Upon a first time start-up of the process, the yield control system is placed in the Manual Mode.
The LIW controller learns the rate of the material flow through the mass flow hopper within 45
seconds and enters the logarithmic value in the control parameters. The controller will display the
learned yield rate and indicate the process can be switched into the Auto or Locked Mode. A
target value for the product weight per length desired is entered as a set point on the LIW
controller. The system can be switched into the Auto or Lock Mode and the speed of the extruder
will be adjusted to maintain the target weight per length value. As the line speed is increased to a
production level, the LIW controller will acknowledge the change and increase the signal to the
drive to maintain the desired product yield. The reaction of the LIW system to the process rate
change is almost instantaneous and will settle at the desired yield within 45 seconds of the
process reaching the final speed.
Once the LIW controller learns the throughput rate of a material, it is stored in the memory of the
controller. The controller can be left in the Auto or Locked mode if the same material is continued
or a similar bulk density material is used. If a new material with a different bulk density is used, the
start-up procedure must be re-initiated. According to the configuration of the XC program the
drives will simultaneously increase or decrease as either the line speed, throughput or gauge
requirements are changed.
