Page 6: General Description
Legacy push button calibration is supported to allow fast commissioning. With this method machine builders will find the TA500-EIP very familiar to existing DFE tension amplifiers. Once calibrated, the amplifier will pro- vide a simultaneous tension signal out in the format of 0-10V and 4-20mA. Optionally an EtherNet/IP™ con- nection can be established and the tension data will be available through the EtherNet/IP™... -

1.5 STATUS LED Amplifier Status Information is useful for determining the condition of the tension amplifier and its network and module operational state. Three bi-colored LEDs located on the front of the TA500-EIP provided this infor- mation. Amplifier Status LED The Amplifier Status LED is a bi-color red/green LED. - Page 9 Module Status (MS) LED The Module Status LED is a bi-color red/green LED. The state of the LED depends on the state of the network adapter module. MS LED STATE DEFINITION Power off. Steady Green Device in operation. Flashing Green Standby device, not configured, no IP ad- dress assigned.

DLR provides a means to detect, manage, and recover from single faults in a ring-based network. In De- vice Level Ring applications, the TA500-EIP unit functions as a Beacon-Based Ring Node. In these appli- cations, both ports are used when wiring the ring, daisy chaining from one unit in the ring to the next. -

The weight determines the value of web tension that will be produced at full output of the TA500-EIP. The TA500-EIP allows calibration to be performed with 10% or 25% of the full range desired. -

Checking Active Connections. Confirm that the TA500-EIP has a valid link to your network and an assigned or specified IP. The default IP address programmed at the factory is 192.168.1.230. If you are unsure what the IP address is see the section Finding the IP address. - Page 15 3. Find the “CalUnits” parameter and select the desired unit for calibration and press “Set”. 4. Find the “CalRange” parameter and select the desired range for calibration and press “Set”. Zero: 1. Ensure the transducer load cells are installed in the intended configuration and that nothing, including any rope used to hang calibrations weights, is loading the load cells.
- Page 16 Calibrate: During the calibration, the transducer(s) should be loaded. Fasten one end of the rope in the machine and thread the other end around the transducer roll in the same path the web will take. Be sure the rope does not pass around any driven rolls, drag bars, or anything else that can affect tension.

While the calibration weight is still hanging, the tension percent reading shall correspond to the calibration per- centage. In the example above, the TensionPercent parameter is read as 25.0 as the register holds the tension value with 1 decimal place format. The CalTension parameter holds the calibrated tension value with 2 decimal places format. -

Page 23: Tension Data And Status
5.4 TENSION DATA AND STATUS After the module is added input Tags carry the calibrated tension value if the unit is calibrated and other status information of the device. If calibration of the unit is required see the section Calibration. All tag data is Signed 32–bit integer value. - Page 24 ADC_VALUE – Raw value of input signal from load cells. Useful for troubleshooting or by advanced users. TENSION_P - Tension value in percent of total calibrated range. Format: 1 decimal. If the calibration was performed using the zero and calibration button on the TA500 then the calibration performed can be considered unitless and range-less unless the value in the CalRange Reg- ister and the CalUnits register at calibration was valid.
- Page 25 CAL_RANGE – The calibration range can be stored with the calibration. This data in this tag must be valid when sending the calibration command for the unit to be stored. Value Definition 1000 1250 1500 2000 2500 3000 4000 5000 COMMAND –...
