I am currently running a small scale corn to ethanol production facility
using a 100mhz 486 and Computer Boards interfaces. We have 18
thermocouples, two vari-speed motors, 5000w heaters, 3... 1.5hp
motor/pumps.
The system has been working fairly well for us...only problem is ...noise
coming into the system disrupting the thermocouple readings. We are
currently able to keep the readings within acceptable limits (2 deg. F)
with software smoothing.
We are getting ready to set up a greenhouse next to the operation...so I
would be interested in keeping in touch with your progress.
