Tool LEDs
The tool LED's can be used to signal different messages to the operator.
Select a controller in the Plant structure workspace
.Select the Configurations icon
in the top-side menu bar in the workspace area.The workspace area displays a list of configurations.
Double-click on a configuration row that has Tool configuration in the Type column.
Alternatively, select Add to create a new configuration.
The workspace shows all the tool configuration menus.
Perform the relevant configurations. The configurations are auto saved in ToolsTalk 2.
The tool LEDs have the following features
The blue LED is on top of the tool. An output signal can be connected to the LED and provides an output message to the operator.
The LED ring consists of a red, a yellow and a green ring. Output signals can be connected to the LEDs and provide output messages to the operator.
A result indicator uses the LED rings. Tightening result signals can be connected to the LEDs and provide output messages to the operator at the end of the tightening.
Blue LED
The blue LED is a single LED with a steady signal.
Select the signal that shall be connected to the blue LED from a shortcut menu.
For a signal of the type Event, select the duration of the signal.
LED Ring
The LED Ring consists of three circles of LED lamps. One circle of red LEDs, one circle of Yellow LEDs and one circle of Green LEDs. Each circle can have a steady signal or a flashing signal. This provides a total of six different signals that can be connected to the LED ring.
Select the signal that shall be connected to the LED color and type from a shortcut menu.
For a signal of the type Event, select the duration of the signal.
An LED is turned on only when no tightening is ongoing and when the controlling output signal is activated.
An LED is turned off when the maximum time is exceeded. Only applicable if the signal type is an Event.
An LED is turned off when the next tightening is started.
An LED is turned off when the controlling output signal is deactivated. Only applicable if the signal type is a State.
Result indicator
A pre-configured pattern can be selected from a shortcut menu. This pattern can be a combination of tightening results.
Select the signal message that shall be displayed from a shortcut menu.
Select the duration of the message.
Signal | Description |
|---|---|
Off | No LEDs are activated after the tightening, regardless of the result |
Green | If a result indicator is selected, a green light is the default signal if the tightening is terminated correctly (OK). |
Red:high:yellow:low | Either a red LED indicates the final value is too high, or a yellow LED indicates the value is too low, if the tightening is terminated incorrectly (NOK). |
Red:NOK:yellow:low | A red LED indicates that the tightening is terminated incorrectly (NOK). An additional yellow LED can indicate if the value is too low. |
Red:NOK | A red LED indicates that the tightening is terminated incorrectly (NOK). No additional LEDs are shown. |
An LED is turned on when a tightening is terminated and the LED is part of the result indicator configuration.
An LED is turned off when a tightening has been performed and the LED is not part of the result indicator configuration.
An LED is turned off when the maximum time is exceeded after a tightening has been performed.
An LED is turned off when the next tightening is started.
An LED is turned off and replaced by another LED signal pattern when an LED ring configuration is activated by an output signal.
An output signal can be of the type Event or of the type State.
A state signal is active as long as the state is active.
An event signal is active during a programmable time range.
