On production floor, the need for optical as well as acoustical notification of OK and NOK parts can be found oftentimes next to the evaluation done by measuring and evaluating instrumentation. Especially for manual work places with a certain allowed time/work piece ratio the additional notification related to the product is wanted, sometimes also the control of the previously identified OK and NOK parts. This function is fulfilled by DIGIPILOT 5510.
The control device regulates dependencies of work processes by necessary acknowledgement of OK- and/or NOK parts and informs the results visually via warning lamp and acoustically via buzzer. Moreover, the mechanical arrest of a press, storing area or part feeding can be effected until an unmistakable identification for the product is done.
The dependencies of acknowledgement, alarm and arrest are determined by the different operation modes which can be changed only by the fitter himself. The 24 V supply voltage for supplying the inputs "OK-" and "NOK acknowledg ments" is available even without a connected PLC. The DIGIPILOT 5510 is designed for rough industrial environment. As a complete unit with different switching and notification possibilities the device is priced at good value compared to a collection of separate solutions.
