PDF Export
In addition to the XML and CSV files, PDF files are generated for batch assembly and batch bolt service jobs. The PDF files are written to the directory /Export/pdf/ on the USB stick.
One PDF file is generated per Flange ID (sometimes called Tower Section ID) and configuration, in the hand controller user interface. The same goes for the XML file generation: one XML file will map to one PDF file. Single tensionings are not exported as XML.
The filename of the PDF file is composed of the Flange ID, the name of the Multistep program, and a timestamp in the format yyyy-mm-dd_hh_mm_ss.
Example: 00ABC12345_multistageConfM36Second_2023-10-31_10_50_35.pdf.
The PDF file is generated in English only.
PDF File SectionsFlange results section | Task name: the name of the Multistep program. For more information, see General Settings. Assembly date: the date and time of the last result of the job. Print date: the date and time of the generation of the export. Tensioner type: the tensioner type used during the job. Tensioner size: the tensioner size, for example, M48. Program ID: the name of the tensioning step of the multistep program. For more information, see Tensioning Parameters. Number of bolts: the number of bolts on the frame as provided by the user when starting the flange job. Flange assembly result: OK/n.OK according to the conditions in the configuration. Number of bolts tightened: the number of bolts tightened out of the total number of bolts in the flange job. Averaged clamping force tightened bolts: the average clamping force for the results that are available and OK/n.OK result. Flange ID: the identity of the flange as scanned or entered for the field ‘Tower section ID’ when starting the job and OK/n.OK result. Flange location: the scanned string ‘Flange location’. Bolt data: the scanned string ‘bolt data’ Operator: the scanned string ‘operator data’ Company: the scanned string ‘operator company’

Equipment section | The tensioner and pump used for the job. If any part has been replaced during job, a new entry is listed, so that it is possible to follow which bolts have been tensioned with which equipment. Bolts: the numbers of the bolts in the Bolt Results table, for example, 1–10, that were tightened with this particular tensioner and pump in the row in the table. Tens art number: the article number of the tensioner used. Tens ser number: the serial number of the tensioner used. Tens custom ID: the custom ID of the tensioner used. Pump art num: the article number of the pump used. Pump ser num: the serial number of the pump used. Pump custom ID: the custom ID of the pump used. Software version: The system revision identifier.

Settings section | Min bolt tensioning pressure: the minimum bolt tensioning pressure, measured in bar. Min rotation angle: the minimum rotation angle, measured in degrees. Max rotation angle: the maximum rotation angle, measured in degrees. Min torque: the minimum amount of torque applied.
|
Bolt results – step tensioning | Bolt: the bolt number. Date: the date and time of tensioning. App force [kN]: the applied force in kN. App press [bar]: the applied pressure in bar. Res Force [kN]: Residual force in [kN].
Depending on settings, calculated using either estimated initial mean settlement, or applied force and clamping length. Torque [Nm] the amount of torque applied in Nm. Result: OK/n.OK Successful (OK) or unsuccessful (not OK) result of tensioning.

Bolt results – step tensioning service | Bolt: the bolt number. Date: the date and time of tensioning. App force [kN]: the applied force in kN. App press [bar]: the applied pressure in bar. Res Force [kN]: residual force in [kN]. Delta [deg] the total rotation from the starting point, that is, loosening angle + tightening angle.
Example: loosening angle = −13, tightening angle = 17. Delta = −13 + 17 = 4 degrees. The total nut movement during the service is 4 degrees. A positive value means the nut rotated in the tightening direction, a negative value that the nut rotated in the loosening direction. Torque [Nm] the amount of torque applied in Nm. Result: OK/n.OK Successful (OK) or unsuccessful (not OK) result of tensioning.

Single tensionings
Results from single tensionings are collected in one file per tensioner and configuration. Flange data is not included in single tensionings. Single tensionings are not exported in XML format.
Results from single tensionings are collected in files named Assembly_<step name>_<timestamp of last result>.pdf.
Example: Assembly_M36_stage_1_2023-10-31_15_49_48.pdf.
Results from single bolt service are collected in files named: BoltService_<step name>_<timestamp of last result>.pdf.
Example: BoltService_M36_2023-11-01-13_22_23.pdf.
