Key Features and Advantages
The core competitiveness of the PFEA113-65 lies in its high-precision measurement and fast-response control. It uses 16-bit ADC acquisition and advanced digital filtering algorithms, achieving a measurement accuracy of ±0.1% full scale and a response time of less than 10 milliseconds, keeping pace with high-speed production lines.
The module comes with a 2×16 multilingual display that shows real-time values of channels A, B, their sum and difference. Operators can monitor tension status and adjust key parameters directly without relying on a host computer. It features intelligent modes including constant tension, speed-synchronized tension and taper control, enabling automatic dynamic compensation during press acceleration or film roll changes, reducing material waste by more than 15% in practical applications.
Multi-protocol compatibility and strong expandability allow it to adapt easily to various complex systems. Full support for Profibus‑DP, Modbus TCP and other mainstream protocols minimizes cross-brand integration barriers and greatly reduces integration difficulty and cost. The module supports cascade connection of three units, accommodating up to 12 tension sensors, fully meeting the requirements of multi-point and multi-zone synchronous control on large production lines.
Reliability in harsh environments is another outstanding advantage. The IP65 fully sealed structure is designed for dusty, humid and sprayed industrial sites. The built-in self-diagnosis system monitors signal abnormalities, overloads, communication interruptions and other faults in real time, with alarms via 4 programmable digital outputs. All diagnostic data is uploaded to the bus for true predictive maintenance, effectively cutting unplanned downtime. The dual wall/DIN rail mounting method also allows flexible installation in space-limited cabinets or on-site locations.
Application Areas
The PFEA113-65 is widely and maturely applied in the printing and packaging industry, especially for high-speed gravure presses, flexographic presses and laminators.
On high-speed printing lines, it monitors film and paper tension in real time and dynamically adjusts unwinding and rewinding tension via closed-loop control, limiting register deviation to within ±0.1mm. After adoption by a large packaging enterprise, film tension fluctuation was stabilized within ±0.5%, production efficiency increased by more than 12%, and material waste was significantly reduced.
The textile dyeing and finishing industry is another major application. In yarn unwinding, weaving and dyeing processes, it precisely controls yarn tension and avoids breakage and increased hairiness. Used by a high-end textile company, yarn tension fluctuation was controlled within ±1%, greatly improving fabric first-pass yield and product consistency. On non-woven fabric lines, the module connects multiple sensors and communicates with PLC via Profibus‑DP for multi-station synchronous coordinated control.
It is also widely used in cable manufacturing and metal processing, ensuring uniform structure and qualified electrical performance in copper wire winding, cable stranding and metal strip rolling, effectively solving industry problems such as wire embedding and loose winding. In new material processing such as lithium battery electrode slitting and special film stretching, its high-precision control helps enterprises achieve breakthroughs in both quality and efficiency.
