12 DOSING BY UNLOADING OPERATING MODE
The dosing by unloading operating mode is a way to monitor a dosing cycle of a product by measuring the weight in
loss from a tank equipped with a load cell. In this operating mode, the dosing process is fully managed by eNod4-D.
With its four digital outputs, it allows the monitoring of all steps of the dosing cycle.
Fig. 8 and 9 shown below represent graphically how a dosing by unloading cycle is working and what is the influence
of the variables involved.
Note: Except the ‘reloading max and min levels’, the variables set used for delimiting the phases of the cycle on the
graph are related to the reference weight.
