Closed-loop tension control via control of the setpoint speed by tension measurement (TensionSpeed)

The TensionSpeed function block contains control and status variables for closed-loop tension control via control of the setpoint speed by tension measurement.

Process status – lead speed = 0, drive at standstill:

  • The xPositive and xNegative signals determine the direction of rotation, so that the drive acts as an unwinder or rewinder (xUnwinder).
  • With the start condition, the drive accelerates automatically to lrSetpointStartLineSpeed using lrAccDecMax (ST_Config_General) in the direction of rotation that leads to winding of material (rewinding function).
  • When the setpoint tension lrSetpointTension is exceeded, the PID controller is switched on and the rewinding function is completed.
  • If "0" is specified with the lrSetpointStartLineSpeed start condition, the PID controller starts up without rewinding function.

Process status – lead speed > 0, drive rotates, setpoint reached:

  • The change of the setpoint tension lrSetpointTension is done with the setpoint ramp lrSetpointRampTension.

  • The PID controller is switched off. A rotating drive is decelerated with lrLineSpeedStopDec (ST_Config_General) to a standstill.
