Chapter 3 Commissioning
3.1 About this Chapter
This chapter contains the information needed to commission a Web Tension System.
It is assumed that the Web Tension System has been installed according to the instructions given 
in Chapter 2 Installation and Appendix (B, C, D, E, F or G) depending on installed load cell 
type.
You must have the following data before starting commissioning:
1. Load cell type and nominal load, see Appendix for installed load cell type
2. System definition, see Section 3.12.2.
• Load cell combination
– One roll (load cells A and B)
– Two rolls (Roll 1 connected to A and B, Roll 2 connected to C and D) or
– Segmented roll
•Gain scheduling (switching wrap gain for two different web paths). 
– One roll, Two rolls (only Roll 1) and Segmented roll.
3. Object type, see Section 3.12.3. 
• Standard roll (Roll 1, load cells A and B or Roll 2, load cells C and D) 
• Single side measurement (Roll 1, load cell A or B and Roll 2, load cell C or D)
• Segmented roll 
Up to 12 load cells connected to max. three PFEA113 can be handled. The load cell inputs 
must be connected to PFEA113 as follows:
- One input, load cell connected to A
- Two inputs, load cells connected to A and B
- Three inputs, load cells connected to A, B and C
- Four inputs, load cells connected to A, B, C and D
4. Desired output data at given web tension
5. Communication data, see Section 3.13.
3.2 Safety Instructions
Read and follow the safety instructions described in Chapter 1 Introduction, before starting any 
commissioning work. However, local statutory regulations, if stricter, are to take precedence.
3.3 Necessary Equipment and Documentation
The following items are required:
• Cable diagram
• Service tools
