1. Product Overview
The ABB PFEA111-65 (order code: 3BSE028140R0065) is a dual-channel tension measurement and control unit designed for industrial web, wire, cable, and metal processing applications. It integrates high-precision signal conditioning, real-time tension calculation (A, B, A+B, A-B modes), and analog output (0-10V/4-20mA) for closed-loop control of motors, brakes, or clutches. The unit supports two load cell inputs (strain gauge/piezoelectric), Profibus DP/Modbus RTU communication, and an IP65/NEMA 4 front panel for harsh industrial environments. With a 24VDC power supply (8W max), 0.1% measurement accuracy, and a response time of<10ms, it ensures consistent tension in dynamic processes, reducing material waste and improving product quality in textiles, paper, plastics, metalworking, and cable manufacturing.

3. Typical Applications
• Textile Machinery: Yarn winding, weaving, and knitting for consistent tension, reducing breakage and improving fabric quality.
• Paper & Plastic: Film extrusion, coating, and slitting; prevents wrinkling and ensures uniform thickness.
• Metal Processing: Steel strip rolling, wire drawing, and cable manufacturing for precise tension control during forming.
• Printing & Packaging: Web offset printing, laminating, and rewinding to avoid material stretching or tearing.
• Wire & Cable: Stranding, bunching, and insulation lines for consistent conductor tension and reduced scrap.
4. Installation & Maintenance
Installation: Mount on DIN rail (EN 60715) in a control cabinet; connect load cells with shielded twisted-pair cables (max 100m). Wire 24VDC power, analog outputs (4-20mA to VFD), and RS485 for Modbus. Verify LED status (PWR/COM/ALM) before operation.
Configuration: Use ABB Tension Control Software or front-panel buttons to set measurement mode (A+B/A-B), output scaling (0-10V/4-20mA), and communication parameters (Profibus address, Modbus baud rate).
Maintenance: Monthly: Check load cell connections for tightness; inspect IP65 seals. Annual: Calibrate zero/full scale with standard weights; test relay contacts for continuity. Replace load cells after 10^6 cycles or overload events.
Fault Diagnosis: Load cell error = check wiring/shielding; Communication failure = verify Profibus/Modbus settings; Output drift = recalibrate or replace analog module.
