• When the non-linear taper "LINEAR" is selected, the sys-
tem enters in the linear line taper mode.  The control takes 
place according to the taper ratio on the panel or to the 
taper ratio determined by the external controller, whichev-
er is larger.
The taper ratio entered is the reduction rate from the set 
tension.
• The tension characteristics appears to be linear against 
the reel diameter signals as shown in the right figure.
• To set the taper ratio by key entry, use the taper set screen 
on the operator screen.  For the taper ratio setting by the 
external controller, see page 38.
• When the non-linear line data is set through the pan-
el, the taper tension control takes place as follows:
Set the taper data as follows:
Corner 1 < corner 2 < corner 3 < corner 4
• When the 4-stage non-linear line taper control is not 
necessary, for instance, when the tension is con-
stant from the minimum diameter to corner 1 and the 
linear line taper is given from corner 1, set the taper 
as shown in the right figure (Corner 1, Taper 1) (Cor-
ner 2, Taper 2).  The linear line taper control may 
take place from corner 1 to  corner 2.
Set the data as follows:
corner 1 
≥ Dmin, corner 2 ≥ Dmax
Not necessary to set data to corners 3 and 4.
The "TARGET" value in which the taper ratio is taken can be confirmed on the "TNSN.MNT.” ( tension 
monitor ) screen of the operator screen.
