Minimum switch-on time of a category
This further parameter is present for every category. This allows to define the minimum switch-on time of
every stage of the category and has the purpose of preventing that the machines are kept on for a period that
is too brief, with negative impact on the yield of the same. In practice, when a stage is switched on, it can be
switched off only after the “minimum switch-on time” has passed, whatever the rules of the regulation
algorithm described in the relative paragraph; for example, referring to Figure 16, if the time passing between
points 2 and 4 is less than the “minimum switch on time”, the first stage would not be switched off in point 4,
but later, after the “minimum switch on time” calculated from point 2. It is clear that the use of too high a
value of this parameter can lead to poor regulation, as the respect for the minimum switch on time will cause
frequent and consistent breaches in the rules of the normal algorithm; on the other hand, too low a value will
lead to the machine being switched on for very short periods, which will compromise yield.
