Thesimulationsandtheexperimentsarecarriedoutunderthefollowingconditions:

Theminimumdistancebetweenproductsmustbeexaminedcorrectlybythegeometricalconditions.Incaseofathree-stageconveyorbeltscale,lettheminimumtravellingdistancewhichisnecessaryforreachingthesteadystatevalueofanoutputsignalbeSandtheminimumdistancewhichisshorter,di-1ordi,bedS.Thehypotheticaltimechangesof

3.DesignofFIRfilters
Thedesignofdigitalfiltersiswellestablishedandextensivelycoveredintheliterature.Therearetypicallytwokindsofdigitalfilters,i.e.infinite-durationimpulseresponse(IIR)typeandfinite-durationimpulseresponse(FIR)one.Aftertheproductpassesthroughtheconveyorbeltandtheloadinginputchangestozero,thetransientresponseinthefiltershouldbereturnedtotheinitialstatesofast[10—12].Forthisreason,FIRfiltercanbeconsideredtobeadequateforconveyorbeltscales.
Now,weexplaintheprocedurefordesigningtheFIRfilter.WritingthenormalizedfrequencyasΩ=fT,wherefisthefrequency(Hz),andTisthesamplingperiod(s),thedesiredtransferfunctioncanbeexpressedby
ThefilterHd(ejΩ)canbeeasilyobtainedbythewell-knownRemezalgorithm.Whentheloweredgefrequency(Ωs)ofthestopbandwidthischosenaslessthan0.05forthedesignofaFIRfilter,itbecomesgenerallyimpossibletodesignsincethenoiseattenuationeffectdecreasesrapidly,andthesamplingperiodTshouldbeadjustedthroughthedown-sampling.Thedatatobesmoothedareextractedateverydown-samplingperiodT(=nTm,inwhichnisaproperinteger)fromthemeasureddataateverysamplingperiodTm=0.5ms.Inourcase,ncanbechosenasn=4,6and8(correspondingtoT=2,3and4ms).
