hello,
i am trying to design a conveyor belt feeder , to output mass flow rate of my bulk material (ore) , we have a belt conveyor and we should install a VFD to the motor and a scale or load cells to the belt, by multiplying speed by weight we get the rate. doing this through the plc and trying to maintain the setpoint by manipulating the speed of the belt. (20 meter belt)
my question is where to install the load cells , should we take a known length segment and weight it , or should we distribute load cells , i heard something about a 2 dimensional load cells array but i didn't get it
please help
thank you.
