Configuring the Extended Human Machine Interface (EHMI)
The EHMI is a tool accessory. It is installed on the tool and connected to the tool accessory bus. It has a graphical display, three function buttons and an optional scanner. The display is a subset of the controller GUI with the possibility to select tightening programs, batch sequences etc. Through the function buttons, the operator can interact with the controller.
A StepSync controller does not support this accessory.
In the EHMI configuration, it is possible to configure whether the function buttons should be set to On or Off.
