15 Angle High Limit - is used for Accept / Reject decision. Rundown does not pass if the measured final a ngle exceeds this limit. Angle Target - the target angle value Angle Low Limit - used for Accept / Reject decis ion. Rundown does not pass if the final angle is below this limit. Rpm Freespeed % - specifies initial tool output-drive speed. The parameter is expressed as a percentage of the tool’s maximum rated speed. Rpm Downshift % - specifies the speed of the tool...

16 Linked PSet Results Reporting: The angle count is reset to 0 at the end of each linked step of a Linked PSet rundown. RBR Combined with a Linked PSet Rundown Note: The RBR, RB, and RBsp, options are only preformed at the end of the last step of a Linked PSet rundown Results Reporting: The results of the last PSet Step in the group are used to report. If the trigger is released before the rundown sequence is complete, the results from the step that the cont roller...

17 2.2.2 Parameter Sets Parameter Enable - check boxes allow the user to generate up to 32 different sets of parameters. Each set can be used individua lly or sets can be arranged into batch sequence. If the box is unchecked and the param eters are sent to the controller it deletes the parameter set. Copy - button allows the user to copy one set of parameters into another. The user must specify the destination parameter set number. Delete - removes parameter from overall set....

18 2.3 CurveWare In ToolWare, select from the top menu or select directly from the lower menu to open window shown in the Figure 2.3. Only rundown information after most recent Power On of the controller can be graphed. Figure 2.3 CurveWare example Max Torque - is the upper torque limit of the rundown Max Angle - is the upper angle limit of the rundown No. of Data Points - is the number of data points that should be used in the plot. Maximal number of acquired data points...

19 Save - saves data points of all curves in the plot in ASCII file. Remove - removes the currently selected plot from the graph. Receive/View - Receive/View allows the user to choose the display features of the graph. Torque – downloads and displays torque data points. Angle – downloads and disp lays angle data points. PSet - displays markers indicati ng parameter set values. View Controls Pan - reposition the view in the drawing area. Pan/Zoom – change magnification. View...

20 Figure 2.4 Monitor I/O screen Off Delay - specifies how long the output signal will be ON before turning OFF. Each of the 8 input fields corresponds to the output field. Example: If 200 is the value in the first field that the output signal for Accept will be ON for duration of 200 mSec. If the value is 0, then the corresponding output will re main ON indefinitely or until the next rundown starts. Control Source – allows user to choose the source that controls the tool operation...

21 USB - is used if the computer is connected with the controll er using the USB connection in the computer. Ethernet - can be selected to set the IP address the connection should use. Offline mode - gives the user the opportunity to -edi t parameter files and configuration files to save without being c onnected to the controller 2.5.2 Open Enables the user to select the file to open 2.5.3 Save Saves the file to the PC in the specified directory 2.5.4 Print Print the Screen...

22 2.6 Controller 2.6.1 View Firmware Rev Displays the current DSP revision and Servo Rev 2.6.2 Edit Configuration Parameters The user can Edit the controller configuration from this screen. The screen is shown in Figure 2.6.2. Figure 2.6.2 Edit Controller Parameter screen Adaptive Control Enable - Adaptive control is a useful option when a high CPK (Process Capability) is chosen as the most important variable. This is done by adjusting the control to ensure the average...
Page 69
23 Off - Turns adaptive control off. The tool wi ll produce torque until the target torque is achieved. Therefore, all resu lts will be equal to or greater than the target. This will cause the average torque to be greater t han the target torque, thus making it extremely difficult to produce a high CPK. First Ten - Takes an average of the first ten readings in a new parameter set and adjusts the control to make the average to rque correspond with the target torque. Therefore, there will be...

24 Rundown-Backoff-Rundown This feature includes three modes t hat engage reverse rotation of the tool. Enable – activates the feature. There are four options available when the feature is enabled. Rundown Backoff SP - Tool will rundown to selected PSet torque, reverse the fastener a set number of degrees defined by Back Off Degrees. Reports the Torque and Angle from the rundown. Rundown-Backoff-Rundown – Rundown to the 1 st Rundown torque (specified below) then reverse the fa...
