Operating Manual CMGZ100 1 Safety instructions Caution Proper function of the Tension Controller is only guaranteed with the recommended application of the components. In case of other arrangement, heavy malfunction can be the result. Therefore, the installation instructions on the following pages must be followed strictly.
C100003e 2.2 Function The CMGZ100 combines a strain gauge amplifier with a PID controller and is suitable for controlling the material tension in machinges for finishing paper, plastic foils, aluminium foils, metal sheets, wires and most other continuously processed materials.
2.5 Controller release The CMGZ100 Tension Controller can be released over a digital input (12-30V AC or DC). As long as there is no signal the Tension Controller is locked and the output is zero. When the voltage is applied the Tension Controller starts operating and the output signal goes from zero to the required value that is needed for the desired tension.
Operating Manual CMGZ100 3 Wiring diagram C100004e The force sensors are connected using 2x2x0.75mm [AWG 18] shielded twisted pair cable. (With cable length below 15m, 2x2x0.25mm [AWG 23] is also suitable.) The shield must be connected only to the Tension Controller side to aviod earth loops.
Operating Manual CMGZ100 5 Operating the strain gauge amplifier 5.1 Calibrating the strain gauge amplifier • Connect first sensor. • Test if feedback signal (z18) is positive when sensor is loaded. If signal is negative, change z4 and z6. • Connect second sensor •...
• If a scope is used the following sketch might be helpful Notice: If the CMGZ100 has to control a winder or unwinder with varying bobbin diameters, the diameter of the bobbin goes into the calculation of the controller coefficients. If the bobbin is full, the stability of the loop is most critical as this is equal to a high control gain.
