Description
ABB PFEA113-20 is a High-end Tension Electronics Unit (Pressductor Tension Amplifier) for web tension measurement system
Model: PFEA113-20 | Part No: 3BSE210058RD20
Product Title & Description
The ABB PFEA113-20 is a High-end Tension Electronics Unit (Pressductor Tension Amplifier) for web tension measurement system. It works with ABB Pressductor load cells to accurately calculate web tension for continuous web processing lines. Widely used in paper, film, foil, battery electrode, metal strip, textile and coating production lines for closed-loop tension control. It is the top model of PFEA series tension electronics, supporting up to four load cells, with local display, parameter keypad and PROFIBUS DP communication.
Core Product Overview
PFEA113-20 is DIN-rail mounted tension measuring amplifier for Pressductor force sensors. It receives signals from maximum 4 load cells, calculates total tension, tension difference and individual roller force. It has a 2×16 character multi-language LCD display and local keypad for onsite setup, calibration, zeroing and trending. It provides 6 configurable analog outputs, 4 digital outputs, 1 digital input and 2 analog inputs. Supports flexible filtering, scaling, max load memory and continuous self-diagnostics for load cell and wiring faults. PROFIBUS DP interface uploads tension values, alarms and status to PLC/DCS for closed-loop tension control. It can work with Rockwell ControlLogix, Siemens S7 and other PLC platforms.

Installation & Configuration Guide
7.1 Pre-installation Preparation
Verify unit, inspect LCD, keypad and terminal blocks. Prepare Pressductor load cells, shielded sensor cables, 24VDC power, PROFIBUS DP cable and 120Ω terminator. Cut power before installation.
7.2 Installation Steps
Clip onto standard 35mm DIN rail inside cabinet. Wire 24VDC power. Connect Pressductor load cell shielded cables to sensor terminals. Wire analog/digital I/O to PLC or drive system. Connect PROFIBUS DP twisted pair cable, install terminator at bus end. DIN rail must connect to PE protective earth.
7.3 System Configuration & Commissioning
Power on unit, enter menu via front keypad. Set load cell rated force, perform zero calibration and span calibration. Select filter time, configure analog output scaling and digital output alarm thresholds. Set PROFIBUS address. Test tension reading by applying load to load cells. Verify analog output and PROFIBUS data upload to PLC. Save parameter settings.
7.4 Maintenance & Precautions
During shutdown, check cable terminals, shielding and DIN rail earthing. Keep front display and keypad clean. Avoid strong vibration and moisture. If tension reading drift or unstable, check load cell, sensor cable and grounding before replacing .
