The core of the system is MSP430F14X single-chip computer. The first is the foundation of a model . Through reasonable equipment of hardware and appropriate selection of heating model by the design of software to make the control meet the demands of different phases of the control model .The collection module of the system uses thermistor PT100 as the element of the temperature measurement , and the control module uses the optical shutter . The heating voltage is controlled by optical shutter . The control has the advantages of sensitive and dependable and strong ability of resisting disturbance . It expounds emphatically the hardware structure of the system, the main function, and the process of the system software design . Key Words: MSP430F14X; model curve ; heating mode ; optical shutter ; PT100
