    The memory chip in the sensor plug is programmed when the sensor is first ordered or subsequently calibrated. The burster TEDS feature is only available for sensors with a permanently fitted connecting lead.

  • Page 17: Sampling The Measurement Signals

    3.5.2 Sampling the measurement signals ® DIGIFORCE 9311 supports three different sampling methods, which you can enable in combination. In addition to time-based sampling, you can record the pairs of measured values using a configurable ® Delta(Δ)X value or Delta(Δ)Y value. This allows the DIGIFORCE 9311 to use only the optimum number of sample points to record a curve accurately and to reproduce it in full.

  • Page 18: Evaluation Methods

    Evaluation methods ® As a universal evaluation tool, the DIGIFORCE 9311 provides a wide selection of configurable graphical evaluation elements. These can be used for OK/NOK classification of a vast range of curve types. ® In addition to traditional windows with defined entry and exit sides, the DIGIFORCE 9311 also provides thresholds, trapezoids of type X or Y and envelopes as graphical evaluation elements.

  • Page 19: Sensor Test

    Sensor test Regular checking of sensors plays a crucial role in the test reliability of a quality control system. In these ® checks, defined physical quantities are applied to the sensors. The DIGIFORCE 9311 then evaluates the resultant electrical signals. An example of how to calibrate these values is to use a feed unit to move into a reproducible position ®...

  • Page 69: Measurement Mode

    6.3.2.6 Measurement mode Under "Measurement mode" you can specify the signal acquisition parameters for the measurement phase. Essentially the parameters you need to set are the signal sampling, the X-reference for the measurement curve, the curve segment (just to Return point or the Complete curve) and the start/stop condition for the measurement phase.

  • Page 70: Sampling The Measurement Channels

    6.3.2.6.1 Sampling the measurement channels ® The DIGIFORCE 9311 lets you sample signals using a combination of time interval (Δt), X-interval and Y-interval (ΔX, ΔY). This provides flexibility while also letting you compress the measurement recording. It means that you can use just a few measurement points to record curve regions containing a constant or steadily changing signal, whereas you can use more points when you need to record and reproduce steep signal slopes or alternating waveforms.

  • Page 71: Measurement Curve Reference

    6.3.2.6.2 Measurement curve reference ® The DIGIFORCE 9311 provides the following X-references for the measurement curve: ® Reference Absolute The DIGIFORCE 9311 references the measurement curve to the absolute zero point of the measurement system on the X- channel (e.g. displacement sensor). Final force The last measurement point of the forward measurement curve is the reference point...
  • Page 72 Absolute reference By selecting the "Absolute" setting you are setting the X-axis reference of the measurement curve to the zero point of the currently connected sensor. You can choose the "Absolute" reference option when you are able to position both parts involved in a joining process with repeat precision, i.e.
  • Page 73 Final force reference ® With the "Final force" reference (final force used as the reference), the DIGIFORCE 9311 shifts the curve to after the measurement phase and references it to the X-value of the last measurement point ® (final force). If a measurement curve contains a forward and return section, the DIGIFORCE 9311 sets the return point as zero when the reference is set to "Final force".
  • Page 74 Reference: crossing Y reference line ® With the "Reference line" reference, the DIGIFORCE 9311 shifts the curve to after the measurement ® phase. In this case, the DIGIFORCE 9311 references the curve to the point at which it crosses a configurable Y reference level.

    6.3.2.7.4 Envelope ® The DIGIFORCE 9311 can generate from one or more measurement curves an "envelope" for each measurement program. You can generate an "Envelope" only if you use at least one existing measurement curve as the basis for the envelope. Once you have generated the envelope, you can then adjust its position along the X-axis or Y-axis as required and also set the respective expanded Y/X tolerance band (Delta Ymin/max and Delta Xmin/max respectively).
  • Page 92 ® In measurement mode, the DIGIFORCE 9311 checks whether the measurement curve lies within the defined band of the envelope. If so, the measurement curve is evaluated as OK. If, however, the ® measurement curve should cross at least once outside the area of the "envelope", the DIGIFORCE 9311 evaluates the measurement curve as NOK.

  • Page 96: Tolerance Band For Evaluation Elements

    6.3.2.7.5 Tolerance band for evaluation elements You can use the tolerance band for graphical evaluation elements to configure an additional hysteresis region at the boundaries of the element, so for instance at the entry and exit side of a window. In this hysteresis band, the measurement curve can cross back and forth across the boundary line of the graphical evaluation element any number of times without resulting in an NOK evaluation.
  • Page 97 Diagram 57: Tolerance band Note: The Tolerance band X and Y parameters apply to all the graphical evaluation elements together. They cannot be defined for just one specific graphical evaluation element. Note that when a tolerance band is enabled (Tolerance band X or Y > 0), the measurement curve must pass through the area of the graphical evaluation element plus the tolerance value.
