Follower Mode Analog Feedback Example
The following example demonstrates Follower mode scaling using analog feedback:
A pump delivers 20.0 gallons per minute of ingredient A when the pump
motor rotates at 1800 RPM. A second pump delivers 10.0 gallons per
minute of ingredient B when the pump motor rotates at 1800 RPM. A
tachometer connected to the analog input of the MLP-Trim produces a
10.0 volt signal when the pump B (follower) motor rotates at 1800 RPM.
The lead motor A has an encoder feedback of 1000 PPR. The Follower
setpoint is to reflect the flow ratio in gallons/minute of ingredient B to
ingredient A.
