The Micro 4000NET controller is the heart of the industry’s most advanced web guide system. It is designed to handle any application, perform in any environment, and guide all web materials. The Micro 4000NET offers outstanding flexibility by interfacing with existing customer networks and PLCs. The result is the ability to provide unmatched accuracy, consistency and reliability. It is compatible with all of AccuWeb’s dynamically compensated WideArray™ and standard edge detectors, AccuBeam® 3 line guide, and all linear actuators — all in one enclosure.

The Micro 4000NET is packed with advanced
web guide features.
 

Remote guide point adjust station

 • Digital Speed and Accuracy — Automatically calibrates the web guide system for environmental changes, web process contaminents, and web
edge changes every 4 milliseconds.
• Operator Friendly — Intuitive touch pad interface with LED indicators.
Setup parameters are located inside the controller, safe from inadvertent adjustments.

Dynamically compensated edge detectors

• No Setup Downtime — The system performs continuous automatic calibration of edge detectors through AccuWeb’s exclusive dynamic compensation process.
• Network Friendly — Optional fieldbus adapters easily interface with
most popular fieldbus networks, including ControlNet™, DeviceNet™,
Modbus Plus, Profibus®-DP, and Ethernet protocols. Discreet I/O
interfacing is a standard feature.

Digital line guides

 • Easy Installation — All components are contained within this single enclosure – reducing interconnections and easily installs on web guide equipment next to the web guide frame.
• Ratings — Enclosure is rated IP65 for protection from harsh
environments, and designed to UL, EUL, CUL, CE and FCC codes.
Reference UL certification at www.ul.com.

Handling the largest electromechanical actuators in the industry (up to 60,000 lbs of thrust)

 • Hazardous Duty — Optional provisions for use in Class I Division 1 hazardous environment. Note: control enclosure must be located outside
of the hazardous environment.
