Web Tension Indicator: Model LCp-100 HS

The LCp-100 HS is a high performance

tension indicator and transmitter with features

and options focused on the requirements

of time critical, high-speed web

measurement and control. It is compatible

with all strain gage type tension transducers

and designed to connect easily with

any PLC, DCS, or PC based process control

system. Special design emphasis has

been placed on simplicity, reliability, and

expandability.

Both the front panel display and the 16 bit

analog output are updated every 8.3 milliseconds

(120 updatesper second). This

rate provides precise control for web applications

running at 2000 feet per minute

and faster.

Units are equipped with an expansion slot

for installing a wide range of specialized

digital interfaces such as Allen-Bradley Remote

l/O, Modbus Plus, or Profibus. An integral

RS-422/485 serial port provides

standard ASCII or Modbus RTU communication

for all other devices.

The LCp-100 Operating System encompasses

over 50 years of Vishay BLH application

expertise. Quick calibration and

setup procedures save time, money, and

even field service calls. On-line diagnostics

continuously monitor system performance

and alert service personnel to potential

problems before they happen.
