3.6 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. These give you the
extra flexibility you need to evaluate practically any type of signal curve.
You can configure the graphical evaluation elements both by entering numerical values and graphically
using one or more recorded measurement curves.

3.7 Tare function
The tare function can be used to correct for static offsets on the sensor channels. For instance you can
correct for a varying background load caused by a tool changeover system by running the tare function
before every measurement. You can also set a warning limit for sensors, which can be used to detect
signs of wear in good time and hence avoid any associated measurement errors. If the current measured
value exceeds the stored warning limit while the tare function is active, the DIGIFORCE
®
9311 issues the
"OUT_WARNING_TARE" warning signal.
Options for initiating the tare function
•
Manually in the "Numerical test operation" menu (M58)
•
Automated trigger via the control interface (PLC I/O or Fieldbus “IN_TARE_X”,
“IN_TARE_Y”, “INY”)
•
Automatically when a measurement starts
