Sterling BF3-600 Determining the Configuration Value, Extrusion Constant or Proportional

Page 49

If a current signal is available (0 - 20 mA) calculate the frequency output of the extruder for the lower / upper working area using the formula:

Frequency [Hz] = Input current [mA] x 10000 [Hz]

 

20 [mA]

Note the data:

 

Min. input frequency = __________ Hz

 

Max. input frequency = __________ Hz

 

Calculate the span factor using the formula:

 

Span factor [Hz / rpm] =

Frequency [Hz]____________

 

Rotational speed of the extruder [rpm]x 10

Note the data:

Span factor = __________

Determining the Configuration Value
