Abstract
The availability of cheap microprocessor chips and peripheral interface chips creates new openings for building a low cost but intelligent controller. It is then possible to implement smart advanced control strategies, e.g. self-adaptive control.
A similar system was developed, initially as controller for residence building heating. Thanks to its versatility it is now also used for greenhouse climate control, incubator control and ventilation control in animal houses. Other applications, also in the non-heating sector, will follow.
This paper gives a full description of the system, i.e. the hardware, the system software, the user interface, the adaptive control algorithms, the application to heating and ventilation control and some typical results from real-life experiments.
