Actual tension data
Tension is read from the DLCA NET-S1 in the four cyclic
parameters: Tension 1, Tension 2, Tension Sum, and Tension
Difference.
The tension value is a 32-bit signed integer and is scaled to be 160
times the Maximum Tension value, ignoring the decimal point
position set by parameter 0x207 or 0x217. The tension reading will
be at least 14-bit resolution when the maximum tension is 3
significant digits. Lower resolution will result if maximum tension is
less than 3 significant digits.
In a two tension zone amplifier:
Tension 1 is the value of tension read on Channel 1.
Tension 2 is the value of tension read on Channel 2.
Tension Sum and Tension Difference are always 0.
Examples of:
-
Maximum Tension
values and how they
should be entered into
the DLCA NET, and
-
How to scale a PLC or
drive input to achieve
14 bit resolution at high
or low tensions.
