MAGPOWR DLCA-NET Digital Load Cell Amplifiers with Built-in Ethernet Communications

The DLCA NET is a new load cell amplifier with embedded dual port communications including EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP and EtherCAT. Also included are Rockwell features like EDS File based AOP add on profile, DLR Device Level Ring and PTP time stamping.

The DLCA NET transmits calibrated tension values over the communications to a PLC, HMI or drive to display tension or be used in a tension control loop when not using a MAGPOWR tension control. The DLCA NET is available in 3 mounting options and is available as a single channel version to monitor tension in a single zone with separate left and right load cell inputs or as a dual channel amplifier for 2 separate tension zones.

  • Tidland D3 Differential Air Shaft

    With Tidland’s Equalizer Model D3 Differential Air Shaft, operators can run a variety of different roll widths with adjustable pressure all along the length at the same time. The Equalizer D3 is guaranteed to provide core positioning with adjustable air pressure without spacers or core stop setup. It’s designed for duplex center or surface winders for multiple roll tension equalization. When not covered by the core, tension elements mechanically lock in place to secure core position through the entire run. The D3 requires no tools for core stops, no core stop positioning. Use these air shafts and say “No” to tools, spacers, core shifts and waiting for core position setup.
