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 ML-Drive compares the setpoint ratio to the Follower sensor shaft
(feedback) and Lead sensor shaft to calculate any speed error. When the ML-Drive
finds speed error, the control algorithm adjusts the drive output and reduces the error to
zero.
