WINDINGFEEDER

 

 

 
PC-Link KTF – Example of graphic screen showing the upload of working 
parameters 

(style)

 to the WINDINGFEEDER devices. 

 
 

With PC-LINK KTF Studio Software 

ƒ

 

Using the PC-LINK KTF Studio software or other application programs specifically 
developed by BTSR, you will have the possibility of upgrading 

(via serial line)

 the 

WINDINGFEEDER

 device firmware, without the need of physically replacing the 

microprocessor. In addition, the PC-LINK KTF Studio software offers several analysis 
and monitoring facilities that make easier the tuning of control parameters to the 
production managers. 

ƒ

 

Possibility of displaying in real-time up to 4 control graphics related to as many 

WINDINGFEEDER

 devices. 

ƒ

 

Possibility of displaying/saving and printing 

(for each graphic)

 up to 7 different 

control parameters 

(work tension, min/max tension, motor torque, motor speed, inlet 

tension).

 

ƒ

 

Possibility of immediately checking the efficiency degree of 

WINDINGFEEDER

 

devices by comparing the yarn inlet tension 

(not regulated) 

with the outlet tension 

(regulated by the 

WINDINGFEEDER

 

device).

 

ƒ

 

Possibility of checking 

(or comparing)

 the results obtained with two different versions 

of device control firmware. 

 

For more details, please refer to the PC-LINK KTF Studio operating manual.
