A control system has been developed for a prototype drying and disinfection cabinet, which serves to refresh already worn clothes, enabling their reuse and thus reducing the need for washing. Initially, a closed loop control design for temperature and ozone concentration within the device is designed. Appropriate sensors, actuators, and controllers are selected. Software and a graphical user interface are developed, enabling easy operation of the device via a touchscreen. The control system supports two modes of operation. The first mode allows only system monitoring based on the measurement of physical quantities in the system, while the second also enables control and management of the device. Testing results show that the developed method of controlling temperature and ozone concentration meets the requirements of the control specifications and achieves the set goals in terms of flexibility and ease of use.
