Product Description
Product Overview

The ABB PFEA113-20 is an industrial tension electronics unit designed for web tension measurement and monitoring applications. It processes signals from compatible load cells and converts measured forces into tension values for display, process monitoring, and integration with industrial control systems.

As part of ABB's web tension measurement portfolio, the PFEA113 series is commonly used in production processes involving moving web materials such as paper, plastic film, textiles, and other continuous materials. Accurate tension measurement helps manufacturers maintain consistent material handling, reduce tension fluctuations, and improve production quality.

The PFEA113-20 is the IP20 DIN-rail version. It provides load-cell signal processing, configurable analog outputs, digital input/output functions, operator configuration, and PROFIBUS-DP communication for compatible automation systems.

Key Features and Benefits
1. Accurate Web Tension Measurement

The PFEA113 processes signals from compatible load cells to calculate web tension. Reliable tension feedback helps operators monitor material movement and identify deviations during production.

2. Multiple Load Cell Connections

The PFEA113 platform supports up to four load cells, depending on the measurement arrangement. This enables measurement configurations for one or two rolls and other supported tension-measurement setups.

3. Six Configurable Analog Outputs

The six analog outputs can be assigned and scaled for compatible tension values. Adjustable scaling and filtering help adapt output signals to connected controllers, monitoring equipment, and process requirements.

4. PROFIBUS-DP Communication

The PFEA113 supports PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus communication, allowing compatible automation systems to exchange measurement and diagnostic information. Confirm the correct device configuration file and controller compatibility before integration.

5. Built-In Diagnostics

The electronics provide status indication and diagnostic messages to help identify system errors or measurement-related warnings. This can simplify troubleshooting and support maintenance activities.

6. Convenient Commissioning

The multilingual display and interactive configuration menus guide users through setup. Parameters such as measurement units, web width, output scaling, filtering, and wrap gain can be configured according to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB PFEA113-20 used for?

It is used to process load-cell signals and measure web tension in industrial material-handling and roll-to-roll production processes.

What is the difference between PFEA113-20 and an IP65 version?

The PFEA113-20 is the IP20 DIN-rail version intended for installation in a suitable control cabinet. The enclosed IP65 version is designed for a different installation environment. Verify the complete order code before purchasing.

Does the PFEA113-20 support PROFIBUS-DP?

Yes. ABB identifies PROFIBUS-DP as the standard fieldbus communication option for the PFEA113 series. Confirm the correct device configuration and controller integration requirements for your installation.

How many load cells can it support?

The PFEA113 series supports up to four load cells, subject to the load-cell specifications and the selected measurement configuration.
