Description
The ABB PFEA113-20 (3BSE028144R0020) is a high-performance Web Tension Electronics Module designed for precise tension measurement and control applications. It is part of the ABB Pressductor® tension control product family and is widely used in paper machines, converting equipment, printing systems, rolling mills, and industrial web handling applications.
The module receives signals from ABB load cells such as PFCL, PFTL, and PFRL series, processes tension measurement data, and provides analog outputs and fieldbus communication for integration with PLC, DCS, and drive control systems. The PFEA113-20 supports four load cell inputs, adjustable filtering, and PROFIBUS DP communication for industrial automation environments.
Designed for stable and accurate tension regulation, the PFEA113-20 helps maintain material quality by controlling web tension during continuous production processes. It is commonly installed in existing ABB automation systems as a replacement or maintenance spare.
