  • Page 4: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Nexen RSTC Tension Controllers are used to control web tension, relying on load cell based tension sensors to measure web tension. As a part of a tension control system, the RSTC measures the web’s tension and corrects tension errors by sending a signal to change the torque output of brakes, clutches, and motor drive systems.
  • Page 5: Wiring Installation Guidelines

    WIRING INSTALLATION GUIDELINES This product is designed to minimize the effects of ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) on its operation, but as with any electronic device, proper installation and wiring methods are necessary to ensure proper operation. By doing so, the interference from external effects such as electrical line spikes, electrical noise, static electricity, etc. will be minimized.

    INSTALLATION Mount the RSTC within a user-supplied enclosure, typically CAUTION the machine’s controls cabinet. The RSTC can be mounted Mount the RSTC in a shock and vibration free on 35 mm DIN rail or panel mounted (Refer to Figure 3). area with an ambient temperature of less than 140°F [60 C] and more than 32°F [0 C].

    SIGNAL CALIBRATION SIGNAL CALIBRATION WINDOW Select the SIGNAL CALIBRATION icon from the toolbar. (See Figure 17). TENSION SIGNAL CALIBRATION Set the Maximum Tension Setpoint before calibrating tension sensors. Afterwards, re-calibration of tension sensors is required whenever the Maximum Tension Setpoint is changed. Minimum Tension Setpoint: Enter minimum tension level that will be run on the machine in the designated imperial or metric units.

    DIAMETER SIGNAL CALIBRATION 1. Press DIAMETER (See Figure 20). 2. Press Yes if a diameter signal is present and continue with calibration. Press No if there is not a diameter signal, therefore the calibration procedure will not continue. 3. Enter the core diameter and large roll diameter that will be used for calibration.
