Follower Mode Analog Lead Example
The following example demonstrates Follower mode scaling using analog lead:
A pump delivers 20.0 gallons per minute of ingredient A when the pump
motor rotates at 1800 RPM. A second pump delivers 40.0 gallons per
minute of ingredient B when the pump motor rotates at 1800 RPM. A
potentiometer connected to the analog input of the MLP-Trim produces
a 10.0 volt signal when the pump A (lead) motor rotates at 1800 RPM.
The following motor B has an encoder feedback of 30 PPR. The Fol-
lower setpoint is to reflect the flow ratio in gallons/minute of ingredient B
to ingredient A.
