Figure 1-2 is an example of the Follower mode of operation in a pump application. The
scaling format allows the operator to enter the setpoint as a ratio of ingredient B to
ingredient A. The MLP–Trim compares the setpoint ratio to the Follower sensor shaft
feedback and Lead sensor shaft feedback to calculate any speed error. When the
MLP–Trim finds speed error, the control algorithm adjusts the Speed Command Out to
the motor drive and reduces the error to zero.
