In this example, water (x1) must be batched as a percentage of
the total (paste; x1+x2). As the paste quantity is not available
directly as a measurement signal, the total is calculated inter-
nally from x1 and x2. N0 = 0 must also be adjusted in this case.

Unlike the previous examples, yoghurt (x2) and the final product
(x1) are measured in this case.

is
the difference between the steam and water flow rates. Factor
b for flow range matching used so far is omitted, because the
mA signals are converted directly into physical units during in-
put value conditioning (x0, x100). The calculated process value
is displayed on the process value display.
For selecting a three-element controller, ‘
CFunc =
3-elem.‘ must be entered in the configuration.
Correcting variable processing
The following considerations related to
correcting variable processing are appli-
cable to continuous controllers,
two-point, three-point and three-point
stepping controllers with position feed-
back. The diagram opposite shows the
functions and interactions of correcting
variable processing.
