Along with the advancement of
technology and the evolution of the electronics
appliances, the device’s temperature fault issue
is still not properly solved. Temperature
monitoring and controlling is not only vital to
prolong the life span of the devices but also as
the safety precaution especially in the laboratory
where surrounded by mass and expensive
electronics appliances. Those appliances require
operating in long hours. However, the
electronics devices are sensitive to the
surrounding and internal temperature. The
widely change and unstable temperature will
easily spoils the device or even lead to fire
disaster when the temperature excess the
maximum or minimum of the device’s
temperature tolerance ranges. A normal
thermometer does not provide temperature
alarming and environment control capability.
Thus, a real-time temperature monitoring and
control system is a need. The developed system
will monitor and control room temperature
according to the user setting without affects to
the internal electrical component. The design
can be used it as a full system or separated uses
for variety purposes such as temperature
detector, alarm capabilities and room
temperature control. Besides that, the developed system is portable where it is flexible to place to
the appliance with high risk of temperature fault.
The system design is through the detection of
room temperature by the digital temperature
sensor and sends the data to microcontroller.
The developed algorithm will process the data
and give command to the controller outputs.
The activated controller output will respond
accordingly to control the room temperature.
