DIGIFORCE® 9307
The DIGIFORCE® 9307 monitors processes in which precisely defined functional relationships between two or more measured quantities need to be demonstrated. These measured quantities are recorded synchronously during the manufacturing process or subsequent functional testing to produce a measurement curve, which is then assessed using graphical and mathematical evaluation techniques. After internal evaluation, the measurement curve and computed evaluation results are visualized on the color display and are also output at the external control interfaces. The processes in the controller are optimized by a powerful real-time operating system to achieve an extremely fast evaluation cycle: it typically takes just 15 ms to deliver the global OK or NOK evaluation result, which can then be analyzed by the higher-level controller.
In addition to the traditional evaluation windows with defined entry and exit sides, the DIGIFORCE® 9307 also offers thresholds, trapeziums of type X or Y and envelopes as graphical evaluation elements.Individual evaluation results from the graphical tools can then be combined by mathematical operations to provide even more analysis flexibility for a huge range of signal curves.
DIGIFORCE® has a wide range of process control applications, including monitoring processes such as joining, riveting or calking, or checking torque curves, for instance for hinges or high-quality rotary controls. Even complex signal/time curves (e.g. pressure curves, leaks etc.) can be monitored using the large choice of evaluation techniques.
Simultaneous recording of up to two Y variables (Y1 and Y2) with respect to a common X variable allows many applications to use one DIGIFORCE® controller to monitor two synchronous processes.
Alternatively, this feature can be used to evaluate an application with three process variables, for instance the force/displacement curve and associated current consumption of a lifting electromagnet. While DIGIFORCE® is used in many automated production areas, it is equally at home in the manual workstation, for instance to monitor force/displacement when using hand presses for assembly or for random spot-checking in goods inwards.
