A soldering station controller for two types heater
Kabsuk Oh · Journal of Power System Engineering · 2015
This paper introduced a design method of soldering station that can control two types of soldering iron heater. At design time, to distinguish two types of soldering iron heater the voltage divider rule has been applied, and the distinguished resistor is inserted to handler of soldering iron to prevent misuse by users. And an algorithm to design a PID controllers is proposed. The proposed controllers parameter which can be easily realized, and are designed by using the input output data from systems, and have outstanding ability making the output response of nonlinear systems similar to the desired one. Temperature control experiments were performed to verify the ability of the suggested controller. As a result, suggested PID controller followed the desired ones, and one soldering station can control the various type of soldering irons in real time.
