Working with the Batch Sequence Tab
A Batch Sequence task is selected in a Virtual Station Task configuration, or by an external input source.
The tightening order can either follow a fixed scheme, or be left to the operator to decide in a free-order scheme. In either case, the sockets or signals can be used to communicate between the controller and the operator.
A Batch consists of one tightening program, which is repeated a number of times.
A Batch Sequence is an ordered set of batches, when the operation requires a combination of batches/tightening programs.

The list of configurations will show irregularities in the index number scheme when a configuration is deleted. Index numbers do not change. Adding a new configuration will attempt to find the lowest free index position for a configuration. |
Add | Create or Import a new Batch Sequence. |
The Batch Sequence name consists of an index number combined with optional characters. The index position cannot be changed. A new configuration is given lowest possible available index number. The index number is important when using sources and identifier numbers to be part of the task selection process.
