Product Introduction

Fluctuating tension causes web wrinkling, stretching and breakage during winding and unwinding in paper, film, printing and metal foil production. The ABB PFEA111-65 is a dedicated tension signal processing unit matched with ABB PFTL series pillowblock load cells. It supports two pressure sensors simultaneously and calculates tension value via A, B, A+B or A-B modes.

Equipped with multi-stage adjustable digital filters, it effectively suppresses vibration interference on production lines. It outputs standard analog signals to inverters, servo drives or upper PLC systems. PFEA111-65 has no built-in Profibus bus (bus version PFEA112-65). IP65 housing allows direct on-site wall mounting without additional control cabinet, widely used in coating machines, slitting machines and calender production lines.

Installation & Configuration Guide

Stage 1: Pre-Installation Preparation (10 mins)

Stop production line and lock out power. Confirm all tension rollers are unloaded.

Prepare tools: insulated screwdriver, multimeter, camera. Record existing parameter settings and wiring sequence of the old unit. Use shielded twisted cables for load cell wiring.

Stage 2: Old Unit Removal (12 mins)

Disconnect power cable, load cell signal wire and analog output wire one by one and mark labels. Loosen wall mounting bolts and take down the tension electronics. Check cable glands and wiring terminals for corrosion or aging.

Stage 3: New PFEA111-65 Installation (15 mins)

Unpack under anti-static protection, confirm model PFEA111-65. Fix the unit on flat vibration-free wall surface. Ensure enclosure sealing gasket is installed properly to keep IP65 performance.

Recover wiring strictly following labels. Sensor cable shielding single-end grounding. Separate signal cables from high-power cables.

Pre-power-on self-check: Confirm tight wiring, no short circuit, cable glands fully tightened.

Stage 4: Power-On & Calibration (30 mins)

Switch on 24V DC power and check front panel display. Enter parameter menu to select correct working mode (A+B for dual symmetric sensors).

Carry out zero calibration under no web load. Apply known standard tension for span calibration. Set suitable filter time based on line speed.

Test analog output signal; run continuous observation for 30 minutes without abnormal tension drift.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between PFEA111-65 and PFEA111-20?

Main difference is sensor input range: PFEA111-65 supports up to 65mV/V load cells; PFEA111-20 only supports 20mV/V sensors.

2. Can PFEA111-65 communicate via Profibus DP?

No. If field bus communication is required, select model PFEA112-65.

3. Tension reading jumps violently after replacement, how to solve?

First check sensor wiring shielding grounding. Increase filter time constant in parameters. Check mechanical installation whether extra lateral force acts on load cells.

4. Is zero calibration required after each replacement?

Mandatory. Mechanical installation deviation will lead zero offset. Always perform zero tare without web material.

5. Can it connect with non-ABB tension sensors?

Not recommended. Optimized for ABB Pressductor pillowblock sensors; third-party load cells may cause poor measurement linearity.

6. What warranty support can be offered?

12-month warranty. All units pass pre-delivery signal testing, test records available on request.
