Time function 1/f for AP40 display

The display controller AP40 is equipped with a 1/f time function. This function shows, dependent on the current speed (frequency f), the corresponding time that is inversely proportional with the frequency. With this function it is possible to show a lead time. This could, for instance, be a cooking time in an oven or another process time. If the speed of the conveyor belt increases, the lead time will shorten.

The calculated time can be shown in different formats. This could be hours, minuts and seconds but for example also only in seconds.

Some uses for this function:

• Cooking time of an automatic oven system
• Displaying procestime of a conveyorbelt system
• Dislplaying lead time of a production line
• Controlling based on production time instead of speed
