Configuration of the Multiple Transducers

Only available for QST and IxB tools.

Depending on the tool type and the number of transducers, it is possible to set how the torque and angle transducers are used in a tightening. The transducers can be configured to be controlling or monitoring.

Multiple transducers

Parameter

Description

Controlling torque transducer

Set the torque transducer to use for tightening.

Available settings:

  • Auto: For QST tools, Torque is used by default. For IxB tools, Torque 2 is used by default. If Torque 2 is not available for the IxB tool type, Torque is used.

  • Torque

  • Torque 2

Controlling angle transducer

Set the angle transducer to use for tightening.

Available settings:

  • Auto: For QST tools, Motor angle is used by default.

  • Motor angle

  • Angle

  • Angle 2

Monitor and reporting torque

Parameter

Description

Report monitoring torque values

If set, a Final Torque value will be reported from both the controlling and the monitoring transducer, including evaluation of the status for both (OK/High/Low).

Redundancy error reporting torque

Redundancy error is reported if the Final Torque measured on the controlling transducer differ from the value measured on the monitoring transducer.

Lock the tool on redundancy error

Lock the tool if a redundancy error is detected.

Torque transducer misc settings

Parameter

Description

Require dual torque

If set, the connected tool must have dual torque transducers (that are not disabled) to be able to run a tightening.

Monitoring torque in trace

If set, the values from the monitoring torque transducer are included in the trace.

Dual torque restrictions

Parameter

Description

Enable double torque restriction

If set, the double torque transducer restriction is active.

Maximum torque difference

The limit for the double torque difference restriction.

Monitor and reporting angle

Parameter

Description

Report monitoring angle values

If set, a Final Angle value will be reported from both the controlling and the monitoring transducer, including evaluation of the status for both (OK/High/Low).

Redundancy error reporting angle

Redundancy error is reported if the Final Angle measured on the controlling transducer differ from the value measured on the monitoring transducer.

Lock the tool on redundancy error

Lock the tool if a redundancy error is detected.

Angle transducer misc settings

Parameter

Description

Require dual angle

If set, the connected tool must have dual angle transducers (that are not disabled) to be able to run a tightening.

Monitoring angle in trace

If set, the values from the monitoring angle transducer is included in the trace.

Dual angle restrictions

Parameter

Description

Enable double angle restriction

If set, the double angle transducer restriction is active.

Maximum angle difference

The limit for the double angle difference restriction.
