NoiseFor simplicity we can distinguish two sources of noise:
Noise caused by internal disturbs of the system
Noise caused by external disturbs
These disturbs are, in general, discontinous, accidental and random in time
These disturbs are, in general, continous andperiodic in time

Internal disturbs Disturbs in ingress of the control system given directly by the action of thermocouples Problems operating on the system control
subsequent to the level of the components that generate the parameters Magnetic noise produced also by the power supply
Dirsturbs acting on the sensible element that have to be measured given by the furnaces
Problems caused by disturbs resulting by the ground reference loop

External disturbs External electromagnetic influences due to humans (for exemple with the use of cellular telephone) due to other instruments in the lab Mechanical disturbs produced by humans produced by mechanical vibrations
Capacitative induced effects given by external effects (vibrations again)

• Thermal noiseThermal noise is caused by the thermal agitation of charge carriers in a conductor.
• Burst noisealso called popcorn noise, appears to be related to imperfections in semiconductor material and heavy ion implants.
• Flicker noiseFlicker noise is also called 1/f noise. It is present in all active devices that work with low frequency signals and has various origins. Flicker noise is always associated with a DC current, so it is the main noise internal cause.
• DriftTemperature, ageing and packaging stress cause time-varying offset
Lots of noises!

• Offset and 1/f noise are “inside” the system
• But we can reduce the offset “enough” by– 1.Using “large” devices and good layout – 2.Dynamic offset-cancellation (DOC)
techniques
• DOC techniques also reduce 1/f noise!

Auto-zeroingSampled dataOffset sample, then subtract
ChoppingContinuous time
Modulate offset away from DC
Frequently chopping is significantly better than auto-zeroing

Existing electronic made at INRiM A CT 9001 and a CT 9000 modules for
- conditioning thermocouple signal - reset possible drift - fine temperature control
An Euroterm commercial controller module is then used to control the power supplied to the furnace

CT 9000 is an amplifier module that amplifies the signal from thermocouple with a x10, x100, x1000 gain. It is possible a check zero to see the presence of offset and drift. Moreover, it is possible to add to output signal of this module an offset signal EΔ, adjustable in the first fine regulation (±10k) with 2k/cursor number; in ultra-fine regulation, for each number it is possible to adjust of 0.2k/cursor step. For second fine regulation (±2.5k) it is possible to adjust at 0.5k/cursor number and in ultra-fine regulation, for each number it is possible to adjust at 0.05k/step level.

• Thermocouple output voltage is amplified by a low noise amplifier (LNA), converted in a digital signal and sent to the micro-controller.
• The micro-controller compares the voltage/temperature value with a reference value and supply the power in the
furnace with the pulse width modulation (PWM) technique

The software will be developed in order to reach the complete control of the electronics, I/O interfacing and routines.
It allows to set the specific requirements by selecting: – Type of input sensor and temperature range – Control algorithm needed (PID) – Number and type of outputs (heat, cool, alarm,)– Scale of application, set points, alarm points.

A firmware, made of several functions, will be written and loaded in the memory inside of micro-controller to satisfy the required specifications. These functions can be called both by on board keyboard and from a PC.
Data can be saved and on line graphs can be obtained.
