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.

Select a controller in the Plant structure .
Go to Batch Sequence .

The columns contain the following information:
