Abstract
A controller configured to be operatively coupled to a reductant insertion assembly comprising a first pump for inserting a reductant into a selective catalytic reduction system, is programmed to set an insertion interval timer for the first insertion interval in response to receiving a first insertion command. The controller starts the insertion interval timer, records an elapsed time period from the start of the insertion interval timer, and activates the first pump when the timer starts. The controller receives a second insertion command comprising information for activating the first pump for a second duty cycle for second insertion intervals different than the first insertion interval. If the second insertion interval is smaller than the recorded elapsed time period, the insertion interval timer is set for the second insertion interval, the insertion interval timer is started, and if not already activated, the first pump is activated for the second duty cycle.
