SCS FIM module Page 3 2 Abstract This document is intended as a description of hardware and software facilities of SCS FIM module. 3 Overview SCS FIM module (Freedom Interface Module) is a hardware device provided with a programmable CPU and several communication interfaces used to integrate SCS Freedom wrenches with customers system, in order to control production flow and achieve tightening traceability. It’s principal characteristics are: CPU with customizable software ...

SCS FIM module Page 4 4 Communication between FIM and Wrenches FIM can communicate with SCS wrenches by one of the following media: Bluetooth, using a BT to Rs232 module Rs232 direct, when using cabled wrenches 868MHz Radio An advanced communication protocol allows FIM to control a wide range of parameters allowing to control the wrench operations in real-time and to retrieve production results. In most cases this protocol is too complicate to be implemented by customer’s...

SCS FIM module Page 5 5 Communication between FIM and customer system FIM can be interfaced to customer system in different ways, according the type of desired communication a different application firmware should be installed in SCS FIM module, see later chapter SCS standard FIM firmwares 1. 24V I/O 2. Rs232 3. Ethernet UDP messages 5.1 24V I/O When using I/O a PLC or PC can use 24V I/O lines to: Select tightening programs formerly loaded to wrench using SCS SQNet windows...

Manage one single wrench 2. Enable/disable the wrench via 24V I/O 3. Select tightening program or job to activate 4. Receive the tightening or job status via FIM 24V outputs 5. Receive tightening torque and angle result via RS232 or UDP messages 6. Print tightening or...

Select tightening program activate 3. Receive tightening torque and angle result 7 Installation A typical FIM installation can be as follows: FIM module itself 12V Power supply for FIM 5V Power supply for external BT box RS232 To BT box or direct to wrench RS232 to printer/bar code…...
