A Monitoring System For PLC Controlled Manufacturing System Based On Fieldbus1
IntroductionThe winding vacuum systems for plating metal such as zinc and aluminium on thin film are very common in the capacitance industry
The main goal is to increase as much as possible the film transport velocity while controlling the tension of the film
The tension and the speed of the film should be maintained at a reference value
The main concern is the coupling existing between film velocity and tension
There exist many sources of disturbances on the velocity (roller non-circularity, film sliding)
If the delivery speed fluctuates, then the treatment on the film becomes nonuniform
On the other hand inappropriate tension may cause wrinkles or even a film break
Once film break takes place, the oper
