Application

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.

Description

DIGIPILOT 5510 is optimized to collaborate with DIGIFORCE® 9310. The two devices are connected electrically 1:1 via the PLC interface of DIGIFORCE® 9310 and a 25 pin cable model 9900-K331. If DIGIFORCE® 9310 is controlled via PLC the connection must be done on the available second bushing on DIGIPILOT 5510. DIGIPILOT 5510 offers different operation modes that need to be activated by jumpers in the 15 pin Sub-min-D connector for both modes, active as well as passive, i.e. with or without acknowledgement.

This acknowledgement can be effected via the warning lamp on the front side of the instrument or via an external button (normally open). At the beginning of a new measurement, the present evaluation is erased. In the operation mode "Confirmation and evaluation NOK" the red light stays switched-on, even at a new measurement start. It will switchoff only after acknowledging the "NOK" result by pushing the green button.
