ABB PFEA112-65 Tension Electronics

Description

The ABB PFEA112-65 Tension Electronics (order code: 3BSE030369R65) is a high-precision, high-reliability tension control and measurement device designed for continuous material processing. It is engineered to regulate and measure tension in materials including paper, film, metal foil, and textiles, supporting applications in papermaking, film production, metal processing, printing, coating, rewinding, and cutting lines. Key technical specifications include a 0 to 65kN measurement range, ±0.1% FS accuracy, 0.01kN resolution, and control accuracy of ±0.5% FS, with a fast response time of less than 10ms. It uses PID control logic to deliver closed-loop tension regulation, detecting material tension via sensors, calculating control outputs, and sending signals to actuators to maintain consistent tension, reducing material breakage, wrinkles, and scrap rates while improving production efficiency. The unit accepts analog inputs of ±10V / 0(4)~20mA and digital encoder signals (A/B/Z phase), and provides analog outputs of ±10V / 0(4)~20mA plus relay contacts rated at 5A @ 230V AC. Optional communication interfaces include RS-485, PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT. It operates on 24V DC (±10%) or 110/230V AC, has an IP20 protection rating (for cabinet installation), and functions in temperatures from 0 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius. The device features a 2×16 character display showing individual, summed, or differential tension signals, and supports DIN rail mounting for easy integration into control cabinets.
