Machine Control System for Electronic Measurement of Skin Area Based on Pic16f Series Microcontrollers

Problem statement. Equipment for measuring skin area used at enterprises requires regular maintenance and metrological verification. Maintenance of control systems released in the 2000s is usually expensive, since such control systems are physically and morally outdated and implemented on an old element base. The mechanical part of the measuring machines is in good condition and can be operated for a long time. Therefore, the task of creating a modern control system for such machines is relevant. The purpose of the work is to develop a microprocessor control system for existing machines for measuring skin area. Practical significance. The implementation of the set goal will significantly reduce the costs of maintenance and repair of control systems for machines for measuring skin area. Also, a modern control system will allow to increase the functionality, improve diagnostics and use a modern interface for reporting and accounting of products. Such a control system has been implemented and has been operated for a long time at enterprises in Lviv and Frankivsk regions.
