PLC Interface
28.3 PLC Activation
Preconditions:
● PLC interface connected to GAV.
● PLC connected to PLC interface.
● PLC activation active: AUTO►MAN►Menu►GAV Settings►PLC Activation.
Inputs:
Input 1 "Start Cycle" Cycle up to stroke position (process blind rivet).
Input 2 "Return Cycle" Return cycle (load new blind rivet).
Input 3 "Rivet Check, Nosepiece" Sensor for monitoring loading procedure.
Input 3 "Rivet Check, Nosepiece" is used for operating the GAV in a fully automatic blind rivet-
ing system. A suitable sensor (24 VDC N/O contact, e.g. light barrier) must be installed in the
blind riveting system such that a blind rivet loaded in the spreader nosepiece is detected with
the blind riveting system in home position. The sensor signal is evaluated by the GAV controller
during the loading procedure and, if necessary, sent to output 3 as "GAV Fault". This function is
optional and must be activated during setup in
AUTO►MAN►Menu►GAV Settings►PLC Activation
Outputs:
Output 1 "Cycle Ready" GAV in home position, no fault.
Output 2 "Cycle, Stroke Position" Cycle, stroke position reached, spent mandrel evacuated.
Output 3 "GAV Fault" GAV fault.
Output 4 "Cycle Fault" Cycle stopped due to fault.
Relay:
Relay R1 is switched when output 3 "GAV Fault" is 1 (24 V).
