Operating Manual CMGZ433 4 System description fig. 1: Basic structure of a drive control system on an winding application C433003e 4.1 Functional description The force sensors measure the tension force in the material and transmit the measuring value as a mV signal to the electronic unit CMGZ433. The electronic unit amplifies the mV signal and calculates the error to the reference value.
Operating Manual CMGZ433 Controller The control unit compares the reference value with the measured feedback value and transmits the error to the controller configurable as PI or PID. The controller calculates the output signal according to the difference. The output signal is provided as an analog signal (0...10V / ±10V / 0...20mA / 4...20mA).
Tension may change when humidity, temperature, winding or unwinding diameters vary or when the sheets are being printed, coated, glued or pressed. Tension is measured constantly and maintained at the correct value with the FMS force measuring and control system.

Operating Manual CMGZ433 9.8 Automatic operation State „Controller disabled“ After power on, the controller is disabled. Its output value is 0V, 0mA or 4mA (depending on setting of parameter Output config.) Enable controller The controller will be enabled by digital input „Controller enabled“ or by serial interface. The controller then begins to tighten the material with the speed given by parameter Start speed until an initial material tension (parameter Start limit) is reached.
Operating Manual CMGZ433 9.9 Setup of external pilot control The external pilot control enables to evaluate the actual reel diameter (diameter signal is read from external source) and to calculate a drive output adapted to the reel diameter (pilot control signal). In addition, the PI resp. PID control parameters are dynamically adapted to the reel diameter continuously.

Operating Manual CMGZ433 Adjustment of pilot control To get the electronic unit calculating the pilot control correct, a certain drive torque has to be assigned to a certain diameter: • Set parameter Pilot control to No • Proceed for a test run. If the control loop runs stable at a diameter as large as possible, the actual reference value and, after pressing the „Mode“...
The internal pilot control is only suitable with a speed controlled drive.Using a torque controlled drive the external pilot control has to be used.
