Event
The event step can be used to interact with the workstation and control the flow of the tightening process.
Input
The input step will wait for the Batch Sequence DI1-12 signal to be in a desired state, set by the Signal flank parameter. Signal flank defines if the input step should react on changes from low to high (positive flank), high to low (negative flank), just being high/low or react to any signal changes (any).
Output
The output step will set a Batch Sequence DO1-8 signal in a desired state, set by the Output signal level parameter.
Output signal level defines if the signal should be set high (one) or low (zero). The output mode defines if the signal should be permanently set to the output signal level or be pulsed (duration). In the case of duration, the time for the pulse must be selected. The max time for the pulse is three seconds, if a longer step is needed it is possible to use two output steps in set mode with a delay step in-between.
Delay
It is possible to delay the sequence for a given time between 0.01 and 30 seconds.
Advanced scan
This step forces the user to scan a barcode or read a RFID-tag. The data can be stored with the tightening result data for traceability.
Configuring this step requires one or more pre-defined identifiers. An identifier is a rule that is used to verify if the scanned string is correct.
This step can house up to four identifiers, this is to manage variations in product serial numbers. For example it can be that the scan will store the serial number of a module in the product. The module can come from two different suppliers and have different serial numbers. Then serial numbers of both types should be accepted as correct.
Simple scan
This step forces the user to scan a barcode or read a RFID-tag. The data can be stored with the tightening result data for traceability.
The information is saved to a custom ID. No validation is made.
Input monitor step
The input monitor step can be used to monitor the level of a digital input during the batch sequence. When triggered, the batch sequence will be aborted and the sequence is restarted.
Bit selector
The bit selector step can be used to force the operator to change bit before continuing.
