    DOS speed not what is should be

    dos pump.png

    I should be doing 250 ml per minute but it is only pumping about 40 ml/minute. It is set to do 90000ml in 24 hours but is not even close to that. Neither pump is doing the 250.

    I calibrated both pumps.

    It looks right to me. The DOS will not do the 250ml/min for 11 minutes. It doses for a about 2.5 minutes every eleven.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    No, the schedule shown says it should be 250 ml/minute and dose of 692, but when it was running I had tested it by having it pump into a measure and it was 33 ml/min.

    Did you calibrate It?

    Was the line fully primed before your test?

    What was your test procedure?

    The screen shot shows how it is programmed, here is a video of what it is actually doing. Trying to explain it is too complicated.

    As mentioned in my first post, I did calibrate it and it was, is, fully primed. Test was pumping into a graduated vial as seen it the videos here:

    30ml/Min is the speed of the pump when it is ON (as opposed to being operated with tdata or a profile). This sounds like a programming issue. Switch to Basic view and post the raw programming.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    That apparently is (was) the problem. Here is the "current" program:
    Fallback OFF
    tdata 00:00:00,1,16,19,31,2,88,143,19,46,2,28,10,0
    If AWCsw9 CLOSED Then OFF
    If Output Leak_detect = ON Then OFF

    I had a Set ON statement after the If AWCsw9 CLOSED Then OFF statement. Not sure why I did that.
