Overview
The ABB PFEA112-20 (Part No. 3BSE030369R0020) is part of ABB’s PFEA series of tension electronics modules, engineered to deliver accurate and stable tension measurement in web-handling systems. It processes signals from load cells and converts them into actionable control outputs for drives and automation systems.
Moreover, the module features a multi-language digital display, configuration keys, and DIN-rail or IP65 mounting options, making it adaptable to both standard and harsh industrial environments. In addition to displaying sum, difference, or individual load cell signals, it supports redundant configurations and real-time diagnostics. Therefore, it’s widely used in industries where tension consistency directly impacts product quality, such as paper, film, foil, and textile production.
