Process instrumentation for measuring and controlling processing of flowable materials, namely, material flow aerators being parts of machines Process instrumentation for measuring and controlling processing of flowable materials, namely, electric sensors for sensing material levels and electronic controllers for material flow
A system including a smart junction box (SJB) device having an adjusted weight measurement calculator (AWMC) module. The AWMC module configured to calculate an adjusted weight measurement representative of a weight of the stored material in bin based on the sensed weight measurement from those weight measurement sensors in a non-failure state and an ambient environmental condition compensation factor (AECCF), during the weight measurement cycle. The SJB device includes a thermometer to measure a local ambient temperature for use in determining the AECCF. The SJB device is configured to calculate the adjusted weight measurement based on the signals from the remaining sensors in a non-failure state while ghosting the failed sensor.
