A microprocessor based weighing and feed control system

This paper describes the development of a micro-processor based computer control system for the raw material weighing and feed system of a submerged arc ferro-alloy furnace. The system is designed to replace the more conventional semi-automatic analogue controller at present in use in many installations. It may be used either as a stand-alone unit or as an out-station in a distributed control computer-based system. In the latter, the micro-processor unit forms an intelligent peripheral to the central control computer.
