Tension Electronics

PFEA 111, 112, 122 and 113

Overview

Covering a wide range of applications the Tension Electronics comes in four versions, with different levels of performance and functionality. All four versions have multi-language digital display and configuration keys. The configuration keys being used for setting different parameters and to check the status of the tension system.

 

The 2 x 16 character display can present sum, difference or individual load cell signals.

 


All four versions are available in both DIN-rail.

Features and benefits

Interactive menu

<p>The tension electronics has a unique interactive menu which guides the commissioning step by step, eliminating the potential for making mistakes and significantly reducing startup time.</p>

Built-in self diagnostics

<p>The electronics continuously supervise a number of important parameters and provides error messages if something goes wrong.</p>

Multi-language display

<p>The multi-language display is a great feature that helps to eliminate mistakes, during start-up and/or operation of the tension system.</p>

Load memory

<p>The resettable load memory stores max. load values. A useful tool for maintenance.</p>

Analog outputs

<p>The PFEA provide a scaled and zeroed tension output ready for use in control or monitoring. Individual scaling and filtering can be done for each of the analog outputs.</p>

PROFIBUS-DP, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP

<p>PFEA112 and PFEA113 have Fieldbus communication via PROFIBUS DP as standard. PFEA122 comes with PROFINET RT and EtherNet/IP communication.</p>
