PFEA112-20 3bse030369r20Product NameABB PFEA112-20 Tension Electronics Module (Ordering Code: 3BSE030369R20); DIN-Rail Tension Processor with Dual Load Cell Inputs & Profibus-DP for Industrial Web Handling/Converting Lines (ABB Process Automation/Web Handling Systems).Product DescriptionThe PFEA112-20 (3BSE030369R20) is a rugged, compact tension electronics module engineered for industrial web processing (films, paper, metal strips, laminates) to measure and control web tension in closed-loop systems. It features dual load cell inputs (A/B channels) for summation (A+B) or differential (A−B) processing, built-in digital filtering for signal stability, configurable analog outputs (4–20 mA/0–10 V), and Profibus-DP communication for integration with ABB web handling controllers, PLCs, or DCS. Key benefits include industrial-grade durability, IP20 protection (cabinet-mounted), DIN-rail mounting for easy panel integration, and a user-friendly keypad/display for on-site setup/diagnostics. Typical applications include tension control in slitting, coating, printing, and metal processing lines where consistent tension is critical to product quality and process efficiency. Note: This is a tension electronics module (not a load cell or drive); pair it with compatible load cells (e.g., ABB PFTL series) and a master controller/drive to close the control loop. Always verify supply voltage, input/output types, and communication protocol before ordering spares or upgrades.Key Parameters & Specifications (Consolidated, Critical Notes Included)
