Design of a microprocessor-based control system of a compression molding process

Today a microprocessor-based control system is a fundamental component in many of the industrial control and automation applications. In this paper is presented the design and implementation of a microprocessor-based computer system for the control and operation of a compression molding process system. The application circuit developed is a specific design of a low-cost embedded system. Simulation and analysis tests were carried out to verify the design of the prototype circuit board. Final evaluation of system's performance was conducted in real-time experiments.
