WINDERS & UNWINDERS

smarty

automation controllers use the

drive.web

distributed control technology to bring easy, cost-effective intelligence to high performance drive systems.

smarty apps

are pre-configured generic packages for common applications:

  • smarty

    OPTION-1101, Open Loop Constant Tension Center Winder

  • smarty

    OPTION-1102, Closed Loop Dancer Controlled Center Winder

  • smarty

    OPTION-1103, Closed Loop Load Cell Controlled Center Winder

  • smarty

    OPTION-1104, Closed Loop Slip Core Winder
Printing Press, Precision Tension Winder

These generic configurations can be edited by the intuitive

drive.web savvy

graphical tools to suit the particular application. The clear signal flow diagrams are stored in the controllers for reliable access in the field.

  • Fully editable configurations and drawings
  • Drive Interface either serial port or analog
  • Process control & winder function block libraries
  • Web break sensing
  • Diameter calculation, memory, preset and hold
  • Linear or hyperbolic taper tension
  • Friction, inertia & torque compensation
  • Multiple core presets
  • Integral reset
  • Adaptive control for high speed systems
  • Standstill tension mode
  • Jog/run/slack take up modes
  • Turret indexing mode
  • Anti-reverse clamps
  • Core speed matching

smarty OPTION-1101

Open Loop Center Winder

option-1101

Special features include:

  • Static and dynamic friction compensation
  • Inertia compensation
  • Diameter calculation
  • Torque compensation
  • Torque demand range limits

drive.web apps

are very easy to interface to most line and winder drives, operator stations and PLCs over Ethernet, RS485 serial communications or via analog and logic wired connections.

OPTION-1106 PROCESS LINE COORDINATION

Standard function blocks used in combinations of

smarty's

and

speedy's

can be easily configured to provide line drive coordination in systems of any size or complexity.

  • Functions such as linear, S and hyperbolic ramps are used to provide master references.
  • Programmable logic and switch functions are used to provide line run, line jog, local jog, interlocks, etc.
  • PIDs, profilers, registration, indexing, phase lock and arithmetic blocks provide precise section control.

OPTION-1109 REGISTRATION
& ELECTRONIC LINE SHAFT

The Registration & Electronic Line Shaft package is designed for applications such as print registration, synchronized component handling, position control, cut-to-length, etc., where precision drive coordination and spindle orientation are required.

Precision Film Line with Electronic Line Shaft

Precision Film Line with Electronic Line Shaft

Standard graphical function blocks for registration and speed locking
make these complex processes quick and easy to configure and use.

 

The encoder retransmit option provides buffered encoder signals for
secure use in multiple locations.

OPTION-1118 SUN POSITION CALCULATOR

The Solar Function Block Library provides precise calculation of the sun zenith and azimuth angles in solar energy systems. It can be synchronized with the SNTP server time and date and include a ∂T input parameter to compensate for the difference between UTC and Terrestrial Time for precise positioning of solar concentrators.

Key Features:
  • Set up for any latitude, longitude and altitude
  • Fast calculation for use in mobile systems
  • SNTP synchronization support
  • Terrestrial Time correction input
