WHY DIGITAL CONTROLLER BOX?
FAST
To provide a good and dynamic controlling, it is necessary to develop the DCB with the focus on a fast controller.
SUSTAINABLE
The DCB combines the hardware and software required for performing controlling simulation. Complicated controller software implementation or hardware configuration is no longer required.
EASY
Because of the DCB's intuitive user interface everybody can profit from it, no matter if it is used for development or education purposes.
HOW IT WORKS
Controller & On-Board Display
Mainly, the task of the digital controller is controlling data or voltages, which are delivered by the hardware. To adjust the controller, an on-board-display directly running from the microcontroller can be used.
For this task an ARDUINO UNO-System and a touch display have been utilized.
In- & Output Circuit
In order to be able to process the incoming voltages an input-circuit was developed, to process the output-data of the controller into DC voltage, an output-circuit was developed. The supply for the controller and the server are also provided by a circuit.
Web-Access via Server
The website for the web-access of the controller adjustment is running on a server, providing several functions to comfortably adjust, optimize and visualize the controller data.
The server is running on a Raspberry Pi 3B.
