Digital I/O

Input signals to the controller.

Parameter

Description

I/O select mode

Defines if I/O select pins should activate a Pset, Batch sequence or bit selector configuration.
To enable, the source must be set to Digital I/O.
Select source in Controller settings menu > Configuration > Startup > Select source.

Digital in

Input signals to the controller.

Parameter

Description

Disabled

The signal is disabled.

Start tightening

Starts a tightening, will start on a positive flank (transition 0->1).

Start tightening (hold)

Starts a tightening, will start on a positive flank (transition 0->1). If the signal is brought low during the tightening, it will be canceled.

Start loosening

Starts a loosening, will start on a positive flank (transition 0->1).

Start loosening (hold)

Starts a loosening, will start on a positive flank (transition 0->1). If the signal is brought low during the loosening, it will be canceled.

Stop operation

Stops any ongoing tightening/loosening.

Reset

This signal will stop any ongoing tightening. If no tightening is active it will clear the screen from the previous tightening data.

Disable tool

Set the tool in disabled mode, no new tightening or loosening can be started.

Initialize tool

Makes the tool run the initial self-calibration. Will amongst other things measure the internal friction.

Clear event

Will clear a non-blocking controller event. This is the same as acknowledging an error/event by pressing the OK button on the controller.

Clear all events

Clear all active (non-blocking) controller events.

Select bit 0-9

Used to select a Pset, batch sequence or bit selector configuration, if select source is set to digital I/O.

Reset Batch sequence

Restart a batch sequence.

Increment Batch

Skip one tightening in a batch.

Decrement Batch

Redo one tightening in a batch.

Reset Batch

Restart a batch.

Batch sequence DI1-12

Batch sequence input signals. These signals will control the batch sequence input events.

Standby

Set controller in standby mode to reduce energy consumption

Reboot

Reboot the controller software.

Increment Batch sequence

Skip one step in a batch sequence.

Enable vacuum

Enable vacuum pump

Enable clean

Revers airflow to clean tube
Only available with Vacuum pump MT (8432 0854 00) and a controller with MTF6000 revision C or later.

Wake up

Wake up controller from standby mode

Tool guiding light

Turn LED for guiding light on

Tool status red

Turn LED red on

Tool status green

Turn LED green on

Tool status blue

Turn LED blue on

Tool status white

Turn LED white on

External monitored 1-8

Used to manipulate an input without connecting it to a specific function. (Usable for external protocols, such as Open protocol.)

Start measurement

(Licenced feature)
Starts a measurement on positive flank. Measurement will not be aborted if signal goes low.

Stop measurement

(Licenced feature)
Stops a measurement on positive flank.

Start measurement hold

(Licenced feature)
Starts a measurement on positive flank. Measurement will be aborted if signal goes low.

Set transducer zero

(Licenced feature)
Zero offset the transducer.

Reset verification

Reset the verification.

Digital out

Output signals from the controller.

Parameter

Description

Disabled

The signal is disabled.

Ready

The controller is ready to commence tightening.

Busy

The output is active when the tool is running, either by a tightening or a loosening process.

Error

An error is active.

Tightening OK

The tightening program was completed successfully. The signal is inactive as long as the sequence is in process.

Tightening NOK

The tightening program was not completed successfully. The signal is inactive as long as the sequence is in process.

Batch complete

The batch step was completed.

Active event

An event is active.

Blocking event

An event is preventing operation until resolved.

Clearable event

Set if an event is acknowledgeable.

Initializing tool

Indicates that the initial tool self-calibration is ongoing.

Tool disabled

Indicates if the tool is disabled.

Vacuum pump

Indicates if the vacuum pump is active.

Start signal

The output is active, as long as the start lever on the tool is pressed.

Loosening signal

The output is active, as long as the reverse lever on the tool is pressed.

Push to start signal

The output is active, as long as the tool bit switch is pressed.

Batch sequence DO1-8

Batch sequence output signal. These signals will be controller by batch sequence output events.

Batch sequence complete

A batch sequence has finished successfully.

Batch sequence error

Indicates if a batch sequence error was triggered.

Batch error

Batch failed and was aborted

Standby active

Controller is in standby mode

Screw not aligned

Screw not aligned limit has been exceeded. Screw is picked up but not aligned with the bit.

Screw aligned

Screw aligned limit has been exceeded. Screw is aligned with the bit.

External monitored 1-10

Used to manipulate an output without connecting it to a specific function. (Usable for external protocols, such as Open protocol.)

Vacuum clean

Vacuum clean function is active

Vacuum pump connected

Checks if Vacuum Pump MT (8432 0854 00) is connected. MTF6000 must have revision C or later version for this signal to operate.
Vacuum Pump VPX6 does not trigger this signal regardless of MTF6000 HW revision.

Measurement OK

(Licenced feature)
Goes high if the measurement was successful.

Measurement NOK

(Licenced feature)
Goes high if the measurement failed.

Verification complete

Signal goes high if the verification is completed.

Verification active

Signal goes high if a verification is active.

Service required

Tool or transducer is ready for service.

Battery connected

Battery is connected to the controller.

Battery low

Unlock bit 0-3

Indicates which bit to select in the Batch Sequence event step Bit selector. (Calculated binary)

Torque Check Required

Indicates when a torque check is required.

Rotating CW

Signal goes high when the tool is rotating clockwise (tightening).

Rotating CCW

Signal goes high when the tool is rotating counterclockwise (loosening).

Output signal mode

  • Tracking - reacts on changes.

  • Until next tightening - will be active until the next tightening is started.

  • Duration - will be active for a set amount of time.
