B&R Industrial Automation's Software Library for Controlling Winder Processes

Software library for controlling winder processes can handle open-loop tension control using a set torque value or closed-loop tension control with the aid of measurement value feedback or a dancer. Tension can be stabilized even in the acceleration and deceleration phases by automatically adjusting both the speed control parameters of the drive and the feed-forward controls for speed and acceleration. Functions relate to all winding processes, including wire saws, sheet metal and textiles.
