Stop Multiplier
From the
Parameters
menu.
Enter a value that will dictate the control output during STOP mode.
Spyder will use the last control output sent during RUN mode before
the STOP signal is received and multiply it by the value set here for
the duration of the Stop Time. The control continues to control
tension during the Stop Time. When the stop multiplier value is
correctly set, it will automatically boost output to the braking device
during stops to keep the tension constant.
Stop Time
From the
Parameters
menu.
Enter a value based upon the amount of time it takes your machine to
ramp down from steady state operation to a complete stop. When this
time has expired, Spyder will automatically proceed into HOLD mode.
Subnet Mask
From the
Network
menu.
Determines the range of addresses in a subnet. Consult your system
administrator. If DHCP is enabled this parameter is ignored.
Switch to Quick Stab
From the
Tuning
menu.
When a tuning parameter is adjusted to its most stable value and the
system is still unstable, the Spyder automatically switches to Quick
Stab so that the other parameters are tuned in the correct order.
Taper Percent
From the
Operator Loop
.
When REWIND or UNWIND type is selected, you may enter a value
here that will taper off the output as the roll progresses from core to
full. This feature is useful for reducing the inward forces that develop
in rolls with a large differential between core and full diameters. If you
are experiencing crushed cores, telescoping or starring rolls, try
increasing taper in steps until you reach a value that works well for
your process. See Section 6.2.1.3 or 8.2.1.4.
Taper Setup
One of the top level menu screens. Used to calibrate diameter and to
edit Core Diameter and Full Roll Diameter.
Tension
In the
Operator Loop
.
Displays the actual tension in both numeric and bar graph forms.
Try larger Max
From the
Cal Sensors
menu.
The Spyder will suggest a Max Tension that will make sure that the
load cells are loaded to at least 1/8 of their Maximum Tension. This
may mean that a load cell with too large of a rating has been
installed.
Try smaller Max
From the
Cal Sensors
menu.
The Spyder will suggest a Max Tension that will keep the load cells
from being out of range at Max Tension
Tune I First. Then P second
From the
Tuning
menu for point to point systems.
The Spyder should be optimized in the order shown.
