protection etc.
3.1 Range of functions
The DIGIFORCE
®
9311 monitors processes in which precisely defined functional relationships need to be
demonstrated between two measured quantities. 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 evaluation elements. After evaluating the measurements, the
instrument displays the measurement curve and computed evaluation results on the colour display and
outputs this data at the external control interfaces. A powerful real-time operating system optimizes
processes in the DIGIFORCE
®
9311 to achieve an extremely fast evaluation cycle. It typically takes just
25 ms to deliver the global OK or NOK evaluation result, which can then be analysed by a higher-level
controller.
In addition to the traditional evaluation windows with defined entry and exit sides, with the DIGIFORCE
®
9311 you can also use thresholds, trapezoids of type X or Y and envelopes as graphical evaluation
elements.
