Abstract

See full text

The accuracy of the output feed rate or output feed quantity of a differential dosing scale is increased by eliminating from the respective feed rate signal or output quantity signal measuring disturbance that can adversely influence the output accuracy. For this purpose, the size of the output signal variations or of the feed rate variations are processed in a fuzzy logic circuit (9) which allocates the respective signals to fuzzy sets, e.g. 'small', 'medium', 'large' in accordance with type and size of the disturbance or interference. The fuzzy logic circuit (9) forms a filter control signal that corresponds to a filtering degree or filter factor. The filtering control signal controls the time constant of a time variable filter (6) through which the differentiated signal coming from the dosing scale load cells is passed prior to processing in the fuzzy logic circuit (9).
