WebPro Intermediate Tension Controller

Controller Tuning

It is essential that all motor drives are correctly set in accordance with the suppliers instructions BEFORE
the Controller is commissioned. The Controller will not compensate for incorrectly set drives.

PI Stability Settings

There are two methods of setting the PI stability; through the Product Parameter menu with the machine
at rest or through the Adjust PI stability menu with the machine running.

Access the Adjust PI stability menu from the Commissioning menu. Run the machine with the Controller
in Auto at a Tension Set Point of approximately 50%. Use the SCROLL keys to select the parameter to be
changed and adjust the parameter using the numeric keys or the +/- keys. Press the CONFIRM key to
implement and save the change. An asterisk alongside the Product Number indicates that a parameter
has been changed and that the CONFIRM key must be pressed to implement and save the change.

When the best performance is achieved stop the machine, remember to press CONFIRM and then press
SET UP to return to the Commissioning menu.

To simplify the tuning there are five factory set PI values. One of these values should be suitable for most
applications. If it is found necessary to apply different PI values, select Custom and starting from PI
values that gave stable but sluggish operation, reduce the P band % value and reduce the I time value
until the desired performance is achieved. Remember to press the CONFIRM key before exiting the
Product Parameter or the Adjust PI stability menus in order to implement and save any changes.

Maximum Trim

(For Output trim only - NO.)

The amount of trim may be selected in the Product parameter or Adjust PI stability menus, a rigid material
will require less trim than an extensible material.

operated or the Auto key is pressed. The Controller is switched off immediately these contacts are
released or the Tension OFF key is pressed.
