Settings for a Multistep Program
General Settings
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Name | A user defined name for the multistep program. |
Thread Direction | Direction of the threads, either clockwise (CW) or counter clockwise (CCW). |
Loosening Program | Indicate if a loosening program is available. Choose from the list of available loosening programs in the controller. |
Type | Type of program, either Tightening or Loosening. |
Program Start | Gives the torque level for generating a result. If left blank, the result is generated every time the tool is started; otherwise result is only generated from the set torque level. |
Program End Torque | Gives the torque value that stops a multistep tightening. |
Program End Timeout | Gives the time value (in seconds) that stops a multistep tightening. |
True Angle Compensation | Turns True Angle Compensation on or off (default is Off). |
Attachment Tuning
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Use attachment tuning | Select whether attachment tuning should be on or off. |
Gear ratio | The gear ratio value can be between 0.5 and 4.0. |
Efficiency tuning | The efficiency tuning value can be between 0.5 and 1.0. |
Program Monitor
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Enabled | Turn angle monitoring On or Off for the entire program. If Active in steps and Trigger Torque are left blank, angle monitoring will start at program start. |
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps this monitor is valid for:
|
Type | Type of angle monitoring. Choose between:
|
Trigger torque | Sets the value of the trigger torque for angle monitoring. For STB tools, Trigger Torque will only activate in the tightening direction when executing a tightening program; and only in the loosening direction when executing a loosening program. |
Low limit | Sets angle monitoring (program) lower limit. |
High limit | Sets angle monitoring (program) higher limit. |
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Enabled | Turn Torque monitoring On or Off for the entire program. If Active in steps is left blank, torque monitoring will start at program start. |
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps this monitor is valid for:
|
Type | Type of angle monitoring:
|
Low limit | Sets torque monitoring (program) lower limit. |
High limit | Sets torque monitoring (program) higher limit. |
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Enabled | Turn time monitoring On or Off for the entire program. This monitor checks that the time is within the specified limits. |
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps this monitor is valid for:
|
Trigger torque | Sets the value of the trigger torque at which this monitor shall start. |
Low limit | Sets time monitoring (program) lower limit. |
High limit | Sets time monitoring (program) higher limit. |
Program Restrictions
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Maximum Time Limit | Set amount in seconds. This restriction checks the total time for the tightening and if it exceeds the Time High limit the tool is stopped immediately. The time is measured from the start of the program. |
Maximum Torque Limit | This restriction checks the torque and if the measured torque exceeds the Torque High limit the tool is stopped immediately. |
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Enabled | Turn angle restriction On or Off for the entire program. This restriction checks that the angle is within the specified angle limits. |
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps this restriction is valid for:
|
Trigger torque | Sets the value of the trigger torque at which the this restriction shall start. |
High limit | Sets angle restriction (program) higher limit. |
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Enabled | Turn time restriction On or Off for the entire program. This restriction checks that the time is within the specified time limits. |
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps this restriction is valid for:
|
Trigger torque | Sets the value of the trigger torque at which this restriction shall start. |
High limit | Sets time restriction (program) higher limit. |
Reporters
This enables the user to choose which values (from monitors/restrictions) shall be shown as final values. Click Add to choose a result reporter to be tied to a program monitor/restriction value.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Reporter | Select a result reporter. |
Producer | Select which monitor/restriction produces the value. |
Value | Select which value to show from the selected producer. |
Trace Configuration
The trace configuration can be done on program level or for each step. The default configuration is set on the program level and can be overridden in each step as needed.
Here, enabling this function allows the configuration to be done on program level.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Enabled |
|
Sample Type |
|
Sample Time | Choose the sample time from the drop-down list (0.25 - 1000 ms) |
Sample Angle | Choose the sample angle from the drop-down list (0.25 - 20 degree) |
Validation
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Validate against tool values | Use On if tool is known and set Max Torque and Max Speed. Use Off if tool is not known. |
Tool | Drop-down for choosing the tool to validate against. |
Max torque | Max torque of the tool to validate against. |
Max speed | Max speed of the tool to validate against. |
