Development of Automatic Control System and Data Acquisition System for an Environmental Chamber

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA238299 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The objectives of this project were to design, fabricate, and install automatic control and data acquisition systems on an environmental chamber. The control system maintains the chamber pressure to within 1 mmHg, temperature to within 1 F, and humidity to within 3 relative humidity, using a modern distributed process control system. The data acquisition system records data, using a minicomputer that is compatible with existing DEC equipment. This report contains information from the final system specification and configuration item development specification for each system.
