Abstract :
This paper describes the development of a generic tension control system (GTCS) test bed that is to be used to train people and demonstrate the principles of tension control. In order to correctly size the motors, the associated power electronics and sensors required by the GTCS, a system model has to be developed in order to assess the performance and requirements via simulation in SIMULINK. The simulation results are presented and it is shown how the system components were sized
