Introduction
1.4 General Safety Instructions

1B
Read the instruction manual prior to commissioning, main-

taining, or repairing the system. Strictly comply with all
safety instructions.
Keep the instruction manual on hand for personnel at the
implementation site of the force-displacement measuring
device.
Tasks and programming on the force-displacement meas-

uring device should only be performed by personnel who
have read and understood these operating instructions.
Kistler assumes no liability for personal injury or material

damage that occurs through failure to comply with the
safety instructions, or violation of the duty of care. This
applies for handling, operation, for care and maintenance,
or for repair of the NC joining module, even if there is no
special reference to this duty of care in the operating and
maintenance instructions.
Only trained, qualified electricians should perform tasks

that have anything to do with the electrical system of the
NC joining system and the force-displacement measuring
device. If tasks must be performed on energized parts, a
second person who can disconnect the power supply in
an emergency must also be present.
The valid directives, standards, and accident prevention

regulations must be complied with. Failure to comply
with these directives, standards, and accident prevention
regulations can cause severe injury or material damage!
Only operate the NC joining module with force-
displacement measuring device if safe operation is possi-
ble.
Kistler shall not be liable for damage that occurs due to
non-compliance with these regulations.
As long as the device is connected, energized parts or

moving parts can be exposed when opening or removing
covers.
Only a specialist should perform maintenance and repair
tasks on energized, open devices.
Only work with the force-displacement measuring device
unter the specified operating conditions, e. g. ambient
temperature. Protect the device from dust an mechanical
stress such as shock and vibrations.
Avoid high humidity and temperature changes that result
in condensation.
002-518-3e-01.14 Seite 7
Contents
Suitable safety measures such as two-hand start, protec-

tive grilles, etc. must be provided by the manufacturer of
the ready-to-use machine or system, and these safety
measures must be integrated in the control circuit in
accordance with the determined risk category. The safety
circuit must be activated when using the NC joining unit.
EMERGENCY STOP switches must be connected as speci-
fied in the safety and wiring insturctions of the servo
controller.
The valid directives, standards, and accident prevention
regulations must be complied with.
Failure to comply with these directives, standards, and
accident prevention regulations can cause severe injury or
material damage!
The system cannot be used in plant areas that are subject
to explosion hazard.
When working in the traverse range of the plunger the
main switch for the overall machine must be switched off
and you must ensure that the power unit of the servo
controller is switched off.
The safety requirements imposed on the overall machine

must be defined by the machine manufacturer who speci-
fies the manufacturing concept – automatic stations, man-
ual workstation, automatic assembly, manual assembly –
with the plant operator. These conditions will then serve as
the basis of the safety concept that is required for the plant
or parts of the plant.
Fitting the joining units with safety components – brakes,
speed monitor, safety switch devices, – and the integration
of these components in the safety concept will then be
specified on the basis of the required hazard analysis. Op-
erating the units with bypassed protective devices is strictly
prohibited. If for technical reasons operators must be pre-
sent occasionally or constantly in the danger zone, the ma-
chine equipment must be part of a safety concept that is
suitable for this mode of operation.
You must ensure that with the joining units without brake,
the tool weight does not exceed the limits defined by
Kistler Lorch GmbH. The permissible weights are provided
in the data sheets or the operating instructions.
Additional instructions are provided in the documentation

of the servo controller, see the documentation CD!

System Description
2. System Description
2.1 DMF-P A300 NCF Type 4734A…
2.1.1 General Function

The single-channel force/displacement measuring system
Type 4734A… DMF-P A300 NCF was specially developed
for the deployment in facilities and systems with our elec-
tro mechanical NC joining systems NCF, NCFH, NCFN,
NCFT and NCFS. The firmware was upgraded so that set
values can be managed and transmitted to the servo con-
troller of Bosch Rexroth (Ecodrive, Indradrive).
The joining monitoring, as well as parameterisation, visuali-
sation and evaluation of the process are done via the sin-
gle-channel force/displacement measuring system Type
4734A… DMF-P A300 NCF. The conditioning of the signal
of both sensors is executed in the Type 4734A… DMF-P
A300 NCF. It is suitable for the deployment in automatic
production lines as well as for manual workstations.
Driving of the spindle is effected by means of an electroni-
cally commutated AC servo motor, which is activated by
one of the mentioned servo controllers. The monitoring of
the traversing area of the spindle can be parameterised in
the servo controller.
An SPS is necessary for controlling the operation.
Advantages
 Forward-backward measurement
 Traction-compression applications
 Possibility for 4-quadrant measurement
 32 nominal values
 8 evaluation functions/window per nominal value
 Multilingual menu
 Additional window types: hysteresis, breakpoint, gradi-
ent,
 Speed, selective teach-in operation
 Online- and offline evaluations
 Statistics with protocol functions
 Logging of measurement results (I-P.M., Q-DAS, csv, txt, ...)
 Self monitoring and diagnosis
 Ethernet 10/100 MBit/s for networking
 Fieldbus interfaces (optional)
 PS/2 keyboard connection for simple operation
 Web server for visualization, modification and filing as
well as remote-control via PC by Ethernet

Joining/Measurement
3. Joining/Measurement

The NC joining operation must be defined from the user
(Positions, speed of movement…). The NC joining opera-
tion is controlled by the plc of the user.
The position sets (Positions, speed of movement…) are

programmed and stored at the monitoring system DMF-P
A300 NCF Type 4734A... and transferred to the servo con-
troller. The PLC selects and starts the required position set.
The positioning of the spindle is now performed by the
servo-controller, which displays a signal message as soon
as the target position is reached. Then the PLC can select a
new position set and move to the next process position.
This allows breakpoints, manual interventions by the oper-
ator, parts exchange, etc.
In case of position sets with automatic set point record
stepping – i.e. servo controller controlled automatic step-
ping from one position set to the next – only the first set
has to be started. The ready signal comes on after the last
position has been approached.
Transmission of position sets from the monitoring system

DMF-P to the servo controller is performed automatically
or manually according to the system settings. For further
information about the activation, please refer to the in-
struction manual of the servo controller.
Each position set in the servo controller can be called up
individually by the PLC. No activation by the DMF-P A300
NCF Type 4734A... takes place.
Starting the joining operation although the measurement

will be started.
During the measurement X- and Y-signals are acquired

synchronous and recorded (trace of measurement). The
measurement is activated by an external signal. The begin-
ning of the trace recording can although be effected by a
programmed trigger level. By user defined tolerance win-
dows the evaluation of the measured trace will be done
and a definite detection of OK and NOK is performed

3.1.2 Extended Joining Operation (Press Parameter Menu: Long)

For more complex press operations or if breakpoints for the
supply of material or tools are required, an extended press
parameter menu with up to 16 position sets per program is

ment of record stepping modes to create operational pro-

The joining process shall be determined by the user (posi-
tions, traversing speeds….).
With the sequencing controller that is part of the monitor-
ing and evaluation system DMF-P A310 Universal Type
4740A... , the joining sequence is controlled in dependence
of machine and equipment PLC.
The position sets (positions, traversing speeds...) and join-
ing sequences are parameterised in the monitoring and
evaluation system DMF-P A310 Universal Type 4740A...
The field bus master directly initiates communication with
the servo controller.
For NC joining system operation, three operating modes
are available: Jog mode, move and automatic mode.
The PLC selects the desired program, operating mode and
– if reqired – the position set and starts the movement /
sequence through adequate control signals. Positioning of
the NC joining module is performed by the servo control-
ler. Upon reaching the desired position, a feedback mes-
sage is issued. Depending on the kind of operating mode,
the PLC then triggers new positions by means of new posi-
tion sets or – in the automatic mode – activates the back
stroke.
This enables flexible adjustment to the task at hand. Inter-
mediate stops, manual interference through the operator,
parts exchange etc. are possible.
Each individual position set can be called up by the PLC
via DMF-P A310 Universal Type 4740A... .
In positioning sets with automated record switching – au-
tomated switching triggered by the servo controller, auto-
mated switching from one position set to the next record –
only the first record has to be started. The completion mes-
sage is issued upon reaching the last position.
Control signals and impulse diagrams regarding indi-

vidual operating modes are described in detail in the
Communications Operating Manual (BA Nr. 002-518d,
part 4) single-channel force-displacement measuring
device DMF-P A300 NCF Type 4734A... and DMF-P

Joining/Measurement
The measuring process starts when the joining sequence

begins.
During the measuring process, X and Y signals are meas-
ured and recorded (measuring curve). The start of measur-
ing can be triggered by means of an external signal or in-
ternal condition (X value, waypoint or Y value, force). Us-
ing an assessment window previously defined by the user,
the measuring curve is evaluated and a unique GOOD (IO)
or REJECT (NIO) detection is run.

The PLC either starts position set 1 directly from operating

mode Move or triggers the whole cycle via Start from the
Automatic operating mode. The required speed reduction
at the end of the idle stroke is set by the servo controller
without stops or another triggering event via the PLC. The
sequential record 2 – Joining – is executed. Only when its
target position is reached or if a trigger is initiated , the
servo controller stops the advance and is reported by the
device. Now the PLC can start the back stroke. This is ei-
ther effected by the command to traverse back or by selec-
tion of position set 0 in the Move operating mode to Home
position traverse. The right time is exclusively determined
by the PLC. Therefore, it might be necessary to wait for the
user's confirmation in case parts are defect.

3.2.2 Extended Joining Sequence (Press Parameter Menu: Long)
For complex joining processes or if intermediate stops are

required for material or tool feed an extended press pa-
rameter menu is available with up to 16 position sets per
program. Amongst others, this provides for the free alloca-
tion of record switching modes to create stroke profiles al-
so including intermediate stops and stroke reversal.

The PLC just triggers position set 1. The required speed ad-
justments at the end of the respective target positons are
initiated by the servo controller without stops and further
control by means of the PLC.
The sequential sets 2 to 4 are executed. Only when the
target positon is reached with position set 4, a signal is is-
sued by the device after stopping the drive.
Now, the PLC can start the back stroke. This is either ef-
fected by the command to traverse back or by selection of
position set 0 in the operating mode Move to Home posi-
tion traverse. Again, the right time for this is exclusively de-
termined by the PLC.

In this joining process, a stroke is effected in one direction

and only compressive forces occur. For each displacement
value the maximally occurring force (compressive force) is
recorded, displayed and used for the evaluation.
For this type of measurement forward is selected as meas-

uring direction and compression as force direction in the
parameter menu of the respective set point record.

Here the pairs of values x/y are recorded independently in

In this example only compressive forces are measured,
therefore the maximal force is measured and evaluated for
each waypoint.
In the parameter menu of the respective set point record

forward & backward is selected as measuring direction for
this type of measurement, and compression as direction of
force. The sensitivity of the reverse identification can be set
in the menu reverse identification. It can be defined for the
evaluation windows in which direction of movement the
evaluation should be carried out.
The measuring results are displayed in two separate tables

for forward and backward.

3.5 Measurement with Compressive and Traction Forces

21B
The measurement and recording of compressive- and trac-

tion forces is performed either in two or four quadrants,
depending if the displacement (x) can only accept positive
or positive and negative values. Both measurements are
possible. In the following example a four-quadrant meas-
urement is shown. A joint or damper analysis can be taken
as an example for that.
Force (y)
related force value
forward
Displacement (x)
related force value

backward
For both directions of movement the pairs of value x/y are

recorded independently. In the forward movement com-
pressive forces occur and in the backward movement trac-
tion forces occur.
When compressive and traction forces are recorded simul-

taneously, both the maximum force value (max. value) and
the minimum force value (min. value) are saved at the re-
spective waypoint.
For this type of measurement forward & backward is se-

lected as measuring direction in the parameter menu of the
respective set point record and compression & traction is
selected as force direction. The sensitivity of the reverse
identification can be set in the menu reverse identification.
It can be defined for the evaluation windows for which di-
rection of movement the evaluation should be performed.
The measuring results are displayed in two separate tables

for forward and backward .

3.6 Measurement of Force (y) Over a Range of Time (t) y = f(t)

2B
If no reference to a displacement (x) is required or if oper-

ated with constant advance speed, instead of a measure-
ment y=f(x), the force(y) can be measured as function over
a range of time.
A displacement sensor is like that not necessary. In addi-
tion, this type of measurement can be used to record other
time-dependent curves.
Force (y)
related force value
Time (t)
For the measurement over time the sensor type time is se-

Evaluation of the Measured Values
6. Evaluation of the Measured Values
6.1 Evaluation Methods

28B
For evaluation different tolerance windows are available.

The position referring of the windows can be absolute or
"dynamic". For dynamic windows the displacement coor-
dinates (Smin and Smax ) of the force-displacement windows
are set from the actual reached displacement end-point af-
ter the measurement .
The relative displacement coordinates are programmed
with negative signs (example below: Wn2 and Wn2‘) for
these dynamic windows. In addition the setting dynamic
forward-backward must be made (see Setpoint input chap-
ter 7.1.1). If the displacement coordinates are programmed
with positive sign and the setting absolute is selected, a
"fixed" window will result like in the evaluation method 1
(example below: Fe1 or FeX).
Evaluation Absolute Evaluation Absolute/Dynamic

Example: Smin = 8 mm, Smax = 10 mm Example: Absolute Wn 1: Smin = 2 mm, Smax = 4 mm
Dynamic Wn 2: Smin = –4 mm, Smax = –2 mm
F „kN“ F „kN“
Wn1
WnX Wn2 Wn2‘
Send Send Send‘

S „mm“ S „mm“
Smin Smin Smax Smax
Smax Smax Smin Smin
Dynamic windows are mainly used where there are work

pieces or work piece carriers with tolerances. The use of a
dynamic tolerance window with live-function at the same
time is not possible.
In 4-quadrant measurements the end point on the left-

hand side can also be used as reference. Here the relative
coordinates must be entered positively. The adjustment
for the dynamic must be set backward-forward.

The snap window, peak window at the bottom can be

used to monitor the joining of lock rings or sealing rings
depending on the application. (e.g. extension measure-
ment). The window can be activated for a certain direction
of movement, e.g. only forward or only backward, as well
as both directions at the same time (forward & backward).
It is also possible to parameterize the window trapezoid-
shaped.

With the combined start-end-window, optionally the start-

tion is made in the submenu window definition of the set
value entry. If the selection is made for start window, only
the starting point is monitored. Without selection, only the
ending point is monitored. The window can be activated
for a certain direction of movement, e.g. only forward or
only backward. Different to the window types 11 to 14,
the monitoring is exclusively effected for the starting and
ending point of the trace; for this it is completely negligible
how often the window edge is cut by the curve.
Window type 18 is basically a rectangle window

(not available as trapezoid window).

6.2.26 Window Type 24; Breakpoint Window

68B
The breakpoint window allows a detection of a clear altera-

tion of the gradient dy/dx (of the ascending gradient of
the curve) alongside the distance between Smin and Smax.
Depending on the parameter setting of set points a break-
point or break-recognition can be carried out.
In the case of the breakpoint-recognition, a breakpoint of
the distance between Smin und Smax within the window
borders ymin and ymax is expected, and is required for an OK
evaluation.
With the break-recognition, no breakpoint can be recog-
nized for an OK evaluation, it plays no role with it, whether
the break in the interval between Smin and Smax lies with-
in the window-borders ymin and ymax or above or below
them.
The selection between pure breakpoint – or break-
recognition takes place through the default setting of the
Trigger offset, (see also input in the submenu window-
definition). Trigger offset≠ 0 for pure breakpoint recogni-
tion, trigger offset = 0 for break recognition
The breakpoint is defined through the alteration of ascend-
ing gradient. The alteration of ascending gradient Δgrad is
calculated from the rises in two way sections with the
Δy length Δx before the actual measuring point P
Δx 2
Signs of ∆x
Δy at forward curve:
1 Movement from left to right +, from right to left –
Δx at backward curve:
Movement from left to right +, from right to left –
Δgrad = grad2 – grad1
= Δy2/Δx – Δy1/Δx The breakpoint is defined during the measurement in real
time ("online").
After the recognition of a breakpoint a signal output (one

of the general trigger outputs XTE or XTE) is set in real time
under the following conditions:
Breakpoint control Break control

(Trigger offset ≠ 0) (Trigger offset = 0)
Dimension unit: x (mm, .. ) XTE set after x-Offset YTE set immediately

dow can be activated for a certain moving direction, e.g.
only forward or only backward, as well as for both direc-
tions at the same time (forward & backward). Additionally,
it is also possible to parameterise the window trapezoidal.
The evaluation is done in the same way as on window type

1 (see there, but without live function). In contrast to win-
dow type 1, in the current value-column of the table for
measured values the minimum (for trapezoidal windows
relative minimum) of the abscissa and the y-coordinate are
displayed.
In the statistics, exclusively the analysis of this y-minimum

is effected.

6.2.34 Window Type 32; Energy Window

76B
The energy window is used to evaluate the energy (joining

respectively forming energy or work plus frictional loss),
which is transferred to the work piece via a predetermined
displacement or angle of tilt interval.
This transferred energy respectively rendered work, can be

described as integral joining force via the joining stretch re-
spectively as integral of the turning moment via the angle
of tilt::
W =  F (s) * ds resp. W=  Mt ( ) * d .
In DMF-P A300 NCF Type 4734…, the determined integral

s max
W=  F (s) * ds
s min
is calculated from the points (si, Fi) of the gradient approx-

imately by totals formation:
n
 ( Fi  Fi 1 ) 
W =  
i 1 2
* ( s i  s i 1 )

with the limits s0 = smin and sn = smax.
The window can be activated for a certain moving direc-

tion, e.g. only forward or only backward, as well as for
both directions at the same time (forward & backward)
Window type 32 is not available in V3 mode.

In the table for measured values, the calculated

work/energy is entered as Actual value Max. If this value
under-runs the setpoint value Min or does over-run the
Smin Smax X setpoint value Max, the box Actual value Max will be high-
lighted in black (NOK value)
In the diagram, only the x-limits of the energy window are

displayed. The dimension "energy" cannot be displayed in
the y(x)-diagram, therefore a direct graphical OK/NOK-
estimation is not possible.
The area between the gradient and the x-coordinate (the

abscissa) corresponds to the transferred energy respectively
the work rendered, whereby the areas above the
x-coordinate are counted with positive prefix and areas be-
low with negative prefix – independent of the movement
of direction.

tween the limits of Wmin and Wmax

7. Programming and Parameter Entry
The programming and parameter entry of the device

can be divided in the following sections:
 Input of data for the measurement (measuring pro-

gram or just program)
The measuring program here consists of the set

points (setpoint record) for the tolerance windows
and the assigned measuring parameters, just called
parameters. Additional the parameters for moving
(position sets) of the servo controller are included
here.
 Input of system data
With the system settings the basic settings of the

device such as operating mode, evaluation method,
interfaces, etc. are performed.
 Input of calibration data and calibration
Scaling and adaptation of sensor sizes to the respec-

tive measuring and display range
 Input of parameters for protocol, statistic and docu-

mentation
Specification of protocol functions, storage and sta-

tistic initialization.

Programming and Parameter Entry
7.1 Measuring Program

31B
Maximally 32 programs with numbers from 0 … 31 are

possible.
Before the measurement at least one tolerance window

must be entered in the selected program and activated.
The input can be effected numerically or graphically. For

the graphic editing a measuring curve must be available.
7.1.1 Menu Input of Set Points

80B
Up to 8 tolerance windows per program can be entered.
The tolerance windows 1 … 4 can additionally be evaluat-

ed and monitored "live", i.e. during the measurement, if
parameterised as type 1 (see 6.2.4 ). An offline-evaluation
is performed for all windows.
The tolerance windows do not have to be parameterised

continuously. Windows, which are not parameterised or
activated, are ignored during the evaluation. Overlapping
of any windows is permitted.
Rectangular-force-displacement windows (type 1 … 15)

are always defined with the 4 coordinates xmin, Xmax, Fmin
and Fmax. For force- displacement and speed windows (type
0, 17 … 18) the coordinates which are not used must be
set
on 0.
For trapezoidal windows 6 coordinates are required. The

input is effected in the menu Window definition. Further-
more, the settings for the valid direction of movement and
the reference absolute or dynamic are performed in this
menu.

Description
If 0.00 is default setting for the trigger offset , a pure break control is carried out thought the
breakpoint:
As soon as a breakpoint (in this case with falling gradient) has been diagnosed, regardless if it is
inside or outside the window, the work piece is considered destroyed and the signal output YTE
Trigger offset set in real time. The complete measurement is evaluated NOK.
If the trigger offset is programmed unequal 0.00, a real breakpoint control is carried out.
Contrary to the pure break control a breakpoint must be found and it must lie in the interval
[ymin, ymax] so that the measurement can be evaluated OK.
In the real breakpoint control an online trigger output is set, after a breakpoint has been found,
and after a defined way section (or a rotation angle or after a time interval at time measure-
ment) has been travelled from x-position of the breakpoint or after modification of the y-
quantity (force, torque,..) by a certain amount regarding the y-position of the breakpoint.
Units
The dimension unit of the trigger offset defines whether an x- or a y triggering should take
Trigger offset
place. If the x-dimension unit is selected the trigger offset is an x-section, after it has been
traversed from breakpoint the signal output XTE is set. If however, the
y-dimension unit is set, after a modification of the y-value the signal output YTE is set by the
amount "trigger offset" regarding the breakpoint y-value.

are in restricted direction only evaluated for the selected direction.
If the direction of measurement is set forward or backward, an intern reverse
identification is performed. The values for the other direction are cancelled then.
Therefore a reverse identification for the displacement of 1 % of the measuring
range is automatically started.
If Forw.&Backw. has been set as direction of measurement the sensitivity can be
adjusted in the submenu Reverse identification (operate ).
Direction of force
The direction of force specifies whether the force-maximum (compression),
-minimum (traction) or both values (traction&compression) are recorded and
evaluated during the measurement. If the direction of force is traction
&compression, a band can be created depending on the measuring signal (e.g.
signal noise). The width of this band represents for each X-value the correspond-
ing Min-Y and Max-Y value. At traction&compression please note that in the
window evaluation the spaces from both the min- and max-values to the respec-
tive window edges must be checked.

Speed of movement
The maximum press force can be limited. Notice there is no linear relation between
Force limitation
the nominal press force of the system and the force limitation. The requested max.
force depends on mass and speed and must be determined by successive approxi-
mation. Range of adjust 50 … 100 %.
The configured set point value is valid for all position sets, including acceleration
and brake. If the force limitation is configured too low, it is possible that the energy
is not sufficient to reach the requested nominal speed, or the target position may
be over traveled, because there is insufficient braking energy. For this reason when
the device is put into operation accurate tests must be carried out.
Should force limitation be performed directly from the PLC to the servo controller,
the parameter transmission may be turned off. After appropriate reprogramming
the servo controller can obtain its limit value either as analog signal or directly as
fieldbus parameter. Like that, the PLC can decide whether the active position set
requires more or less power.

7.2.4.2 Transmission Mode, Positioning Sets – serial for DMF-P A300 NCF Type 4734A…
Transfer of position sets from DMF-P A300 NCF Type

4734A… to the servo controller is done by serial interface,
independent from the kind of coupling or PLC.
Position sets
For optimizing the transfer time of position sets, the count
of sets must be defined for each program. For all programs
this defined common limitation is fixed. Therefore the max-
imal count of set must be set of the number of sets which
are necessary.
Transmission: Auto – Extn

The standard transmission of position data to the servo
controller is performed automatically, in a program change
immediately, or in a parameter change before the next
measurement. In the system settings, however, this auto-
matic function may be turned off, so that the transmission
must first be requested by an extern control signal of the
PLC. This might be necessary, if the active controller enable
of the servo controller prevents the data transfer.
The transmission is performed through the serial interface

Standard transmission only of the position sets of the cur-

tered continuously in the positions 0 … 59. Consequently
the position sets for all work pieces are available in the ser-
vo controller, the PLC must only select them. This mode is
recommended for units with frequent type change, to
shorten the cycle time, however 32 programs will not be
available then, The following results:

In the DMF-P A310 Universal Type 4740A… the SSI

card is not equipped by default.The X value is trans-
ferred directly from the servo controller via the field
bus. The setting in bits per unit is not possible in this
case, but rather only the setting of the resolution. If an
SSI card is used to connect to an external displacement
sensor, this restriction does not apply.
Setting Description
Sensor Type SSI factory configured
Measuring Over Kind of measurement over displacement or time
Decimal Places Decimal places, presented for measured values: 1 – 2 – 3
Input of the measuring range

The value may vary from the measuring range of the displacement sen-
sor, however, it must be below or equal to the max. measuring range of
the displacement sensor.

Setting Description
The input of the resolution of the SSI signal can either be effected through
the Bits per unit or through the linear resolution of the transducer. The re-
spective other not relevant input quantity is zeroed and ignored.
Bits per unit indicates the Bits of the SSI signal for the resolution of an X-
Bit per Unit
unit (e.g. 1 mm).
Example: 12 Bit per unit and a 24 Bit SSI-signal (dimension unit should be
alternative
mm) results in a resolution of 1/212mm = 0,244 μm
The value range that should be displayed is ±211mm = ±2 048 mm
resolution
Resolution indicates which change of length equals an increment of the SSI
–signal.
For the DMF-P A310 Universal Type 4740A… only the resolution can be
set. The setting value of the system is 0,100000 μm.

Function Description
Status Status information about the statistic
The status valid is displayed if there have been no modifications effect-

ed at the program data (setpoint records) since the initialisation of the
statistic.
If the program data were changed without deleting the statistic after-
wards, the collected measurements are not based on the same evalua-
tion rules and the statistic is marked invalid.
7.5.7.1 Submenu Histogram

In each window the distribution of min- and max values is
presented graphically as a histogram (bar chart)
Therefore each window is divided in five intervals of the

same size, two classification intervals of the same size are
created additionally above and below the window.
Force-displacement windows:
F [kN]

In the statistic distribution in case of force-displacement

windows only the measurements are collected, in which
both min-value and max value fall in one of the 9 classifi-
cation intervals.
In pure force or displacement windows only the respective

maximum (displacement end or block force) are classified.
In the example above: force-displacement window.

The following is displayed
 the evaluation results of the statistic distribution at:

 FORCE-DISPLACEMENT WINDOWS of maximal and
minimal force value of each measurement in each of
these windows.
 FORCE WINDOWS of the block force regarding each
of these windows (as max-distribution)
 DISPLACEMENT WINDOWS of the DISPLACEMENT-
end regarding each of these windows (as max-
distribution)
 the number n of the arithmetically collected values of
which the arithmetic average value mw and the stand-
ard deviation sa. Measured values outside the window
borders are disregarded (the values are displayed on top
of the histogram of the respective window).
Average value mw and standard deviation sa are calculated

with the following formulas:


mw  · X i (Xi = Messwerte)
n i1


sa  · (X i – mw) 2
n – 1 I1

Manual Control with DMF-P A310 Universal Type 4740A...
8. Manual Control with DMF-P A310 Universal Type 4740A...

With manual control using the DMF-P A310 Universal
Type 4740A… it is possible to move the NC joining module
even without a system PLC.
When this function is called up, the PLC no longer has

access to the NC joining module. The user is responsi-
ble for the movement of the NC joining module and
the interplay between any system processes.
Suitable safety measures, such as two-hand start, pro-

tective grid, etc., must be provided by the manufactur-
er of the machine or system ready to be used and must
implement them in the control circuit according to the
determined risk category. The safety circuit must be
activated during use of the NC joining unit.
EMERGENCY STOP switches must be connected ac-

cording to the safety and switching instructions of the
servo controller.
The valid guidelines, norms, and accident prevention

regulations must be observed.
Non-compliance can lead to serious injury to persons

and damage to property.
The system may not be used in machine areas with a

risk of explosion without ex protection.
When working in the travel area of the tappet, the

main switch for the entire machine must be switched
off to ensure that the power section of the servo con-
troller is switched off.
The safety instructions of the operating instructions

002-518 part 1, Electromechanical NC joining module
