Hi,
I am thinking of using two PID loop to control the following application.
The loops will control the weight from two filling stations where product is filled into boxes.
The weight of the box is controlled via the product height, product too heavy reduce height and product too light increase height.
I am looking for an operating speed of 10 boxes per minute 5 per station. Therefore each station will be filled 5 times every minute.
Do you think that PID control is suitable for this application and if so would a sampling time of say 12 seconds be suitable. One sample for every box filled.
Would appreciate your comments.
