Level Wind/Web Scan Control

The M-Traverse controller is a configurable, microprocessor-based digital controller. The M-Traverse provides precision digital control for reciprocating "back-and-forth" applications. Perfect for level wind guides in the wire, cable and tubing industries; crosslapping fiber and fabric web; scanning for web inspection or chemical applications; fiber wound tanks and cylinders.

• Isolated Analog Interface to any AC or DC Drive.
• Pre-Programmed.. no code to write.
• Operator Interface for Setup & Monitoring.
• Automatic Profile Generation.
• Batch or Layer Counting.
• Interrupt / Resume Configurations.

The M-Traverse control is housed in a 1/2 DIN vertical instrument enclosure with embedded operator interface. The integrated display and keypad panel gains access to numerous control and monitor parameters. Individual application requirements are met by simply accessing the relevant code parameter and then entering the appropriate numerical value. Because the M-Traverse control is pre-programmed, applications can be commissioned in a matter of minutes once the control has been installed. A full compliment of monitor parameters are available to verify operation and assist with diagnostics.

The M-Traverse control has a serial port for RS422/485 communication. ContrexHost software, when loaded on a Windows® PC or laptop, allows you to initiate commands, change parameters, load/save setup values, and monitor more than 50 values on one or up to 32 channels of M-Series controllers.

Features:

• The operator can enter any pitch and width from the keypad directly in engineering units like inches or millimeters.
• Four preset setpoints (process lengths)can be loaded for selection by switch or PLC contacts.
• These setpoints can be changed on-the-fly. Reads quadrature encoders to monitor line speed and direction.
