Company's Order Placement Process and Guarantees

  • Warranty: 365 days

  • Delivery: 1 week if in stock; not more than one month at the latest

  • Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery

  • Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

  • Optimized for Pressductor load cells – Designed to work with ABB PFTL series load cells for accurate force/tension measurement in continuous processes.

  • Stable, low-noise outputs – Filtered analog outputs typically deliver smooth 4–20 mA signals to your PLC/DCS, helping close loops without hunting.

  • Fieldbus-enabled “F” variant – The 401F model is known for fieldbus connectivity, commonly used to integrate with modern control systems while retaining analog I/O.

  • DIN-rail, cabinet-friendly – Compact form factor makes it easy to retrofit into existing panels with standard 35 mm DIN rail.

  • Process-ready filtering – Configurable filtering helps stabilize readings in applications with mechanical chatter or varying web dynamics.

  • Protective isolation – Isolated inputs/outputs (typical for this class) reduce ground loop issues and maintain signal integrity.

A packaging customer told me they swapped in a PFXA 401F on a high-speed film line and saw noticeably steadier tension feedback after enabling moderate digital filtering—no change to the mechanics, just cleaner control signals.

Related or Supporting Products

  • PFTL 101 / PFTL 201 Pressductor load cells – The standard ABB load cells for strip/web tension and force measurement; pick capacity based on roll size and expected tension.

  • PFEA 111 / PFEA 112 / PFEA 113 – Earlier-generation ABB tension electronics; good for analog-only setups. PFXA 401F typically adds fieldbus capabilities and updated filtering.

  • Shielded load cell cables and junctions – To maintain signal quality over distance and reduce EMI in high-power drives environments.

  • PLC/DCS modules (analog input) – If you’re not using fieldbus, make sure your controller has isolated AI channels for 4–20 mA integration.

Installation & Maintenance

  • Cabinet environment – Mount on 35 mm DIN rail inside a ventilated cabinet. Keep away from high-frequency drives or power busbars; in many cases, a segregated low-voltage door channel helps.

  • Wiring practices – Use shielded, twisted-pair cabling for the load cell bridge. Ground the shield at one end only (typically the controller side) to avoid loops.

  • Power and protection – Feed from a clean 24 VDC industrial supply with proper fusing. A dedicated 24 VDC PSU rail for instrumentation often reduces noise.

  • Commissioning – Perform zero/span calibration with known loads. Enable moderate digital filtering first; increase only if needed to avoid response lag.

  • Routine care – Check terminal tightness quarterly, verify zero drift, and review alarm thresholds. Firmware updates, where applicable, should be scheduled during planned downtime.

  • Safety – De-energize before wiring, and follow lockout/tagout. If installed near moving webs or rolls, keep service clearances and guards in place.

Quality & Certifications

  • CE conformity (EMC and Low Voltage directives)

  • RoHS compliance for hazardous substances

  • UL/cUL suitability for control equipment is commonly available on ABB instrumentation (verify label for your unit)

  • Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems

If you’re replacing older electronics or standardizing across lines, the PFXA 401F seems to be a practical way to keep ABB Pressductor accuracy while speaking the same language as your PLC—typically analog, PROFIBUS, or RS‑485 depending on the exact build. Send a photo of your nameplate and we’ll confirm the specific interface and supply details before shipping.
