Working with the Virtual Station Tab
Virtual stations are configured in the Virtual Station menu.
A virtual station is a software abstraction of a physical station and can be set up to use a specific tool and remotely execute different tasks using the tool.
In POWER FOCUS 6000, it is possible to set up a number of virtual stations per controller. Each virtual station can be connected to one tool and one or more accessories.
By using virtual stations, the operator can operate multiple tools and run different tasks using the same controller. It is possible to connect one cable tool and multiple STB tools simultaneously to the controller.
When configuring different tools, make sure the selected start signal in Start source matches the selected tool and that the selected task can be run on the specific tool.
Before any tightening can begin a task must be selected in the virtual stations menu. A task is of one of three types:
Tightening program
Batch sequence
Sources
The selection can be made manually by the operator or by external signals.
