READ THIS! *** SAFETY INFORMATION *** Please read this manual prior to installing and operating the controller. Take care to follow local codes and only allow properly trained individuals to operate or service the equipment. Failure to follow the manual's instructions and practice safe working habits could result in property damage, personal injury and/or death WARNING: Before servicing the SteadyWeb 6, power should be removed from the device.
USER INTERFACE OVERVIEW ™ Figure 1 – STEADYWEB 6 USER INTERFACE 1.1 MAIN INTERFACE DESCRIPTION The Steady Web 6 accepts all instructions and displays all information via a 5" touchscreen display (Fig. 1). All controller functions are context driven, and operate with color-coded buttons on the display. There are no mechanical knobs, switches or buttons to operate.
Sometimes meeting the necessary conditions requires permission-based access and actions in accordance with the Technical Reference Manual (DFE P/N 801-2540). On navigation screens, pressing the Back button will return the prior screen. If the Back button has been replaced with another function, the use of which is not desired, the screen may be exited via the Display button instead.
Section 2.6, TLS ALARMS AND RESETTING THEM. This trend-line graph display also appears repeatedly in the Technical Reference Manual (DFE P/N 801-2540) on PID Tune View displays which allow for real-time P, I, and D adjustments while viewing the controller output and tension.
(See Section 2.3.2 for more detail). 2. DIAGNOSTIC MENU - Under the Diagnostic Menu, the following choices are available (All are Read Only, and are useful for discussions with DFE Tech Support), with all other choices greyed out: •...
This also applies to the PID tune screen referenced repeatedly in the Technical Reference Manual (DFE P/N 801-2540). • Line Speed Display - Choose Auto, On or Off and press SAVE. When in Auto, if line speed is required for control, it will be displayed by default.
2.3 SAVING, RECALLING AND DELETING SETUPS continued... A Saved Setup is a group of settings saved together in a named setup, and is also preserved in non- volatile memory. Only by saving a named setup after changing one or more settings in that named setup (overwriting), or by deleting the named setup, can saved settings be lost.
2.4 AUTO TENSION SETPOINT AND MANUAL OUTPUT SETTING Pressing or tapping the tension display area on either the Analog Meter or Trend-line Graph display will bring up “+” and “-“ buttons (Fig. 13), which are used to adjust the auto tension setpoint by pressing or holding them down.
2.5 TAPER TENSION continued.. Figure 16 - TAPER SETPOINT ON METER Figure 17 - TAPER DISPLAY ON TRENDLINE Finding the right taper percentage for a particular process may take some experimentation in adjusting both the auto tension setpoint and the taper percentage. See the table below for common winding defects and corresponding corrective actions: Location Tight/Loose...
2.6 TLS, ALARMS AND RESETTING THEM continued... Figure 19 - TLS SETPOINT SHOWN Figure 20 - RESET TLS SCREEN 2.7 RESETTING DIAMETER ALARM The diameter alarm alerts the operator that the roll has reached a size requiring attention. A flashing red message to “RESET DA” appears on screen when the diameter alarm is triggered (Fig 21), either by the roll exceeding the Maximum Diameter Trip Point or dropping below the Minimum Diameter Trip Point for longer than the Diameter Alarm Delay setting.
