Power Amplifiers with Strip Guidance Controller Modules

EEA-PAM-5**-E-32 Series General Description
A strip guidance controller serves to control the position of an electrohydraulic actuator, using optical sensors. The controller can be used for strip-edge or strip-center guidance or stack height control. It consists of a power amplifier for proportional valves, and an integrated module for strip guidance control.

Operation Non-contact optical sensors measure the position of the strip edge. The output from a sensor is an electrical signal, which is fed to the strip guidance controller (signal ranges 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA, 0 to +10V, or 0 to +24V). When activated, the strip guidance controller maintains the strip edge exactly in the center of the measuring range. If the position of the strip edge deviates from the center of the measuring range, the controller causes the actuator to move the strip edge back into position. When closed-loop control is activated by the digital input signal Automatic, the strip edge is moved from its current position into the measuring range of the

sensor. The maximum actuator velocity (forwards and reverse) can be set on the front panel. Whenever the strip edge leaves the measuring range of the sensor, the controller generates a digital output signal which can be processed by the machine controller. If closed-loop control is not activated, the controller can be operated open-loop. In this case the actuator travels at the velocity set by potentiometer V+ when digital input set + is activated. V and digital input set are used for movements in the reverse direction. A built-in test function together with front panel monitor points, considerably simplify start-up and fault diagnosis.

Warning: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) It is necessary to ensure that the valve is wired up in accordance with the connection arrangements shown in this leaflet. For effective protection, the users electrical cabinet, the valve subplate or manifold and the cable screens should be connected to efficient earth (ground) points. The metal 7-pin connector part no. 934939 should be used for the integral amplifier. In all cases, both valve and cable should be kept as far away as possible from any source of electromagnetic radiation such as cables carrying heavy current, relays and certain kinds of portable radio transmitters, etc. Difficult environments could mean that extra screening may be necessary to avoid the interference.
