Quick Start Guide

To create a better overview of the system, this instruction lightly goes through the different steps required to get started using the system.

This section does not cover every feature of the system, but instead focuses on the most basic features.

  1. Decide on what kind of tool to use. The kind of tool being used affect the availability of tightening strategies.

  2. The main purpose of the tool is to perform a tightening. This is done by defining a tightening program which contains all relevant parameters of a tightening, for example target angle and target torque.

  3. One or several tightening programs can be added to a Batch Sequence which works as a series of tightening programs. A batch sequence can for example be a certain number of tightenings with a tightening program, or a sequence of different tightening programs.

  4. Create a Virtual Station and assign a tool to it. The virtual station acts as an interface between the controller and the tool, allowing for several tools to be connected to a single physical controller. A virtual station is required even if only one tool is connected to the controller.

  5. Assign a task to the Virtual Station. The task can be either a tightening program, a batch sequence, or a specified digital input (from for example a barcode scanner). The tool assigned to the station will now be able to perform the task.
