Development of real-time register system for printing press based on μCOS-II

Abstract

The fundamental composition and operating principle of color register system for printing press have been studied. Base on deep analyzing the characteristic of register system at home and abroad, a real-time monitoring system for printing press registration control has been proposed based on multitask real-time operating system μCOS-II. Using Data Flow Diagram analysis method, the register system is divided into five basic tasks. Assigning these tasks' priorities properly and designing inter-task communication and synchronization mechanism, the system performance has been optimized. Finally, its efficiency has been proved by an example. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
