Abstract
A control device for a combustion apparatus, which can detect failure of components and a method for controlling the combustion apparatus are disclosed. More particularly to a control device and a method for a combustion apparatus utilizing fuzzy logic reasoning in order to maintain accurate temperature control are disclosed.
Claims6
A method for controlling an apparatus, said method comprising the steps of:
- inputting a predetermined temperature value into a microprocessor;
- detecting a voltage value of a power supply;
- determining a variation in voltage from said power supply by comparing the detected voltage from said power supply with a reference voltage value stored in said microprocessor;
- detecting a temperature variation;
- determining a fuzzy correlation by comparing a variation in room temperature stored in said microprocessor with the detected temperature variation over a predetermined time period;
- and
- displaying an operating state, which corresponds to said variation in voltage or said fuzzy correlation, of the apparatus on a display.
