control reacts to eliminate measured disturbances before the controlled variable is upset. •This approach is illustrated by Method 3, a combined feedforward-feedback control strategy because both x and x1 are measured. •Finally, Method 4 consists of a process design change and thus is not really a control strategy.

There are two strategy based on the change of feed rate or added water to classifier. Slide 7 effective factors for circulating load First strategy : size of product is controlled by rate of feed and Circulating load by the rate of added water. [8] Second strategy : size of product is controlled by the rate of added water would be controlled.
The target product size required from the crushing circuit will determine the number of crushing stages and types of crushers to be used for a specific application. E.g.. To produce a coarse product a single stage crusher may be required. ... Design of the plant control strategy.

control is the feed setting. However, nowadays is common to flnd in many crushing plants variable speed drives driving conveyor belts, this extra degree of freedom provides the opportunity to improve the speed of response of the control system. This work proposes a simple but efiective control structure to achieve this objective.

You have mentioned what appears to be a rock crushing plant. Maybe the belt conveyors would start up in sequence with the crusher starting first. The days of writing a logic program from a blank sheet of paper are long over, but the 'genius' part of a Control Engineer is to code a logic program into something workable.
Hello Friends there, To maximize the MP 1000 power draw for the tertiary crusher circuit, we try to look at the feeder speed and cavity level to control the power draw. Accurate cavity level measurement is critical for choke feeding the crusher. at the same CSS, what is the best control strategy or
Closed loop response with and without variable speed drives time delays normally found in crushing circuits, enabling a much tight control over the relevant variables. Some guidelines on how to tune this strategy and a tool to asses its robustness are also provided.

There are two kinds of control strategies used in DC choppers namely time ratio control and current limit control. In all situations, the average value of the o/p voltage can be changed. The differences between these two can be discussed below. Time Ratio Control. In the time ratio control the value of the duty ratio, K =TON /T is changed.
Control Circuits are key components in crafting Mekanism machines/tools. They are present in many recipes, and different recipes may require different tiers of Control Circuits. For example, an Energized Smelter would require Basic Control Circuits, but a Chemical Dissolution Chamber would require Ultimate Control Circuits.
