ABB PFCL201C 10KN Tension Controller

Product overview

The ABB PFCL201C 10KN tension controller is a high-precision tension control device designed specifically for industrial coil processing scenarios. It is mainly used to control the tension stability of coils (such as paper, film, metal strip, etc.) during the production process. Its core function is to ensure that the coil maintains a constant tension during the unwinding, rewinding, printing, coating and other process steps by monitoring and adjusting the tension in real time, avoiding problems such as stretching deformation, wrinkles or breakage.

Model analysis:

PFCL201C: Product series model, representing ABB's tension controller product line;

10KN: The maximum tension control range is 10 kilonewtons (approximately 1000 kilograms of force), suitable for medium to high tension demand scenarios.


Brand background

As a global leader in industrial automation, ABB's tension control products are widely used in industries such as papermaking, packaging, printing, and metal processing. With a century of technological accumulation, ABB tension controllers are renowned for their high precision, reliability, and flexible adaptability. They support seamless integration with ABB transmission systems (such as ACS880 frequency converters), PLCs (such as AC500 series), and SCADA systems, forming a complete automation solution.

Core functions

Tension closed-loop control:

Real time collection of coil tension data through tension sensors, compared with the set value, outputs adjustment signals to the actuator (such as motor driver), forming a closed-loop control loop to ensure constant tension.

Support PID control algorithm, which can automatically optimize proportional, integral, and derivative parameters to meet different material and process requirements.


Multi mode switching:

Manual mode: directly set output values, suitable for equipment debugging or emergency intervention;

Automatic mode: Automatically calculate tension requirements based on parameters such as coil diameter and line speed, and dynamically adjust output;

Roll diameter calculation: Automatically calculate the remaining diameter of the coil through encoder signals or tension feedback to compensate for tension changes.

Fault diagnosis and protection:

Built in overload protection, sensor disconnection detection, over temperature alarm and other functions, supporting fault code display and historical record query, making it easy to quickly locate problems.

Human computer interaction:

Equipped with an LCD display screen or operation panel, it supports real-time display of parameters such as tension value, roll diameter, and operating status, and supports one click saving/restoring of parameters.


Working principle

Tension detection:

Tension sensors (such as rollers or cantilever beams installed in the coil path) convert mechanical tension into electrical signals (such as 4-20mA) and transmit them to the analog input module of PFCL201C.

Signal processing:

The controller filters, amplifies, and analog-to-digital converts the input signal, compares it with the preset tension value, and calculates the required adjustment amount through PID algorithm.

Perform adjustment:

The controller outputs analog signals (such as 4-20mA) to the frequency converter or servo driver to adjust the motor torque or speed, thereby changing the tension of the coil. For example:

When unwinding, if the tension is insufficient, increase the motor torque;

When winding, if the tension is too high, the motor speed will be reduced.


Key advantages

High precision control:

± 0.5% measurement accuracy and fast response capability (response time ≤ 50ms), suitable for high-end materials sensitive to tension (such as lithium battery separators, optical films).

Flexible compatibility:

Supports multiple sensor types and communication protocols, seamlessly integrates with ABB and third-party devices;

Adapt to different roll widths (such as 100-3000mm) and materials (such as plastic, metal, fiber).

Energy saving and efficient:

When used in conjunction with ABB frequency converters, it can achieve a "torque control mode" to avoid energy loss in traditional mechanical braking and improve system energy efficiency.

Easy to integrate:

Guide rail installation design and standardized communication interface, supporting plug and play, shortening project debugging cycle.

precautions


Installation requirements:

The tension sensor needs to be installed at the tension detection point of the coil (such as near the floating roller) to ensure that the direction of force is consistent with the axis of the sensor;

The signal cable between the controller and the sensor needs to be shielded and kept away from the power cable to reduce electromagnetic interference.

Parameter settings:

The zero and full-scale values of the sensor need to be calibrated for the first use;

According to the material and process requirements of the coil, set the PID parameters reasonably (such as increasing the integration time for high inertia coils).

Maintenance and upkeep:

Regularly clean the heat dissipation holes of the controller to avoid dust accumulation affecting heat dissipation;

Check the sensor installation firmware and cable connections every 12 months to ensure signal stability.

Similar model supplement

PFCL101C 5KN: Maximum tension of 5kN, smaller volume, lower cost

PFCL301C 20KN: Maximum tension 20kN, supports redundant design and high-speed communication (such as EtherCAT)

PFCL201D: Supports DC power supply (10-30V DC) and explosion-proof design


Application scenarios

Paper making and printing:

Control the tension of paper in the paper copying machine and printing machine to avoid paper breakage or overprinting deviation, and improve the yield of finished products.

Packaging industry:

The tension control of plastic film and aluminum foil in bag making machines and slitting machines ensures that the bag shape is neat and the sealing quality is stable.

Metal processing:

Constant tension control of steel and copper strips in rolling, longitudinal cutting, and coating production lines to reduce material tensile deformation.

In the field of new energy:

The tension control of processes such as coating of lithium battery electrodes and slitting of separators ensures the uniformity of material thickness and battery consistency.

Textiles and non-woven fabrics:

Tension control of yarns and non-woven fabrics in textile machinery to avoid wrinkling or breakage of fabrics and improve fabric quality.
