SteadyWeb ™6 Tension Controller DATA S H E E T SteadyWeb™6 Enclosure Mount (Analog tension display shown) The SteadyWeb™6 is an advanced closed loop digital tension controller with an intuitive touchscreen interface. Its output stability and versatility in managing web tension in the most challenging applications are unmatched. The SteadyWeb™6 maintains a pre-selected tension setpoint by measuring web tension from tension transducers and sends a compensated signal to a tensioning device. The digital closed-loop PID control algorithm allows improved process consistency and productivity. The touchscreen interface is easy to use. Illustrated prompts, color graphics, subordinate information screens and context driven buttons simplify setup, configuration and use. The controller may be used in unwind, rewind or intermediate tension zones. Controller output modes are: FEATURES • 5.0 inch touchscreen display for navigation, selection and adjustment. • Wall-mount full enclosure or open panel-mount. • Power inputs: 100-240VAC 60/50 Hz or 24 VDC. • Isolated 0-10VDC control output. • Storage and Recall for 30 setups. • Auto-detection of transducer excitation (5V or 10V). • Integrated diagnostic tools. • Diameter, Taper, and Acceleration Compensation. • Automatic and Manual control modes. • Machine Stop circuit. • Ratio output up and down. OPTIONS- • 24Vdc or 45Vdc Output (24,45). V version only. • 4-20mA Current Output (420). Isolated. • 230 Volt Power (230). V version only, for V-out module • Diameter Alarm (DA). Produces an output at a predetermined roll diameter. Requires diameter signal. • DIN-Rail Mounting Clip (DRC). Fits 35mm DIN rail. Available only on V version, for V-Out Module. • Serial Data Connector (DB9). 9-pin connector for data transfer when using the RS232 and RS485 options. Enclosure version only. • Metric Pneumatic Fittings (MPF). P Version only. • Serial Communications (RS23, RS48). Modbus RTU available as RS232 or RS485 interfaces. Drive Output (D): 0-10Volt DC compensated output. Used to control AC or DC drives or other variable speed drive systems. This output is isolated from earth ground to make it more compatible with all drives. Pneumatic Output (P): Used to actuate any air-operated brake or clutch. The standard version includes a servo valve and pressure regulator installed in a separate enclosure. High Voltage Output (V): 0 - 24 Volt Output: Embedded within the controller, produces a standard variable voltage up to 24VDC to operate any electric brake or clutch -OR-0 - 90 Volt Output: An outboard cord-connected module, produces a standard variable voltage up to 90VDC to operate any electric brake or clutch. • Sample and hold output. • Operator lock-out. • Soft Start. • Tension meter damping. • Reverse Output for driven unwinds. • Remote Tension Amplifier. Used when tension signal is provided by an external device. • Bipolar 10 Volt Output for bi-directional machines. D version only. • Upload and download setups to PC via USB. • Min./Max Diameter Alarm Output. • Speed Follow (SFD, SFP). Accepts line speed signal from either a DC tach or pulse tach/encoder. • High & Low Tension Limit Switch (TLS). An open collector output actuates at a pre-set adjustable trip point. Used as a web break detector or high tension warning. • Tension on Relay (TOR). Provides a 250V, 5A interface. Not compatible with TLS function - only 1 relay per controller. • Taper Tension (TTD,TTF,TTDP,TTP) Tapers tension as roll size increases. Signal supplied by follower roll, 0-10V diam

Power input: • 24 DC: 24VDC +/-10%, 0.6 amps typical, 2.2 amps internal fusing • AC: 100-240 VAC @ 0.25-0.15A • AC w/24Vout: 100-240 VAC @ 2.05A Control Output (Select Version): Version D: • 0 to +/-10VDC OR 4-20mA (jumper selectable), both isolated from input power and transducer circuitry. — 0 to +/-10VDC max loading is 5mA. This requires a 2000 Ohm or greater input resistance for equipment connected to this output. — 4-20mA max loop resistance is 500 Ohms. Version P: • Input: 125 psi Max. • Output: 2 to 75 psi (0.14 to 5.17 bar). • Servo Valve Drive Signal used: 4-20mA. Version V: • 24V...
