# Tightening Tab

The Tightening tab lists the tightening programs stored on the controller that are available for an individual tightening. Tightening configurations are described in the Tightening tab.

# Batch Sequence Tab

The Batch sequence tab lists the batch sequences stored in the controller.

A batch sequence consists of one or more repetitive tightening programs in various combinations. Batch sequences are created and configured in the Batch sequence tab.

# Sources Tab

The Sources tab lists the available options for controlling the selection of a tightening program, for example, a tightening program or a batch sequence, via digital input from different hardware. Scanner configurations are done in the Sources tab.

# Tool Tab

The Tool tab provides information about the tools connected to the controller, including wireless tools. Some of the data available in this section is the QA calibration, the tool reference product and the service and calibration of the tool.

# Virtual Station Tab

The Virtual station tab configures the Virtual Stations.

The Virtual Station is a software abstraction of a controller system. In the Virtual station tab, the different resources, accessories, tools and tasks are assigned to a Virtual Station. Virtual Station Type licenses are assigned inside each Virtual Station configuration.

# Configurations Tab

A list of accessory configurations is given in the Configurations tab.

Accessories like tool accessories and socket selectors can be configured. Digital I/O signals are mapped to buttons, lamps, switches and connectors.

# Controller Tab

The Controller tab lists hardware and software components.

The software versions stored and used in the controller are listed and can be updated. The license manager for additional features is handled. It is also possible to import or export settings to and from the controller.

# Reports Tab

In the Reports tab the stored tightening results and the events are listed.

# Settings Tab

The Settings tab is used to set up the controller specific settings, such as language, pin code, wireless network and fieldbus.

# Automation Rules Tab

The Automation Rules tab lists the rules stored on the controller. The rules allow logical operations on Boolean signals available on the controller.

# License Assignment Tab

The License assignment tab is used to upload or discard licenses from or to the FSMP and to check their status.

# Help Tab

The Help tab contains useful help sections about the controller. It is possible to download PDF files in different languages through a computer connected to the controller.

# Quick Start Guide

To create a better overview of the system, this instruction lightly goes through the different steps required to get started using the system.

This section does not cover every feature of the system, but instead focuses on the most basic features.

1. Decide on what kind of tool to use. The kind of tool being used affect the availability of tightening strategies.

2. The main purpose of the tool is to perform a tightening. This is done by defining a tightening program which contains all relevant parameters of a tightening, for example target angle and target torque.

3. One or several tightening programs can be added to a Batch Sequence which works as a series of tightening programs. A batch sequence can for example be a certain number of tightenings with a tightening program, or a sequence of different tightening programs.

4. Create a Virtual Station and assign a tool to it. The virtual station acts as an interface between the controller and the tool, allowing for several tools to be connected to a single physical controller. A virtual station is required even if only one tool is connected to the controller.

5. Assign a task to the Virtual Station. The task can be either a tightening program, a batch sequence, or a specified digital input (from for example a barcode scanner). The tool assigned to the station will now be able to perform the task.

# Hardware Structure

# Operating and Handling

# License Introduction

Licenses for controller features are managed through the Functionality Management System (FMS). FMS allows users to change controller functions to their specific needs through a dynamic licensing scheme.

Licenses can be obtained for individual features or collections of features and can be deployed across multiple Virtual Stations. The licenses can be returned to a license pool when they are no longer required. Licenses can be obtained through the Atlas Copco License Portal (ACLP). Licenses can be downloaded from the ACLP and managed/distributed through ToolsTalk, or can be stored on a FMS Portable (USB drive) to be inserted into the controller.

The creation and management of a customer account in the ACLP is not covered in this documentation. Contact your local Atlas Copco representative for more information.

# Licenses Overview

Configuration of features governed by licenses can be done even in the absence of an installed license. For example configuration of tightening programs and configuration of Multistep programs. Assigning these features to a tool or virtual station is also possible. Running the feature without a valid license, however, will require the installation of the appropriate license.

License enforcement is performed at two stages: assignment and runtime (trigger pressed). If a feature for which no license is installed is assigned to a Virtual Station, a red exclamation mark will appear at the Virtual Station View in ToolsTalk 2. The controller GUI will also show a warning triangle at the tool or task section (depending on what is missing). If a feature for which no license is installed is started (i.e. trigger pressed), an event will be presented to the user informing the user of which license is missing. It will not be possible to proceed without a correct license installed.

Running an unlicensed feature will, in most cases, result in a locked tool.

Many features and functions in the controller require a license in order to be assigned and used by a virtual station. There are four types of licenses:

## Virtual Station Type

Fixed collection of features bundled together in a single package. The Virtual Station Type determines, among other things, what tools can be run, how many programs and sequences can be used, which tightening strategies are available, and the type of reporting that can be done. The features contained in each Virtual Station Type are features that often are used in conjunction with each other, or which have internal dependencies that require the presence of other features in the package. Virtual Station Types are assigned in their entirety to a virtual station. The virtual station can then make use of all features contained in the Virtual Station Type. In order to be able to perform tightenings, a Virtual Station has to be assigned a Virtual Station Type license. Depending on the license type, various tightening options will be enabled or blocked.

## Sync Functionality Type

Works in the same way as described in Virtual Station Type but used for fixtured systems. To be able to run several tools on a virtual station each tool need a sync functionality license.

## Virtual Station Feature

Individual features which can complement Virtual Station Types. A lot of features can be purchased as a single license.

## Controller Feature

Features that are controller-wide. These are features which are assigned to a controller and once assigned can be used by all virtual stations on that controller.

# License Sources

Licenses used on a controller can be pulled from several different sources. The number of simultaneous sources is limited to 10 (either 10 FMS Portable sources, or one License Server (TT2) in addition to 9 FMS Portable sources). If you would like to add licenses from a source when the source limit (10) has been reached, all licenses from one source need to be removed from the controller to make room for licenses from the other source.

## Source Overview

The Source Overview tab (License assignment > Source Overview) provides the user with an overview of the licenses installed on the controller, as well as where they were installed from. A maximum number of 10 different sources can be displayed here, and each will be designated with FMS P (for FMS Portable, or dongle), or License Server (TT2).

Clicking on any license source will present that source's detailed license source information. It lists the source name and type, as well as the number and type of licenses in each category (Virtual Station Type, Virtual Station Feature and Controller Feature).

# Supported Tools

Tools supported by a Virtual Station may vary depending on the Virtual Station type on the controller.

# Installation and Upgrade

In this section, you can find information to help with the initial installation of the product, or upgrading from one version to another.

# License Installation

# Installing Licenses on the Controller

Note that licenses sources are limited to 1 License Server (TT2) and 9 FMS Portables (dongles) simultaneously. Licenses are installed either through the server (ToolsTalk 2) or FMS Portable. If the license source limit is reached, all licenses from one source need to be removed from the controller in order to add licenses from another source.

Before installing licenses through the server (ToolsTalk 2), make sure that the controller time is synced with the server time.

## Installing from the Server

Distributing server-based licenses is done through ToolsTalk 2. Please refer to the ToolsTalk 2 User Guide for instructions on installing licenses.

In order to be able to install licenses using ToolsTalk 2, the correct license server needs to be configured:

1. On the home view, go to the Settings tab and select Server connections on the left pane.

2. On the Atlas Copco License Manager window, set the switch to On.

3. Insert the correct Server host IP address (usually the same as the IP address for ToolsTalk 2) and Server Port.

4. Select Apply.

## Installing from FMS Portable (USB)

The Functionality Management System (FMS) uses a special FMS Portable device to transfer functionality to and from a controller. The USB flash drive contains both a general purpose memory area and a trusted storage area that is only accessible by the License manager in a controller. The purchased feature items are downloaded from Atlas Copco to the general purpose area. The first time the FMS Portable is inserted into a controller with a License manager, the file is detected and decoded and the feature items are transferred to the trusted storage area that is only accessible from a License manager.

If you have a USB drive with the licenses installed, perform the following steps to install them on the controller.

1. Insert the USB into the USB port in the controller

   The USB License Management window will pop up in the GUI. The Pool column will show the total license count on the controller from all sources. The Available on FMS P column shows the licenses available on this dongle, while the From this FMS P column shows the number of licenses that have been moved to this controller from this particular FMS P.

2. Select the left-pointing arrow next to license you want to install on the controller.

   The number in the Available on FMS P column will decrease by 1 and the number in the From this FMS P column will increase by 1.

The user will be presented with events on the controller for both license transfer start and end.

## License sync

Existing licenses downloaded from the server are checked against the license server every two hours. If no response from the license server is obtained within a 14 day period, the affected licenses will be revoked. The user will also be warned when licenses are about to expire. When a license is within 7 days of expiration, the user will be presented with a warning once every two hours. If licenses are not renewed, they will expire and the affected functions will no longer be available.

# Removing Licenses from the Controller

One way of removing an FMS Portable-installed licenses are described, for instructions how to remove server-installed licenses, please refer to the ToolsTalk 2 User Guide.

## Removing FMS Portable-Installed Licenses

1. Make sure the FMS Portable is inserted into the USB port in the controller.

2. [If the USB License Manager window is not visible] Select the License Assignment menu.

3. Select the USB icon in the top right of the window.

   The USB License Manager window pops up.

4. Select the right-pointing arrow next to the license you want to remove from the controller.

   Licenses that are assigned to virtual stations can be removed from the controller. However, the Virtual Station will become unusable as a result.

# Configuration

In this section, you can find detailed information about how to create, modify, and verify product settings.

# Working with the Tightening Tab

WARNING

Risk of injury

A change in the configuration of the tightening program may cause unexpected torque, rotational direction, or speed in the system(s) where the tightening program is currently in use. This could result in severe bodily injury and/or property damage.

- Check the tightening program configurations after adding a new program or after applying changes to an existing program.

Changes made to tightening programs in any section need to be actively applied by clicking the Apply button in the bottom right corner of the GUI. Alternatively, changes can be undone by clicking the Undo button in the same location.

When navigating away from the section where changes have been made (by using the Back, Home or Result button), the user will be presented with a warning pop-up where the changes can also be applied or undone. The user cannot proceed without applying or undoing changes.

Controller features, such as the Low Reaction Tightening Strategies and controller-wide functions among others, require licenses distributed through the Functionality Management System (FMS). Whereas configuration of features is possible without specific licenses, the assignment and use of those features will require the correct license to be installed on the controller. Please refer to Licenses (FMS) for more detailed information on licenses.

The POWER FOCUS 8 tightening programs need parameters to be set in order to perform tightening. Selecting a Strategy and either the Target torque or Target angle are mandatory. Other settings are optional, such as Soft start, Selftap, and Torque compensation. It is also possible to monitor the tightening as it progresses by adding limits within which the torque, or angle the nut turns, must remain.

The tightening procedure is divided into four steps: Start, Rundown, Tightening and Stop.

In this Section

- Step Configuration Stages
- Tightening Programs
- Multistep Programs
- Tightening Program Configuration - General Parameters

# Step Configuration Stages

The controller tightening programs need parameters to be set in order to execute the programs. Selecting a Strategy and either the Target torque or Target angle are mandatory. Other settings are optional. It is also possible to monitor the tightening as it progresses by adding limits within which the torque or angle rotation must remain.

The tightening procedure is divided into four stages: Start, Rundown, Tightening and Stop.

Typical tightening curve

The figure is typical of how tightenings are described. The curves represent how speed, torque and angle vary over time. All tightening strategies are represented in this way. Parameters, monitors and limits are also shown in detailed figures.

A task is defined from the time a trigger is pressed until the tightening target is reached, or an error occurs.

A combination of a tightening strategy together with specific parameter settings forms a tightening program.

The user can create many different tightening programs, and one of them is selected at runtime.

In this Section

- Start Stage
- Rundown Stage
- Stop Stage
- Loosening a Screw
- Stage Parameter Descriptions

# Start Stage

The optional Start step initiates the tightening, enables socket and thread finding, and the option to detect rehits.

In this Section

- Direction
- Soft Start
- Rehit Detection
- Current Monitoring
- TrueAngle Compensation

# Direction

Direction defines the tightening direction of the spindle to clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW). The rotation of the spindle will always be in this direction, except when loosening and during the conditioning step used in the Three step strategy.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Thread direction | Defines the tightening direction of the spindle. | Clockwise

# Soft Start

During Soft start it is possible to set the speed, the maximum torque and the the rotation angle to help the screw to enter the thread, and to prevent the tool being jerked out of position when the tool trigger is pressed.

Parameter name | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Soft start | Enables setting of the tool’s speed, angle and maximum torque to facilitate the screw entering the thread. Off: Soft start is turned off. On: Soft start is turned on. | On
Speed | Defines the speed during Soft start. | 35 rpm
Angle | Defines the angle to turn the spindle for the screw to enter the thread. | 90°
Torque max | Defines the upper torque limit during Soft start. If Torque max is exceeded, the tightening is aborted and an error message is given. The tightening will be considered NOK. | 1.25 Nm

# Rehit Detection

When Rehit detection is activated, it is possible to detect a screw that has already been tightened.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Rehit detection | Detects attempts to tighten an already tightened screw. Early: the Rehit detection Early option terminates the tightening immediately when a rehit is detected and ends the tightening in the most ergonomic possible way. To be able to use the Rehit detection Early option, Soft start must be set to On. This is because the Soft start torque max value is used as the torque limit beyond which the tightening is considered a rehit. The tightening is considered as NOK and a rehit error is indicated. Complete: to make a rehit detection when Soft start is not used, the Rehit detection Complete option must be used. Rehit detection Complete does not terminate the tightening until all tightening steps have been executed and consequently takes longer. The tightening is considered a rehit if the speed never reaches half the rundown speed, and a rehit error is indicated. The tightening is considered as NOK. Off: no rehit detection is performed. | Early

# Current Monitoring

Current monitoring provides an extra security to monitor the tightening torque and is a complement to the torque sensor in the tool.

At final target torque, the rotor current is measured and converted to a torque value. If the calculated torque is within 10% of the measured torque, the tightening is considered to be OK.

Parameter | Description | Default
--- | --- | ---
Current monitoring | Switch with On - Off position. Off: Current monitoring is disabled and the tool torque is measured by the torque sensor. On: the current is measured at final torque target and converted to a torque value. The calculated torque is compared to the measured torque. If the difference is within 10%, the tightening is considered OK. | Off

Current monitoring is not implemented for Turbo Tight, Rotate, Pulsing and STwrench strategies.

# TrueAngle Compensation

Certain tools are equipped with a gyro and measure the tool rotation during tightening. If the tool is rotated during tightening, the angle measurement may be corrupted. This leads to faulty tightening if made to angle references. For variations within specified limits, the controller can compensate for these rotations and make a correct tightening.

If the tool rotation is outside specified limits, the tightening is aborted and the result status NOK is reported. Additional information reports Tool movement exceeded.

Parameter | Description | Default
--- | --- | ---
TrueAngle compensation | Available for all tightening strategies except Rotate. Tools which have a crowfoot installed as an attachment do not support the parameter TrueAngle compensation. | On
Tool movement limits - Negative | Only visible if TrueAngle compensation is on. Defines the maximum negative rotation of the tool. If the value is exceeded the tightening is terminated and an error is reported. Expressed in a numeric angle value. Min value: 1 Max value: 180 | 30
Tool movement limits - Positive | Only visible if TrueAngle compensation is on. Defines the maximum positive rotation of the tool. If the value is exceeded the tightening is terminated and an error is reported. Expressed in a numeric angle value. Min value: 1 Max value: 180 | 30

Only tools with gyro have the capability to measure the tool movement.

# Rundown Stage

The part of the tightening from when the screw enters the thread until just before the screw head touches the underlying surface and snug is reached. The torque required during rundown does not contribute to any clamping force.

Parameter | Description | Default value

# Selftap

The Selftap step enables tightening where the rundown torque required is greater than the Rundown complete torque, for example when tightening thin layers of metal using self-threading (or self-tapping) screws. The selftap window starts when the torque value reaches SelftapTorqueMin/2. The torque must reach over SelftapTorqueMin, but not pass SelftapTorqueMax, during the angle window.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Selftap | Activates the Selftap step. | Off
Speed | Defines the speed during Selftap. | Soft start speed or 5% of ToolMaxSpeed
Length | Defines the angle to turn the socket during Selftap. Measured from the end of the Start step. | 360°
Torque min | Torque value for lower Selftap limit. | 0 Nm
Torque max | Torque value for upper Selftap limit. | Tool max torque

# Rundown Torque Limits

The friction between the nut and joint can vary. This can cause the torque needed to run a nut down a thread, before engagement with the joint surface takes place, to vary as well. These effects could be, for example, hole interference, prevailing torque or varying lubrication.

Monitoring the rundown torque can be useful when running down a lock nut which has a plastic insert in the threads to help the fastener resist vibration. This will require a higher torque, known as prevailing torque, to overcome the interference.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Rundown torque limits | Sets Rundown torque limits to On or Off. Off: No limits are set. On: Torque limits and angle interval are set. | Off
Offset | Angle offset before the Angle interval begins. | 0°
Length | Angle defining the Rundown torque limit section. | 360°
Torque min | Torque value for lower Rundown torque limit. | 0 Nm
Torque max | Torque value for upper Rundown torque limit. | 19% of Target torque

# Rundown Angle Limits

By monitoring the angle of rotation during rundown, errors such as missing washers or screws with incorrect thread size or length can be detected. For example, threads that are too long would require a greater turning angle for the screw to reach snug.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Rundown angle limits | Activates Rundown angle limits. The angle limits are set relative to when the tool trigger is pressed or when a specified torque value is reached. Angle limits will not be checked during Selftap if Selftap is activated. Off: No limits are set. From trigger:The system starts to monitor the tightening angle as soon as the tool trigger is pressed and reports if angle or time limits are violated. From torque: The system starts to monitor the tightening angle from the specified <From torque> value and reports if angle or time limits are violated. | Off
<From torque> | Torque value from where Rundown angle limits are set. | 10% of Target Torque
Angle min | Angle value for lower angle limit from starting point. | 100°
Angle max | Angle value for upper angle limit from starting point. | 1000°
Time min | Minimum time (in milliseconds) for the step. Measured from the start of the step. | 10 ms
Time max | Maximum time (in milliseconds) for the step. Measured from the start of the step. | 5000 ms

# Post View Torque

Some joints have a torque peak prior to Rundown complete. Post view torque makes it possible to monitor torque values during two specified angular intervals. The interval starts are defined as an angle prior to Rundown complete and torque is then monitored for a specified angular interval.

Post view torque is therefore similar to Rundown torque limits except that the maximum and minimum limits can be positioned independently of each other and can differ in length to better control the outcome of the rundown step.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Post view torque | Post view torque makes it possible to monitor torque values during two specified angular intervals. | Off
Torque min | Torque value for lower Post view torque limit. |
Torque min offset | Angle offset before the Post view torque min interval begins. | 720°
Torque min length | Angle length defining the Post view torque min section. | 90°
Torque max | Torque value for upper Post view torque limit. |
Torque max offset | Angle offset before the Post view torque max interval begins. | 360°
Torque max length | Angle length defining the Post view torque max section. | 90°

# Rundown Complete

Rundown complete sets if the screw has reached snug. It ends the Rundown step so that the tightening step can be entered.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Rundown complete | Specifies how to control when snug is reached. At torque: Specifies the torque value for when the rundown step is completed. | At torque
<At torque> | Defines the torque value for when snug is reached and the rundown step is completed. Rundown complete must be smaller than First torque in multi-step strategies or Target torque in the TurboTight strategy. |

# Stop Stage

The Stop stage terminates the tightening so that the socket can be released.

## Soft Stop

Soft stop causes the tightening stop in a more ergonomic fashion.

Do not stop tools within the time interval of 50-300 ms, as this is known to make it feel like an uncomfortable stop.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Soft stop | Turns the Soft stop on or off. Off: No Soft stop is used. On: Soft stop is activated. When target torque is reached, the tool speed is immediately decreased to 75%. Then the speed is decreased to zero in at most 40 ms. | Off

# Loosening a Screw

By setting the loosening parameters, you can control the behavior of loosening for a specific tightening program. Specify the loosening speed and torque to ensure that the screw is unscrewed as desired, so that the screw thread does not break, regardless of what tool you use.

A loosening is considered OK when Run-up torque is reached. However, the screw will probably not have been fully run up by then. The screw should now be able to be turned using a low torque and the speed can be increased. The operator will need to proceed with the loosening until it is considered finished.

Parameter name | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Detection torque | The minimum torque required to begin performing a loosening operation and produce a loosening result. | 7% ToolMaxTorque
Run-up torque | When the torque falls below Run-up torque, the loosening is considered to be OK. Note! Depending on variations in screw length, the system cannot determine when the screw has been run up completely. This is for the operator to decide. | 3.5% ToolMaxTorque
Loosening speed | Loosening speed will be attained when Run-up torque is reached. | ToolMaxSpeed

# Stage Parameter Descriptions

# Target Torque Limits

By setting the Target torque limits , it is possible to discard a tightening should the torque result not fall within the specified torque limits. A too high torque can cause the screw to deform as a result of passing the yield point, and can even break, or can cause the stripping of threads. Not enough torque result in the clamping force not being enough to withstand the forces for which the joint is designed.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Torque limits | The tightening is considered as NOK if the torque result is outside the range defined by Torque min and Torque max. Auto: Torque limits are automatically set to the default values specified for Torque min and Torque max. Manual: Enables the Torque limit values to be set manually. | Auto
Torque min | Torque value for lower torque limit. Can be entered if Manual has been selected. | 95% of Target torque
Torque max | Torque value for upper torque limit. Can be entered if Manual has been selected. | 120% of Target torque

The parameter Measure torque at can have different values. By default the torque is measured at torque peak. The possible values of the parameter are listed in the table below.

Name | Description
--- | ---
Max torque value | Measures the highest torque value during the tightening.
Value at peak angle | Measures the torque value at the highest angle value.
Value at shutoff | Measures the last torque value before entering the break step.

# Target Angle Limits

With Target angle limits set, it is possible to monitor whether the nut is turned the desired angle during the tightening.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Angle limits | Choose the section of the tightening, in degrees, in which to monitor the angle. Off: No limits are checked. From Rundown complete: The monitoring window is set from when the Rundown complete torque is reached. From torque: The monitoring window is set from when the specified torque value is reached. Torque must be greater than Rundown complete torque. From First target: The monitoring is set from when First target is reached. This option is not available if TurboTight is chosen. Auto: The angle monitoring limits are automatically calculated by the controller Manual: The angle monitoring limits are manually entered. | Off
<From torque> | Torque value from where angle limits are set. |
<From torque> | Torque value from where angle limits are set. | 75% of Target Torque
Angle min | Angle value for lower angle limit | 90°
Angle max | Angle value for upper angle limit | 720°
Time min | Minimum time (in milliseconds) for the step. Measured from the start of the step. | 10 ms For TurboTight: 0 ms
Time max | Maximum time (in milliseconds) for the step. Measured from the start of the step. | 1000 ms For TurboTight: 40 ms

Position 1-4 are valid if the target is torque. Position 5-6 are valid if the target is angle.

The parameter Measure angle at can have different values. The parameter is only available when angle monitoring is turned on for the tightening program used. By default the angle is measured at Max angle value. The possible values of the parameter are listed in the table below.

Name | Description
--- | ---
Value at peak torque | Measures the angle at the highest torque value.
Max angle value | Measures the highest angle during tightening.
Value at shutoff | Measures the last angle value before entering the break step.

# Torque Compensation

By using torque compensation, the actual clamping force applied to the joint can be better determined and the scatter in the applied clamping force can be reduced.

The torque compensation point is set by referring back to a specified angle from Rundown complete and calculating a value for the torque used during rundown. This is then compensated for when creating the preload in the screw by adding the torque value calculated in the torque compensation point to the Target torque.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Torque compensation | Enables adjustment if the Target torque for torque used in the rundown step. Off: No compensation is made. On: Manually sets the Torque compensation point. | Off

# Residual Torque Correlation Factor

The term Residual torque correlation factor is similar to a calibration and adjusts between the dynamic torque, measured in the electrical tool, and the residual torque, measured by a control tool.

The Residual torque correlation factor is available for all tools running the TurboTight strategy and the TensoPulse tightening strategy. It is also available for the battery pulse tools that are supported by the controller.

When using a Residual torque correlation factor that differs from 100, the reported Final torque is no longer the dynamic torque measured by the tool transducer.

The dynamic torque measurement uses an internal torque transducer that constantly measures the torque. When the target torque is reached, the tool stops and the result is evaluated and reported. The measured final torque in the transducer is affected by the joint condition, the tool speed, gears and sockets.

The residual torque is measured after the tightening is completed. It is the torque needed to continue or restart the tightening to a higher level. The residual torque is determining the clamping force in the joint.

A dynamic torque measurement is highly repetitive but may differ between tool type and tool speed. | A handheld calibrated torque wrench provides high accuracy measuring the residual torque but has higher variations due to joint relaxation, torque decay, friction or operator technique.

The Residual torque correlation factor is a compensation between the dynamic torque and the residual torque. The factor should be determined by conducting tests. The selected tightening program is performed a few times and the dynamic torque is recorded. The tightenings are also manually measured to determine the residual torque.

The Residual torque correlation factor can be calculated by dividing a residual torque by a dynamic torque. TheResidual torque correlation factor is presented as percent and is by default 100%. This means the reported dynamic torque value has not been modified.

Parameters | Function
--- | ---
Target torque | The tool target torque set for the tightening using the TurboTight strategy.
Final dynamic torque | The final torque reported as the result of the performed tightening.
Dynamic torque | The dynamic torque measured by a reference transducer.
Residual torque | The desired residual torque that ensures the desired clamping force.
Residual torque correlation factor | The compensation factor between residual torque and dynamic torque

An example of how torque tuning can be used:

The TurboTight strategy is selected. The joint shall be tightened to 12 Nm to reach the desired clamping force. The following set up is made:

Example settings | Value | Function
--- | --- | ---
Target torque | 12 Nm | The programmed desired target torque in the controller
Residual torque correlation factor | 100 | The compensation factor between residual torque and dynamic torque

A number of tightenings are made. After each tightening the joint is checked with a calibrated torque wrench. The average is calculated and the following result has been found:

Initial parameters and results | Value | Function
--- | --- | ---
Target torque | 12 Nm | The programmed target torque in the controller.
Final torque | 12 Nm | The final torque reported as the result of the performed tightening.
Dynamic torque | 12 Nm | The uncompensated measured torque from the tool transducer.
Residual torque | 10 Nm | The residual torque measured with a calibrated torque wrench or other test tool.
Residual torque correlation factor | 100 % | The compensation factor between residual torque and dynamic torque

The testing shows that the residual torque is too low to produce the desired clamp force. The Residual torque correlation factor is calculated to 0.83, which is 83 %. An adjustment of the tuning factor is made and the following result is obtained.

Final parameters and results | Value | Function
--- | --- | ---
Target torque | 12 Nm | The programmed target torque in the controller.
Final torque | 12 Nm | The final torque reported as the result of the performed tightening.
Dynamic torque | 14.5 Nm | The uncompensated measured torque from the tool transducer.
Residual torque | 12 Nm | The desired residual torque that ensures the desired clamping force.
Residual torque correlation factor | 83 % | The compensation factor between residual torque and dynamic torque.

What this shows is that we need to tighten a bit more than the specified target, to compensate for differences and to reach the desired torque in the joint.

It is important that the correlation is made with the same tool type and parameter configuration that will be used in production.

# Trigger Lost

In the Result Evaluation window of the program tightening stage, NOK on trigger lost switch controls whether or not it is allowed to release the tool trigger before the target condition has been reached. The setting can be set to On or Off. Below is a description of the two states.

Switch setting | Description
--- | ---
On | Releasing the trigger before reaching the target condition will result in a NOK tightening.
Off | Releasing the trigger before reaching the target condition will result in an OK tightening as long as all other conditions have been met.

The default behavior is that premature trigger release shall not be allowed.

Availability

The NOK on trigger lost is available in the following tightening strategies: Rotate, Quick Step, Two Step, Three Step, and Impulse - Single Step.

For the tightening strategies Rotate, Quick Step, Two Step and Three Step, Trigger Lost setting is only available when the Target of the program is set to Angle (not Torque).

# Tightening Programs

By selecting the tightening program it is possible to choose the method for applying clamping force (or pre-load) to the joint. Different joints require different strategies for how to apply the desired clamping force and to minimize unwanted in-service effects. POWER FOCUS 8 can store up to 1,000 tightening programs.

- The TurboTight strategy, enables the option to use Manual programming or Quick prog - for more information, see the paragraph TurboTight.

- The Quick step, Two step and Three step strategies enable the choice of tightening towards a Target torque or a Target angle value.

- The External result strategy, is used when OK tightenings are indicated by an external digital signal - for more information, see the paragraph External result.

All tightening programs require that you at least set the Target torque or Target angle value.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Strategy | Available tightening programs. TurboTight: No additional tightening behavior is used as default. Only target values are used. Quick step: Adds an initial tightening step to reduce pre-load scatter. Two step: Adds a pause between the first and final tightening step to further counteract short-term relaxation effects. Three step: Tightens to a defined First torque value, then loosens the screw and immediately retightens it to Target torque or Target angle. Wrench - production: Tightening strategy to use with an ST Wrench. Wrench - quality: Strategy used for quality test of tightenings with an ST Wrench. Rotate: Rotates the spindle a specified speed and angle. External result: presents a predetermined tightening result instead of measured torque/angle. Multistep: Tightening strategy consisting of multiple configurable steps, with restrictions and monitors. | TurboTight
Target type | Defines the type of the target value in the final step. Target torque: The tightening aims towards the specified target value when performing the final step. Target angle: The tightening aims towards the specified target value when performing the final step. |
Target torque | Defines the target torque of the tightening of the final step. |
Target angle | Defines the target angle of the tightening of the final step. |
Target speed | Activates setting the tool speed for the final step manually or using the default speed. Auto: Uses a value that is calculated based on the Tool max speed. Manual: Specify the tool speed manually. | Auto
<Manual> | Tool speed during tightening or during the final step. |

# TurboTight

TurboTight is the default tightening strategy and it is designed to perform a very fast and ergonomic tightening based on the maximum speed of the tool (Tool max speed). This strategy has two options:

- Quick prog, that requires only the Target torque to be set to perform the tightening.

- Manual, that allows the user to configure several tightening parameters.

To minimize the risk of unexpected jerk at the end of the tightening when using the TurboTight tightening strategy, make sure to activate Time monitoring.

To minimize the risk of unexpected jerk at the end of the tightening when using the TurboTight tightening strategy, make sure to set the Time Max Limit.

Time Max Limit is enabled by default, but it is necessary to setup the related values. In the tightening stage, set Angle Limit to From Rundown Complete.
Set Time Max as low as possible, without stopping the normal tightening. In the rundown stage, set Rundown Complete Torque so that it is triggered when the torque start to increase.

Depending on the joint properties, for example if the joint is very stiff or very soft, a different tightening strategy than TurboTight might be needed.

TurboTight is not available for Joint Control.

## Fine-Tuning the TurboTight Strategy

TurboTight tightening strategy points to the target torque, and the result can be below or above the target. The most important parameter for TurboTight tightening strategy is the speed. It is possible to keep maximum speed for most tightenings, but if all/some of the tightenings overshoot, decrease the speed in small steps. Rundown Complete Torque is not used for controlling of the tightening; it is only used for calculating of limits and results.

# Quick Step

Quick step is a tightening strategy used to reduce the joint’s preload scatter by adding an initial step with a given torque and speed, and then reducing the target speed in the final step.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
First torque | Target torque for the first step. |
First torque | Torque during first step. | 80% of Target Torque
First speed | Target speed for the first step. |
First speed | Tool speed during first step. | 50% of Tool max speed

# Two Step

The Two step strategy is very similar to the Quick step strategy except that it adds a small time delay between the first step and the final step, to further counteract short-term relaxation effects in the joint.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
First torque | Torque during first step. | 80% of Target Torque
First speed | Target speed for the first step. |
Pause time | Time between first and second step. | 50 ms

## Fine-Tuning the Two Step Strategy

When the First target is reached, the tool makes an immediate stop for a specified time before it continues with the final step. The First torque value and the Pause time should be chosen to improve ergonomics for hand-held tools.

# Three Step

The Three step strategy adds a loosening step between the first step and the final step, to overcome short-term relaxation effects due to embedment, and reduce preload scatter. This is sometimes used to condition the joint. This can be useful in, for example, joints with many adjoining surfaces and will have a greater effect on new parts than on reused ones, due to the smoothing of surfaces, which reduces embedment.

Conditioning the joint is done by tightening the first step to a given torque, First torque, and then releasing the load by turning the nut a specified Conditioning angle and then retightening the nut to its Target torque or Target angle.

The target torque can be lower than the torque reached during the first step after rundown. In order for the target torque to be lower than the first torque, set target torque (Tightening parameters > Tightening step > Final step > Target torque) to a value lower than First torque (Tightening parameters > Tightening step > First step > First torque).

If Angle is used as a target in the tightening program, the Target angle is measured from the position at the end of the loosening step (conditioning).

## Behavior of Measure torque at, and Measure angle to

The Max torque value and Value at peak torque measured under Result evaluation for Measure torque at and Measure angle to, respectively, represent the highest values measured over the entire tightening. This means that if the Target torque is set lower than the First torque, the Result evaluation value will be higher than the end value. In order to view the tightening's final value, both Measure torque at, and Measure angle to should be set to Value at shutoff.

Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
First torque | Torque during first step. | 80% of Target Torque
First speed | Tool speed during first step. | 50% of Tool max speed
Conditioning speed | Tool speed during the conditioning step. | 50% of Tool max speed
Conditioning angle | Angle to turn the socket during the conditioning step. | 180°

## Fine-Tuning the Three Step Strategy

When the First target is reached and the conditioning step is entered, the tool makes an immediate stop and reverse before it continues with the final step. This conditioning step may need to be fine-tuned to improve ergonomics for hand-held tools.

# STwrench

The STwrench is connected to a controller using a wireless connection and is configured through the controller GUI or the web GUI.

The STwrench is configured under the tightening menu in the same way as the other tightening strategies.

The STwrench has a Rapid Backup Unit (RBU). The RBU defines the wrench function and stores the tightening programs. The controller supports currently only the RBU of the type Production.

The STwrench End-fitting tool (socket) contains a RFID TAG with a programmable number. This wrench uses this number to automatically recognize the tool and which program that can be used. The RFID TAG also stores the torque and angle correction coefficients.

The STwrench has several programs both for production tightening and for quality control.

The STwrench can only support tightening programs supported by the tool (Wrench Production and Wrench Quality).

For more information about the STwrench, see the STwrench User Guide (printed matter number 9836 4134 01).

# Pulsing Tool Strategies

The strategy can be selected if the controller software version supports the tightening program. Pulsing tools can achieve a higher torque compared to normal rotating tools.

In this Section

- Impulse-Single Step Strategy
- TensorPulse Strategy

# Impulse-Single Step Strategy

The principle below is applicable for direct driven electrical tool. It is applicable to the Atlas Copco SRB series of tools.

After each pulse period the resulting torque in the screw is increased. After a series of pulses, the final torque target is reached.

TensorPulse with maximum pulse energy

A | Maximum positive energy in pulse N
B | Maximum positive energy in pulse N+1
C | Increase in energy (torque)

The energy level in the action phase and reaction phase are user configurable parameters. The combination of these two parameters creates an efficient tightening combined with operator comfort. It is possible to set the amount of energy in the two phases as a percentage of the maximum energy that can be delivered in each period:

- Pulse energy; The amount of energy that is applied to each positive pulse as a percentage of the maximum energy that can be applied in the pulse period. The value is between 10-100%.

- Reaction force retention factor; The amount of energy that is applied to each reactive pulse as a percentage of the maximum energy that can be applied in the pulse period. The value is between 0-75%.

TensorPulse with reduced positive pulse energy

A | Reduced positive energy in pulse N
B | Reduced positive energy in pulse N+1
C | Resulting curve for torque build up using maximum pulse energy.
D | Resulting curve for torque build up using reduced pulse energy.

- A small Pulse energy (reduced energy) requires more pulses to reach the target torque as the torque is increased in smaller steps. Smaller steps provides better accuracy to terminate the tightening when the target is reached. Smaller pulses decrease tool movement and increases operator comfort.

- A correctly tuned Reaction force retention factor will create the desired operator comfort. If the factor is too high the operator feels a clockwise rotation of the tool. If the factor is too low, the operator feels a counter clockwise rotation of the tool.

- In an ideal configuration, the reaction energy does not create any loosening force. If the amount of pulses to reach the target value increases, the value is set too high and a small loosening occurs at each pulse.

The optimum values for the Pulse energy and the Reaction force retention factor need to be tuned for optimum performance of the tool and for best operator comfort.

# TensorPulse Strategy

Before using TensorPulse tightening step, it is mandatory that the following license type is installed on the controller:

- Low Reaction Strategies

TensorPulse is valid only for the following tools: ETV-STR61-100-13, ETV-STR61-70-13 and ETV-STR61-50-10.

This step generates tightening pulses in the forward direction, until the torque target is reached.

If running TensorPulse tightening step, use the necessary PulseDrive socket/adapter.
If TensorPulse tightening step runs without the PulseDrive socket/adapter, all the tightenings are NOK. The step error “PulseDrive socket/adapter not detected” shows for no PulseDrive socket/adapter.

The principle below is applicable for direct driven electrical tools. It is applicable to the Atlas Copco SRB series of tools.

The pulse tightening uses a technique of pulsing the electrical current in the motor and has two distinct features:

- An action current that adds positive torque in the tightening direction.

- A reaction current that creates a comfort reaction by applying a reverse torque.

Pulse tightening principle

A | Action pulse to apply tightening force.
B | Reaction pulse for comfort

The figure shows the general principle of a current pulse tightening strategy. The detailed curve depends on the tool type and the tightening algorithm.

The pulse period consists of two phases as shown in the figure with an action current and a reaction current. Each action pulse adds torque to the tightening until the final target is reached. Each reaction pulse creates a counterforce that provides a comfortable reaction.

The energy level of the action phase and the reaction phase are configurable parameters. The combination of these two parameters creates an efficient tightening combined with operator comfort.

# Multistep Programs

WARNING

Risk of injury

A change in the configuration of the tightening program may cause unexpected torque, rotational direction, or speed in the system(s) where the tightening program is currently in use. This could result in severe bodily injury and/or property damage.

- Check the tightening program configurations after adding a new program or after applying changes to an existing program.

Controller features, such as the Low Reaction Tightening Strategies and controller-wide functions among others, require licenses distributed through the Functionality Management System (FMS). Whereas configuration of features is possible without specific licenses, the assignment and use of those features will require the correct license to be installed on the controller. Please refer to Licenses (FMS) for more detailed information on licenses.

A multistep tightening is a tightening done in several steps. The number of steps and the type of steps vary depending on the tightening to be done. A multistep tightening program is highly configurable, including monitoring function and restrictions. To access multistep tightening programs, go to the Tightening tab in the home view and select Multistep Program Library on the left pane.

# Multistep GUI

While multistep tightening programs can be selected from the controller display, editing programs can only be done in the web GUI.

Tightening and multistep programs that appear dimmed indicate that they are Global Programs distributed from ToolsTalk. These programs cannot be changed via the controller GUI. Global programs can only be modified through ToolsTalk. Refer to the ToolsTalk user documentation for more information.

The interface for mutistep programs can be divided into three main areas.

On top there is a drop-down menu containing the Properties of the multistep tightening program. Here general properties such as program name, overall program monitor and validation can be filled out.

To the right there are four tabs containing the steps, monitors, restrictions and reporters that can be used to build the multistep program. To use any of the items, click on the appropriate tab, and drag the item in the list to the tightening area. Depending on its function, either drop the item between the beginning and the end of the program (for steps), or on top of a particular step (for monitors and restrictions).

The main area of the interface is the tightening area. This is the area that includes all the steps in the tightening program. Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out on the tightening area.

At bottom left of the screen there is a Copy Tightening Program button and a Delete Tightening Program button.

# Tightening Steps

The availability of tightening steps, monitors and restrictions depends on the license installed on the controller.

## General Parameters

The following step parameters are common for many of the step types. The parameters are set in the step properties window which is displayed when selecting a step in the tightening program.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Name | Name of the step.
Rotational direction | Each of the tightening steps can run either forward, that is to make a tightening, or reverse, to loosen the screw slightly. The arrows indicate this direction. Many of the tightening steps have a direction hard-coded to forward, for example Tighten to Angle, or Tighten to Torque. Steps such as Loosen to Angle or Loosen to Torque have their direction automatically set to reverse. The reverse setting is not allowed for tools configured with Gear Front Attachment (GFA) of type open end. The tightening direction of the tightening program must be the same as the tightening direction of the open end tool for a tightening to be allowed to be run. It is possible to assign a loosening program to a tightening program for an open end tool, but if the direction switch is set to run the loosening program, the tool will be locked.
Step category | For each step, there is an option to choose a step category. By selecting step category, the NOK tightenings will be listed in the event result view with related detailed status together with the corresponding multistep error information. If no selection is made, the detailed status will be set to uncategorized multistep error. The related detailed status can be customized.
Angle window | A joint is considered Hard if the screw is tightened to its full torque and it rotates 30 degrees (or less) after it has been tightened to its snug point. A Soft joint rotates 720 degrees or more after it has been tightened to its snug point. The hardness parameter defines the Angle Window for the gradient calculation. The harder the joint - the smaller the angle window.
Speed Ramp / Acceleration (only available in ToolsTalk 2) | For most of the steps it is possible to specify how the acceleration to the target speed should be achieved. Three different settings are possible; Hard, Soft and Manual. The acceleration defined will be used whenever a step is started. Regardless whether the tool is already running with speed at the beginning of the step, the ramp will be used to accelerate to the target speed of the step. This will be the case even if the speed at the start of the step is higher, or lower than the target speed.
Speed ramp - Hard and Soft mode | Hard: 2000 rpm/s (Speed Ramp between 1000 and 10000 rpm/s is a Hard acceleration.) Soft: 500 rpm/s (Speed Ramp between 200 and 1000 rpm/s is a Soft acceleration.)
Speed ramp - Manual mode | Speed: Default value: 60 rpm Minimum limit: > 0 Maximum limit: ≤ Tool Max Speed Acceleration: Default value: 500 rpm/s Minimum limit: > 0 Maximum limit: ≤ Tool Max Acceleration
Using speed shifts | 1−5 angle triggers or torque triggers can be defined during a step, where the speed will shift. Within one step, all the speed shift triggers are based on the same property, that is either torque or angle. They cannot be mixed within one step. The Torque triggers and Angle triggers must be less than the step target, depending on the type of the step and the trigger type. The Torque trigger and Torque speed also validate against the Max torque and Max speed of the tool. A warning or error indicator occurs whenever the Speed Shift settings exceed either the tool max values, or step max values. The Torque triggers and Angle triggers must be less than the step target, depending on the type of the step and the trigger type. The Torque trigger and Torque speed also validate against the Max torque and Max speed of the tool. A warning or error indicator occurs whenever the Speed Shift settings exceed either the tool max values, or step max values. It is possible to push the settings to the tool when a tightening program has a warning, but not when a tightening program has an error (fault) indicator. The speed shifts can be added in the Configuration field. To add a speed shift: In the dialog box of a step that can have speed shifts, select Add speed shift. Then, select an angle range or a torque range. The Speed Shift Angle/Torque fields open. Add values according to the table below: Angle/Torque trigger: Must be > 0 Speed: Must be > 0 Speed ramp type: Hard or soft
Brake type | The braking behavior of a multistep tightening program can be controlled at two possible locations in the program: in a step preceding a reversal of direction of the tightening, and/or at the final step of the tightening program. At other locations in the tightening program, the braking parameters will not be available in the step's general settings. Braking can be set to either Ergo stop or Inertia. Inertia will brake the tool completely, while Ergo stop will allow for a more ergonomic slowing down of the tightening. Inertia has no additional parameters. Ergo stop parameters: Adaptive brake: Set the Adaptive Brake to On or Off Ramp time: Only available when Adaptive Brake is set to Off. Insert time in ms.
Exclude in MCT mode | The Exclude in MCT mode option can be turned on for steps in a Multistep program. When using the MCT mode for a Multistep program, steps with Exclude in MCT mode turned on will be excluded. Setting the Exclude in MCT mode option to on in such a way that there is no break before a wait step or direction switch will result in an error in runtime when in MCT mode. Termination Paths and Repair paths are ignored on fixtured systems, i.e. if they are triggered the tightening will be marked as NOK MC tightening. MCT mode is only to be used when testing. Make sure MCT mode is disabled before returning the tool to the production line.

The following tightening steps are not supported for tools configured with Gear Front Attachment (GFA) of type open end:

- A - Tighten to Angle / Loosen to Angle

- TrR - Loosen to Trigger Release

- T - Tighten to Torque / Loosen to Torque

- E - Engage

- SR - Socket Release

- IT - Impulse Tighten to Torque / Loosen to Torque

- IA - Impulse Tighten to Angle / Loosen to Angle

- AP - Adaptive Pulse

- ITrR - Impulse Loosen to Trigger Release

## Trace Settings

When the trace configuration is enabled on the program level, the trace resolution can be configured on step level. The setting for Trace Setting defines how the sampling should be done on each specific step.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Trace Setting | Program: Use the settings as defined on program level. Manual: The trace sample type from the program level will be used, that is, Time or Angle. Using a different sample rate will override the setting on the program level.
Sample Time | Choose the sample time from the drop-down list (0.25 - 1000 ms)
Sample Angle | Choose the sample angle from the drop-down list (0.25 - 20 degree)

With this trace recording the sample rates will not be the same in all the steps, instead the sample rate depends on the configuration in each step. This means the trace is divided into one trace for each step.

The maximum number of samples in a trace is 4096.

If a tightening produce more than 4096 values a down-sampling will take place. This is done by removing every second trace sample from the whole tightening and when continue the recording with half the resolution. This process will be repeated every time the 4096 sample limit is reached.

If more than 2048 in total was recorded, this process will result in a trace between 2048 and 4096 samples.

If the limit if 4096 samples is reached the configured trace sample times will no longer be followed. Instead the sample times will be doubled or quadrupled etc., depending on how many times the down sampling has taken place. Since all steps are down sampled the relation between the steps will still be the same though. If a step was configured with double sample time compared to another step, this will still be the case in the final trace regardless how many times a down-sampling has occurred.

# Ext - External Result

Tools
ES STR SL ST SR QST STB IXB BCP BCV External Tool

External result is a strategy used when an OK tightening is indicated by an external digital signal (and not by torque or angle values measured during tightening). This external signal can be provided through any means that can provide a digital signal into the controller (e.g through the I/O bus).

When the signal is sent, the result view (logged data) will show the value of the Target parameter provided in the tightening program (specified torque value, angle value, or text string). These (torque and angle) values do not represent actual measured values, but only inserted text.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Torque <Target torque> | Numerical value for desired displayed target torque value. A signal could for example come from a Click Wrench and display <Target torque>.
Angle <Target angle> | Numerical value for desired displayed target angle value. A signal could for example come from a Click Wrench and display <Target angle>.
Text | Alphanumerical string for desired displayed text. For example: "Oil has been changed".

# RD – Rundown

Tools
ES STR SL ST SR QST IXB

Rundown step is the part of the tightening from when the screw enters the thread until just before the screw head touches the underlying surface and snug point is reached. The torque required during rundown does not contribute to any clamping force.

This step runs the tool with the speed in the forward direction, and depending on the Rundown Type, Torque or Snug the step behavior is as follows:

Rundown Type: To Torque: The step stops when the specified target torque is found.

Rundown Type: To Snug: The snug gradient calculation starts at the specified torque trigger level Tt. If no torque trigger is set the gradient calculation is started at the start of the step.

The slope calculation is made between two angle points Ad degrees apart and is calculated as: (Tn – Tn-1) / (An – An-1) and as soon as two slopes after each other are larger than TSLOPE the snug point is found.

# TPT - TensorPulse Tighten to Torque / Loosen to Torque

Tools
STR IXB

Before using TensorPulse tightening/loosening step, it is mandatory that the following license type is installed on the controller:

- Low Reaction Strategies

TensorPulse is valid only for the following tools: ETV-STR61-100-13, ETV-STR61-70-13, ETV-STR61-50-10, ITB-P.

This step is not supported for tools configured with Gear Front Attachment (GFA) of type open end or closed end.

TensorPulse Tighten to Torque

This step generates tightening pulses in the forward direction, until the torque target is reached.

TensorPulse Loosen to Torque

This step generates tightening pulses in the backward direction, until torque is below torque target.

If running TensorPulse tightening/loosening step, use the necessary PulseDrive socket/adapter.
If TensorPulse tightening/loosening step runs without the PulseDrive socket/adapter, all the tightenings are NOK. The step error “PulseDrive socket/adapter not detected” shows for no PulseDrive socket/adapter.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Torque Target - Ts | Torque Target must range from 0 through the maximum torque of the tool.
Pulse Energy - Pe | Pulse Energy is used to control the amount of energy/current in each pulse. Pulse Energy must range from 10% through 100 %. By default, it is set to 100%.
Reaction Force Tuning Factor | Reaction Force Tuning Factor is used to tune the reaction force when running TensorPulse step. It is the power that moves the tool in the opposite direction after each pulse. High tuning factor makes high reaction force and high pulse frequency; low tuning factor makes low reaction force and low pulse frequency. Reaction Force Tuning Factor must range from 0 through 100 %. By default, it is set to 40%.

In the trace, the angle reversal means that the tool rotates backward to enable pulsing, but the bolt head does not necessarily rotate backward because of the PulseDrive socket/adapter.

# TTC - Tighten to Clutch

# Y – Tighten to Yield

Tools
ES STR SL ST SR QST IXB

This strategy runs the tool with the speed in the forward direction until the yield point is detected. The yield point is found by monitoring the torque gradient from the point where the torque goes above the Trigger Torque level, calculated based on Torque and Angle distance measurements. The Angle distance parameter is set according to the specified hardness of the joint.

Set the Gradient angle window (for hard joint, for soft joint or for manually setting of the Angle window). If Manual is selected, the Angle Window must be set. A joint is considered Hard if the screw is tightened to its full torque and it rotates 30 degrees or less after it has been tightened to its snug point. A Soft joint rotates 720 degrees or more after it has been tightened to its snug point. The hardness parameter defines the Angle Window for the gradient calculation. The harder the joint - the smaller the angle window.

# PrT - Prevailing Torque

Tools
ES STR SL ST SR QST STB IXB

The monitor calculates the prevailing torque value in the Window Length and checks that it is between the Torque limits. The Angle Window starts at the angle degrees set in Start Angle in reverse direction from the shut-off point. This then spans for the angle degrees set in Angle Window Length in reverse direction. If Start Angle is left blank the angle window starts at the shut-off point. The calculated prevailing torque value is the mean or peak torque value (depending on the parameter set by the user) during the Window Length. The calculated value is saved as result data Prevailing Torque Measured. If Torque compensation is set to On, the Prevailing Torque Measured will be subtracted from all torque result values in consecutive steps. Any previously calculated prevailing torque compensation values will no longer be subtracted from torque result values. If Torque compensation is set to Off, no subtraction will be made in consecutive steps.

If the total angle of the step is less than the Start Angle plus Window Length, then the monitor will report NOK.

Prevailing torque can be measured as an average of measured values, or at peak torque. To choose between these two modes, set the Use Value parameter to either Mean torque (for average values), or Peak torque (for peak value).

# SSD - Stick Slip Detection

Tools
ES STR SL ST SR QST IXB

This step monitor detects and reports stick slip effects during a step. The detection is done by counting the number of times the torque falls below the Trigger Level. If the number of times is larger than Maximum Number of Oscillations then the stick slip error is reported. The monitor operates in two different modes, Dynamic or Fixed. The difference between the modes is the way that the Trigger level is calculated.

Dynamic Torque: Trigger Level is dynamically calculated as Peak Torque Percentage of the current max torque, which has been achieved so far during the monitoring. The monitoring is started as soon as the torque passes the Trigger Torque.

Fixed Torque: Trigger Level is the fixed Trigger Torque specified by the user. In this mode the percentage is not needed.

If the torque never reaches the Trigger Torque then the monitoring is not started, this will result in status NOK.

# Step Restrictions

The availability of tightening steps, monitors and restrictions depends on the license installed on the controller.

To make sure the tightening stops if something unexpected happens, it is possible to add step restrictions to the multistep tightening program. These restrictions could, for example, test that a maximum torque is not reached or that a part of the multistep tightening does not take too long to run. Each step has its own set of mandatory step restrictions and optional step restrictions. The mandatory restrictions are included when dragging a new step to the multistep program. All steps can have up to four restrictions each.

For synchronized tightening in Power Focus 6000 and Power Focus 8, it is possible to use synchronization points in the tightening program. When any condition that is set for a restriction is met, the tool will be stopped immediately and the program jumps to the next synchronization point (only valid when using synchronized tightening in Power Focus 6000, Power Focus 8, and Flex), or the end of the program. In controllers without synchronized tightening the tool is stopped immediately and the program jumps to the end of the program.

For Flex only:

For each restriction, select Repairable = Yes to allow retry when tightening stops.

The following restrictions are automatically added to every step that is added to the multistep tightening program.

Default step restrictions
Step Restriction | Applicable steps

This restriction is only available for the following tools:

- ETV-STR61-100-13

- ETV-STR61-70-13

- ETV-STR61-50-10

- ITB-P

Before using the Pulse Count restriction, the Low Reaction Strategies license must be installed on the controller.

This restriction gives a limit to the number of pulses, and makes sure that those are below the specified pulse count high limit.
If the measured number of pulses is higher than the pulse count high limit, the tool is stopped immediately and the program goes to the next synchronization point or the end of the program.
If the torque trigger level is set, the check starts as soon as the measured torque is above the torque trigger level.

If running a tightening step with Pulse Count High step restriction, use the necessary PulseDrive socket/adapter.
If the tightening step runs without the PulseDrive socket/adapter, all the tightenings are NOK. The step error “PulseDrive socket/adapter not detected” shows for no PulseDrive socket/adapter.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Pulse Count High Limit - n+ | Pulse count high limit must range from 1 through 9999999. Pulse Count High Limit text box can be empty.
Torque Trigger - Tt | Torque Trigger must range from 0 through the maximum torque of the tool. Torque Trigger text box can be empty.

If the measured torque drops below the condition of the restriction the tool is stopped immediately and the program jumps to the next synchronization point (for Power Focus 6000 Synchronized Tightening and Power Focus 8 Synchronized Tightening), or the end of the program.

- Torque control processes
  The restriction condition is the measured torque. For the restriction to be active the torque must first exceed 110 % of the Rescinding Torque Limit.

- Angle control processes
  This restriction checks the maximum torque reached during the restriction. For the restriction to be active the torque must first exceed the Trigger Torque.

# Result Reporters

The result reporters makes it possible to extract specific values of selected producer from the result. The result reporters belong to a step but has to be tied to the monitor/restriction which they read the values from. Only monitors or restrictions located in the same step as the result reporter can be selected. A result reporter is added to a step using drag and drop (in the same way as monitors and restrictions). Each result reporter is responsible for reporting a specific result value, for example, Rundown Angle, Final Torque, Prevailing Torque.

It is possible to tie a result reporter to:

- Program monitors

- Step monitors

- Step restrictions

Each result reporter defines a final value type:

- Final Angle

- Final Torque

- Prevailing Torque

- Self-tap Torque

- Current

- Rundown Angle

- Number of Pulses

## General Parameters

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Producer | Specifies which monitor/restriction produces the value.
Value | Specifies which value to show from the selected producer.

Limitations:

- It is only possible to add a result reporter on a monitor/restriction belonging to a step in main path or a program monitor/program restriction.

- There may exist several reporters on a step if they are of different type.

- There may exist a result reporter of, for example, type final angle on every step and program monitor angle.

- For those monitor/restrictions that have more than one result value, it is possible to add more than one result reporter if the result reporters are of different types.

- There may not exist several result reporters of the same type on a step or on a program monitor/restriction.

- There is only one result reported for each possible final value type.

Rules:

- The internal number of a result item has to be the same as for the corresponding result reporter.

- The internal number of a monitor/restriction result has to be the same as the internal number of the monitor/restriction in the configuration.

- The step results has to be ordered according to the order of execution. The first executed step has to be first.

Possible values reported by a result reporter if present in the monitor/restriction/step:

- The monitors/restrictions measured value (as float or integer)

- The monitors/restrictions high and low limits

- Status

- Torque trigger and angle trigger

- Angle target and torque target (read from the step)

Possible values for status:

- Low

- OK

- High

- Other

- NotSet

The target values do not belong to any step monitor so the target values are taken from the step that the monitor belongs to.

# STB Tools and Multistep

Due to the wireless nature of STB tools, some multistep functions and behaviors may differ. Besides the general limitations listed here, descriptions of multistep functions will be additional information on STB tools where necessary.

## Program Validation

All tightening programs will be validated for compatibility with STB tools before the program is downloaded to the tool. If the chosen tightening program is not compatible with the tool, the tool will be locked. When this error occurs, it will trigger event 5030, "Configuration complexity exceeded".

To unlock the tool, reduce the complexity of the tightening program, or choose a different tightening program altogether.

# Tightening Program Configuration - General Parameters

Changes made to tightening programs in any section need to be actively applied by clicking the Apply button in the bottom right corner of the GUI. Alternatively, changes can be undone by clicking the Undo button in the same location.

When navigating away from the section where changes have been made (by using the Back, Home or Result button), the user will be presented with a warning pop-up where the changes can also be applied or undone. The user cannot proceed without applying or undoing changes.

The general tightening program settings is used to set up and manage the tightening programs by naming tightening programs, to make general tightening settings such as selecting tightening strategy, Manual or Quick prog mode, and to set the tightening program target value.

For more information about tightening parameters, see Start Stage, Rundown Stage, Tightening Strategies, and Stop Stage.

# Name

Use the Name field to give the tightening program a name. This name will be stored with the tightening results and sent to ToolsNet (if applicable). The name can be maximum of 32 characters long.

# Strategy

Strategy sets the tightening strategy to be used with the tightening program.

For more information about the available strategies and the relevant parameters, see Tightening Programs.

# Target

The Quick step, Two step, and Three step strategies enable the choice of tightening towards either a Target torque or a Target angle value. When TurboTight is activated, only the Target torque option is available.

# Time Monitoring (elapsed time)

Time monitoring is available for all tightening strategies except Rotate. Time monitoring can be activated when angle limits are activated. Time monitoring is available for the rundown step and the final step of the tightening step.

To minimize the risk of unexpected jerk at the end of the tightening when using the TurboTight tightening strategy, make sure to activate Time monitoring.

Since handling the trace takes time, there is always a short difference between the Program elapsed time compared to Step elapsed time . This is especially noticeable in programs containing only one step.

When using an STB tool it is not possible to use time monitoring if all monitoring options are switched on.

# Attachment Tuning

Attachment tuning gives the possibility to compensate for front attachments on the tool. The compensation can be made for each tightening program.

An operator can hot swap an attachment and then select a tightening program tuned for that specific attachment.

Attachment tuning is available for all conventional strategies except for the STwrench.

1. In Tightening program settings, set Attachment tuning enabled to Yes

2. Click on Tightening parameters > Edit

3. Click on the start step.

4. Under Attachment tuning, set Use attachment tuning to Yes

5. Set the necessary parameters for Gear ratio and Efficiency tuning (see table below).

Parameters for Attachment tuning
Attachment tuning | Description | Default
--- | --- | ---
Attachment gear ratio | The Attachment gear ratio is needed to compensate the angle. Minimum: 0.5 Maximum: 100 Socket rotation speed = Tool speed / gear ratio | 1.0
Efficiency tuning | Attachment gear ratio combined with the Efficiency tuning is needed to compensate the torque. Minimum: 0.5 Maximum: 1.0 For example 0.9 means 10% efficiency loss. | 1.0

# Working with the Batch Sequence Tab

Controller features, such as the Low Reaction Tightening Strategies and controller-wide functions among others, require licenses distributed through the Functionality Management System (FMS). Whereas configuration of features is possible without specific licenses, the assignment and use of those features will require the correct license to be installed on the controller. Please refer to Licenses (FMS) for more detailed information on licenses.

Batch sequences are used to perform a specified number of tightenings in a specific order. Each batch sequence is given a name.

In this Section

- Batch Sequence Settings
- Batch Configuration

# Batch Sequence Settings

A batch sequence can consist of up to 99 batches, with a batch size of up to 250 tightenings. The batches in a batch sequence are carried out in the order listed, or by using a Socket selector to choose which batch to run.

Batch settings parameters
Parameter name | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Lock tool on Batch sequence compl. | 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 performing tightenings. Off: After completion, the batch sequence is ready to be repeated. | On
Free order | No: The configured batches will be executed in the order listed, provided they have been configured to perform tightenings. If socket has been specified, the system will prompt for the socket when the batch is to be performed. Yes: The configured batches can be executed in any order. The operator must indicate to the system which batch is to be executed by using a Socket selector. A batch is regarded as complete when all joints have been completed. | No
Increment on NOK | Makes it possible to increment the batch counter value even though the tightening is reported as NOK. For Max consecutive NOK to work (the maximum number of times a single bolt can be tightenened), Increment on NOK must be set to No. Setting this parameter to Yes, will allow the sequence to move on to the next tightening. | No
Max consecutive NOK | Maximum consecutive not OK tightenings (NOK) are a defined maximum allowed number of NOK consecutive tightenings in a batch. If the Max consecutive NOK number is reached, the event Too many NOK tightenings (4020) is displayed. | 0
Decrement on loosening | Decrements the counter within the currently active batch. Completed batched cannot be decremented. Never: The setting is off. Counter is not decremented when loosening is performed in the active batch. Always: The batch counter is decremented when a loosening is performed. When last tightening was OK: If the preceding tightening was OK, the batch counter is decremented when a loosening is performed. | Never
Sequence abort timer | On: The selected batch sequence can be aborted within a specified time limit Off: The selected batch sequence cannot be aborted. | Off
Abort time (10-600) | The number of seconds during which the selected batch sequence can be aborted. | 10

# Batch Configuration

A batch is set up to perform a specified number of consecutive tightenings using the same tightening program. Batches must have tightening program and batch size specified in order to run.

Batch configuration parameters
Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Tightening program | The tightening program to use with the batch.
Batch size | Number of tightenings the batch will perform. Max. number of tightenings in one batch is 250. Batch size 0 will give the batch an infinite number of tightenings.
Identifier number | When using a Socket selector, this is the socket position used to activate the batch.

# Working with the Sources Tab

External signals used as tasks for tightenings are configured in the Sources menu. Sources are accessories or similar connected to a virtual station. Two types of source tasks are available:

- Source Tightening task

- Source Batch task

Source Tightening is used to select a single tightening program.

Source Batch is used to select a batch sequence, a series of tightening programs.

In this Section

- Source Tightening
- Source Batch Sequence

# Source Tightening

The tightening menu shows a list of source tightening configurations. To link separate lists to a virtual station, go to the Virtual Station tab, select the virtual station in question on the left pane and, on the Task window, select Choose task. There, a Source can be chosen as a task. Source tightenings link a specific tightening program to an identifier number. When the identifier number is sent to the controller (either by external digital signal, or, in cases where a socket selector is used, by lifting the corresponding socket in the selector) the linked program will run according to the source tightening configuration. It can either run repeatedly, or as a batch with a batch size configured either in the source tightening list or set dynamically by an external system.

Source Tightening lists can be set either in Control or Confirm mode.

- In Control mode, an external source selects a tightening program by requesting an identifier number. In case of a socket selector, the identifier number is linked to a corresponding socket in the socket selector, and the tightening program is selected by lifting the socket.

- In Confirm mode, the socket selector cannot be used as a controlling source. In this mode identifier numbers are linked to both a tightening program and a specific socket (indicated in an additional column in the list). When an identifier number is requested (by an external signal), the corresponding socket is prompted in the socket selector and the tightening program is activated when the operator lifts the socket (other sockets are disabled). If no socket is specified (that is, set to 0 in the Socket column), the tightening program is activated directly and the socket status is ignored.

POWER FOCUS 8 can store up to 250 sources.

# Configuring a Source Tightening

Changes made to tightening programs in any section need to be actively applied by clicking the Apply button in the bottom right corner of the GUI. Alternatively, changes can be undone by clicking the Undo button in the same location.

When navigating away from the section where changes have been made (by using the Back, Home or Result button), the user will be presented with a warning pop-up where the changes can also be applied or undone. The user cannot proceed without applying or undoing changes.

1. On the home view, go to the Sources tab and select Tightening on the left pane.

2. Select the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.

3. Give the Source Tightening a name and select the correct Selector mode (Control or Confirm, depending on what is required).

4. By default, only one editable Identifier number will be available when creating a new Source Tightening. At the bottom of the screen, select the plus icon to add more.

5. Give every item an identifier number

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

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

# Source Tightening Properties

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Name | The name issued to the source tightening.
Selector mode | Control: An external source selects a tightening program by requesting an identifier number. The identifier number is linked to a corresponding socket in the socket selector, and by lifting the socket the tightening program is selected. Confirm: The socket selector cannot be used as a controlling source. In this mode identifier numbers are linked to both a tightening program and a specific socket (indicated in an additional column in the list). When an identifier number is requested (by an external signal), the corresponding socket is prompted in the socket selector and the tightening program is activated when the operator lifts the socket (other sockets are disabled). If no socket is specified (that is, set to 0 in the Socket column), the tightening program is activated directly and the socket status is ignored.
Max consecutive NOK per program | On: The batch counter increments even when a tightening operation fails. Off: Set Max consecutive NOK for the tightening. The batch will only advance if a successful tightening is performed.
Max consecutive NOK | Set the number of consecutive NOK results to be allowed. If the value is set to 0, there is no check performed for NOK tightenings. When reaching max consecutive NOK, the tool locks and the sequence execution is halted.
Batch control | Select how the source tightening is to be executed. The available options are: No batch control Running the selected tightening program repeatedly. Internal batch control For each program in the Identifier selector configuration section, set the batch size to be used when that program is selected. External batch control External systems can set the batch size using either Open Protocol or Fieldbus. The batch size must be set by an external system; if not set when a program is selected, the tool will be locked. When batch control is Internal or External, source tightening can be configured to: Lock tool on batch sequence completion When enabled, the tool automatically locks upon reaching the specified batch size. Increment on NOK When enabled, the batch counter increments for both successful and failed tightenings. External: Configure how many times a source tightening should be executed by using Open protocol or an external protocol. Any configuration change clears the source tightening 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.
Use Joint IDs | Source tightening can be configured to attach a Joint ID to each result, enhancing traceability in data analysis software like ToolsNet. When Use Joint IDs is enabled, you can configure a Joint ID for each program in the Identifier Selector Configuration section. Empty Joint ID No Joint ID will be assigned to results from this selected program. Joint ID when not running batch The configured Joint ID will be attached to each result when the program is selected. If the program runs multiple times, it will use the same joint ID for all iterations. Joint ID when running batch Joint ID behavior varies based on its format. If the joint ID does not end with a number, the same joint ID is used for all tightenings in the batch. If the joint ID ends with a number, The number increments with each increase of the batch counter. The joint ID's ending number may not match the batch counter. Example: If the initial joint ID ends with 5, after two tightenings: The batch counter will be 2. The joint ID will end with 7.

# Source Batch Sequence

To access to the Source Batch configuration, go to the Sources tab on the home view and select Batch Sequence on the left pane.

The controller can be configured to select a batch sequence based on either an identifier number or an identifier string.

Input | Description
--- | ---
Identifier number | The number must be a positive integer number that can originate from an accessory or from an external control entity.
Identifier string | The string must consist of ASCII characters and can originate from a scanner or from an external control entity.

- Configuring Significant Positions to Read in Barcode String
- Combining Identifier Strings

# Creating a Source Batch

1. On the home view, go to the Sources tab and select Batch sequence on the left pane.

2. Select the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.

3. Give the new Source Batch a name

4. Set the Abort on new identifier to Yes if scanning a new identifier string should abort the previous scan.

5. Select the Identifier method (string for text, or number for numerical strings).

6. Set Free order to On if the strings should be able to be scanned in any order.

   Identifier strings can be made up of up to 4 different strings. When Free order is set to Off, the strings need to be scanned in a specific order for the system to recognize the string.

7. If required, add an identifier string by selecting the plus icon in the Identifier string configuration section.

8. Select the Name label for the identifier string you want to change the properties of, a pop-up window will appear. The following properties can be indicated per string:

   - Name: the name of the string

   - Length: the length of the string. See Combining Identifier Strings for more information on concatenating strings.

   - Significant positions: these are used to specify which characters in the barcode string to read when putting together the string to match with your pre-defined string. The number of significant positions must match the number of characters in the pre-defined strings.

   - Saved positions: these indicate which parts of each string are used when the Source Batch is saved, and how they are represented in the log. Indicate in this field the positions in the string that need to be saved. Positions can constitute only parts of the entire string. If the field is left empty, the entire (concatenated) string will be saved. The table below shows some examples of saved position combinations.

     Saved position values are comma-separated (without spaces), and ranges are indicated using a hyphen.

   Identifier string | Positions
   --- | ---
   String 1: 1234567 | 1-7
   String 2: abcdef | 8-13
   String 3: GHIJKL | 14-19
   String 4: 890 | 20-22

   Saved position examples
   Saved positions | Saved results
   --- | ---
   (empty) | 1234567abcdefGHIJKL890
   1-3,9,11,15,20-22 | 123bdH890
   8-12,1-7,19,20-21 will be changed automatically to: 1-12,19-21 | 1234567abcdeL89

   The ID field in the string properties window cannot be altered, it can only be used to navigate between the different strings.

   An error may occur when Free order is set to On, and the lengths of the different strings are duplicated. The scanned sequence will then not activate a tightening program. To avoid this error, set Free order to Off, or adjust the string lengths.

9. Select Edit.

10. In the Edit window, indicate which strings (in the String contains column) should be linked to which Batch sequence (in the Activates column). Click the plus icon at the bottom to add more strings.

    Wildcards can be used when typing the "string contains". The wildcards can be used at any position in the string. No Batch sequence is activated in case of an ambiguous matching result.

    The wildcard is a . (period)

# Configuring Significant Positions to Read in Barcode String

The positions in the barcode string are associated with a number between 1 and 1024. The first position of the string is 1 and the last is 1024.

The significant positions must be specified following the rules described in the table below. Barcode strings:
Description | Significant positions | Valid configuration | Barcode string to match with pre-defined string
--- | --- | --- | ---
Significant positions in order | 1,2,3,7,8 | Ok | ABCGH
Significant positions in optional order | 7,1,2,3,8 | Ok | GABCH
Range of numbers | 1–3,7-8 | Ok | ABCGH

# Combining Identifier Strings

The identifier string that is used for matching is a combination of up to four strings from a factory management system or up to four scanner inputs that need to be combined into one string.

The Add and Delete buttons manage how many strings are combined. The following parameters are available:

Parameters for combining identifier strings
Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Name | The string must be given a name.
Length | The length of the string must be known and must be entered. This is important to be able to combine the correct string identifier.
Significant positions | The comma-separated positions or ranges (separated by hyphen) in the combined string that are used for matching.
Saved positions | The comma-separated positions or ranges in the strings that will be saved in the result.

If more than one identifier string is to be used, perform the following steps:

1. Select the Add button to create a new entry on the table.

2. Give the string a name.

3. Enter the length of the string.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for every string to be added. Up to four strings can be combined.

The Start-End parameters in each row define the individual string positions in the combined string identifier that will be used in the next step of the matching process.

Performing a task selection process using an identifier string as an input:

1. Define which positions in the string are to be activated.

2. Enter the significant positions to define which positions in the identifier string will be used for the matching. The positions must be either comma-separated, or by range.

In this Section

- Preparing the Calibration
- Calibrating the Tool
- QA Calibration
- Calibrating a Tool Through the STa6000 or STpad

# Preparing the Calibration

1. Make sure the tool and controller are set up to perform tightening.

2. Set up the tool with a torque reference transducer (such as the STa6000, STpad or JSB Bench).

   Refer to the torque reference transducer User Guide for set-up instructions.

3. Select a Tightening program with a target torque corresponding to a tightening normally used with your tool.

   See Basic Tightening setup for a tutorial on setting up and activating a suitable tightening program.

# Calibrating the Tool

The calibration value used for the tool is calculated from the torque readings read from the controller, and the torque reference transducer through the equation below:

New calibration value = Old calibration value × Mean (Reference values / Controller values)

1. On the home view, go to the Tool tab and select the tool to be calibrated. Then, go to the Calibration window.

2. Take note the old calibration value found in the Calibration value text box.

   If the calibration value is adjusted by more than 10%, a confirmation prompt is displayed as the change may significantly impact the accuracy and performance of the system.

3. Make at least three tightenings and use the torque values read from the controller and the reference transducer (ACTA or similar) for calculating the mean torque values.

4. Calculate the new calibration value using the New calibration value equation.

5. Store the new calibration value in the tool memory by entering the calculated value in the Calibration value text box and selecting Apply.

After calibration is completed, perform a tightening to verify that the new values are correct.

# QA Calibration

1. On the home view, go to the Tool tab and select QA Calibration on the left pane.

2. Modify the parameters on the QA Calibration window and select Apply to implement the changes.

   Parameter | Description
   --- | ---
   Enable | ON: Enables the external tool configuration option OFF: Disables the external tool configuration option.
   Virtual station | Select the ellipsis icon to connect the tool to a virtual station.
   Connection type | Connect via TCP port or Connect via COM port.
   COM port | Visible when Connection type COM port is selected. Shows a drop-down list with the available COM ports.
   TCP port | Visible when Connection type TCP port is selected. Shows the TCP port, pre-populated.

# Calibrating a Tool Through the STa6000 or STpad

## Connecting the STa6000/STpad

The STa6000/STpad can be connected to the controller in two ways:

- Connecting the STa6000

Connection | Remarks
--- | ---
COM port | Connect the Atlas Copco USB to Serial adapter to the controller's USB port using the ACTA Serial cable. Connect the STa6000 to the Serial Adapter using a USB cable.
Ethernet port | Connect the ethernet cable between the STa6000 and the controller's Factory Ethernet port, or the factory network.

- Connecting the STpad

Connection | Remarks
--- | ---
COM port | Connect the STpad to the Controller's COM port using the ACTA Serial cable.
Ethernet port | Connect the ethernet cable between the STa6000 and the controller's Factory Ethernet port, or the factory network.

## Performing the QA Calibration through the STa6000 or STpad

1. Make sure the tool is connected and assigned to a virtual station on the controller.

   Single tightening programs cannot be used for calibration purposes. Make sure a batch program is selected.

2. On the home view, go to the Tool tab and select QA Calibration on the left pane. Then, set QA Calibration to On.

3. Select the virtual station the tool to be calibrated is connected to, and select the connection type to be used (TCP of COM port).

   Note that the default port for communication is 4561

4. Connect the STa6000/STpad to the controller, and select the correct virtual station.

5. Start the calibration from the STa6000/STpad.

   The STa6000/STpad requests controller information, including tool information and tightening program.

6. Execute the tightening. When the calibration device detects a tightening, it requests the tightening result from the controller.

7. Repeat the above step until all tightenings in the batch have been executed.

   Once completed, the STa6000/STpad creates a report, as well as calculate a new calibration value for the tool.

8. Select Store in the STa6000/STpad to send the new calibration value to the controller, which in turn writes it to the tool.

During calibration, if the tightening program is changed, or the sequence/batch is updated, the calibration is terminated.

There is no limit in the batch size used for calibration purposes. However, the STa6000 can only display two digits as batch size. Thus, the counter on the Sta6000 reads 00 for 100.

After calibration is completed, perform a tightening to verify that the new values are correct.

# Tool Diagnostics

In Diagnostics it is possible to run:

- Sensor tracking

- Diagnostic tests

## Sensor tracking

To diagnose a tool, the angle or torque sensor, it is possible to start a Sensor tracking session in the Tool menu. A Sensor tracking session has a time out of 20 minutes. A warning is shown 5 minutes before timeout and it is then possible to extend the session or to stop it.

Sensor tracking is only possible for cable tools.

It is only possible to start one Sensor tracking session for each tool and controller at a time.

Start a sensor tracking session

1. In the HOME window select Tool.

2. Select Cable Tool and Sensor Tracking in Diagnostics.

3. Turn On Start sensor tracking.

4. Tool angle, torque and speed are shown.

Sensor tracking information
Tool angle | How much the tool has turned since the sensor tracking session started or since the last reset.
Torque | Readout: the instantaneous value for the torque. Peak value: the highest measured torque value since the sensor tracking session started or since the last reset.
Speed | Readout: the instantaneous value for the speed. Peak value: the highest measured speed value since the sensor tracking session started or since the last reset.

## Diagnostic tests

To find out if a tool works correctly it is possible to do a diagnostic tests of the tool. The type of test that can be run depends on which tool is connected. Three different types of tests can be run:

- Automatic production test: No action is required from the user.

- Manual tests with no acknowledgment: The user has to do some tasks during the test.

- Manual tests with acknowledgment: The user has to monitor and give feedback on the tool´s behavior.

It is only possible to start one diagnostic test for each tool and controller at a time.

When the diagnostic test is started the session is locked for other clients. A diagnostic test session has a time out of 20 minutes. A warning is shown 5 minutes before timeout and it is then possible to extend the session or to stop it.

Diagnostic test information

Shunt value (1-100) | Maximum allowed measured shunt calibration value in %.
Shunt drift value (1-100) | Maximum allowed change in measured shunt calibration value in %.
Zero offset value (1-50) | Maximum allowed Zero offset compensation in %.
Zero offset drift value (2-100) | Maximum allowed change in the zero offset compensation in %.

# Zero Position

This configuration makes a system always return to the original start position for each tightening or sequence. Zero Position is set for each tool separately for both handheld and fixtured. Zero position sets the current position of the tool. It is not possible to set Zero Position during an ongoing tightening or sequence.

Set a zero position:

1. In the home view select Tool.

2. Select Cable Tool and then Zero Position in the right menu.

3. Select SET. The current position of the tool will be set as Zero Position.

# Tool Motor Tuning

A motor tuning adjusts the tool’s motor control unit to optimize the performance and minimize loss.

For cable tools a motor tuning should be performed on each specific combination of controller and tool together. STB tools can be moved to another controller without the need to perform a new motor tuning.

Before performing the motor tuning, make sure the tool is connected to a virtual station and that the controller is set up to perform tightening.

The motor tuning takes approximately 1 minute to perform and rotates the spindle in both clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) directions before it is finished.

For tools configured with open end Gear Front Attachment (GFA), remove the open end extension from the tool before performing the motor tuning.

## Performing tool motor tuning

1. On the home view, go to the Tool tab, select the tool to be motor tuned and go to Motor tuning.

2. Select Perform, and then press the trigger on the tool.

3. Select OK to start the Motor tuning.

   Follow the instructions on the screen and keep pressing the tool trigger until the motor tuning is done.

   - If the motor tuning is successful, an OK event is displayed.

   - If the motor tuning is not successful, or the tool trigger was released before the motor tuning is done, an NOK event is displayed.

# Unpair Bluetooth Connection

To unpair the tool from the controller, select Perform. The tool must be paired again over Bluetooth to reconnect.

# Front End Configuration

Configure the tool to use the correct front end attachment.

1. Go to Tool in the home menu and select Cable Tool > Front End Configuration.

2. Select the Front End Type.

   If Open End is selected, the following parameters can be set.

   Before using the Gear Front Attachment (GFA) - whether Open End or Closed End - ensure that the tool head and tool body are properly assembled and configured. Failure to do so may result in damage to the mechanical stop in the head, especially for the Open End type, if the tool operates in the wrong direction.

   Settings | Description
   --- | ---
   Reversed rotation direction | Indicates the rotation direction. Yes: Reversed No: Not reversed (Default)
   Tightening direction | CW: Default Tightening direction set to clockwise. CCW Tightening direction set to counterclockwise.
   Positioning limit | Manual Set the Torque positioning limit. Auto: Default Torque positioning limit automatically set to 2% of maximum torque but at least 2 Nm.

3. Select Apply to set up the configuration. The tool will restart.

## Perform Open End tuning

The Open End tuning function is available for tools configured with Open End Gear Front Attachment (GFA). The function calculates the true gear ratio of both the tool and the extension combined, and saves it to the tool. The tuning will take approximately two minutes to perform.

When the Open End tuning is completed the tool must be calibrated with the Open End extension attached.

1. Select Perform and then press the trigger on the tool.

2. Follow the instructions on the screen and keep pressing the tool trigger until the Open End tuning is completed.

   - If the Open End tuning was successful an OK event will be displayed.

   - If the Open End tuning was not successful, or the tool trigger was released before the tuning was finished, an NOK event will be displayed.

# WLAN and Bluetooth for Wireless Tools

# Working with the Virtual Station Tab

Virtual stations are configured in the Virtual Station menu.

A virtual station is a software abstraction of a physical station and can be set up to use a specific tool and remotely execute different tasks using the tool.

In POWER FOCUS 8, it is possible to set up a number of 20 virtual stations per controller. Each virtual station can be connected to one tool and one or more accessories.

By using virtual stations, the operator can operate multiple tools and run different tasks using the same controller. It is possible to connect one cable tool and multiple STB tools simultaneously to the controller.

When configuring different tools, make sure the selected start signal in Start source matches the selected tool and that the selected task can be run on the specific tool.

Before any tightening can begin a task must be selected in the virtual stations menu. A task is of one of three types:

- Tightening program

- Batch sequence

- Sources

The selection can be made manually by the operator or by external signals.

# Configuring the Task Window in a Virtual Station

Selected tasks can either be running a tightening program, running a batch sequence or enabling a task using a source configured in the Sources tab.

Tasks can be monitored from the controller and the result of the tasks can be presented together with any events that may have occurred during the operation.

In this Section

- Assigning a Task to a Virtual Station
- Configuring Manual Mode in a Virtual Station

# Assigning a Task to a Virtual Station

1. On the home view, go to the Virtual Station tab, select a virtual station on the left pane and go to the Task window.

2. On the Task window, select the arrow beside Choose task.The Choose task window appears.

3. On the Choose task window, go to the corresponding tab and select a Tightening program, a Batch sequence or a Source tightening previously created on the controller.

   The selected task is now assigned to the tool connected to the selected virtual station.

# Configuring Manual Mode in a Virtual Station

Manual mode for Virtual stations is used for performing tasks while the tool is in locked mode. In cases where the tool is locked for a certain reason (e.g. because the tool is outside its TLS footprint) there still may be a need to perform certain tasks with the tool, such as performing emergency work. By configuring manual mode for the virtual station, users can determine what signals are sent when entering manual mode (Entering signals), what task can be performed while in manual mode (Secondary task), and what signals are sent when leaving manual mode (Leaving signals).

Since desired scenarios can vary between different users (i.e. which signals to send upon entry and exit and what task to perform), manual mode is fully configurable for each virtual station.

Configuration consists of three elements: entering signals, leaving signals and secondary task (note that by primary task is meant the (automatic) task that is assigned to the virtual station under Task).

1. On the home view, go to the Virtual station tab and select the virtual station to configure on the left pane. Then, go to the Task window and select Set manual mode

2. On the Manual mode configuration screen, select Choose task on the Secondary Task window. This determines which task to run when in manual mode.

   If no secondary task is set, the primary task will be used during manual mode.

   All task types (tightening, batch sequence, source) can be set for the secondary task as for the primary task.

3. Set the entering signals by selecting the plus icon at the bottom of the Entering section. See the parameters for entering signals below.

4. Set the leaving signals by selecting the plus icon at the bottom of the Leaving section. See the parameters for leaving signals below.

The maximum number of signals that can be set for entering and leaving is 99.

In this Section

- Entering and Leaving Signals

# Entering and Leaving Signals

The parameters for entering and leaving signals are the same.

There are two types of signals: Boolean and integer/string type. For Boolean type signals, an on/off (true/false) switch is used. For integer/string type signals, a text field is used where the (I/O) signal or string can be indicated.

Signal | Type | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Abort sequence | Boolean | Off
Acknowledge events | Boolean | Off
Activate tool scanner | Boolean | Off
Clear results | Boolean | Off
Disable Fieldbus | Boolean | Off
Disable Open Protocol Commands | Boolean | Off
Disable Tool scanner | Boolean | Off
Dynamic batch size | Integer | 0
External identifier | Integer | 0
External monitored [1-8] | Boolean | Off
Flash Tool Green Led (external protocol) | Boolean | Off
Generic IO [1-10] | Integer | 0
Id for dynamic batch size | Integer | 0
Reset batch | Boolean | Off
Reset batch sequence | Boolean | Off
Reset bistable relay | Boolean | Off
Reset Too Many NOK | Boolean | Off
Select input | Integer | 0
Set bistable relay | Boolean | Off
Unlock tool on complete | Boolean | Off
Unlock tool on disable | Boolean | Off

# Configuring Protocols Window in a Virtual Station

On the home view, go to the Virtual Station tab and select a Virtual Station on the left pane. Go to the Protocols window to find a list of available communication protocols depending on the current license in use. The Open Protocol is available for all licenses.

To gain access to ILM Protocol functionality, refer to the ILM Protocol User Guide.

To gain access to functionality through Open Protocol, a unique port for each Virtual Station needs to be defined.

1. Set the Open Protocol switch to On.

2. Enter the Server port number.

3. Enter the Communication timeout value in seconds, between 15 and 60.

4. Enter the PLC Index value between 1 to 20.

   PLC Index is only relevant when running the SoftPLC.
   PLC Index is used to map where in the shared memory the Open Protocol commands are to be written. The default value is 1 but it is possible to enter values 1 to 20.

5. Choose the action to be applied when the connection to the client is lost.

   The Disconnect setting controls the action applied when a connection error occurs:

   - None: The tightening program continues normally.

   - Lock tool: The tool is locked after finishing the current tightening normally.

   - Unassign task: The tightening is aborted after finishing the ongoing task. Except for plain tightening programs or Batch sequences where the task will be removed after finishing.

   - Always lock tool: The tool is locked after finishing the current tightening, regardless of result.

6. Use legacy counter

   The legacy counter setting counts all tightenings in a sequence and outputs that number to secondary systems. To enable this setting, set Use legacy counter to Yes.

7. MID2500 loosening program

   This setting allows for the selection of a MID2500 loosening program from the list.

8. Tap or select Apply when ready.

As the default value for PLC Index is always 1 and no checks are made to see if it is in use, there is a possibility that you may have configured the system so that the same index is configured several times when adding Virtual stations. In this case, the Soft PLC will not be able to determine from which Virtual Station the incoming MID is originating from.

# Digital Signal Diagnostics

During deployment and during troubleshooting of a controller, a diagnostic tool is very helpful. It is available for the analysis under the Info tag for a device configuration or a fieldbus mapping in the Virtual station menu.

The controller can operate in normal mode or in diagnostics mode. In normal mode the digital input and output signals operate normally and are routed between the internal controller logic and to an external accessory or a connector.

The diagnostics mode is divided into monitor mode and forced mode. In the monitor mode signals operate normally, but provide live monitoring of the signal behavior. In forced mode the connection between the controller internal logic and the external accessory is opened and the input and output signals can be forced to a desired state.

It is possible to diagnose digital signals for one device or one fieldbus at a time.

# Diagnostics Configuration

The diagnostics for a specific accessory or fieldbus is accessible through the Info option in the Virtual Station view for the accessory or fieldbus.

Accessing the diagnostics configuration:

1. On the home view, go to the Virtual Station tab and select a Virtual Station on the left pane.

2. Go to the Accessories window, select Info and then Diagnostics.

3. Activate Monitor mode or Forced mode with the switch.
   The statuses of input signals and output signals are available under the respective tabs.

It is only possible to access the diagnostics from one single user or function at a time. If the diagnostics is already in use, an information message is shown on the screen.

# Normal Operations

In normal operations mode external input signals are passed to the internal controller logic and controller output signals are passed to an external target, without any intervention from the diagnostics module.

A | Controller internal state machine and logic functions
B | Digital output signal path
C | Digital input signal path
D | Diagnostics module

# Monitor Digital Signals

In the diagnostics mode all signals passed to and from the controller internal logic can be monitored. A signal tap is connected in the diagnostics module and the signal states are displayed on the web GUI or the controller GUI.

A | Controller internal state machine and logic functions
B | Digital output signal path
C | Digital input signal path
D | Diagnostics module
E | User interface
F | Output signal tap
G | Input signal tap

# Force Digital Signals

In the diagnostics mode all signals passed to and from the controller internal logic can be forced to a desired state. The signal lines are opened in the diagnostics module. From the user interface both input and output signals can be forced to steady states. The user interface is either the web GUI or the controller GUI.

While signals are forced, the controller operates normally. When leaving the diagnostics mode and the forced mode all signals are set to the current operating state of the controller. This may lead to a change-of-state for digital outputs, which can create unwanted actions.

A | Controller internal state machine and logic functions

# Configuration of the Tool LEDs

## The tool LEDs have the following features:

- The front LED illuminates the work area and can be used to indicate the result status for supported tools.

- The blue LED is part of the tool LEDs or as part of the EHMI or RHMI for supported tools. An output signal can be connected to the blue LED.

- The status LEDs consist of a red, a yellow, and a green ring or a segmented multicolor ring on specific pistol tools. Output signals can be connected to the status LEDs.

- A result indicator configures how the tool LEDs are lit to indicate tightening results status and the duration of this indication in supported tools.

An output signal can be of the type event or state.

A state signal is active as long as the output signal is active.

An event signal is active during the configured time range.

## Blue LED

The blue LED can be configured with an event or state output signal. The signal status would be displayed with a steady light.

To configure the blue LED

- Select a signal to connect with the blue LED.

- Optional: set the duration of an event signal.

The blue LED is replaced by or complemented with a blue indication on the EHMI or RHMI for specific tools types.

## Result Indicator

The result indicator configures how the tool LEDs are lit to indicate tightening results status and the duration of this indication.

The configuration affects the front LED and status LED result indication on supported tools. This includes pattern and duration. If pattern is set to Off, the result indication will not be used, even if Front LED is set to On in the Tool Configuration view.

Front LED must be set to On in the Tool Configuration view to use front LED result indication on supported tools.

Front LED supports the green and red color. Patterns that use the color yellow will not display yellow on the front LED.

Result indicator signals
Signal | Description
--- | ---
Off | No LEDs are activated after the tightening, regardless of the result.
Green | The green light always turns on when a tightening operation is OK.
Red:high:yellow:low | If the tightening is terminated incorrectly (NOK); a red LED indicates that the final value is too high, or a yellow LED indicates that the value is too low. Red and yellow can be lit simultaneously (e.g. in case of too high torque, and too low angle).
Red:high(prio):yellow:low | If the tightening is terminated incorrectly (NOK); a red LED indicates that the final value is too high, or a yellow LED indicates that the value is too low. Red and yellow cannot be lit simultaneously. Only red is lit in case of simultaneous high and low values.
Red:NOK:yellow:low | A red LED indicates that the tightening is terminated incorrectly (NOK). An additional yellow LED can indicate if the value is too low.
Red:NOK | A red LED indicates that the tightening is terminated incorrectly (NOK). No additional LEDs are shown.

## Status LEDs

The status LEDs consist of LEDs in three colors: red, yellow, and green. Each light can be steady or flashing. This offers a total of six different signals that can be connected to the status LEDs.

To configure the status LEDs

- For each color and function, steady or flashing, select an output signal from the shortcut menu.

- Optional: set the duration of an event signal.

Status LED signals and result indications can not simultaneously be displayed on the tool. The following conditions apply:

- A LED is turned on by a configured signal only when no tightening is ongoing and when the controlling output signal is activated.

- A LED is turned off when the next tightening is started, even if the configured duration hasn’t been reached for an event type signal or the controlling output signal hasn’t been deactivated for a state type signal.

- A result indication on the status LEDs will be deactivated if an update, activated or deactivated, is made to a configured signal.

## Duration

The duration decides for how long the result indication will be lit after the trigger is released.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
To next tightening | The blue LED, the status LEDs, and the result indication are on until the next tightening is started.
Time | The blue LED is on for the configured duration after activation. The status LEDs are on for the configured duration after activation or until the start of the next tightening. The result indication is on for the configured duration after the trigger is released or until the start of the next tightening.

# Configuration of the Direction Switch

The direction switch on the tool can be configured to trigger certain input signals when switched quickly (with a duration of 500 ms) from clockwise (CW) to counter clockwise (CCW) and back, or vice versa.

## Systems in Remote start

When the system uses remote start and the user wants to trigger a signal assigned to a direction switch in Tool configuration, one needs to assign the respective signal and use the signal 10029 - Select Loosening with a required duration of 500 ms to trigger it. For this to work, an extra configuration step in ToolsTalk is needed. Under Hardware configuration in ToolsTalk, a configuration must be set for the tool by clicking on the tool icon.

# Configuration of the Buzzer

The buzzer is configured by assigning a sound to a signal selected from a list of available signals.

The sound consists of a set of parameters described in the table. A signal with a sound can be prioritized between 1 and 10 where 1 is highest priority and 10 the lowest. By default a signal and sound has the priority 5. Up to 20 sounds can be assigned to signals.

After performing a tightening with an open end tool, it is possible to let the open end tool getting to the opening position again through the open end configuration.

Configure the open end strategies and settings through the HMI (Human Machine Interface).

The open end configuration is applicable only to cable tools, IXB tools, and STB tools.
The open end configuration is not applicable to Flex and to synchronized tightening.

## Open End Configuration

Open End Settings
Settings | Description
--- | ---
Automatic Positioning | After performing a tightening with an open end tool, it is possible to let the open end tool getting to the opening position again automatically. A toggle key turns the Automatic Positioning On or Off: On: if enabled, after the tightening, when the open end tool is lifted up, the open end tool gets to the opening position again automatically. The operator must hold down the tool trigger during the full process (tightening + Automatic Positioning). If the operator releases the tool trigger before that the Automatic Positioning is completed, the open end tool will get back to the opening position through the selected Positioning Strategy. Off: default value. If disabled, after the tightening, when the open end tool is lifted up, the open end tool does not get to the opening position again automatically. When the open end tool is lifted up, the operator must release the tool trigger. To let the open end tool getting to the opening position again, the operator must hold down the tool trigger again during the full Automatic Positioning. Automatic Positioning is applicable only to Multistep tightening programs. Automatic Positioning is applicable only to cable tools and IXB tools.
Positioning Strategy | Select the Positioning Strategy to let the open end tool getting back to the opening position after the tightening. Forward: default value. The open end tool turns forward - in the same direction of the tightening direction - to the opening position. Reverse: the open end tool turns reverse - in the opposite direction of the tightening direction - to the opening position. Reverse Torque Based: the open end tool gets to the opening position through a slow reverse rotation that is done by reversing slowly and monitoring the torque. Forward Fast Start: the open end tool gets to the opening position as quick as possible. We recommend to use Reverse Torque Based and Forward Fast Start strategies for open end tools with swiveling front part. Reverse Torque Based and Forward Fast Start strategies are applicable only to cable tools and IXB tools. If the Positioning Strategy of the STB tools is Reverse Torque Based or Forward Fast Start, the default Positioning Strategy would run automatically. For Reverse Torque Based, the default Positioning Strategy is Reverse. For Forward Fast Start, the default Positioning Strategy is Forward.
Positioning Speed | Positioning Speed defines how quickly the tool should get to the opening position. Positioning Speed is expressed as the percentage (%) of the open end tool maximum speed. The operator can enter a Positioning Speed value which ranges from 5% through 100%. By default, the Positioning Speed is set to 38%.

Always | Loosening is always disabled. It is not possible to loosen a bolt.
After every operation | Loosening is disabled after any operation, including tightening OK/NOK, loosening OK/NOK and if the tool is doing a free run (no result)

These settings are valid during the execution of a task. Loosening enables and disables depending on the setting and the status of the last tightening. For a new task the start state for disable loosening is set as follows:

Settings | Start state for new task
--- | ---
Off | Loosening enabled. It is possible to loosen a bolt.
On OK Tightening | Loosening disabled. It is not possible to loosen a bolt.
On NOK Tightening | Loosening disabled. It is not possible to loosen a bolt.
Always | Loosening disabled. It is not possible to loosen a bolt.
After every operation | Loosening disabled. It is not possible to loosen a bolt

The start state applies whenever a new task is assigned to a Virtual station or when a task starts again. The start state can differ depending on the type of task, described as follows.

Tightening program and Sync mode

Enable and disable of loosening follows the disable loosening setting and is set to the status of the last tightening.

Batch Sequence

During a batch sequence the enable or disable of loosening follows the disable loosening setting and is set to the status of the last tightening. This also applies when a batch goes to the next one within a batch sequence. If a batch sequence starts again, the loosening is enabled or disabled according to the start state for a new task.

Source Batch

Enable and disable of loosening follow the same procedure as described in Batch sequence. If an ongoing source batch starts again or if a new one is selected, the loosening is enabled or disabled according to the start state for new task.

Source Tightening (No batch control)

During a batch, enable and disable is set according to the status of the last tightening. If another program is selected, enable and disable is set according to the start state for new task. If any change of program, tool or socket is done, enable and disable is set according to the start state for new task.

Multispindle tightening

Enable and disable of loosening always follows the status of the last tightening. This is also applicable for a new sync mode.

## Disable tightening settings

To make sure that an operator does not tighten a bolt by mistake there is a function called disable tightening. There are four disable tightening settings:

Settings | Description
--- | ---
Off | Tightening is always enabled. It is always possible to tighten a bolt.
On NOK tightening | Tightening is disabled after an NOK tightening. It is not possible to tighten a not correct tightened bolt until tool is unlocked.
On OK tightening | Tightening is disabled after an OK tightening. It is not possible to tighten a correct tightened bolt until tool is unlocked.
After every tightening | Tightening is always disabled after every tightening and must be unlocked by signal or loosening to enable tool for next tightening.
After every operation | Tightening is disabled after any operation, including tightening OK/NOK, loosening OK/NOK and if the tool is doing a free run (no result). It must be unlocked by signal or loosening to enable the tool for the next tightening.

These settings are valid during the execution of a task. Tightening enables and disables depending on the setting and the status of the last tightening. For a new task the start state for disable tightening is set as follows:

Settings | Start state for new task
--- | ---
Off | Tightening enabled
On OK Tightening | Tightening enabled
On NOK Tightening | Tightening enabled
After every tightening | Tightening disabled
After every operation | Tightening disabled

The start state applies whenever a new task is assigned to a Virtual station or when the task starts again. The start state can differ depending on the type of task, as described in the Disable Loosening settings section.

When using tightening settings with STB, SRB, and TBP in radio shadow, there are some limitations:

- The disable loosening setting, After every operation, only works when the tool is connected to the controller. In radio shadow, the behavior defaults to On OK tightening.

- The disable tightening setting, After every operation, only works when the tool is connected to the controller. In radio shadow, the behavior defaults to After every tightening.

- The maximum consecutive loosenings setting only works when the tool is connected to the controller. The counter will not work, and the tool will not lock while in radio shadow.

## Maximum consecutive loosenings settings

To ensure the operator does not loosen the bolt more than the allowed number of times, configure the tool to lock after reaching the maximum consecutive loosenings. You can set this value between 0 and 250.

- If set to 0, the operator can loosen the bolt an infinite number of times, and the tool will never lock.

- If set to a number greater than 0, the tool will count each loosening. Once it reaches the configured number, it will lock and prevent further loosenings.

The consecutive loosening counter resets with each tightening attempt, whether successful (OK) or unsuccessful (NOK).

When the tool locks, it cannot perform loosenings but can still perform tightenings. If an attempt is made to loosen, event 4021 – Too many consecutive loosenings will show. The Max consecutive loosening reached – 245 signal will also activate and can be sent to external systems via Fieldbus or shown on a stack light.

To unlock and reset the counter, an external system must trigger the signal Reset too many loosenings – 10151 via Fieldbus or an accessory. The Master unlock – 10005 signal can also unlock the tool for loosening but will not reset the counter. A tightening performed while loosening is locked will unlock the tool for further loosenings and reset the counter.

## Allowing a disabled tool to unlock after loosening

- In the Tightening Settings for the assigned Virtual station and connected tool, set the Unlock tool on loosening to On OK or Always.

To enable the settings above, the following conditions need to be met:

- The Disable loosening parameter cannot be set to Off or Always.

- The Disable loosening parameter cannot be set to the same value as the Disable tightening.

- The tightening program used must have loosening enabled.

When the tool is locked for either tightening or loosening due to a disable state, it can be unlocked with one of the following input signals:

- Master Unlock - 10005

- Unlock Tool on Disable - 10059

- Unlock tightening on disable - 10149

- Unlock loosening on disable - 10150

It is not possible to unlock a disabled tool with the input signals ifLock tool on loosening is set to Always.

IAM Information

# Software

The version number of two versions of software available in the POWER FOCUS 8 controller are under the Software tab.

Installing a second version of the controller software is useful when performing upgrades on multiple controllers. When production is ready for switching to the upgraded software, activation of the new software version is done locally on the controller GUI, from a remote computer with the web GUI, or with Tools Talk.

A new software distribution can be installed either by connecting a USB flash drive containing the software to the controller’s USB port, or by using the web GUI.

The software update option is visible only when accessing the controller GUI from a PC. When a mass storage device with a valid software version is inserted in the USB port a prompt to update the software will appear.

The software update file must not be unzipped and must be stored in a folder named PFImages in the root directory on the USB flash drive.

An unexpected failure during software upgrade might lead to loss of data.
Before upgrading software versions, it is recommended to take a backup of the controller configuration by exporting “All controller information”.

Do not remove the USB device or disconnect the IAM until the upgrade is completed.

## Battery status

The POWER FOCUS 8 battery is located inside the controller's front panel and serves as backup power for some system elements, such as the internal clock. The status of the battery is updated once a day and when the controller restarts. When the battery is close to being completely depleted, a warning (3011) will be displayed. Replace the battery as soon as possible when the warning appears.

The status of the battery appears in the Battery status field on the Health window.

## Controller components temperature

The temperature of the various components in the controller is monitored continuously by the POWER FOCUS 8. Supported temperature units are degrees Celsius (°C) and degrees Fahrenheit (°F), with Celsius as the default unit. It is possible to switch between the two units without requiring a restart of the controller. When a critical component temperature exceeds the maximum temperature, the drive stage is disabled and an alert (3010) is shown. The drive stage is once again enabled when the component temperature drops below the maximum temperature limit.

For each component, the latest controller temperature measured together with the timestamp when the measurement was taken appears in the Controller temperature field on the Health window. It is possible to monitor the temperature continuously in a graph view for a component.

# Export/Import

On the Controller tab, the Export/Import pane allows to perform the following operations: Export, Import, and Automated backup.

Use the Export window to export controller configurations, settings, results, events and tool logs, which can be shared with Atlas Copco Service personnel to troubleshoot problems with the tools.

Use the Import window to import controller configurations and settings.

It is only possible to have one export or import process active at the same time. Any attempt to start a new export or import process while there is one ongoing is rejected.

Use the Automated backup window to generate a backup file.

It is possible to export or to import data through one of the following devices:

- USB flash drive (formatted and with a partition to work for Linux: possible formats are, for example, FAT or NTFS)

- Web GUI

- ToolsTalk 2

During export or import processes, a progress bar informs of that an export or an import process is ongoing. The time to perform an export or an import depends on the number of results, events, and log files that are imported or exported.

## Export/Import Between Controllers

Controllers may have different IAM types that could have different capabilities.
A controller can export all the configurations that are applicable to the current type of IAM module.

A controller cannot import a file exported from a different type of IAM module. This is applicable also when using ToolsTalk 2.

The export of system logs and information enables a service technician to share the logs of the system and its information with Atlas Copco Service technician.
Troubleshooting problems with the system - such as controllers - is easier through the export of system logs and information.

The export of system logs and information does not include logs from the connected tool(s).
If you need the export logs from the connected tool(s), select the necessary export method.

All data included in the export of system logs and information are stored in a file PF/IXBExport_<IAM name>_<datetime>.tar.gz, which includes the following files and directories:

- atlas_sys_d.zip - Log files from Drive application

- atlas_sys_i.zip - Log files from IT application

- atlas_protocol_log.zip – Log files from external protocol adapters

- ExportInfo.txt - Text document containing information about the IAM and controller

- licenseInformation.zip – License information and system capabilities

- atlas_systeminformation.zip – Information to Atlas Copco R&D for current system health and setup

- atlas_workflow_log.zip – Log files for the workflow from external protocol adapters

## How to Export "System Logs and Information"

1. On the Home view, select the Controller Tab. Then, on the left side, select the Export/Import Tab.

2. In the Export window, open the drop-down menu and select System logs and information.

3. In the Export window, select Export.

# Synchronized tightening

Controller features, such as the Low Reaction Tightening Strategies and controller-wide functions among others, require licenses distributed through the Functionality Management System (FMS). Whereas configuration of features is possible without specific licenses, the assignment and use of those features will require the correct license to be installed on the controller. Please refer to Licenses (FMS) for more detailed information on licenses.

Configuration of Synchronized tightening is done through ToolsTalk 2.

With Synchronized tightening it is possible to connect and to run several PF8 controllers together. The first controller in the configuration is called the Sync Reference and controls all the tightening and data reporting. Up to 5 additional PF8 controllers, called Sync Members, can be connected to the Sync Reference through a PF8 daisy-chain cable. Refer to Setting up hardware for Synchronized tightening. The Sync Members control the tools.

## Sync Reference

The Sync Reference is the brain in the system. It controls:

- the tightening settings

- the data reporting

- the configuration of the complete system

- the connection to Tools Talk and ToolsNet

Accessories and field buses are connected directly to the Sync Reference.

## Sync Member

The Sync Member works as a drive without any extra functionality. The IT part does not run and it is not possible to connect any external accessories or protocols to the Sync Member. Each Sync Member has an assigned channel number. The channel number is used to:

- identify a connected tool and drive within the Hardware Layout Configuration in ToolsTalk 2.

- select tools and drives that should be included in the tightening in Sync Mode.

- produce result reports.

- identify faulty parts in error events.

## Tightenings

It is only possible to run Synchronized tightening for Multistep tightening programs. To synchronize tightenings between each tool, synchronization points are used. At these points, the tools wait for each other before continuing with the next step in the tightening program. A tightening program can contain up to 25 steps (synchronization points not included).

The assignment of tightening programs can only be done through ToolsTalk 2 and is not possible to do through the controller.

## Licensing

Synchronized tightening is an FMS feature. Only the Sync Reference requires a license. It is possible to change any PF8 Controller into a Sync Member without any additional licenses. The Sync Reference license is an add-on FMS controller feature.

If the sync reference license is removed, no tightening can be done in Synchronized tightening mode. If the connection to the license server is lost, the license is still valid for 48 hours. The controller will search for a valid Sync Reference license every hour.

# User Interface Synchronized tightening

The user interface for Synchronized Tightening is a simplified version of the regular POWER FOCUS 8 interface. For detailed descriptions on the various interface elements, refer to the dedicated chapters and sections in this user guide. Note that the user interface is only accessible on the Sync Reference.

Not all functions are available in the Synchronized tightening interface. The following functions exist and can be edited in the interface:

- Tool: all information available.

- Virtual Station: all functions accessible, except creation of new Virtual Stations, assignment of Tasks (tightening program), and assignment of tool among others.

- Configurations: all functions available.

- Controller: all functions available. Note that there is an extra section here called Channels where information on the tools connected to the Sync Reference and Sync Members is given.

- Reports: Events (view all events).

- Settings: the following functions are not available:

  - Tightening

  - Wireless

  - Events

- Diagnostics: menu specific for Synchronized tightening.

- License assignment: all functions available.

# Configuring Synchronized tightening

4. Select Apply.

   The controller will reboot and boot into the Sync reference configuration, which is a simplified version of the regular PF8 GUI.

## Enabling Synchronized tightening

Synchronized tightening need to be enabled on the Sync Reference controller and there are two ways of doing it:

1. Set the I/O signal Enable Operation (10055) to High, or

2. In the Sync reference controller, go to the Configurations tab, select General Virtual Station on the left pane and then select Edit for the applicable configuration. Then, in the Fixtured Stations window, set Auto Enable to Always.

If Synchronized tightening has not been enabled, a runtime an error message appears saying "Unable to start, enable signal is low."

## Configuring the Sync Member

1. On the home view, go to the Controller tab and select Synchronized Tightening on the left pane.

2. On the Synchronized Tightening Mode window, select the ellipsis icon next to No Sync.

   The Synchronized Tightening Mode window appears.

3. Select Sync Member.

   The Synchronized tightening window closes.

4. In the Channel window, select the channel number for the Sync Member. Then select the appropriate channel for the Sync Member.

   The channel numbers of the Sync Members in the same set-up must be unique.

5. Select Apply.

   The controller will reboot and boot into the Sync Member configuration, which will only display the Sync Member's channel number.

## Switching back to regular PF8 mode (exiting synchronized tightening)

1. On the home view, go to the Controller tab and select Synchronized tightening on the left pane.

2. On the Synchronized Tightening window, select the ellipsis icon next to Sync Reference.

   The Synchronized Tightening Mode window appears.

3. Select No Sync.

   The Synchronized Tightening Mode window closes.

4. Select Apply.

   The controller will reboot and boot into the regular configuration.

# Setting up Synchronized tightening (hardware)

Note that software configuration needs to be done before hardware set-up is completed to avoid possible set-up conflicts.

Synchronized tightening allows several POWER FOCUS 8 to be connected to run synchronized tightenings.

1. Make sure that each controller has been configured correctly (see Synchronized Tightening Configuration for more information).

2. Use a PF8 daisy-chain cable to connect the Sync Reference Com Port B to the first Sync Member's Com Port A.

3. Use another PF8 daisy-chain cable to connect the first Sync Member's Com Port B to the second Sync Member's Com Port A. Do the same for all subsequent controllers.

   A synchronized tightening system can be configured with a maximum of 5 Sync Members.

The controllers need to be interconnected with an Estop cable. See EM Stop Connection Scenarios.

# Synchronized Tightenings

It is only possible to use Multistep tightening programs for Synchronized tightening. Synchronization points are used to synchronize the tools in a set-up. At these points, the tools will wait for each other before continuing with the next step in the multistep tightening program.

It is only possible to assign tightening programs to different tools in ToolsTalk2.

# Select Next Identifier Number - 10116

It is possible to use the signal Select Next Identifier Number when a task in the virtual station is configured as:

- Batch Sequence

- Source Tightening

- Source Batch

  - Number Identifier method

  - String Identifier method

ST Selector configurable functions Take Next and Take Previous enable the input signals Select Next Identifier Number and Select Previous Identifier Number.

## Batch Sequence selected as Virtual Station Task

If Free Order switch has been enabled, the signal Select Next Identifier Number can select different batches within the selected sequence.

Before selecting batches, it is mandatory that they have the identifier number assigned. If a batch does not have the identifier number assigned, the signal Select Next Identifier Number cannot select it, even if Free Order switch is enabled.

It enables looping through the batches that have a configured identifier number.
If identifier number is "None", it is possible to select it only after all Batches with configured identifier number are completed.

It is possible to do looping, but 0 is skipped. When a batch is finished, it is no longer selectable.

For example, in case of batches with assigned identifier numbers 1,2,4,5, the signal runs in loop: 1,2,4,5,1,2,4... as long as the batches are not finished.

## Source Tightening selected as Virtual Station Task

The signal selects the next identifier number from the list of tightening programs specified in the Source Tightening task.
The selection runs from the currently selected identifier number to the next larger one.

When the biggest identifier number is selected, this signal selects 0; after 0, the signal selects the next bigger identifier number.

If 0 is selected as identifier number, the tool is locked.

If the identifier number has been added to the Source Tightening list, but no tightening program has ever been assigned to it, it is skipped while looping through the Source Tightening list.

If the tightening program is assigned to an identifier number and then it is removed from the list of tightening programs, it is still possible to select this identifier number. In this case, the tool is locked because there is not a specific tightening program.

When Selector Mode switch is set to Confirm, the socket selector needs to be assigned and configured. All tightening programs can be selected, but before running them, appropriate socket must be lifted from the socket selector.

## Source Batch selected as Virtual Station Task

In Sources > Batch Sequence > Source Batch, when the identifier method is set to Number, the signal Select Next Identifier Number selects sequences from a list of sequences shown in Source Batch task.

It is possible to do looping through 0. The signal Select Next Identifier Number selects only the identifier numbers assigned to sequences.

For example, if there are 4 sequences available with identifier numbers 1,2,4, and 8, the signal Select Next Identifier Number iterates and selects 1,2,4,8,0,1,2...

The identifier numbers not defined are not selected.

In Sources > Batch Sequence > Source Batch, when the identifier method is set to String, it is necessary to select the sequence through external sources (like scanner or Open Protocol). The signal Select Next Identifier Number is able to select the batches within the selected sequence.

# Select Previous Identifier Number - 10117

It is possible to use the signal Select Previous Identifier Number when a task in the virtual station is configured as:

- Batch Sequence

- Source Tightening

- Source Batch

  - Number Identifier method

  - String Identifier method

ST Selector configurable functions Take Next and Take Previous enable the input signals Select Next Identifier Number and Select Previous Identifier Number.

## Batch Sequence selected as Virtual Station Task

If Free Order switch has been enabled, the signal Select Previous Identifier Number can select different batches within the selected sequence.

Before selecting batches, it is mandatory that they have the identifier number assigned. If a batch does not have the identifier number assigned, the signal Select Previous Identifier Number cannot select it, even if Free Order switch is enabled.

It enables looping through the batches that have a configured identifier number.
If identifier number is "None", it is possible to select it only after all Batches with configured identifier number are completed.

It is possible to do looping, but 0 is skipped. When a batch is finished, it is no longer selectable.

For example, in case of batches with assigned identifier numbers 1,2,4,5, the signal runs in loop: 5,4,2,1,5,4,2... as long as the batches are not finished.

## Source Tightening selected as Virtual Station Task

The signal selects the previous identifier number from the list of tightening programs specified in the Source Tightening task.
The selection runs from the currently selected identifier number to the previous lower one.

When the smallest identifier number is selected, this signal selects 0; after 0, the signal selects the next smaller identifier number.

If 0 is selected as identifier number, the tool is locked.

If the tightening program is assigned to an identifier number and then it is removed from the list of tightening programs, it is still possible to select this identifier number. In this case, the tool is locked because there is not a specific tightening program.

When Selector Mode switch is set to Confirm, the socket selector needs to be assigned and configured. All tightening programs can be selected, but before running them, appropriate socket must be lifted from the socket selector.

## Source Batch selected as Virtual Station Task

In Sources > Batch Sequence > Source Batch, when the identifier method is set to Number, the signal Select Previous Identifier Number selects sequences from a list of sequences shown in Source Batch task.

It is possible to do looping through 0. The signal Select Previous Identifier Number selects only the identifier numbers assigned to sequences.

For example, if there are 4 sequences available with identifier numbers 1,2,4, and 8, the signal Select Previous Identifier Number iterates and selects 8,4,2,1,0,8,4...

The identifier numbers not defined are not selected.

In Sources > Batch Sequence > Source Batch, when the identifier method is set to String, it is necessary to select the sequence through external sources (like scanner or Open Protocol). The signal Select Previous Identifier Number is able to select the batches within the selected sequence.

   - Port filtering (layer 4 firewall): To open and specify reachable services through the firewall.

   - IP Filtering (layer 3 firewall): To specify a trusted host by IP on the network that can access all the services.

   - MAC Filtering (layer 2 firewall): To specify a trusted host by MAC.

   When no firewall layer is enabled, all incoming connections are let through.

## Port Filtering (Layer 4 Firewall)

When the Port Filtering (Layer 4 Firewall) is set to ON, the firewall filter packets based on destination port. Packets sent to an open port are accepted immediately. Non-matching packets are also processed by the other firewall types, IP Filtering and MAC Filtering, before being accepted or rejected.

When the Port Filtering (Layer 4 Firewall) is OFF, the port filtering is disabled and all other options hidden.

Predefined service have their own enable switches:

- Open ports for web (TCP 80, TCP 8080)

- Open ports for SSH and SFTP (TCP 22)

- Open ports for wireless tools (UDP 6677, TCP 6678)

- Open ports for accessories (TCP 25000)

- Additional TCP ports

- Additional UDP ports

Predefined service | Description
--- | ---
Open ports for IxB Connect (default 62000, configurable) | Port required for connecting IxB Connect tools over factory network to the controller. IxB Connect requires a configured "base port" + 1 port/connected tool. Note that every new tool connected gets an increased offset. Example, if two tools are connected, the ports used are 62001 for tool 1 and 62002 for tool 2. An offset for a tool remains persistent on the system, even after an upgrade. This offset is removed only after a factory reset. If a tool is disconnected, its corresponding port is not allowed to be used. For example, if the tool 2 at port 62002 is disconnected, the new tool connected must use 62003. The allowed ports must be 62000 (base port) and, 62001 and 62003 for tool 1 and tool 3 respectively.
Open ports for web (TCP 80, TCP 8080) | Ports required for web services so the controller is accessible over the factory network. Setting Open ports for web (TCP 80, TCP 8080) to Off, triggers a warning that the connection with the Web HMI can be lost.
Open ports for SSH and SFTP (TCP 22) | Port required for SSH and SFTP functionality on the Factory Ethernet Port.
Open ports for wireless tools (UDP 6677, TCP 6678) | Ports required for wireless tools to connect to the controller over the factory network.
Open ports for accessories (TCP 25000) | Ports required for accessories to communicate with the controller over the factory network. This applies to Socket Selector 6.
Open additional TCP ports | Accepted are both comma-separated ports and port ranges using a dash (-). Example: when entering 1,2,3,4-10, all ports between 1 and 10 are opened. Invalid port entries trigger an immediate pop-up warning. Ports are automatically sorted after selecting the Apply button.
Open additional UDP ports

To use Open Protocol, add the port numbers manually in the Open additional TCP ports entry box. For example: 4545,4546,4547 (depends on the ports configured in Virtual Station > Virtual Station 1 > Protocols > Open Protocol > Server Port).

To use NTP server, add port 123 manually in the Open additional UDP ports entry box.

Multiple ports are added by using comma separation. Port ranges are added by using a dash.

## IP Filtering (layer 3 firewall)

To specify trusted host or networks in the IP Filtering (layer 3 firewall), enter their IP addresses in the IP White List entry box. To access the entry box, set the switch to On. Accepted entries are lists of IP addresses or network addresses as IP tables, that is, host IP addresses or network IP addresses. The network mask can be entered as mask length (for example, /24) or as a network IP address (for example, /255.255.255.0). Packets coming from a white-listed IP address are immediately allowed. Other packets are screened by the other firewall layers (Port Filtering and MAC Filtering).

IP address white-list example

Due to security issues, entering host names or network names is not accepted.

Note that processes like NATing (Network Address Translation) may change source IP addresses. Consult your local network administrator when white-listing a host based on source IP address is required.

## MAC Filtering (layer 2 firewall)

MAC Filtering (layer 2 firewall) allows specifying trusted hosts or networks by entering their MAC addresses in the MAC White List entry box. To access the entry box, set the switch to On. Accepted entries are comma-separated lists of MAC addresses. Packets coming from a white-listed MAC address are immediately allowed. Other packets are screened by the other firewall layers (Port Filtering and IP Filtering).

MAC address white-list example

Invalid entries trigger an immediate pop-up warning.

Note that routing may change source MAC addresses. Consult your local network administrator when white-listing a host based on source MAC address is required.

## Packet counters

To display the Firewall statistics for each firewall layer, select Settings > Network > Firewall > Packet Counters.

The Update section includes the following buttons:

- Refresh: used to refresh the displayed packet counters.

- Reset: used to reset the packet counters to zero.

Both buttons has a switch that automatically resets itself to the original position after the action is done.

The Accepted Packet Counters section displays the counters for each of the firewall types and for rejected packets.

- Port Filtering: displays the packet counter for packets accepted by the Port Filtering firewall type.

- IP Filtering: displays the packet counter for packets accepted by the IP Filtering firewall type.

- MAC Filtering: displays the packet counter for packets accepted by the MAC Filtering firewall type.

- Rejected: displays the packet counter for packet that were rejected.

The packets accepted, and thus counted, by the Port, IP and MAC Filtering rules only include the initial packets that establish a connection.

The Rejected packets are all counted and displayed.

## Firewall status

The status of the general firewall feature and its firewall layers is shown in the Firewall main view directly under Settings > Network.

Status | Description
--- | ---
OK | The firewall is enabled and the firewall configuration is applied.
Disabled | The firewall is disabled and the firewall configuration is not applied.
Configuration Error | The firewall is enabled, but the firewall configuration is not applied due to an internal error. For safety reasons, the fail-open policy is applied, meaning all connections are allowed through.

When the general firewall status is OK, the status (Enabled / Disabled) for the respective firewall layers is also shown.

# Configuration of HTTPS

HTTPS is used to encrypt end-to-end traffic between web browsers and controllers. The use of HTTPS requires a certificate which is trusted by a web browser. The controller software will generate a self-signed Certificate Authority on first startup, which in turn is used to generate the initial certificate used for HTTPS. The self-signed Certificate Authority on the controller can be replaced with one that is signed by an external Certificate Authority to create a chain of trust.

By default, HTTP redirects to HTTPS in the browser. This can be configured in the controller settings under HTTPS with the Redirect HTTP to HTTPS toggle.

In this Section

- Configuring HTTPS

# Configuring HTTPS

To configure HTTPS on the controller, follow these steps:

1. Access the web interface of the controller. A warning message will appear from the browser due to the self-signed certificate. Select Advanced and accept the risk to continue.

2. Navigate to Settings and select the HTTPS tab.

3. In HTTPS settings, select Create CA CSR.

4. In the pop-up window, select Create to create a certificate signing request and then select Close when the download is complete.

5. Sign the certificate signing request and upload the resulting CA certificate to the controller.

6. Select Generate server certificate, enter the Subject Alternative Names (SAN) in the specified format, and click Generate.

7. After the generation is complete, a pop-up window is displayed and the session will restart automatically.

# Certificates

On the Certificates tab, you can manage trusted Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates that are signed by your local Certificate Authority (CA) or an external CA to create a chain of trust.

The controller will use the TLS certificate for HTTPS to communicate securely with ToolsNet/ToolsTalk if encryption is turned on. If the ToolsNet/ToolsTalk server requires client validation, set up the certificate at the controller side and configure ToolsNet/ToolsTalk to trust the controller's certificate.

Import certificate

1. Go to Settings in the home menu and select Certificates in the left pane.

2. Select the Plus icon at the upper-right corner of the GUI.

3. Select Choose File.

4. Browse and choose the certificate file.

In this Section

- Configuring the PIN

# Configuring the PIN

It is possible to have one or many different PIN configurations on the controller. Users can decide whether or not to activate one or several PIN configurations at the same time.

Each PIN configuration has a PIN code, a user name, a switch for enabling or disabling the user/PIN, and a list of available configurations that the user can access.

When PIN is enabled and the screen is locked, a locked padlock icon is shown at the upper-right corner of the GUI. The user can access and make changes only to the selected configuration(s) without entering any PIN code, and browse the unselected configurations with read-only access only. The unselected configurations are greyed out or disabled.

The screen lock goes automatically on after a certain time of inactivity, configurable by the user.
The minimum value of the inactivity time is 20 sec and the maximum value is 600 sec. The inactivity time is configurable and applies to all PIN configurations.

After a system startup, the controller is locked if the PIN is turned on, regardless of the current inactivity time.

The users and PIN configured apply also to the Service Port (169.254.1.1).
To enable PIN protection on the Service Port, in the PIN windows, set Use PIN for Service Port to On.

Each controller can configure up to 10 users.
The PIN of each configuration has to be unique. It is required to have at least one configuration to enable the PIN functionality on the controller.

The fieldbus section consists of information about the fieldbus type in use. This part is hardware dependent and read-only. The configuration section with general settings for the fieldbus in use is possible to edit.

In POWER FOCUS 8 controllers, the fieldbus only works if the Anybus module inside is supported. Only modules coded with an Atlas Copco unique Provider ID are supported and these can only be purchased from Atlas Copco. If a module is purchased from Atlas Copco, then it has a correct Provider ID.

The Atlas Copco Anybus modules supported for POWER FOCUS 8 are the following ones:

- Profibus M40 (product number 8436 0941 05)

- DeviceNet M40 (product number 8436 0941 10)

- EtherNet/IP 2 Port M40 (product number 8436 0941 15)

- Profinet I/O 2 Port M40 (product number 8436 0941 20)

- CC-Link M40 (product number 8436 0941 25)

- CC-Link IE M40 (product number 8436 0941 30)

The fieldbus mapping and the assigning of fieldbus maps to virtual stations are done with ToolsTalk. For more information refer to the ToolsTalk configurations manual.

Fieldbus parameters
Parameter | Description | Default value
--- | --- | ---
Fieldbus type | The supported modules are: Profibus M40 DeviceNet M40 EtherNet/IP 2 Port M40 Profinet I/O 2 Port M40 CC-Link M40 CC-Link IE M40 | None

# Triggers

Triggers act as input to a rule. A valid trigger is configured with a virtual station, and a Boolean Input/Output state or event signal. A maximum of 10 triggers can be configured per rule.

## Triggers Condition

If a rule is set to active On, it starts based on the trigger condition set. The available trigger conditions are:

- IF ALL: The rule starts only when all the triggers in the rule are triggered.

- IF ANY: The rule starts when any of the triggers in the rule are triggered.

Settings | Descriptions
--- | ---
Name | Enter a name for the trigger with a maximum length of 32 ASCII characters.
Signal | When selecting a signal for a trigger, choose from a list of Boolean I/O states and event signals. The selected signal is always connected to the selected virtual station.
Virtual Station | Select a virtual station from the list of available virtual stations on the controller.
Based on the type of input signal selected, the trigger shows different options.
Selected Input/Output Boolean state signal as Signal in trigger | A Boolean state signal has a defined state when the signal is triggered and when the signal is not triggered. To configure, go to Operation and select Equals or Not Equals for the state of the signal, which is True or False. The trigger reacts only when the signal state condition is met, that is, when the value of the signal is equal to or not equal to the set state, which is true or false. For example, the trigger can be configured to react only when the tool is running, through the Tool running signal. To configure, select Tool running from the list of signals and set Operation to Equals and state to True.
Selected Input/Output Boolean event signal as Signal in trigger | A Boolean event signal has a single state when triggered and remains in that state until reset. When the event signal is selected from the signal list, a reset option needs to be set for the Event Input/Output signal. Reset options can be selected from Cease. The available reset options are: Time, Next Tightening, and Defined Signal. For example, the trigger can be configured to trigger only when the Tightening OK signal is received.

# Actions

Actions act as outputs from a rule. To receive an output from the rule, the action needs to be configured to a Signal and a Virtual Station. A maximum of 10 actions can be configured per rule. In case of multiple triggers, an action or multiple actions are executed when the trigger condition is met.

Actions settings
Setting | Description

# Licensing

Each rule is licensed per virtual station. If a virtual station is not licensed for the automation rule, a configuration error message is shown when the rule is enabled. The trigger does not activate, and the action does not output the signal.

# Operation

In this section, you can find step-by-step information about how to operate the product.

# Remote Start and Emergency Stop

# Remote Start Configuration

A tightening can be started remotely from an accessory in both single and multiple controller configurations. The switch to activate remote start is found on the connector panel located behind the front access door of the controller.

Whenever using remote start you must enable an emergency stop solution for safety reasons. For more information on emergency stop, see the Product Instructions document for the controller.

When using a tool with some type of safety handle (such as a trigger start button or a safety lever), remote start must be disabled by setting the switch to Off. This is done to ensure that it is not possible to override the safety function within the tool.

# Emergency Stop

The POWER FOCUS 8 is equipped with an infrastructure needed to create an emergency stop function with redundant breaking according to EN ISO 13849-1 category 3 PL d. The emergency stop function must be used when using remote start functionality.

The emergency stop function can be used with a supply disconnecting device (such as an EM Stop button). When pressed, it interrupts the supply voltage to the controller drive.

The emergency stop function can be used with either a single controller or up to 10 controllers in a single emergency stop chain. In a multiple controller configuration the emergency stop signal is distributed from the first controller to all interconnected controllers using E-stop in and E-stop out and PoE 1 and PoE 2. The last controller in the chain returns a feedback signal to indicate that all controllers have received the emergency stop signal. The Emergency stop event is displayed.

For the emergency stop there is a 24V DC output through the emergency stop connector on the connector board.

# Cabling

# EM Stop button cables

Single/Multiple controllers | Dimension | Maximum length
--- | --- | ---
Single | 0.7 mm2 cable | 400 meters
Multiple | 1.5 mm2 cable | 50 meters

# I/O Cables

For connecting multiple controllers with I/O cables distributing the emergency stop signal, use the maximum length according to the following table:

AWG 22 cable | Maximum total length
--- | ---
4 controllers | 200 meters
5 controllers | 140 meters
6 controllers | 100 meters
8 controllers | 70 meters

It is also possible to zoom to a specific section by holding down the right mouse button, moving the mouse over a section, and release the right mouse button. The area inside the drawn rectangle defines the area to show.
4 | Each result is represented by one tab, showing the time when the tightening was performed. An icon on the left of each tab reflects the outcome of the tightening: Blue: Tightening successful Red: Tightening failed Exclamation mark: The trace cannot be shown in the diagram Select the different icons to switch between the following display settings for the trace: Show trace only Show trace and step dividers with available limits or restrictions Hide trace
5 | Change primary result trace. The primary result trace is used as reference and will define the values for the x-axis. Only one trace can be set as primary result. The first selected trace (the left-most tab) is by default used as reference.
6 | Tightening details of the currently selected result.

## Sync methods

Sync methods are different strategies to synchronize traces by a specific value.

Traces can be synchronized by, for example, peak torque (highest torque reached for each trace). This shifts all traces along the x-axis, until each curve has its peak torque value at the exact same position on the x-axis.

All subsequent results are given an offset on the x-axis according to one of the following methods:

Sync method | Description
--- | ---
None | Default value. Selected traces are not synced.
Peak / Torque Peak / Angle Peak / Speed Peak / Current Peak / Gradient | All traces are synchronized towards the peak value, that is, shifted along the x-axis so that the peak values are at the same position on the x-axis as the peak value of the primary result.
Custom / Torque Custom / Angle Custom / Speed Custom / Current Custom / Gradient | All traces are synchronized towards a set value, shifted along the x-axis so that the set value are the same at the same position The set value of the primary result is used as reference point on the x-axis. If sync method Custom is selected and none of the traces contains the configured value, an exclamation mark is shown in the custom value field.

If a result has no trace value that matches to the sync method it cannot be synchronized and its trace will not be shown. It will instead be shown with an exclamation mark.

If none of the traces are possible to synchronize, the error message “Unable to synchronize” is shown.

# SPC - Statistical Process Control

The purpose of the built-in SPC function is to give the operator or quality control staff data that let them judge the stability and capability of the assembly process according to standard SPC rules.
By configuring the SPC function within the controller, it is possible to simplify and do the work directly on the controller without the need of external software. The charts are generated on the controller.
Since it is possible to use program monitors within the controller as a SPC variable, it is necessary to specify that only variables controlled by the controller show the performance of the controller system. Other variables show mainly results from other processes. For example, if a torque value is applied to a joint, then SPC of the final torque value and the related results - such as Cp and Cpk - show the performance of the tool and the controller on that joint.

Statistical calculations are based on old data stored in the controller.

Statistical calculations are done on a Virtual Station level, depending on the tightening program selected and used for that specific Virtual Station.

- Viewing Statistical Results

# Configuring SPC Parameters

1. On the home view, go to the Reports tab and select Statistics on the left pane.

2. On the SPC Configuration window, enter the following parameters to collect results stored in the controller:

   - Number of Subgroups: enter the number of subgroups the statistics calculation is based upon.
     The number of results (Number of Subgroups × Frequency) can range from 2 through 500.

   - Subgroup Size: enter the number of tests (samples) necessary to define each point (the average value of the tests in the subgroup) on the SPC charts.
     The subgroup size can range from 2 through 25.

   - Frequency: enter how often to start collecting a new subgroup.
     Frequency must be equal or higher than Subgroup size.

     For instance, if Frequency is 8 and Subgroup Size is 5, the first 5 data (results) is used for the subgroup. Because of the Frequency =8, the next subgroup starts considering data (results) from the 8th one on, and so on in a loop.

# Configuring SPC Variables

1. On the home view, go to the Reports tab and select Statistics on the left pane.

2. Select the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
   The SPC Variable window shows the new variable.

3. In the Name box, enter the name of the variable.
   The name of the variable is the heading of the SPC Variable window.

4. Select Tightening Program.
   The Tightening Program window appears and lists all the multistep tightening programs stored in the controller and available for statistical calculations.
   Select the multistep tightening program of the new variable.

   The Tightening Program must be a multistep program.

5. Select Virtual Station.
   The Virtual Station window appears.
   Select the Virtual Station which the results are made from.

   Statistics are based on results made by a Virtual Station that has the following license type assigned:

   - Process Control

6. Select Monitor.
   The Monitor window appears.
   Select one of the following program monitors which the SPC calculation is based on:

   - Step monitor peak torque

   - Step monitor angle

   - Final torque

   - Final angle

   - Program monitor torque

   - Program monitor angle

   When selecting Step monitor peak torque or Step monitor angle, in the Step number box enter the number of the necessary step of the tightening program from which to read the value.

   Use result reporters to have an effect on the following monitor values: Final torque and Final angle.

7. Select Edit limits.
   The Variable configuration window appears.
   For calculations and analysis of the results, set the following limits for each value of interest.

In the Tolerance limits window, set the following limits (used for calculation of the process capabilities Cp and Cpk):

- Upper Tolerance Limit (UTL): a user-defined quantity that identifies the highest acceptable value of a product attribute.

- Lower Tolerance Limit (LTL): a user-defined quantity that identifies the lowest acceptable value of a product attribute.

In the Control limits window, enable or disable the Auto calculate switch.
If the Auto calculate switch is set to Yes, the control limits are automatically calculated.
If the Auto calculate switch is set to No, set the following limits:

- Mean - Upper control limit: a statistically determined measurement that appears as a horizontal dashed line above the process average.

- Mean - Lower control limit: a statistically determined value that appears as a horizontal dashed line below the process average.

- Range - Upper control limit: a statistically determined measurement that appears as a horizontal dashed line above the process average.

- Range - Lower control limit: a statistically determined value that appears as a horizontal dashed line below the process average.

- Sigma - Upper control limit: a statistically determined measurement that appears as a horizontal dashed line above the process average.

- Sigma - Lower control limit: a statistically determined value that appears as a horizontal dashed line below the process average.

In the Capabilities window, set the following limits:

- Cp: the Cp index gives the process capability: it is the number of times the spread of the process is into the tolerance width (Upper tolerance limit - Lower tolerance limit). The higher the value of Cp, the better the process.

- Cpk: the Cpk index gives the process capability corrected for the position. It is not useful having a high Cp index if the process setting is way off center in relation to the middle of the tolerance range. A high Cpk index means, then, that you have a good process with a small spread in relation to the tolerance width, and also that it is well centered within that width (Upper tolerance limit - Lower tolerance limit). If Cpk is equal to Cp, the process is set to produce exactly in the middle of the tolerance range.

# Calculating Statistics

1. On the home view, go to the Reports tab and select Statistics on the left pane.

2. On the SPC Configuration window, enter the parameters to collect results stored in the controller (Number of Subgroups, Subgroup Size, and Frequency).

3. Select the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
   The SPC Variable window shows the new variable.
   Configure the new SPC Variable.

4. On the SPC Variable window, select Calculate.
   Data is collected from the historical results stored in the controller that are aligned with the criteria set in the SPC Configuration window and SPC Variable window. The values of interest are collected into subgroups of the size set in the SPC Configuration window. The collected tightening results on the controller are used for statistics calculations.

It is not possible to calculate statistics for results from deleted tightening programs or Virtual Stations, unless the results are still stored on the controller.

Only one user at a time can calculate statistics.

## Statistics Formulas

Data in a subgroup is calculated as:

- Average:

- Range = R = max (Xi) - min (Xi), where i=1...n

- Standard deviation for a subgroup:

- Total overall of the standard deviation:

  Where N = total number of observations.

When specified number of subgroups to use for calculations has been collected, the SPC function starts calculations to determine the statistical stability.
Calculations are performed through the following steps: (m = number of subgroups)

- Calculation of Average of Average values:

- Calculation of Average of Range:

- Calculation of Average of Standard deviation:

- Calculation of the process capabilities Cp and Cpk with respect to Sigma:

  Where:

  - is the overall arithmetic average of the observed characteristic values.

  - UTL is the Upper Tolerance Limit.

  - LTL is the Lower Tolerance Limit.

  - The sigma estimation is the mean square standard deviation within the subgroups:

- Calculation of the process capabilities Cp and Cpk with respect to Range:

  Where for a normal distribution su = sl = 3.

Calculations for control limits if, in the SPC Configuration window, the Auto calculate switch is set to Yes:

- X-bar R (Mean)

- X-bar R (Range)

- X-bar S (Mean)

- X-bar S (Sigma)

A2, A3, D3, D4, B3, and B4 are constants (for more information, see the "SPC Calculation Constants" paragraph).

# Viewing Statistical Results

1. On the home view, go to the Reports tab and select Statistics on the left pane.

2. On the SPC Configuration window, enter the following parameters: Number of Subgroups, Subgroup Size, and Frequency.

3. Select the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
   The SPC Variable window shows the new variable.
   Configure the new SPC Variable.

4. On the SPC Variable window, select Calculate.

5. To show the statistical results, on the SPC Variable window, select the View box.
   The View box shows the date and time which the statistics results have been done.
   The statistical results are displayed through a histogram, the XBar-R chart, and the XBar-S chart.

   When all calculations on the filtered results are done, they are sent to the Web HMI and ToolsTalk 2.
   The statistics results are locally saved on a Temporary Internet Files folder (not saved on the controller).

   Statistical results can be displayed only on the Web HMI.

## Histogram

A histogram is a series of rectangles, each proportional in width to the range of values within a class and proportional in height to the number of samples falling in the class. A Gaussian curve follows the trend of the rectangles. A histogram reveals the amount of variation that any process has within it.
The histogram is useful because it emphasizes and clarifies trends that are not readily discernible in tables.

## XBar-R Chart

The XBar-R control chart shows both the mean value (XBar) and the range (R) of a subgroup. This is the most common type of control chart using indiscrete or continuous values. The XBar part of the chart shows any changes in the mean value of the process while the R part shows any changes in the dispersion of the process.
This chart is particularly useful because it shows changes in mean value and dispersion of the process at the same time, making it a very effective method for checking abnormalities in the process.

## XBar-S Chart

The XBar-S control chart shows both the mean value (XBar) Chart and the standard deviation (S) for each subgroup.
The XBar-S chart is identical to the XBar-R chart except that the R (range) is replaced by an S (standard deviation).

## Calculated Statistical Values

In the Web HMI the calculated statistical values are displayed in information boxes below the histogram, the XBar-R chart, and the XBar-S chart.

The calculated values depend on the chart on which they are read.

The calculated statistical values are:

- Min = minimum value for all collected sample values

- Max = maximum value for all collected sample values

- Mean =

- Mean+3Sigma = + 3*stdDev

- Mean-3Sigma = - 3*stdDev

- Cp (in XBar-R chart the value is based on range, and in XBar-S chart the value is based on sigma)

- Cpk (in XBar-R chart the value is based on range, and in XBar-S chart the value is based on sigma)

- Center line = in Range part , and in Sigma part

- Target (if available the target value for the monitor)

- Standard deviation = Total overall standard deviation = stdDev

# Select Next Identifier Number - 10116

It is possible to use the signal Select Next Identifier Number when a task in the virtual station is configured as:

- Batch Sequence

- Source Tightening

- Source Batch

  - Number Identifier method

  - String Identifier method

ST Selector configurable functions Take Next and Take Previous enable the input signals Select Next Identifier Number and Select Previous Identifier Number.

## Batch Sequence selected as Virtual Station Task

If Free Order switch has been enabled, the signal Select Next Identifier Number can select different batches within the selected sequence.

Before selecting batches, it is mandatory that they have the identifier number assigned. If a batch does not have the identifier number assigned, the signal Select Next Identifier Number cannot select it, even if Free Order switch is enabled.

It enables looping through the batches that have a configured identifier number.
If identifier number is "None", it is possible to select it only after all Batches with configured identifier number are completed.

It is possible to do looping, but 0 is skipped. When a batch is finished, it is no longer selectable.

For example, in case of batches with assigned identifier numbers 1,2,4,5, the signal runs in loop: 1,2,4,5,1,2,4... as long as the batches are not finished.

## Source Tightening selected as Virtual Station Task

The signal selects the next identifier number from the list of tightening programs specified in the Source Tightening task.
The selection runs from the currently selected identifier number to the next larger one.

When the biggest identifier number is selected, this signal selects 0; after 0, the signal selects the next bigger identifier number.

If 0 is selected as identifier number, the tool is locked.

If the identifier number has been added to the Source Tightening list, but no tightening program has ever been assigned to it, it is skipped while looping through the Source Tightening list.

If the tightening program is assigned to an identifier number and then it is removed from the list of tightening programs, it is still possible to select this identifier number. In this case, the tool is locked because there is not a specific tightening program.

When Selector Mode switch is set to Confirm, the socket selector needs to be assigned and configured. All tightening programs can be selected, but before running them, appropriate socket must be lifted from the socket selector.

## Source Batch selected as Virtual Station Task

In Sources > Batch Sequence > Source Batch, when the identifier method is set to Number, the signal Select Next Identifier Number selects sequences from a list of sequences shown in Source Batch task.

It is possible to do looping through 0. The signal Select Next Identifier Number selects only the identifier numbers assigned to sequences.

For example, if there are 4 sequences available with identifier numbers 1,2,4, and 8, the signal Select Next Identifier Number iterates and selects 1,2,4,8,0,1,2...

The identifier numbers not defined are not selected.

In Sources > Batch Sequence > Source Batch, when the identifier method is set to String, it is necessary to select the sequence through external sources (like scanner or Open Protocol). The signal Select Next Identifier Number is able to select the batches within the selected sequence.

# Select Previous Identifier Number - 10117

It is possible to use the signal Select Previous Identifier Number when a task in the virtual station is configured as:

- Batch Sequence

- Source Tightening

- Source Batch

  - Number Identifier method

  - String Identifier method

ST Selector configurable functions Take Next and Take Previous enable the input signals Select Next Identifier Number and Select Previous Identifier Number.

## Batch Sequence selected as Virtual Station Task

If Free Order switch has been enabled, the signal Select Previous Identifier Number can select different batches within the selected sequence.

Before selecting batches, it is mandatory that they have the identifier number assigned. If a batch does not have the identifier number assigned, the signal Select Previous Identifier Number cannot select it, even if Free Order switch is enabled.

It enables looping through the batches that have a configured identifier number.
If identifier number is "None", it is possible to select it only after all Batches with configured identifier number are completed.

It is possible to do looping, but 0 is skipped. When a batch is finished, it is no longer selectable.

For example, in case of batches with assigned identifier numbers 1,2,4,5, the signal runs in loop: 5,4,2,1,5,4,2... as long as the batches are not finished.

## Source Tightening selected as Virtual Station Task

The signal selects the previous identifier number from the list of tightening programs specified in the Source Tightening task.
The selection runs from the currently selected identifier number to the previous lower one.

When the smallest identifier number is selected, this signal selects 0; after 0, the signal selects the next smaller identifier number.

If 0 is selected as identifier number, the tool is locked.

If the tightening program is assigned to an identifier number and then it is removed from the list of tightening programs, it is still possible to select this identifier number. In this case, the tool is locked because there is not a specific tightening program.

When Selector Mode switch is set to Confirm, the socket selector needs to be assigned and configured. All tightening programs can be selected, but before running them, appropriate socket must be lifted from the socket selector.

## Source Batch selected as Virtual Station Task

In Sources > Batch Sequence > Source Batch, when the identifier method is set to Number, the signal Select Previous Identifier Number selects sequences from a list of sequences shown in Source Batch task.

It is possible to do looping through 0. The signal Select Previous Identifier Number selects only the identifier numbers assigned to sequences.

For example, if there are 4 sequences available with identifier numbers 1,2,4, and 8, the signal Select Previous Identifier Number iterates and selects 8,4,2,1,0,8,4...

The identifier numbers not defined are not selected.

In Sources > Batch Sequence > Source Batch, when the identifier method is set to String, it is necessary to select the sequence through external sources (like scanner or Open Protocol). The signal Select Previous Identifier Number is able to select the batches within the selected sequence.

# Set CCW Direction - 10132

Set CCW Direction is an input signal which forces the SR21/SL tool to counterclockwise direction.

The SR21/SL tool is forced to counterclockwise direction only if, after being connected with the controller, the signal is set "high".
This operation is essential, even if the signal was set "high" before that the SR21/SL tool was connected with the controller.

If the tool is running clockwise, the signal will switch the direction to counterclockwise.
If the tool is running counterclockwise, the direction will not change.

Set CCW Direction overrides the input signal Toggle CW/CCW For Next Run.

If the signal is set "low", the tool will switch the direction to clockwise.

When the tool is set to counterclockwise, the orange direction LED on the tool lights up.

Converter | Signal Type | Value Type | Size Min [bit] | Size Max [bit]
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Standard | State | Boolean | 1 | 1
Invert | State | Boolean | 1 | 1

To avoid duplicating signals, it is possible to define Value Converters.

Converters are used to support more than one representation of the same signal (for example Angle/Torque Status can both be represented bitwise or as a status character).
