III. Core Functions
High‑precision Tension Measurement
Adopts magnetostrictive sensing technology with strong anti‑interference capability and stable, reliable measurement.Supports real‑time display and switching of multiple tension units (N, kg, lbs, etc.).
Intelligent Closed‑loop Control
Built‑in advanced control algorithms, supporting multiple modes such as constant tension control, speed‑dependent tension control, taper control, etc.Dynamically compensates for tension fluctuations, especially suitable for high‑speed, variable‑diameter winding / unwinding applications.
Flexible Expansion & Integration
Up to 4 sensors per unit; multi‑unit cascading expands to 12 sensors, adapting to complex multi‑section tension control.Seamless integration into PLC / DCS systems (e.g. AC 800M, 800xA) via PROFIBUS‑DP / Modbus TCP for remote monitoring and parameter adjustment.
Diagnosis & Maintenance
Comprehensive self‑diagnosis function for real‑time monitoring of sensors, communication, power supply, etc.Fault code display and logging, supporting predictive maintenance and reducing downtime.Front‑panel keypad operation; calibration and parameter setting can be completed without a PC.
