E+L Database Details

Control structure for unwinder with motorized drive

Two load sensors measure the web tension actual value of the running web. This is compared to the web tension target value and transferred as system deviation to the PID controller. The PID controller forms the speed correction signal

± delta v which is then added to the web speed signal v-web target. The v-web target corresponds to the v-web target of the main drive.

For unwinders the superimposed speed target value is divided by the actual batch diameter. The result is a superimposed speed target value for the speed-controlled unwinder.

Control structure for transport drive with variable positioning gear

Two load sensors measure the web tension actual value of the running web. This is compared to the web tension target value and transferred as system deviation to the three-position controller. Besides the analog speed target value two binary outputs for right and left run are available as positioning signals .The two binary outputs are used for contactor controls.
