;=================================================================================== ;--- Example of a SysCAD General Controller --- ; This example does a number of calculations: ; 1. It adds or removes ore to the stream from the mine going to a milling and flotation plant. ; 2. It calculates the water usage in the plant. ; 3. It calculates the recoveries of copper, iron and sulphur across the plant. ;=================================================================================== ;---- Define Variables ------------------------ PageLabel "Feed & Recovery" TextLabel ,"Plant Feed" real ReqdPlantFeed*("Qm", "t/h") real OreFromMine@("Qm", "t/h") real OreFromStockPile@("Qm", "t/h") TextLabel ,"Water Usage" real WaterUsage@("Qv", "m^3/h") TextLabel ,"Recoveries" real CopperRecovery@("Frac", "%") real IronRecovery@("Frac", "%") real SulphurRecovery@("Frac", "%") ;----- Local variables (not displayed in access window) real water1, water2, water3, water4 real CuIn, CuInConc real Fein, FeInConc real SulphurIn, SulphurInConc OreFromMine = ["P_001.Qo.SQm (t/h)"] ; Check if the required plant feed is greater than the ore from the mine. if (ReqdPlantFeed >= OreFromMine) ; If less than required, import balance of ore from the stockpile.
