Hello everyone,
I have a question in my mind. I am working on bag-filling process. Now i have a motor that brings goods and a loadcell. My loadcell is checking the weight of my bag and my motor keeps bringing goods. Now after a certain point(preferably at the near end of filling when its like 95-98%) i want my motor to slow down. And i worked around that with a simple way(posted the pics)
My required_weight_sp(my desired weight value) - Actual product weight gives me the required weight for a slow fill. Lets say my SP is 2500 and my actual weight is 1000. That means my slow fill required weight is 1500. Then i constantly check that 1500 until it becomes lower than my Slow_fill_limit which is 500(which is a still value btw). So when my weight becomes 2000 my slow fill required weight becomes 500, after my actual weight becomes 2001 it will start pouring it slower(In my pic it doesnt show but when step6 becomes activated i drop the motor speed to %30).
Now this is working just fine. But lets say my motor is carrying a low amount of material and my loadcell is counting up slowly(even though the motor is in full speed). I dont want it slow down because its already filling the bag slowly so my Slow_fill_Limit needs to be lower for that particular instance.
Cant we Slow down the motor relative to the speed of weight increase? So if my motor is giving me 100grams/second instead of 200grams/second slow_fill_limit should be 250grams instead of the usual 500 grams. Can you please help me?
