Batch settings parameters

Parameter name

Description

Default value

Lock tool on Batch sequence compl.

A batch sequence is completed when the batch sequence counter is equal to the batch sequence size.

On: The tool is locked and a tightening program or batch sequence must be selected to continue performing tightenings.

Off: After completion, the batch sequence is ready to be repeated.

On

Free order

No: The configured batches will be executed in the order listed, provided they have been configured to perform tightenings. If socket has been specified, the system will prompt for the socket when the batch is to be performed.

Yes: The configured batches can be executed in any order. The operator must indicate to the system which batch is to be executed by using a Socket selector.

A batch is regarded as complete when all joints have been completed.

No

Increment on NOK

Makes it possible to increment the batch counter value even though the tightening is reported as NOK. For Max consecutive NOK to work (the maximum number of times a single bolt can be tightenened), Increment on NOK must be set to No. Setting this parameter to Yes, will allow the sequence to move on to the next tightening.

No

Max consecutive NOK

Maximum consecutive not OK tightenings (NOK) are a defined maximum allowed number of NOK consecutive tightenings in a batch. If the Max consecutive NOK number is reached, the event Too many NOK tightenings (4020) is displayed.

0

Decrement on loosening

Decrements the counter within the currently active batch. Completed batched cannot be decremented.

Never: The setting is off. Counter is not decremented when loosening is performed in the active batch.

Always: decrements the counter in the active batch when loosening, if the last tightening was OK.

When last tightening was OK: decrements the counter when performing a loosening in the active batch, regardless of the previous tightening result.

Never

On: The selected batch sequence can be aborted within a specified time limit

Off: The selected batch sequence cannot be aborted.

Off
