General Description
A problem encountered in center driven takeup and letoff velocity mode applications is
the nonlinear relationship between the diameter of a roll and the motor speed required to
maintain constant surface speed of the roll during diameter increase or decrease. A plot
of this relationship shows a hyperbolic curve.
Figure 1: Winder Speed vs Winder Diameter (10:1 Build Ratio)
When the line speed and roll diameter values are known, the required roll speed can be
calculated (i.e. Roll Speed = Line Speed/Roll Diameter). The material surface speed on a
takeup or letoff would be held constant during roll diameter changes.
Furthermore, in torque applications, the torque required to maintain constant tension is
proportional to roll diameter. When the line speed and roll rotational speed values are
known, the required torque can be calculated (i.e. Roll Diameter = Line Speed/Roll
Speed). The tension applied to the material on a takeup or letoff would be held constant
during roll diameter changes.
Model DIV280-000 is designed for the above industrial applications where the division of
DC voltage signals is required to produce the non-linear plot. The module has two
voltage inputs (X & Y). Each voltage input has an associated Teach terminal that can be
used to calibrate the minimum and maximum input levels. The output is based on the
following formula:

Multiturn GAIN, BIAS, BUILD RATIO, and Y TRIM RANGE potentiometers are used to
calibrate the DIV280-000 module. An internal jumper allows selection of a voltage or
current output. Onboard EEPROM is used to backup and retain the calibration values
during a power loss.

Installation
3.1 Wiring Guidelines
To prevent electrical interference and to minimize start-up problems, adhere to the
following guidelines:
Use fully insulated and shielded cable for all signal wiring. The shield should be
connected to circuit common at one end only. The other end of the shield should be
clipped and insulated to prevent the possibility of accidental grounding.
Signal level wiring such as listed above should be routed separately from high level
power wiring (such as the A.C. line, motor, operator control, and relay control wiring).
When these two types of wire must cross, they should cross at right angles to each
other.
Any relay, contactor, starter, solenoid or other electro-mechanical device located in close
proximity to or on the same line supply as the DIV280-000 should have a transient
suppression device such as an MOV or R-C snubber connected in parallel with its coil.
The suppressor should have short leads and be connected as close to the coil as
possible.

Description of Features & Adjustments
JUMPER J2
Selects the Output Mode between Voltage or Current. Position V on J2 selects the
Voltage Mode and the output is sourced from terminals 7 & 8. Position I on J2 selects
the Current Mode and the output is sourced on terminals 7 & 9.
BUILD RATIO Potentiometer
The BUILD RATIO is the ratio of maximum diameter to minimum diameter. The BUILD
RATIO potentiometer has a range of 1 to 20. Clockwise rotation increases the ratio.
INPUT Y TRIM RANGE Potentiometer
In the velocity mode application (where Roll Speed is calculated by dividing Line Speed
by Roll Diameter), a signal proportional to roll diameter (or radius) is required. When the
minimum and maximum signal levels are taught (see the Teach function), the DIV280-
000 module assumes the Zero Diameter and Max Diameter levels are used (points A
and C). Note that point A is the ‘zero’ diameter level which would correspond to the
center axis of the roll. With this type of signal, the normal operating range of signal
would be between points B and C (since the diameter should never fall below core).
During the teach process, the Zero Diameter point (center axis of roll) must be measured
or simulated. Often, it is easier to calibrate the diameter signal by teaching the Core and
Max Diameter levels. (points B to C). However, this introduces an error because the
module assumes the Zero Diameter point has been taught. The Y TRIM RANGE
potentiometer can be used to re-scale the signal so that the minimum input is treated as
the Core level instead of the Zero level.

BIAS Potentiometer

TEACH INPUTS
The INPUT X and INPUT Y terminals can accept a nominal 0 to 10VDC input signal.
Each input has an associated TEACH terminal that can be used to calibrate that input to
the actual minimum and maximum signal levels. Thus, an input signal with a range less
than 10V (1V to 9V for example) can be calibrated to reflect a 0 to 100% input. In
addition, the order in which the voltage levels are taught can be used to invert the slope
of the input. Thus the 1-9V input can reflect a 0-100% or a 100-0% signal.
Apply the signal level to the input terminal that corresponds to 0%. Teach this level by
connecting the associated Teach input to circuit common (terminal 11). Next, apply to
the input terminal the signal level that corresponds to 100%. Teach this level by
disconnecting the Teach input from circuit common. If an error is made during the teach
process, simply repeat the procedure.
Adjustment Procedure
WARNING! DURING CALIBRATION, THE DIV280-000 MODULE WILL
PRODUCE AN OUTPUT. PLEASE DISCONNECT ANY EQUIPMENT
FROM THE MODULE THAT COULD BE DAMAGED OR CAUSE INJURY
DURING THIS PROCESS.
Proceed to Section 5.1 for velocity mode takeups and to Section 5.2 for torque mode
takeups or letoffs.

5.1 Velocity Mode Winder
The DIV280-000 can be used as a velocity mode winder control. In this application, the
winder controls/sets the material speed. As the diameter increases, the center driven
winder speed must be reduced in order to maintain a constant material speed. The
DIV280-000 module calculates the winder speed signal by dividing the line speed by
diameter. The diameter can be measured by using electronic sensors (such as a sonic
or a laser, Figure 5) or by a simple rider arm and potentiometer (Figure 6).

Step 1: Select Output Type
1. Select the type of output desired using Jumper J2. If a Voltage output is desired,
select V on J2 and use output terminals 7 (OUTPUT) and 8 (VOLTAGE
RETURN). If a Current output is desired, select I on J2 and use output terminals 7
(OUTPUT) and 9 (CURRENT RETURN).
Step 2: Connections
1. Make connections per drawing C13815 on page 16. Initially, there should be no
connection on the Teach inputs on terminals 10 & 12.
Step 3: Initial Settings
1. Initially set the potentiometers as follows:
GAIN........................ fully counter-clockwise (CCW)
BIAS ........................ fully counter-clockwise (CCW)
BUILD RATIO .......... fully counter-clockwise (CCW)
Y TRIM RANGE....... fully counter-clockwise (CCW)
2. Remove all material from the winder and load the smallest empty core that will be
used.
3. Apply power to the module.
Step 4: Teach Inputs
1. Turn the Line Speed potentiometer fully counter-clockwise to apply the 0% Line
Speed signal level to Input X on terminal 4. Connect the Teach X input (terminal
10) to circuit common (terminal 11). Turn the Line Speed potentiometer fully
clockwise to apply the 100% Line Speed signal level to Input X. Disconnect the
Teach X input from circuit common.
2. Apply either the Zero Diameter or Core Diameter signal level to Input Y on
terminal 5. Connect the Teach Y input (terminal 12) to circuit common (terminal
11). Apply the Max Diameter signal level to Input Y. Disconnect the Teach Y
input from circuit common.
Step 5: Set Minimum and Maximum Output
1. With GAIN fully CCW, adjust the BIAS potentiometer for minimum output on
terminal 7. For a voltage output, the minimum output is typically 0V. For a current
output, the minimum output is typically either 0mA or 4mA. (Note that the X & Y
input levels have no affect on the output at this time since the GAIN is fully CCW.)
2. Load an empty core. Set external line speed potentiometer to maximum, and start
the winder drive. With the BUILD RATIO fully CCW, adjust the GAIN
potentiometer for the maximum desired output on terminal 7. Typical output levels
are 10V or 20mA. A hand tachometer can be used to measure the surface speed
of the winder (i.e. Ft/min[fpm], Ft/sec[fps], m/min[mpm], etc…). Adjust the GAIN
potentiometer and/or the drive’s speed scaling settings to obtain the maximum
desired surface speed of the empty core. Note the surface speed as this level will
be required later.
3. Ensure the external line speed potentiometer has control of the speed. Verify
speeds with the external line speed potentiometer at minimum, mid-position, and
maximum positions. Stop the drive when complete. If speeds are not correct, re-
teach the Line Speed signal.

Step 6: Adjust Build Ratio
1. Determine the BUILD RATIO by dividing the maximum roll diameter by the
minimum roll (empty core) diameter. If multiple sizes are used, calculate with the
smallest core and the largest maximum diameter. For example, a maximum
diameter of 32” and a core diameter of 4” will yield a Build Ratio of 8.
2. Determine the Max Diameter Core Speed by dividing the surface speed measured
in 5.2 above by the BUILD RATIO. For example, with a maximum speed of
100fpm and a BUILD RATIO of 8, the Max Diameter Core Speed would be
12.5fpm (100fpm/8=12.5fpm)
3. Load a maximum diameter roll so that it can be rotated without feeding material.
Rotate the BUILD RATIO potentiometer fully clockwise (approx 20 turns) and the
external speed potentiometer to minimum. Start the winder drive and slowly rotate
the external line speed potentiometer to maximum. Slowly adjust the BUILD
RATIO potentiometer counter clockwise until the surface speed of the material
matches the maximum surface speed measured in 5.2. Alternatively, if a portion
of the core is not obstructed by the material, its surface speed should be equal the
Max Diameter Core Speed value calculated in 6.2. Stop the machine once
complete.
Step 7: Adjust Y TRIM RANGE
1. If the diameter signal on Input Y was calibrated using the Zero Diameter and Max
Diameter levels, then no adjustment is required on the Y TRIM RANGE
potentiometer (leave fully CCW). Calibration is now complete. Otherwise,
continue below. (Note: The majority of users will need to continue with the
following step.)
2. Load an empty core and set external line speed potentiometer to minimum.
Rotate the Y TRIM RANGE potentiometer fully clockwise (approx 20 turns). Start
the winder and slowly increase the external line speed potentiometer to maximum.
Rotate the Y TRIM RANGE potentiometer counter-clockwise until the winder
surface speed equals the maximum surface speed level measured in Step 5.2
above.
Step 8: Final Settings
1. The external Line Speed potentiometer can be used to set the desired material
speed. As the diameter builds, the DIV280-000 will decrease the velocity signal to
the winder to maintain a constant material speed.
