boards were designed. The enclosure uses a thermoelectric element that is able to realize the heating or cooling by means of a special power supply, described also in the paper. The functionality aspects and the quality results are proved by the on-line recordings.
