Modular Controls

MCS2000 Series Digital Web Tension Controls
The MCS2000 Web Tension Controller handles all winding, intermediate zone and unwinding applications. MCS2000 easily interfaces to the appropriate clutch/brake driver or motor drive. The digital controller ends the problem of handling large diameter ratios greater than 10:1.

P-I-D parameter programming
Automatic P-I-D parameter adaptation
Dual outputs in either current or voltage operation modes
Auto-splice circuit
Optically isolated I/O
PLC compatible
Auto ranging of sensors
Programmed via hand held programmer or Windows PC program
Programmable based parameters may be saved on a plug-in memory card
Multilingual programming
Usable for unwind/zone/rewind: Electric or Pneumatic Clutches and Brakes, AC, DC, Servo or Stepping Motor Drives.

Analog Controls

TCS Series Analog/Manual Controls
The TCS-200 is a manual analog control for the Electro Disc Tensioning Brake. The control is a constant-current output type that uses a front panel or remote potentiometer to

adjust the output. The TCS-200-1/-1H is a manual analog control for any 24 VDC tension brake. It can also accept a 0-10 VDC or 4-20mA analog input for adjusting the output.

TCS-200

Input: 24-30 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Output: 0-270 mA continuous per magnet up to 12 electro disc magnets, adjustable 3.24 amps
Torque adjust, brake on, run, brake off switch on front panel
Remote torque adjust, roll follower inputs

TCS-200-1 Selectable Voltage

Input: 115/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Output: 0-24 VDC adjustable, 4.25 amps continuous
Torque adjust, brake on/off, run switch
Remote torque adjust, roll follower inputs

TCS-200-1H

Input: 115/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Output: 0-24 VDC adjustable, 5.8 amps continuous
Torque adjust, brake on/off, run switch
Remote torque adjust, roll follower, analog voltage or current option

MCS-204 Remote/Analog Control The MCS-204 is a solid-state control designed for manual or analog input to operate one or two 24 VDC tension brakes. It is designed for use with the MCS-166 power supply.
Input 24-28 VDC @ 3 amps Operates from torque adjust control knob on front, remote potentiometer, roll follower, or current loop
Panel mount with exposed wiring or wall/shelf mount enclosure with conduit entrance.

TCS-220 Analog Tension Control The TCS-220 operates an Electro Disc or other electromagnetic tension brake from an analog input (customer supplied) or the manual setting of the "Torque Adjust" dial on the control face.
Input: 48 VDC. 1.6 amps continuous, 6 amps intermittent. Analog inputs from roll follower or current loop. Output per magnet is 0-270 mA running, 270-500 mA stopping
Cabinet mounting enclosure with exposed wiring or wall/shelf mounting enclosure with conduit entrance.

MCS-208 Analog Tension Control The MCS-208 operates pneumatic tension brakes through an E to P transducer, which varies air pressure accordingly. Control output is based on an analog input (customer supplied) or the manual setting of the "Torque Adjust" dial on the control face.
Input: 26 VDC. Analog inputs from roll follower or current loop
Output: 1-9 VDC; 1-5 mA, 4-20 mA, or 10-50 mA, depending on transducer needs Cabinet mounting enclosure with exposed wiring or wall/shelf mounting enclosure with conduit entrance.

TCS-320 Analog Splicer Control The TCS-320 is a solid state splicer control that operates two Electro Disc or other electromagnetic tension brakes, one brake controlling and one brake holding, or two tension brakes operating simultaneously. It can also be used as a dual brake control operating up to 24 MTB brake magnets.
Input: 48 VDC, 3.2 amps continuous, 12 amps intermittent Output per magnet is 0-270 mA running, 270-500 mA stopping, 9-90 mA holding Available as open frame or with NEMA 4 enclosure

Dancer Controls

MCS-203 Dancer Control
The MCS-203 automatically controls web tension through a dancer roll and sensor. It

has 24 VDC output for use with TB, ATTB & ATTC, and Magnetic Particle clutches and brakes.

Operates two 24 VDC tension brakes in parallel when using dual MCS-166 power supplies

Full P-I-D loop adjustment and system gain adjustment for optimum control.
Available in open frame or enclosed wall/shelf mount enclosure.

TCS-210 Dancer Control The TCS-210 automatically controls web tension through a dancer roll and position sensor. It outputs to an Electro Disc or other electromagnetic tension brake.
