Pset

The tightening programs in ToolsTalk MT are called Psets. A Pset can consist of different steps. All steps have precise speed control and many options of angle and torque monitoring.

Verification Program

A verification program is a unique type of tightening program that is used to verify the tool when doing torque checks.

Batch sequence

Batch sequence is a way of grouping and adding control over the tightening work flow. A batch sequence can be a list of batches, events or information steps that will be executed by the controller in sequential order. The batch sequence can interact with the operator in terms of screen instructions and with the use of external equipment, for example PLC or scanners.

Batch

A batch is defined as how many times a specific Pset should run.

Event

An event is a way of controlling the surroundings, setting output, waiting for input, monitoring the level of an input, setting a delay or collecting data from scanners.

Information

The information step can be used to inform and guide the operator.

Work selection (Select source)

The system can select work, that is Psets and batch sequences, in four different ways:

Protocol (Tools Talk MT + Atlas Copco Open Protocol)
Digital I/O
Scanner (Barcode/RFID)
Controller
Fieldbus

Result handling

After each tightening and measurement, result data is generated and stored on the controller memory. Up to 100.000 results and 1000 graphs can be stored on the tightening controller, and up to 10 000 results and graphs can be stored on the measurement controller.
When the maximum number of results have been reached the newest result will overwrite the oldest result.

It is possible to collect serial numbers and production data via scanners and storing it with the results for increased traceability and continuous improvement.

The result can be exported from the controller over the communication network (Ethernet or USB) or by manual extraction with a USB flash drive.

For increased traceability and production monitoring, the MTF 6000 can connect to ToolsNet 8.

User interface

The figure below shows the main window when connected to a controller. The icons can vary depending on different IAMs connected.

Example, three-step tightening strategy

Finding the thread.
Run down until the screw head touches the work piece.
Clamping the joint.

In this Section

Step 1: Finding the thread

First use the thread engagement step to find the thread.

B - Slow speed, 100-150 rpm.

C - Transition to next step on raised torque when the screw enters the thread

Step 2: Run down

Use the angle step to run down the screw.

B - High speed

C - Transition to next step on angle, corresponding to the thread length before the screw head touches the work piece

D - Torque window to supervise the run down and alert on faults, e.g. damaged thread

It is important that the angle step stops before the screw head touches the work piece, if not it can lead to unwanted overshoots since the tool might not be able to break in time.

Step 3: Clamping the joint

Use the torque step to clamp the joint.

B - The speed the tool has been configured with

C - The joint is finished when the target torque is reached

D - Angle window from torque level to supervise the clamping and alert on faults, e.g. broken work piece or missing washer

Key tightening definitions

The screw is run down until the screw head touches the work piece at the seating point (A). The screw is then tightened until the final torque (C) is reached, this is often also the peak torque (B), but in some cases the final torque is lower.
The clamp angle (D) and clamp torque (E) is measured between the seating point and the peak torque.

Seating control step

This step is specialized for joints with increased rundown friction, such as thread cutting, thread forming screws or joints with sideloads from misaligned parts.

In this type of applications it is common with variations from joint to joint. The main goal of this step is to eliminate floating screws and apply the same clamp torque or clamp angle to all joints even though the joints vary. The step monitors the gradient of the clamp torque over clamp angle and can detect when the screw is seated, that is when the screw head is in contact with the joint surface. From the seating point, the configured torque or angle is applied. The total torque or angle may differ from tightening to tightening but the same amount of clamp torque is used to compress the joint.

The method works as follows:

A torque level, the gradient trigger point, is set for detection of the point where the screw head is touching the work piece.
When the torque gradient exceeds the gradient trigger point, the seating point is detected. The torque gradient can be displayed in the tightening graph in the analysis window.

From this point, where the torque curve starts rising, the Seating point is calculated. This is done by calculating the mean torque from the gradient trigger point and looking back the amount of degrees from seating angle displacement.

This step type allows lower target torque and higher speeds than what the tool is calibrated for. This means that you may sometimes not get the desired results. If this happens, try to change the speed in order to get a more desired clamp value.

Parameter	Description
Speed	The tool speed is programmable within the valid range.
Final tightening method	Decides if the tightening should use clamp torque or clamp angle.

Gradient trigger point (H)	The torque level when the tool detects that the screw head has touched the work piece. This is the end point of the Seating angle displacement.

Friction Control Step

The friction control step is a smarter version of the angle step that can measure the average torque (friction) during the rundown phase. The step is finished when the target friction control angle is reached. The step will fail if the average torque is not within the average torque limits. Tightening will still be aborted if torque goes above/below the max/min torque limits.

A	Max. torque
B	Max. average torque
C	Average torque
D	Min. average torque
E	Min. torque

Parameter	Description
Speed	The tool speed is programmable within the valid range.

B	Resume tightening
C	Signal high
D	Signal low

Parameter	Description

Signal level	High – Signal goes high Low – Signal goes low
Signal duration	Decides how long the output will be active.

Smart Engagement Step

Smart engagement is used to facilitate screw engagement, normally at low RPM (100-150 rpm). Smart engagement first reaches an engagement torque and then has to stay below Max. torque and over the engagement torque during a set validation angle. By monitoring the torque during the validation angle and the tightening step angle, the step can instantly detect tilted and missing screws.
When reaching the set engagement torque a possible engagement is triggered. After reaching the engagement torque the controller will monitor the torque for a set validation angle to make sure that the screw is correctly engaged. If the tightening reaches max. torque or max. angle a retry action is triggered. A retry action can either consists of a retry or an abort. The user can define how the tightening should act according to the different errors. If the retry action is triggered due to max. torque it is most likely caused by a tilted screw and therefor retry is advised as a retry action.
If the retry action is triggered due to max. angle it is likely that the error was triggered by a missing screw and therefor abort is advised as a retry action.

Smart Torque Seating Monitoring (Smart TSM)

The smart torque seating monitoring step is a smarter version of the torque step, with a brand-new seating detection algorithm. The smart TSM will tighten the screw to a desired target torque and will also monitor if the screw has found seating or not. If not, it will report a NOK Seating was not detected if the screw is floating. The controller needs to know an estimated clamp torque and clamp angle to calculate the seating detection. A detected seating point can be rejected if the torque gradient falls too low during the tightening. It will then be regarded as a false seating point and will continue to search for another seating point.

This step is specialized for joints with increased rundown friction, such as thread cutting, thread forming screws or joints with sideloads from misaligned parts. In these types of applications, it is common with variations from joint to joint. The main goal of this step is to eliminate floating screws and apply the same clamp torque or clamp angle to all joints even though the joints deviate. The step monitors the gradient of the clamp torque over clamp angle and can detect when the screw is seated, that is when the screw head is in contact with the joint surface. From the seating point, the configured clamp torque or clamp angle is applied. The total torque or angle may differ from tightening to tightening but the same amount of clamp torque, or clamp angle, is used to compress the joint. The clamp torque and clamp angle are set to tell the controller what it should expect after detecting a seating. (The seating detection is calculated based on these values.) A detected seating point can be rejected if the torque gradient falls too low during the tightening. It will then be regarded as a false seating point and will continue to search for another seating point.

Screw pickup

Screw pickup helps the operator to pick up a screw before starting the tightening. The first start signal will trigger the screw pickup function and the second start signal will trigger the tightening. Meaning that the start signal must be pressed/triggered twice to activate the tightening procedure.

Tightening procedure when Screw pickup is enabled:

Activate start signal to pick up screw.
Place the screw in the correct position.
Activate the start signal again to trigger the tightening.

Parameter	Description
Not aligned limit	Vacuum level required to acknowledge that a screw has been picked up.
Aligned limit	Vacuum level required to acknowledge that the screw is aligned.
Screw pickup	Indicates if the function is enabled.

Screw pickup can be used both for handheld and automatic operations. The parameters Not aligned limit and Aligned limit requires the use of Vacuum Pump MT, which is only compatible with a controller with MTF6000 revision C or later.

If screw pickup is enabled, the following parameters can be configured:

Parameter	Description
Vacuum pump	Starts vacuum pump upon activating screw pickup function
Rotate bit on pickup	Bit rotates slowly CCW to help attach the bit to the screw.
Timeout	Timeout is used to set an interval how long the pickup should take. If the time is exceeded the controller will leave the busy state and go back to idle.

Batch sequence

This function provides the possibility to control a sequence of screw joints with different tightening strategies related to the assembly of one workpiece.

In this Section

Batch

To set-up a batch a pre-defined Pset and a batch size is needed, that is the number of tightenings to be performed.

It is possible to define a repair Pset and a repair limit. If a tightening fails, the repair limit is incremented. If the repair attempts exceed the repair counter the whole batch sequence is failed.

It is possible to set two timeout values, from start and from tightening. If a batch takes longer time than the set value, the batch is failed and aborted.

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.

Input monitor

The input monitor step can be used to monitor the level of a digital input during the batch sequence. When enabling an input monitor it will be active until end of the batch sequence or until it is disabled.
If the monitor error is triggered, it will activate a batch sequence error and the sequence will be aborted.

Parameter	Description
Monitor mode	Enable or disables the input monitor. If enabled the input monitor will be active until the end of the batch sequence or until disabled. An input monitor is bound to a specific pin. It is possible to have multiple input monitors for different pins running at the same time.
Input signal	Select the batch sequence input signal that should be monitored. The input signal must be assigned to an actual input in the I/O configuration. The signals in the drop down list are the same as in the input event type, that is DI1-12.
Trigger error on	If the signal assumed the error trigger state, high or low, the batch sequence will be aborted and a batch sequence error will be active.

Bit selector

The bit selector step will force the user to pick up a specific bit in order to complete the step.

Digital I/O bit selector

Digital input function "Select bit 0-3" must be linked in order to detect if a bit is selected. The bit selector event will always set digital output function "Unlock bit 0-3" to identify which bit that should be selected to an external device.

"Unlock bit" and "Select bit" are both calculated binary.

Select Bit 0 weight = 1

Select Bit 1 weight = 2

Select Bit 2 weight = 4

Select Bit 3 weight = 8

Example: If Event is set to take Bit #7 then Select Bit 0, 1 and 2 should be high in order to complete the event step. (1 + 2 + 4 = 7)

Accessory Bus bit selector

The Accessory Bus uses its own protocol and has nothing to do with the digital I/Os. There is no need to link any "Select bit" to make the accessory bus bit selector work.

Example: If event is set to take Bit#7 then the selector indicator LEDs will show which bit to pick, which is the bit located at position number 7.

Parameter	Description
Requested Bit	Select which bit the operator shall pick in order to continue on with the step. It is possible to select up to 8 different bits. (These bits are independent of the settings in configuration and will not execute any other command if picked.)
Identifier source	Select from which source the signal shall come from Digital I/O or Accessory Bus.

Information parameters

Parameter	Description
Information text	User defined text to be displayed on screen during the information step.
Information transition mode	This parameter defines how the information step is finished. It can transition to the next step after a given time or after a press of the OK button.
Information transition time	If transition mode is selected, a time can be entered.
Buzzer frequency	The frequency of the buzzer.
Buzzer duration	The duration of the buzzer - set to zero if no buffer wanted.

Identifiers

Identifiers are used to both store valuable information, such as operator ID and serial numbers in each result and also to select the next task for the controller.

Identification strings can be inserted into the controller either via Open protocol, Fieldbus or a Scanner.

The inserted/scanned value is validated according to the predefined identifiers and if the controller finds a match it will perform the action of that identifier.

There are several different ways of using inserted/scanned data:

Traceability and production monitoring (Operator ID, Store in Custom ID and Save ID)
Work control (Select Pset, Verification program and Batch sequence)
User access control (Login).

To configure how inserted/scanned values are used, the user needs to setup identifier rules. These rules first tries to validate an incoming identification string (scanner input). If the identification string is validated by the rule, it will issue an action to the system.

In this Section

Scanner

A scanner can be connected to a USB or a serial port on the controller.

The USB-scanners must have:

USB HID interface (Keyboard)
English-US keyboard interface

MTF6000 offers the possibility of connecting scanners via USB HID (as keyboard) and RS232. It is possible to use any type of scanner that uses any of these interfaces. The system will accept text strings of up to 512 characters.

Creating station barcode

For traceability between the tightening and measuring controller it is possible to generate a station barcode containing information regarding tool, torque, controller ID, and so on. This station barcode is automatically generated inside the MTF6000 if a verification program is selected and shown on the controller display. If the controller is out of range for the quality operator it is possible to manually generate a station barcode in ToolsTalk MT that can be printed and placed next to the station so the barcode can be scanned by the IAM QA controller. The values in the station barcode is stored together with the measurement result to gain traceability between the tightening and measurement result.

In the identifier list view, click Barcode to create a station barcode. Since the station barcode is entered manually in ToolsTalk MT, it is possible to enter any values, which means that the tightening can be made with a non MTF6000 controller and the IAM QA controller will store the information regardless.

Adding an identifier

To add a identifier perform the following steps:

Click the Identifier icon in the Menu bar. The workspace area shows a list of all the current identifiers.
Click the Add button. The Create window opens.
Enter identifier number and name.
Click the OK button.

A new identifier is added at the place of select number and the list is updated.

Deleting an identifier

To delete a identifier, perform the following step:

For each identifier to be deleted, mark the check box in the left most column in the workspace area.
Click the DELETE button.
Confirm the deletion in The Confirm window.

The selected identifier(s) are removed and the list is updated.

Copy identifier

To copy an identifier, perform the following steps:

Right-click on the identifier you want to copy.
Select Copy.
Right-click on the identifier you want to copy to.
Select Paste.
To confirm, press the Yes button in the Confirm window.

General settings

Parameter

Description

Name

Name of the identifier.

Identification string

The set string.

The Enter/Scan button can be used to manually enter a barcode.

Validation

The validation settings are used to verify if the rule applies to the incoming identification string. If the rule applies, the controller will execute the actions attached to the rule.

It is possible to select anything from 1 to 64 characters in the string to match against a given text.

Example:
Match part-> 1-3, 9-10
Match string->SNPDL
String 1-> SNP12345DL -> Match (bit 1-3 is SNP and bit 9-10 is DL)
String 2-> SNPDL1234 -> No match (bit 1-3 SNP but bit 9-10 is 34)

For firmware version 1.15.0 and later it is possible to add an Accept anything validation. Set the Length to 0 and leave the Match Part and Match Text empty. Do not create more than one accept anything validation on the same controller.

Parameter	Description
Identification string length	Length of identification string. Set automatically when the Enter/scan button and then the OK button is clicked.
Match part	Positions in the indentification string. The selection is done in a separate window.
Match string	Characters that will match the string according to the match part.

Configuration

In all identifier actions except login it is possible to save up to 100 characters in each custom ID. This string will then be attached to the result data from the tightening.

There are four custom ID slots that the user can fill with text. Each custom ID has two fields, key and format. The key value is a static text that can be entered when configuring the identifier. The value field will be filled when the scan happens. The value format setting decides what data is entered into the field, it will define the number and order of bits to select.

Analysis

Analysis is used for viewing graphs. It is possible to analyze stored graphs on the controller or PC. It is also possible to view a real time trace while the tightening/measurement is ongoing. This is however only available if the controller is connected via USB.

The sample rate and number of sample points for each stored graph varies depending on the tightening duration.
Sample rate * Duration = Sample points

Data sample rate (Hz)	Max Duration
7500	0.133333333
3750	0.266666667
1875	0.533333333
937.5	1.066666667
468.75	2.133333333

For example, if a tightening takes 0.52 seconds, the sample rate is 1875 Hz. This results in 1875 * 0.52 = 975 sample points.

Password

This is a licensed feature. Not available on IAM QA.

The flexible password system makes it possible to completely tailor what the operator have access to. Technicians and line managers have the option to gain access to the system via password or by login in via scanner, for example barcode or RFID.

If no password has been configured, the No password configuration will have full access to all functions.
If the password configuration is removed from the IAM MT the controller will generate a new password file where all levels will be fully restricted.

There are different ways to log in and out of the controller:

Enter a PIN code to log in when a padlock symbol is displayed.
Scan a barcode or rfid tag. One scan of the tag to login, scan one more time to log out.
Pushing the OK button.

PIN code

When a function is restricted it will show a pad-lock symbol. Enter the PIN code to unlock the function.

Scanner login

To login in with a barcode or rfid-tag an identifier rule needs to be set-up. This identifier rule has an action that can be set to login, then the level of access is entered.
One scan of the code will login, scan again and the password level will be logged out.

Fieldbus

This function provides the possibility to control the controller from an external source, such as a PLC, together with the Fieldbus Carrier MT.

Fieldbus Carrier MT only works if the Anybus module inside is supported. Only modules coded with an Atlas Copco unique Provider ID are supported, these can only be purchased from Atlas Copco, if the module is purchased from Atlas Copco then it has correct Provider ID. Currently only the following modules are supported:

Anybus M40 PROFINET module 8432085320 (firmware v1.40.01) since MTF6000 firmware 1.12
Anybus M40 EtherCAT module 8432085310 (firmware v2.15.1) since MTF6000 firmware 1.16
Anybus M40 EtherNet/IP module 8432085330 (firmware v1.43.2) since MTF6000 firmware 1.16

Fieldbus Carrier MT is connected to the MTF6000 controller via the fieldbus cable, and to the PLC via an Ethernet cable from the fieldbus module.

Common Fieldbus Carrier MT codes for NS LED on the Anybus PROFINET module:

Off = Offline
Green = Online (RUN)
Red, 1 flash = Station name error
Red, 2 flash = IP Address error
Red, 3 flash = Configuration error

Common Fieldbus Carrier MT codes for the ERR LED on the Anybus EtherCAT module:

Off = No error
Red, Blinking = Invalid configuration
Red, 1 flash = Unsolicited state change
Red, 2 flash = Sync Manager watchdog timeout

Common Fieldbus Carrier MT codes for the MS LED on the Anybus module EtherNet/IP:

Off = No power
Green = Controller by a Scanner in Run state and, if CIP Sync is enabled, time is synchronized to a Grandmaster clock
Green, flashing = Not configured, Scanner in idle state, or, if CIP Sync is enabled, time is synchronized Grandmaster clock
Red = Major fault (EXCEPTION - state, FATAL error etc.)
Red, flashing = Recoverable fault(s). Module is configured, but stored parameters differ from currently used parameters.

Double click a parameter to open the configuration. Or select the check box for the item and then select OPEN.

Deleting parameter configuration

Select the check box for the item.

To select multi items, press Ctrl on your keyboard and select.
Select DELETE or press Delete on your keyboard.

Moving parameters

It is possible to move parameters by using drag-and-drop in the fieldbus map. The place where the parameter is dropped to indicates the starting position of the parameter.

If a parameter is 1 (or more) bytes then regardless of in which bit position the parameter is dropped it will adjust the starting position to bit 0.

If parameters are overlapped, the parameters will be marked red in both tables.

If an error in the parameter list happened, that error must be solved before being able to save. It is not possible to generate more errors if an error already is in place. That conflict must first be solved.

See Fieldbus Parameter Specification in References for detailed description of available parameters.

PLC configuration (PROFINET)

The module configuration in PLC must match the MTF6000 parameter configuration. Consider the following if the module configuration is done manually in PLC:

All To controller parameters (Output on PLC) must be configured before any From controller parameters (Input on PLC).
Any byte consisting of single bit parameter(s) (Length = 1) must be configured with Generic data module on the PLC. Single bit modules are not supported by the PROFINET protocol whereas the user must keep track of the content of any Generic data modules. Preferable use modules consisting of bit parameter groups (for example, IF 1 – IF 8) instead of single bit parameters (all single bit parameters exists also in a group parameter).
Any byte(s) that are empty in MTF6000 configuration must have Empty data module(s) in the PLC configuration. There are Empty data modules consisting of 1/2/4/8/16/32/64/128 bytes, fill the empty space with modules with as many bytes as possible first and then in decreasing size until the empty space is filled with Empty data modules. Avoid having any empty spaces within the configuration if not needed since it will decrease performance.

Network settings

The network settings can be configured differently depending on which Fieldbus type that is in use, there will be a button in the top right corner if any configuration is available.

- Forced - used to manipulate and send a specific value to the PLC.
- Monitor - is displaying live what the parameter contains.
To deactivate diagnostics mode press the button again (now called Diagnostic mode disabled).

In the List table each parameter will gain a new tab called Diagnostics. This column will display the value of the parameter. Parameters can be displayed as text or as a signal. Signals are displayed as radio buttons. If the radio button is marked that means that the signal is high, if not then the signal is low.

In forced mode the signals will have two radio buttons. On and Off, On means that the signal is high and Off means that the signal is low.

Monitoring mode

Select the Monitor radio button.
View all parameters in the Diagnostic column.
Press the black triangle in the Diagnostics column to expand combined parameters and display the signal of each bit.

Forced mode

Select the Force radio button (Only available when sending data from Controller).

Troubleshooting

In this Section

Incorrect trigger on damaged thread error

Cause: Non-continuous self-threading joints might trigger false damaged thread errors due to decreasing torque after the self-threading phase has finished and until the screw head reaches the joint.

Solution: The damaged thread algorithm will not work correctly for these types of joints. We therefore recommend you to set the Damaged thread detection parameter to Disabled.

Incorrect trigger on Rehit

Cause: Rehit is triggered when the controller detects that the screw already has some torque when the tightening begins.

If the screw is inserted to the joint with a lot of side load then the rehit algorithm may falsely trigger the rehit error since the torque will be much higher at startup.

Solution: Try to stabilize the tool and avoid side loads. If the side loads however are necessary then we recommend you to set the Tool rehit enabled parameter to No.

Incorrect seating point

Cause: Incorrect seating point is usually caused by incorrect setup.

Seating can falsely trigger at the beginning of a tightening when the tool goes rapidly from zero to start building some torque, this will make the gradient spike and thus incorrectly trigger a seating detection.
Incorrect seating displacement and gradient trigger can make the seating point appear out of place.
Low speed may cause the gradient torque to be unreadable. (Just like riding a bicycle, the slower you pedal the more you will sway, increasing the speed a little will create a straighter path.)

Solution:

If seating is triggered at the beginning of the tightening you must first add an angle or thread engagement step of 100° prior to the TSM or SCS step to get past the gradient spike at the beginning.

If seating is just off mark then the setup might be incorrect. This is how to properly setup the strategy:

Create a two-step tightening:
- Step 1: Angle (or thread engagement) step of 100°.
- Step 2: TSM/SCS.
Set the desired target and run a tightening.
Open the tightening graph in analysis.
Check the gradient trigger point. The trigger point should be triggered about halfway through the clamping torque. This limit is based on the Torque gradient. If the trigger point is not OK, increase/decrease it to match the tightening. Redo tightening until the gradient trigger point is OK.
Change the seating angle displacement:
- If the seating point is triggered Before the correct seating point, the seating angle displacement parameter should be decreased.
- If the seating point is triggered After the correct seating point, the seating angle displacement parameter should be increased.
In the example above, the seating was triggered before the correct seating point. Therefore, the seating angle displacement should be decreased.
Redo tightening and tweak the seating angle displacement until it is set at the correct seating point.

If seating is still triggered at the beginning of the step, even if an angle/thread engagement step of 100° comes before it, the speed might be too low. If the gradient is incorrect, increase the speed and try again.

Graph gets a dip and loses torque in the middle of the tightening.

Cause: This is caused by the fact that the angle step, prior to the torque step, is starting to tighten the screw. The “dip” happens when the tool goes from a very high speed to a lower speed while building torque.

Solution: The angle step used as rundown should always end before the screw finds seating.

To avoid this type of tightenings make sure to lower the target angle so it doesn’t exceeds the seating point.

This tightening is the same as above except that the angle step has a lower target angle and stops before the screw finds seating. Now the dip is gone.

Cannot connect to ToolsNet 8

Cause: There can be a number of different reasons as to why the MTF6000 controller doesn’t connect to ToolsNet 8 but the most common is an incorrect setup of the network settings.

Solution:

Check that the ToolsNet IP address is the same as the ToolsNet 8 server IP address.
Check that the Controller IP address is not the same as the ToolsNet IP address.
Check that the Controller IP address is unique.
Check that the Subnet mask is correct.
Check that the Gateway IP address is correct.
Check that the ToolsNet port is correct. ToolsNet 8 is using port 6700 as default for MTF6000.
Check that the controller and ToolsNet 8 server is on the same network.

To test this:

Open the command prompt (press windows start -> enter “cmd”).
Write “ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the controller IP address).
Check for the response.
Write “ping yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy” (where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the ToolsNet server IP address).
Check for the response.

The following response shows an example of successful access:

If both the controller and the ToolsNet server can be accessed, the issue is not in the network settings but rather in the services of ToolsNet 8.

The following services must be running for ToolsNet 8 to be able to communicate with the MTF6000:

License server
Data collection service
Protocol interface module
Internet information services
Data communication services

This response is shown if the controller cannot be accessed:

If the controller cannot be accessed it is an issue in the network setup.

Check again that the controller is connected to the same network as the ToolsNet 8 server and that the IP, mask and gateway are correct.

Tightening error codes

Tightening error	Description
Trigger lost	Tool trigger released before tightening was done.
Bit slip detected	The bit slipped out of the screw. It is recommended to replace the bit if this occurs often. (Can be enabled/disabled per Pset). Please note that this should not be turned off in Seating control steps because it may cause erroneous(false) seating triggers.
Damaged thread detected	The thread has been damaged and the screw cannot build up any more torque.
Re-hit detected	A screw was re-tightened. This can be enabled/disabled per Pset.
Seating was not detected	No seating point was detected.
Total time exceeded	The global maximum time limit for the tightening was exceed.
Global time not reached	The global minimum time limit for the tightening was not reached.
Time exceeded	The Pset step maximum time limit for the tightening was exceed.
Time not reached	The Pset step minimum time limit for the tightening was not reached.
Torque high	The Pset maximum torque limit was exceeded.
Torque low	The Pset minimum torque limit was not reached.
Angle high	The Pset maximum angle limit was exceeded.
Angle low	The Pset minimum angle limit was not reached.
Total angle high	The global maximum angle limit for the Pset was exceed.
Total angle low	The global minimum angle limit for the Pset was not reached.
Tightening angle high	The torque step maximum tightening angle was exceeded. The tightening angle is the angle from the angle trigger torque to the target torque.
Tightening angle low	The torque step minimum tightening angle was not reached. The tightening angle is the angle from the angle trigger torque to the target torque.
Seating angle high	The maximum clamp angle was exceeded. This can only happen in a Seating control step or a Torque seating monitoring step. The clamp angle is the angle from seating to finished tightening.
Seating angle low	The minimum clamp angle was not reached. This can only happen in a Seating control step or a Torque seating monitoring step. The clamp angle is the angle from seating to finished tightening.
Seating torque high	The maximum clamp torque was not reached. This can only happen in a Seating control step or a Torque seating monitoring step. The clamp torque is the torque from seating to finished tightening.
Seating torque low	The minimum clamp torque was not reached. This can only happen in a Seating control step or a Torque seating monitoring step. The clamp torque is the torque from seating to finished tightening.
Clamp angle low	Clamp angle is above upper limit.
Clamp angle high	Clamp angle is below lower limit.
Clamp torque high	Clamp torque is above upper limit.
Clamp torque low	Clamp torque is below lower limit.
Rescinding torque error	Torque dropped below rescinding torque limit during tightening

Quick network guide

What is IP address

IP address is a unique identifier for each device on the network, two different devices cannot have the exact same IP address. The IP address combined with the subnet mask decides which devices that can communicate with each other.

How does Subnet mask work

Subnet mask is the identifier used to tell each device who they can communicate with on the network. The following table shows where everything is marked to visually display which devices that can communicate to each other depending on the subnet mask.

Question: With subnet mask 255, which controllers can communicate with each other?

Answer: With subnet mask 255, all bits must have the same value. That means that IP 1 and 5, IP 3 and 6 can communicate with each other.

Question: With subnet mask 80, which controllers can communicate with each other?

Answer: With subnet mask 80, bit 7 and 5 must have the same value. That means that IP 1, 3, 5 and 6 can communicate with each other.

Question: With subnet mask 1, which controllers can communicate with each other?

Answer: With subnet mask 1, bit 1 must have the same value. That means that IP 1, 3, 5 and 6, IP 2 and 4 can communicate with each other.

Question: With subnet mask 0, which controllers can communicate with each other?

Answer: With subnet mask 0, 0 bits must have the same value. That means that all IP addresses can communicate with each other.

Correct settings

Here are some examples on the correct ways to setup the MTF6000 and ToolsNet server communication.

Each IP address is built of 4 parts, all containing 8 bits and must match the corresponding subnet mask. The easiest and most common setup is to have the three first parts exactly the same with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. This means that the last part can be any number between 0-255.

Part	Subnet mask	IP address	Gateway	ToolsNet	Match
1	255	192	192	192	Full Match
2	255	168	168	168	Full Match
