The liquid from one of the three reservoir tanks is pumped into the main tank in a controlled manner by opening the respective two-way ball valve. The finished mixture can be pumped to the next station via a second pump or pumped back to the reservoir tank. Measurement and Control The mixing station blends three raw materials according to a set recipe using a constant flow rate. An electro-magnetic flow sensor records the flow rate, which is displayed using a variable-area flowmeter. The output signal from the flow sensor is converted to a standard signal from 0 – 10 V. The mixing station can also be actuated through binary means using the integrated comparator. The controller adjusts the necessary flow rate via the pump with analog control using a simple two-point controller or various dynamic controllers such as P, PI or PID. This permits a clear explanation of control technology. Always the Right Mixture The mixing station includes pumps, valves, sensors, and electronic modules for signal conversion, providing a versatile selection from process engineering. Sensors detect container levels and prevent overflow using extra sensors, eliminating overflow risks. Signal converters convert all analog signals to standard signals from 0 – 10 V. Practical for the purpose of experimentation: integrated comparators also supply purely binary signals. Two-way ball valve with rack and pinion combination with a constant torque characteristic across the entire swivel range and directly connected NAMUR valve.
