Figure 5.12  Ratio Blending with Side Stream Configuration 
 
At the component-level, I/O assignments can be made for product pumps, etc.  The product selection (BV) valves 
used in this example are not configured in the Component section, however.  They are operated by a Custom 
Logic routine.  The following routine can be used to steer the Side-Stream component into the Meter 2 stream, 
when Meter 1 is not used in a blend. 
Custom Logic is configured in the Configuration/Custom Logic Menu.  Lines 000 through 005 direct the BV for 
Component 1 to open, when Meter 1/Component 1 is used in the blend.  If both Meter 1 and Meter 2 are being 
used to make a blend, the side-stream will default to Meter 1.  Lines 006-011 direct BV2 to open when Meter 
1/Component 1 is not used in a blend.
