Setting up StepSync (hardware)

Note that software configuration needs to be done before hardware set-up is completed in order to avoid possible set-up conflicts.

The StepSync function allows several POWER FOCUS 8 to be connected in order to run synchronized tightenings.

  1. Make sure each controller has been configured correctly (see StepSync Configuration for more information).

  2. Using a PF8 daisy-chain cable, connect the Sync Reference Com Port B to the first Sync Member's Com Port A.

  3. Using another PF8 daisy-chain cable, connect the first Sync Member's Com Port B to the second Sync Member's Com Port A. Do the same for all subsequent controllers.

    A StepSync system can be configured with a maximum of 5 Sync Members.

The controllers need to be interconnected with an Estop cable. See EM Stop Connection Scenarios.
