Development of the Online Automatic Measuring System for Total Sugar Content in Chlortetracycline Fermenter

Abstract

To realize online automatic measuring of total sugar content in chlortetracycline fermenter, we developed an online automatic measuring system based on MSP430 microcomputer. We designed the automatic sampling, filtering and washing of fermented liquid by controlling the I/O of MSP430 and the relay. The data of total sugar content was sampled and processed by MSP430. The data of total sugar content can display clearly and easily on host computer with the RS232 serial port connection between MSP430 and host computer. The software of this system was programed with C language based on IAR for MSP430 environment. The experiment results show that the online automatic measuring system of total sugar content in chlortetracycline fermenter can be met the demand of practical application.
