VERSATEC™ free loop control mode
 

Have you experienced fully automatic non-contact free loop control? With the VERSATEC, the machine operator simply enters the desired distance for the minimum and maximum outputs as well as the desired loop position using the keypad, and then the loop positions are controlled by ultrasonically measuring the actual position and commanding the necessary output to achieve and maintain the position you desire.  The VERSATEC program is optimized for speed control applications, and will control an AC or DC drive or servo drive to maintain the loop position.The multi-line display indicates the setpoint and actual position simultaneously, and simplifies setup and operation.

Key Features:

• Loop position is controlled to an adjustable setpoint
• Ultrasonic sensor never touches the web
• Two alarm set points alert the operator when the loop reaches preset limits

Position adjustments may be made easily from the VERSATEC keypad, through remotely mounted push buttons, or through a PLC. Its responsiveness to position changes is easily optimized for any system. Two alarm outputs can be adjusted to alert the operator before an out of range condition occurs, and an adjustable hysteresis feature prevents the alarms from chattering due to small changes in loop position. Standard opto-isolated control inputs and outputs allow the VERSATEC to interface with PLCs and AC & DC Drives.
