1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SteadyWeb
material at a value selected by the equipment operator. The controller combines ease of use with powerful
control features and capability that allow for effortless configuration and utilization over a wide variety of tension
control applications.
The SteadyWeb
panel mount and enclosure mount configurations. The controller is offered in multiple output versions. The user
interface features a context-sensitive 5" touch screen display. Illustrated prompts and color graphics make set up
easy and allow for a short operator learning curve.
Basic functions of the controller are divided into three components: amplifier, tension regulator and output
converter.
1. Amplifier
The first component is a tension amplifier, which supports all Dover Flexo Electronics tension transducers (the
transducers measure the actual web tension). It includes a regulated power supply to excite the transducers
and circuitry to amplify and measure the transducer output signal. Intelligent excitation circuitry provides
automatic excitation voltage selection and monitors for transducer wiring errors or fault conditions, such as a
short circuit or open circuit conditions.
