so that the ratio between this flow and another flow, say F1 , is
F2 = KF1 (1)
where K is a specified ratio which may have been calculated as an
optimal ratio from a process model.

4. (15%) Figure 3 shows the cascade control system. The primary loop
performs level control. The secondary loop is a control loop for the
mass flow on the conveyor belt. The mass flow is measured by a flow
sensor. The purpose of the secondary loop is to give a quick
compensation for disturbances in the chip flow.
Order of tuning two controllers of a cascade control system: First the
secondary controller is tuned, with the primary controller in manual
mode. Then the primary controller is tuned, the secondary controller
in automatic mode. So, you start with the inner loop, and then move
outwards.
