五、恒张力控制原理 V. Constant tension control principle
该自动恒张力控制器的工作原理为两只张力检测器测量到实际目标张力(即测量张力),与人为设定所需的工作张力(即设定张力) 相比较, 如果两个比较的张力相等时, 张力控制器不调节输出比例, 而两个比较的张力不等时, 张力控制器将判断测量张力大于或小于设定张力而相应的减小或增大输出比例 , 从而使测量张力与设定张力保持动态平衡来实现恒张力。 The working principle of the automatic constant tension controller is that the two tension detectors measure the actual target tension (i.e. measured tension) and compare it with the working tension (i.e. set tension) set by human beings, if the two comparative tensions are equal, the tension controller does not regulate the output ratio, and if the two comparative tensions are unequal, the tension controller will judge that the measured tension is greater or less than the set tension and reduce or increase the output ratio accordingly. When the two comparative tensions are equal, the tension controller does not adjust the output ratio, but when the two comparative tensions are not equal, the tension controller will judge whether the measured tension is greater or less than the set tension and reduce or increase the output ratio accordingly to realize constant tension.
提示: 莱单号 212 调整方式若选择正向时, 测量张力大于设定张力时张力控制器会使输出比例变小, 测量张力小于设定张力时输出比例变大。 Hint: When the adjustment method of Lexan No. 212 is selected as positive, the tension controller will make the output ratio smaller when the measured tension is larger than the set tension, and larger when the measured tension is smaller than the set tension.

双工位控制配线图 Duplex Control Wiring Diagram
主机同时控制多台张力控制器 Simultaneous control of multiple tension controllers by the host computer
多台张力控制器同步控制 Synchronized control of multiple tension controllers
七、霍尔开关的作用 VII. The Role of Hall Switches
自动张力控制器在自动工作模式时维持恒张力是依靠测量张力与设定张力相比较后根据张力相差而相应的调整输出比例,如果被检测的材料处于停止状态时张力控制器就检测不到实际运行中的测量张力而且此时测量到的张力会比实际运行中的张 Automatic tension controller in the automatic mode of operation to maintain constant tension is dependent on the measured tension and the set tension compared to the tension according to the difference between the tension and adjust the output ratio accordingly, if the detected material is in a state of cessation of the tension controller can not detect the actual operation of the measurement of tension and the measured tension will be more than the actual operation of the tension.
力要小,如果此时张力控制器认为测量张力小于设定张力而增大输出比例就会造成下次运行时张力过大, 所以该自动张力控制器在自动模式下如果 1 秒钟时间内没有接收到霍尔开关的脉冲信号就会暂停输出比例的调整, 同时自动模式指示灯闪烁提示控制器处于暂停状态。 If the tension controller thinks that the measured tension is smaller than the set tension and increases the output ratio, it will cause the tension to be too large in the next operation, so the automatic tension controller will pause the adjustment of the output ratio if it does not receive the pulse signal from the Hall switch within 1 second in the automatic mode, and at the same time, the indicator light of the automatic mode blinks to indicate that the controller is in the state of pause.

本控制器不仅具有一路 0-2A0-2 \mathrm{~A} 恒流源输出驱动磁粉离合制动器, 并且还有一路 0-5V0-5 \mathrm{~V} 模拟信号输出用来驱动伺服电机或力矩电机, 同时也可用于指示张力控制器输出比例。 The controller not only has one 0-2A0-2 \mathrm{~A} constant current output to drive the magnetic particle clutch brake, but also has one 0-5V0-5 \mathrm{~V} analog output to drive a servo motor or a torque motor, which can also be used to indicate the ratio of the tension controller output.
九、双工位转换开关 IX. Dual-position changeover switches
本控制器具有双工位收放卷控制功能, 用户可根据机器特性设置换轴输出 (参考设置部分)。设置此比例值目的是为了使两传动轴间相互转换时控制器重新赋给工作轴的输出比例值,使工作轴的张力尽可能接近设定的张力, 从而使张力控制器减小换轴引起的张力跳变过程。 This controller has the function of dual-position winding and unwinding control, and the user can set the output of changing shafts according to the characteristics of the machine (refer to the setting section). The purpose of setting this proportional value is to make the controller re-assign the proportional value to the output of the working shaft when the two drive shafts change to each other, so that the tension of the working shaft is as close as possible to the set tension, so that the tension controller can minimize the process of tension change caused by the change of shafts.
提示:菜单号大于102 需要密码方能设定数据。 Tip: Menu numbers greater than 102 require a password to set data.
以下编号为菜单号 The following numbers are menu numbers

102 换轴输出:设定换轴输出值的大小将决定张力控制器换轴后输出比例的大小。当 用户使用双工位收放卷进行换轴时 ,由于换轴时卷筒材料的大小发生突变会使张力也跟着产生突变,所以设置换轴输出使换轴时改变张力控制器的输出比例来减小张力的突变。 102 Shaft Change Output: Setting the value of Shaft Change Output will determine the size of the output ratio of the tension controller after a shaft change. When the user uses the duplex winding/unwinding to change the shaft, the sudden change in the size of the web material during the change will cause the tension to change, so set the shaft change output to change the output ratio of the tension controller during the change in order to minimize the sudden change in the tension.
200 恢复出厂值:指张力控制器的内部参数恢复到出厂时的默认值。 200 Restore Factory Values: means that the internal parameters of the tension controller are restored to the factory default values.

203 满量程张力:指张力控制器的最大设定张力,合理设定满量程张力可使张力控制器的张力数据显示更直观测量张力的精度更高, 建议满量程张力应该设定在实际使用最大张力的 1.2-1.51.2-1.5 倍之间。 203 Full-scale tension: refers to the maximum set tension of the tension controller, a reasonable setting of the full-scale tension can make the tension controller tension data display more intuitive measurement of tension accuracy, it is recommended that the full-scale tension should be set in the actual use of the maximum tension of the 1.2-1.51.2-1.5 times between.
204 去除皮重: 去除皮重功能可以去除安装在张力检测器上的导棍、轴承座等重量, 从而使张力控制器仅测量到实际的目标张力 (见下图) 204 Tare Removal: The Tare Removal function removes the weight of guide rods, bearing blocks, etc. mounted on the tension detector so that the tension controller only measures the actual target tension (see figure below).

提示: 异常结束表示张力检测器安装不正确或已损坏, 用户可参考菜单号 100 判断张力检测器的输出电压。 TIP: Abnormal end indicates that the tension detector has been installed incorrectly or is damaged, the user can refer to menu number 100 to determine the output voltage of the tension detector.
205 标定张力:标定张力的作用为校准张力控制器上所显示的测量张力与张力检测器上实际的张力值相等, 标定的方法参考下图。 205 Calibration Tension: The purpose of the calibration tension is to calibrate the measured tension displayed on the tension controller to be equal to the actual tension value on the tension detector, refer to the figure below for the calibration method.

提示:执行标定张力时,首先需要在张力检测器未加砝码前执行一次去除皮重。 TIP: When performing a calibration tension, you first need to perform a tare removal before the tension detector is weighted.
方法:根据吊下的实际砝码重量输入到张 力控制器后按执行键完成张力的标定(见下图)。 Method: Enter the actual weight of the weight under the crane into the tension controller and press the Execute button to complete the calibration of the tension (see figure below).

208 比例增益:指张力控制器按设定张力与测量张力偏差比例进行输出校正。减小比例增益可快速使测量张力达到设定张力,但容易出现张力大小摆动。 208 Proportional Gain: This means that the tension controller corrects the output in proportion to the deviation of the set tension from the measured tension. Reducing the proportional gain can quickly bring the measured tension to the set tension, but is susceptible to tension oscillation.
209 积分时间:指张力控制器按设定张力与测量张力偏差时进行输出校正的响应速度。减小积分时间可提高响应性,但容易出现张力大小摆动。 209 Integration time: The speed of response of the tension controller to correct the output when the set tension deviates from the measured tension. Reducing the integration time improves responsiveness, but is prone to oscillations in tension.
210 收卷锥度控制:可以选择张力控制器使用或不使用锥度张力控制。锥度控制主要用于收卷控制,其目的是随着卷径的增加以减少运转张力,防止材料卷绕时卷的过紧及卷绕歪斜等。 210 Rewind Taper Control: The tension controller can be selected to use or not to use taper tension control. Taper control is primarily used for take-up control and is designed to reduce running tension as the roll diameter increases, preventing over-tightening and skewing of the roll as the material is wound.
211 锥度比例:此参数仅在使用收卷锥度控制的条件下有效。张力控制器的输出比例变化量等于锥度比例时, 张力控制器的设定张力将自动递减。 211 Taper Ratio: This parameter is only valid if winding taper control is used. The set tension of the tension controller is automatically reduced when the proportional change in the output of the tension controller is equal to the taper ratio.
212 调整方式: 该张力控制器可以选择正向或反向调整张力,正向调整指张力控制器自动模式下调整张力时测量张力大于设定张力时输出比例变小, 而反向调整时输出比例变大。 212 Adjustment mode: The tension controller can choose to adjust the tension in either forward or reverse direction. Forward adjustment means that when the measured tension is greater than the set tension when the tension controller adjusts the tension in automatic mode, the output ratio becomes smaller, while the output ratio becomes larger when the tension controller adjusts the tension in reverse direction.
