The Final Torque Sample graph shows the final 
torque of each rundown in the collection.  
For reference, the Parameter Set values for Torque Hi, Torque Lo w, and Torque Target 
are taken from the first rundown in the  collection and plotted as vertical lines. 
 
 
 
2.11  AcraVision  
AcraVision displays the current rundown informat ion in an easy to read screen. If there is 
a failure in the tightening the Tor que/Angle is displayed in red.  
 
Use  Record Rundowns to save the Rundown informat ion straight to the Computer 
memory.  You can use View saved rundowns to see the saved rundowns.

3. Addendum 
3.1  Fault codes  
Fault codes are displayed to inform the operator about what is happening  in the Controller 
and why something doesn’t behave as expected.

Fault Description   
						

							 47
TID Timeout:
 No Communication between the tool  and controller. This fault condition 
is usually caused by a problem in the tool  ID board. Try connecting another tool to the 
controller 
   Tool GND:  The tool ground loop is broken. This fault condition is usually caused by a 
problem in the controller or  tool. Try the tool and cable on another controller. The fault 
can be intermittent.  
   Power on Throttle:  The System thinks that the thro ttle is being activated or the run 
command through logic I/O is turned on. You can verify this by monitoring the tool 
buttons in toolware. Make sure that t he throttle is completely returning home 
completely after being released.  
 
Button Timeout : The button signals from the tool are not being received by the 
controller in a certain amount of time.  Try connecting another tool to the system. 
 
Button State: An illegal light ring state has occurr ed. Two or more direction halls are 
enabled. You can verify this by monitoring  buttons using ToolWare. Try recalibrating 
the buttons using ToolWare (CW, C enter, and CCWorTrigger and MFB button 
Undefined Voltage : Either the controller voltage c onfiguration or the tool voltage 
parameter are undefin ed. Try the tool on another system.  
 
Incompatible Voltage : The controller is not compatible with the tool.  
  Illegal tool : A tubenut tool is connected to  a system setup for multiples. 
  Free Run Timeout : The tool has run for a period of time before seeing the threshold 
torque. The throttle must be released and pressed again before the tool will run 
again. This time is adjustable using T oolWare. The default value is 5 seconds.  
 
Load Run Timeout : The tool has run for a period of  time after seeing the threshold 
torque. The throttle must be released and pressed again before the tool will run 
again. This time is adjustable using T oolWare. The default value is 15 seconds. 
   Hall Error : The motor hall sensors (for commutat ion) have achieved an illegal state a 
specific number of times. If  the tool does not run at all  or the square drive has to be 
rotated before the tool will run the moto r is probably damaged. Run this tool on a 
different controller to determ ine where the problem lies.  
 
Tool Offset: Based on the offset value of the  transducer during re-zero and the tool 
cal value, the tool cannot mathematically  reach the target torque. This problem can 
occur if the cal value has been drasticall y changed and the target torque in near the 
max torque of the tool. Try re setting the cal value to defaults and calibrating the tool 
using an approved rotary transducer.  
Tool Level: The tool transducer output voltage has exceeded the maximum or 
minimum allowable value. Try  the tool on another system.   
						

							 48
 
Locked rotor: The controller has not sensed hall 
transitions from the motor for a 
period of time. This is possible if the tool  is trying to achieve a high torque at a low 
speed. Increase the rundown speeds and make sure the tool is calibrated properly. It 
is also possible that the controller is f aulty. If the tool does not run at all try 
connecting it to a different controller.  
 
Drive Fault : The servo drive is not trying to  run the tool. Try the tool on another 
controller.  
 
PSet Value : An illegal rundown parameter set has  been sent to the controller. Try 
resetting the parameter sets back to factory defaults.  
   
TID Parameter Value: The tool sent an illegal paramet er to the controller. Try cycling 
power to the system. Also, try  the tool on another system.  
 
TID Parameter Timeout : The tool did not respond to  a requested parameter for a 
period of time. Try cycling power to the system. Also, try the tool on another system.  
 
Target Value Fault : The target torque is set higher  than the capacity of the tool. 
  No Direction Hall : The tool was told to start r unning either from the throttle or 
through logic I/O but it wasn’t told what di rection to go. Use ToolWare to monitor the 
buttons. Make sure the wiring to the I/O is  correct if running the tool remotely.  
  Xdcr Level : The tool transducer output voltage has exceeded the maximum or 
minimum allowable level.
