Visualization and Process Analysis For PressControl 600 and 5000 Visualized Display Force output and press stroke are important parameters for evaluating the quality of pressed assemblies. The data of these measurements are recorded during the process and displayed by the software as force / stroke behavior curve F / s, F / t or s / t. Freely definable tolerances the form of force/stroke windows and stroke tolerances are provided for quality assurance of the assembly process. With the help of these criteria, quality critical areas can be monitored selectively. If the tolerances in the monitored curve areas are not met, application-specific interventions can be carried out (e. g. selection measures). It is easy to create tolerance criteria and to display curve behaviors exactly. For an evaluation of the behavior, the working stroke and the return stroke are important. The high resolution of our measurement systems allows a large number of measuring points that are required for a process-safe evaluation.

Software Architecture For PressControl 600 and 5000 The function of the SCHMIDT Presses is based to a large extent on the control architecture. The combination of process entries, PLC, CNC and process data acquisition is the key to solving highly complex joining tasks precisely and efficiently. The force and stroke measuring systems with integrated signal amplification used in all monitoring based press systems by SCHMIDT Technology are evaluated in high resolution by the process data acquisition and transferred as ACTUAL values to the PLC for graphic or numeric output. The excellent control behavior of SCHMIDT PressControl 600 and 5000 is a direct result of the quick, bidirectional communication between PLC, CNC and drive of the servo axis.

Database Software SCHMIDT PRC DataBase For PressControl 600 and 5000 SCHMIDT PRC DataBase is an optional software for the modular control system SCHMIDT PressControl 5000 or SCHMIDT PressControl 600. The database software is used for storing and analyzing the data of the control system - process specifications and process results - particularly under quality assurance aspects. SCHMIDT PRC DataBase differentiates between productive and archive database and is equipped with a data export function. The target systems which are relevant for the data export, e.g. quality management programs for Statistical Process Control or Excel, will be operated via data interface. The exported data will be stored in a format which is compatible with the target application. The choices are the CSV format as well as the Q-DAS format including certification. Then the file will be read and processed by the target application. The automated data export happens time-controlled, periodically. The procedure of this periodical action will be done under control of the Windows task schedule. SCHMIDT PRC DataBase is interesting for customers which have to archive the production data for several years, e.g. for safety relevant parts. Furthermore it can be used to demonstrate the process capability. The data evaluation is done by customer s existing quality management systems. The software can be used for single workstations as well as for multiple workstations, i. e. the front end can be installed and used on several Windows computers. The service will be installed only on one computer. An easy-to-use professional product for data analysis and quality assurance is available for the users now.

SCHMIDT MoveTol Patented Offset of Tolerance, Data Software for PressControl 600 and 5000 Assembled parts are subject to certain manufacturing tolerances. Altitude deviations of the parts result in an offset of the curves in the curve window. The curves of the parts with higher tolerance deviations may then be situated outside of the defined tolerance limits and are classified as failed part. Using the function Offset of tolerance data, the altitude tolerances of parts can be taken into account. The defined tolerance windows and stroke tolerances are offset by the distance of a reference position. After that, the pass / fail evaluation is carried out. Offset of Tolerance Data in Relation to freely selectable Reference SCHMIDT Interface Software / Hardware The communication with co-ordinated control system is realized via a standardized interface program with SCHMIDT Press- Control. All relevant system states as well as failed productions are transferred from one control to another via a simple signal transfer. The production data stored in datasets are recallable via the SPS program. If e. g. tools are equipped with an explicit identification code, the production data automatically adapt themselves to the specific process. All standard physical interfaces, such as I / O interface CANopen EtherNet PROFIBUS PROFINET (via CANopen / PROFINET-Gateway) EtherCAT (via CANopen / EtherCAT-Gateway) USB can be used for signal transfer with the automation environment. 78 SCHMIDT Presses
SCHMIDT PRC OPC Data Exchange via the de facto Automation Standard In the field of automation, the data communication, using co-ordinated systems and the reference level, is becoming increasingly important. OPC defines a manufacturer-independent interface. All parties participating in the communication must only support this interface. The OPC-capable components can be combined just like elements of a construction kit. Example: Process Data Evaluation by means of MS Office Application With OPC, a direct transfer of production-specific data to MS Office applications, such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access, is possible. Example: Process Visualization OPC connects all production machines (with industry PC-based control [IPC]) of a production area to a process visualization. This achieves impressive outcomes: Centralization of fault and operating messages Unique message system for all machines Individual user interface design Example - Linked Production Line The following possibilities result from the central control of a production line: Central operation of the entire production line Integration of all production machines in overall transport systems (lifting bars, conveyors, etc.) Transfer of all relevant data, such as workpiece type, processing state, etc., from one machine to another Production results influence the process of the following machine Measurement results correct tool wear of preceding machines Simply the best! 79
