Adaptive Control 
 
ADAPTIVE CONTROL provides the user with a function to allow the iEC Controller to adapt to the joint 
dynamics of a particular application and to adjust the 
target torque accordingly in order to provide  
accurate and repeatable performance. 
 
ADAPTIVE CONTROL works only in  Torque Control or Torque Control / Angle Monitor Strategies. 
 
The user may access the ADAPTIVE CONTRO L function by following these steps:

The controller has several networking options availa
ble including Ethernet and hardwired field bus.  All 
parameters pertaining to networking are conf igured in the web interface via its Ethernet. 
Ethernet
 
Each Ethernet connection can be configured to communicate with most popular plant equipment includ-
ing data collection servers, laptop software, and PLCs. 
Ethernet ports by default are set to an IP address of  10.10.30.150 and need to be changed before being 
put into service.

The security feature utilizes the aut
hentication built into the browser.  When a change to a parameter is 
made the controller checks the progra mmed password.  If a password is required the controller will re-
quest it from the browser and in tu rn the browser will prompt the user .  The browser will request a “User 
name” and “password”.  Since the controller only cont ains one password (one user) the “User name” 
can be left blank.  Once the passwor d is entered it is returned to the controller...

Networking 
Open Protocol 
The controller has the ability to accept an “Open” pr otocol connection.  This connection is available 
over Ethernet and/or the standard serial ports.   Through this connection you can enable/disable the 
tool, set the active parameter set,  collect rundown data, and much more. 
 
1. Port Number:   The TCP port number the controller listens on to accept an Open protocol 
connection via Ethernet.  The default port is 4545 but can be changed if required.

The Controller supports the following MIDs.  See the 
latest Open protocol specification for details on 
each MID.

Chrysler PFCS 
 
The controller has the ability to c onnect to the Chrysler PFCS network .  Once the controller is on the 
local network there are several parameters  that must be set to work correctly. 
 
1.  Server IP Address:   This is the IP address of the Chrysler  server.   If the server is on another 
subnet you will also have to verify  the gateway in the Ethernet settings. 
2.  Server Port Number:   This is the TCP port the server is listening on for a new connection. 
3.  Ack...

AIMCO Database 
 
The controller has the ability to  send rundown data to an AIMCO data collection server.  Once the con-
troller is on the local network there are two paramete rs that must be set to store data correctly on the 
server. 
1. Server IP Address:   This is the IP address of the AI MCO data collection server.  If the 
server is on another subnet y ou will also have to verify the  gateway in the Ethernet settings. 
2.  Server Port Number:   This is the TCP port the server is...

Modbus TCP 
The controller will accept a conn ection from a Modbus TCP master. 
 
Controller Outputs
 
The Controller’s outputs are located at address 0 and contain one status word. 
 
 
 
 
 
Controller Inputs
 
The Controller inputs are located at address 1024 and 1036.  Address 1024 contains one control word and 1036 con-
tains the 20 character VIN.

Profibus/DeviceNET 
The controller can have an optional  Profibus or DeviceNET interface.  These interfaces are accom-
plished through the use of a serial bridge.  The serial  bridge is provided by MKS Instruments, Inc .  See 
the latest MKS documentation for detai ls on sending and receiving messages. 
 
Logical I/O
 
The controller has five st atus bytes of outputs.

Ethernet/IP
 
The controller will accept a conn ection from an Ethernet/IP master.   The controller has two connection 
assemblies.  One for the controller’s output image (Assem bly Instance 100).  The default size of this is 
34 bytes.  If fastening results are not included then the size is 2 bytes.  And one for the controller’s input 
image (Assembly Instance 112) with a size of 32 bytes.
