GMC-P7 5. Flowrate Function 5.1 Real-time Flowrate Flowrate calculation principle: Everytime when start, make note for turn on time t0,start feeding, till empty finish a whole process. Set discharge value as DiscVal(1). Before start the second process, make note the second start time t1,then will know the time of dT(1),start the second feeding.
GMC-P7 5.2 Expected Flowrate Function Description When “Expected Flowrate” function is turn ON, when controller running will compute the conversion based on the“Expected Flowrate value”and“Target”,Calculate the time required to process a feeding process, then controller waits until the calculated time is up before start discharge.
