Batch Sequence Configuration Menu
The options in the Properties menu are as follows:
Parameter name | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Default name Batch sequence. This can be edited. |
Description | The optional description issued for the batch sequence. |
Lock tool on batch sequence complete | A batch sequence is completed when the batch sequence counter is equal to the batch sequence size. On: The tool is locked and a tightening program or batch sequence must be selected to continue do tightenings. Off: After completion, the batch sequence is ready to be repeated. |
Free order | No: The batches within the sequence are executed in the order listed by the index number. If sockets have been specified, the system will prompt for the next socket when the batch is to be done. Yes: The tightenings and the batches within the sequence can be executed in any order. The operator must indicate to the system which batch is to be executed by using the Socket selector bits which act as identifier numbers. |
Increment on NOK | No: The batch counter is not incremented if the tightening fails (NOK). Yes: The batch counter is incremented if the tightening fails (NOK). |
Max consecutive NOK | Max consecutive NOK is defined as the maximum allowed number of consecutive failed tightenings in a batch. If the value is reached, the event Too many NOK tightenings (4020) is displayed. |
Decrement on loosening | Never: The batch counter is not decremented when a loosening is done. This is the default value. Always: The batch counter is decremented when a loosening is done. When last tightening OK: If the preceding tightening was OK, the batch counter is decremented when a loosening is done. |
Sequence abort time | On: The selected batch sequence will be aborted within a specified time limit. When you select On, the Abort time field opens. Off: The selected batch sequence cannot be aborted. |
Abort time | The number of seconds during which the selected batch sequence will be aborted. Allowed range is between 1 s to 1600 s. |
A batch sequence is completed, and the tool may be locked, when either:
All tightenings have been completed with an OK or NOK result.
The Abort sequence signal terminates the task. Unperformed tightenings are reported with NOK result.
In the Sequence configuration menu, the different batches are combined into a batch sequence. A batch consists of one single tightening program that is repeated a number of times.
Each row in the Sequence configuration menu represents one single batch.
