Hello Guys,
I've built a HERMS system as shown on the picture below.
The system consists of:
- 3 kettles (Hot Liquor Tank, Mash Tun, Boil Kettle)
- High pressure burners
- BCS-460 controller
To control the burner I will attach a servo-motor on the gas valve. An exemple of the valve and the servo is shown on the pictures below.
This servo usually works with the following characteristics:
- Output period: 20 milliseconds
- Min pulse: 1 milliseconds (0 degree) - i.e. 5%
- Max pulse: 2 milliseconds (180 degrees) - i.e 10%
The problem is that the BCS unit works with a minimum granularity of the pulse of 0.1 seconds.
I am a Mechanical Engineer, so I don't understand much about electronic components. Anybody figured out how to control the servo using a BCS controller?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
