Creating a Source Tightening

Select a controller in the Plant structure workspace .

Go to the Sources tab.

Select Add, the Create new source configuration dialog window opens. Choose Tightening from the drop-down menu then select Add.

Issue the Source Tightening with a name.

Select the correct Socket selector (Control or Confirm, depending on what is required).

Set the number of Max consecutive NOK results to be allowed. If the value is set to 0, then there is no check performed for NOK tightenings. When reaching max consecutive NOK's, the controller locks the tool and the sequence execution is halted.

Select which Batch Control is to be used from the drop-down menu.

Internal batch control: Configure how many times a source tightening should be repeated.

External batch control: Configure how many times a source tightening should be executed by using Open protocol or Fieldbus. Any configuration change clears the source tightening so to start over from a clean and known state (the batch count in the batch will be reset to 0). Ongoing tightenings are able to finish before the changes take effect. 

By default, only one editable Identifier number will be available when creating a new Source Tightening. Select Add to add more.

Give every item an identifier number

If a socket selector is used, the identifier numbers will correspond to the positions in the socket selector. For example, Identifier number 1 corresponds to socket number 1 in the socket selector.

Choose a tightening program to link to each identifier number by selecting Program and choosing from the list of tightening programs.
