# Batch Sequence Settings

The Batch Sequence menu shows the details of a single batch sequence with the following configuration items:

- Name: Sequence name and index number.

- Settings: Parameters for controlling the flow and order of tightenings.

- Batch Configuration: Function for creating the batch sequence from individual tightening programs. A batch consists of one single tightening program that is repeated a number of times.

Batch Sequence Name
Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Name | The batch sequence name consists of an index number combined with optional characters. The index position cannot be changed. A new configuration is given lowest possible available index number. The index number is important when using sources and identifier numbers to be part of the task selection process.

Batch Sequence Settings
Parameter | 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 (NOK) tightenings 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 OK loosening | Decrements the counter within the currently active batch. Completed batch cannot be decremented. Never: The setting is off. Counter is not decremented when loosening is performed in the active batch. Always: decrements the counter in the active batch when loosening, if the last tightening was OK. When last tightening is OK: decrements the counter when performing a loosening in the active batch, regardless of the previous tightening result. | 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 | Time in seconds. | 10 s
Barcode Required | Yes: to start a batch sequence, a barcode must be scanned first. No: no barcode scan is required to start a batch sequence. | No

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 99. Batch size 0 will give the batch an infinite number of tightenings.
Identifier number | When using a socket selector or an end fitting tool, this is the socket position or TAG id used to activate the batch.
