With the aim of solving warp tension control problems in the let-off system and opening system in the carbon fiber multilayer diagonal loom, dynamic models of warp tension are established in this study based on dynamic analysis. Adaptive fuzzy PID control is applied to the tension-networked control, and an adaptive fuzzy PID controller is designed to solve the problems of network induced delay, packet loss, and network bandwidth occupancy. A TrueTime simulation structure of the tension control system is also built. Compared with PID control, adaptive fuzzy PID control exhibited the advantages of a small overshoot, small fluctuation of output tension, good tracking effect, and stability in simulations under different conditions, including a 30-ms network induced delay, 10% packet loss, and 30% network bandwidth occupancy. The results of the simulations show that adaptive fuzzy PID control has better control effect than PID control, and is more suitable for tension-networked control systems in the carbon fiber multilayer diagonal loom.
