Abstract
Plastic is a versatile material found in virtually any type of product, however, due to its long-life cycle it has become an environmental problem. Therefore it is necessary to determine this cycle using an aging chamber, although previous research has already focused on this equipment, most implement ON-OFF or PID controllers, so it is proposed to design and implement a fuzzy controller using a microcontroller and Python, based on the ASTMD-4329 standard and simulating different sequences (sunrise, midday, sunset and night), In addition a preheating cycle is proposed, to verify the correct behavior the controller is compared with a simulation performed in Matlab giving a similarity of 96% for the sequence of half day to obtain this value is used the criterion of the Integral of time and Absolute Error (ITAE), finally all the sequences are implemented where the parameters established by the standard are met.
