Microprocessor-based controller with synchronous reset.

摘要

A microprocessor-based controller with synchronous reset operates in synchrony with a recurring signal coupled to its reset terminal and executes a predetermined linear program during each active portion of the recurring signal. The controller remains in an inactive state until the recurring signal again triggers a successive active state. The controller is applicable to control applications requiring high reliability, while retaining the flexibility afforded by a microprocessor-based system. The preferred embodiments of the microprocessor-based controller are applied to combustible fuel burners employing various operating strategies.
