Hi guys. First post
We are working on a project for my company where we get data from some analog and digital transmitters (pressure, on/off switch and level). The level of a tank is given by a 4-20 mA HART Siemens radar and we need to calculate how much is going into the tank (flow rate) in liters per minute or whatever.
We are trying using a blink that grabs the initial level and after X seconds grabs the final value, calculates and then starts over. Waiting is not a problem. We can wait up to a minute to get the refreshed new flow rate. The problem is that it is acting kinda weird. Never trusted blink so much.
The real question is... Is there a way to calculate the flow rate with a ramp or something like that? What would be the best solution?
Thanks in advance!
