Hysteresis when switching from Diff Speed to Torque control

The Adaptive Torque Control function is an advanced backdrive torque regulation algorithm developed by Alfa Laval. It
controls the conveyor torque by changing the differential speed based on a mathematical model of the decanter. The
torque control is adaptive. This means that the program analyzes the effect of the torque control and automatically changes
the control parameters to match the process situation. Adaptive Torque Control is enabled with parameter P379 and set up
with the parameters P359-P376.

Additive Ratio Control feature goal is to supply a quantity of additive that is proportional to the amount of solids fed into
the decanter centrifuge. The additive dosage is constantly adjusted to correspond to the solids load at any given time.
Based on dewatering process knowledge, the operator manually sets the additive dosage needed. The Additive Ratio
Control algorithm records this ratio and monitors any changes in solids load. If the amount of solids in the feed increases,
the polymer dosage will also increase. If the solids concentration decreases, so does the amount of additive fed to the
decanter. Additive Ratio Control is set up with the parameters P910, P916-920, uses setpoints S903 and S904.

P1201 Dilution P Gain 0 0.7 10000 admin

Parameters 36/39
61211290 Decanter 2Touch Parameters and Alarms R31
Proportional gain for closed loop PI-control of the dilution water pump. As high as possible, because this makes
the closed-loop control circuit faster and more precise. However, a value that is too high may lead to overshoots
or even undamped oscillation (instability). The value can be doubled in intervals until the risk of oscillation
becomes apparent.

units min default max access


P1202 Dilution I Time 0 10 10000 admin

Integral Time for closed loop PI-control of the dilution water pump. Smaller integral action times result in a

oscillation) influence the step-response. The integrator is disabled when the value is zero.
