Abstract
In an aspect, data representative of an electrical value is received and a target value for an inductive load based on the electrical value is accessed from memory of the controller. A target value for an inductive load can be accessed based on the electrical value. A transfer function based algorithm can be implemented for determining a set point value using the electrical value the set point value can be applied on a triode for alternating current (TRIAC). Operation of the inductive load to the target power responsive to the applying of the set point value on the TRIAC can be adjusted. The operation of the inductive load at the target power causes operation of the inductive load at the target value.

A device comprising:
- an electronic controller including memory, a power supply, a power sensor, a triode for alternative current (TRIAC), and an inductive load;
- the TRIAC in operable communication with the electronic controller and the inductive load;
- the power sensor in operable communication with the electronic controller and the power supply and configured to detect an electrical value;
- the electronic controller configured to:
- implement an algorithm for determining a set point value using the electrical value;
- apply the set point value on the TRIAC;
- and
- adjust operation of the inductive load to a target power responsive to the application of the set point value on the TRIAC.
A method implemented by a controller, the method comprising:
- receiving data representative of an electrical value;
- implementing an algorithm for determining a set point value using the electrical value;
- applying the set point value on a triode for alternative current (TRIAC);
- and
- adjusting operation of an inductive load to a target power responsive to the applying of the set point value on the TRIAC.
A system comprising:
- a power source;
- a device including a power supply, a triode for alternative current (TRIAC), an inductive load, and at least one data processor that is communicatively coupled to the TRIAC;
- and
- memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one data processor, causes the at least one data processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining an electrical value;
- implementing an algorithm for determining a set point value using the electrical value;
- applying the set point value on the TRIAC;
- and
- adjusting operation of the inductive load to a target power responsive to the applying of the set point value on the TRIAC, the operation of the inductive load at the target power causes operation of the inductive load at a target value.
