20

21

22

Arrays in loop for calculations

23

Controlling Tank Level

Useful when analog signal for tank level is too costly, or impractical because of process conditions.
24

Detect Tank Level

Fluid level is detected by proximity sensors, and sets appropriate program bits.

25

Set Pump Speed when Outside Limits


If the upper limit is reached, the discharge pump is set to max, and the controlled speed is incremented

26

Set Pump Speed when between limits

When the fluid level is between the limits, the pump speed is set to the adjusted speed, and the normal operation of the pump continues until the next time one of the fluid level limits are reached again.
