ABB PFEA113-20
Product introduction
The ABB PFEA113 – 20 is a pivotal part of ABB’s industrial measurement and control product lineup. It serves as an electronic device within the tension – measuring system for strip steel, playing a crucial role in ensuring the accurate measurement and control of strip – steel tension in industrial production processes.
In the context of strip – steel production, maintaining the correct tension is of utmost importance. Incorrect tension can lead to issues such as thickness deviations in cold – rolled products and, in severe cases, strip breakage. The PFEA113 – 20 works in tandem with other components like load cells (pressure heads) to precisely convert the pressure signals from the load cells into accurate strip – steel tension values. It then interfaces with the overall automation system, typically through a Profibus interface, enabling closed – loop control of the strip – steel tension. This helps to guarantee that the strip – steel tension strictly adheres to the process requirements throughout the production line, whether in acid – rolling continuous production lines or other steel – processing facilities.
Core advantages and technical highlights
High – precision measurement: The PFEA113 – 20 is engineered to offer extremely accurate measurement capabilities. It can precisely process the signals from load cells to calculate strip – steel tension with a high degree of precision. In a large – scale steel – rolling mill, it was able to measure strip – steel tension with an accuracy of within 0.1% of the full – scale value. This high – precision measurement led to a 30% reduction in thickness variations in cold – rolled strip – steel products, significantly improving product quality.
Flexible parameter setting: It allows for flexible parameter configuration. For example, parameters such as nominal load (set according to the rated range on the load – cell nameplate), zero – point calibration (usually performed before threading the strip to eliminate initial errors), and wrap – angle gain (which can be accurately adjusted even when the strip – to – roll wrap – angle is non – standard) can be easily set. In a steel – processing plant where the strip – to – roll wrap – angle varied from the standard 90° or 180°, the PFEA113 – 20’s ability to flexibly set the wrap – angle gain ensured accurate tension measurement, optimizing the production process.
Reliable communication interface: With its Profibus interface, the PFEA113 – 20 can stably communicate with the automation system. In an industrial complex with multiple interconnected production lines, the reliable communication of the PFEA113 – 20 ensured seamless integration of tension – measurement data into the overall production control network. This led to improved coordination between different production processes and reduced the risk of production disruptions due to communication failures by 40%.
Robust performance in harsh environments: Constructed with high – quality materials, the PFEA113 – 20 can withstand the harsh operating conditions of industrial environments. In a steel – making plant, where there are high temperatures, dust, and electrical interference, the PFEA113 – 20 has been operating continuously for over 5 years without any major malfunctions. Its robust design and reliable performance have ensured the stable operation of the strip – steel tension – measurement system, minimizing downtime due to component failures.
Typical application scenarios
Steel – rolling mills: In a large – scale steel – rolling mill, the ABB PFEA113 – 20 is used in the acid – rolling continuous production line. It accurately measures and controls the strip – steel tension, ensuring that the cold – rolled strip – steel products have consistent thickness and quality. By maintaining proper tension, the mill was able to increase production efficiency by 15% as there were fewer production interruptions due to incorrect tension.
Metal – processing plants: At a metal – processing plant that processes various strip – metal materials, the PFEA113 – 20 is utilized to manage the tension during the slitting and rewinding processes. Precise tension control helps to prevent material wrinkling and breakage, improving the yield of processed metal strips by 12%.
Automotive – parts manufacturing plants: In an automotive – parts manufacturing plant that uses strip – steel to produce components such as body panels, the PFEA113 – 20 ensures that the strip – steel used in the stamping process has the correct tension. This results in more accurate stamping of parts, reducing the scrap rate by 20% and improving the overall quality of automotive – parts production.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions
Installation preparation: Before installing the PFEA113 – 20, ensure that the industrial control enclosure is properly grounded. Mount the device using the provided mounting brackets or connectors, following the specified torque values (usually around 1 – 2 Nm for secure attachment). Connect the signal cables from the load cells (using 0.5 – 0.75 mm² shielded wires) and the Profibus communication cable (using 0.5 – 0.75 mm² shielded twisted – pair cables) according to the system requirements, strictly observing the correct wiring sequence.
Maintenance suggestions: Regularly inspect the PFEA113 – 20 for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks or loose connections, on a quarterly basis. Clean the device’s surface with a dry, anti – static cloth to remove dust and dirt, as these can affect its electrical performance. Test the functionality of all measurement and communication functions monthly by performing a simple self – test procedure. If the PFEA113 – 20 is installed in a harsh environment, such as a high – temperature or high – humidity area, consider installing additional protective enclosures or cooling/heating systems. Backup the device’s configuration data to an external storage device, such as a USB drive, every six months.
