These machines are essen­tial in hand­ling mater­i­al webs such as plastic films, paper, tex­tiles, or lam­in­ates. The spe­cific­a­tion sup­ports both hori­zont­al and ver­tic­al com­mu­nic­a­tion and is applic­able across mul­tiple indus­tries, includ­ing plastics & rub­ber as well as print­ing & paper machinery.

It includes:
• Iden­ti­fic­a­tion of the winder sys­tem and its components
• Con­fig­ur­a­tion of wind­ing para­met­ers such as ten­sion, speed, and direction
• Status and con­di­tion monitoring
• Con­trol and mon­it­or­ing of pro­cess val­ues rel­ev­ant to the wind­ing process

A unique fea­ture of OPC 40091 is the mod­el­ing of the web path based on pro­cess val­ues, enabling pre­cise track­ing and con­trol of the mater­i­al flow. This facil­it­ates advanced use cases such as pre­dict­ive main­ten­ance, qual­ity assur­ance, and energy optimization.
