Hi all,
I am building a loss in weight system for one of our 3 layer extruders. I am using a S7 CPU. I have a question about the sampling time accuracy. I was thinking of 4 samples a second. The unit of measure to the operator is kg/h. This machine will eat about 250kg/h of material.
Would a 250ms timer be accurate enough or would I be better served calling a cyclic OB? (Module diagnostics say my current scan time is 2 - 4ms)
N.B this system won't be controlling the extruder speed just yet...
