IQ POWER MPS POWER SUPPLY

ion current to optimize static neutralization performance. In order to
successfully invoke Auto-Tune, certain operating parameters must be
defined:
– Web Speed Mode will have to be set.
– Web Speed will have to be entered by the user.
– Mounting Distance will have to be entered by the user. It is the distance
between the face of the static neutralizing bar and the web, or material to
be neutralized.
•
CLFB
- Closed Loop Feed Back. The best control of ion balance. An IQ
Easy Sensor Bar must be paired with the MPS for closed loop control. The
sensor bar must be downstream of the static neutralizing bar in order for
CLFB to work. The sensor bar detects any voltage imbalance on the web,
or material to be neutralized, then transmits this information to the static
neutralizing power supply. The power supply makes incremental changes to
the balance setting until downstream charges are minimized.
•
Manual
- Allows manual control of the ion balance. Manual mode includes
voltage regulation and current monitoring found in the standard mode, plus
manual control of the ion balance ratio. This mode of operation would
only be selected where the web, or material to be neutralized, exhibited
extreme and consistent charging of one polarity.
Bar HV
- Allows turning the HV power supplies on / off (standby mode).
Ion Output
- The ionization level, in percent, where Bar Calibration = 100%.
Balance
- A ratio of input power supplied to the high voltage power supplies that is
related to ion balance. In Fixed, Auto-Tune and CLFB modes this is a display only
and non-editable. The Balance may only be user adjusted in the Manual mode.
Upstream Estimate
- An on/off setting enabling estimation of voltage on the web
before the static bar. The value of the upstream estimate may be adjusted by altering
the Upstream Factor.
Downstream Estimate
- An on/off setting enabling estimation of voltage on the
web after the static bar. The value of the downstream estimate may be adjusted by
altering the Downstream Factor.
Mounting Distance
- A user editable dimension, the spacing between the face of the
bar and web (surface being neutralized / measured). The factory default mounting
distance for speed type neutralizing bars is 4” (100mm).
NOTE
– This information (Mounting Distance) MUST be correct. It is
used by the static neutralizing bar when in Auto-Tune mode and used by the
static sensor bar for calibration. If this information is not correct, the static
bar may not operate properly when in the Auto-Tune mode or the static
sensor bar may report incorrect web voltages.
