ToolsTalk 2 can distinguish between a local and a global tightening program, although the controller itself has no knowledge of this. Therefore it is important to specify the action in ToolsTalk 2 if a tightening program is changed via either the controller GUI, or the web GUI. This action is defined in the distribution of a global tightening program in the tightening program library.
Action | Result |
|---|---|
Auto revert | Updating a tightening program in a controller from the controller GUI or from the web GUI is ignored if the program is marked as a global tightening program in ToolsTalk 2. The update is made and sent to ToolsTalk 2. A change is noticed but not accepted. The global program is immediately pushed back to the controller. |
Unlink | Updating a tightening program in a controller from the controller GUI or from the web GUI causes the program to change from a global program to a local program in the affected controller. The update is made and sent to ToolsTalk 2. A change is noticed. As a result the tightening program is immediately removed from the distribution list to the controller. |
The selection of auto revert or unlink must be made when a global tightening program is configured for distribution to a controller. The selection cannot be changed at a later stage.
