Ramp (ms)
- the amount of time from the end of the soft start period until the tool
reaches the Freespeed RPM (default 600 ms)
Start Delay
Start Delay On/Off - When enabled, the tool will ignore programmed torque
parameters until the timer runs out. This is often used in jobs with prevailing torque
that exceeds target torque. The default setting is disabled
Start Delay (ms) - The amount of time at the beginning of the fastening cycle,
measured in milliseconds, which the tool will ignore programm ed torque parameters.
(default 500 ms)
Time Controls
Free Run Timeout – The amount of time, in seconds, the tool is allowed to run free
without the load (before reaching cycle threshold). This is a safety feature in case
the tool is placed down on the throttl e. The default setting is 5 seconds.
Load Timeout - The amount of time the tool is allowed to run after crossing cycle
threshold. The default setting is 15 seconds.
Cycle Complete - The amount of time, in ms, the torque must remain below cycle
complete before the event is counted as a cycle and the final torque is displayed
(default 200 ms).
Locked Rotor - Safety feature which shuts off the tool when it has reached a stalled
condition. The amount of time, which the tool can remain in a stalled condition, is
programmed (in milliseconds). The default setting is 100 ms.

Buttons from Tool/IO - Determines the source of the Trigger, Forward, Reverse, and
Aux Commands.

Statistics
Minimum Stats - Number of rundowns that need to be preformed before the statistics
will be calculated and displayed on the controller .
Stat Samples - Maximum number of rundowns used for calculating and displaying
statistical data on the iEC controller.
Statistical Outliers - The statistical outliers’ parameter is a code that is used to
determine if the data from a rundown will be excluded from the data set being used in
the static calculations that are displayed on the iEC contro ller. The exclusions are based
on the results of the rundowns.
31 The following are the codes for each exclusion type: 2 - Final Torque Result Above High Limit 4 - Final Torque Result Below Low Limit 8 - Final Angle Result Above High Limit 16 - Final Angle Result Below High Limit 128 - Re-Hit To exclude any combination of the above list add up the code values. Example: To exclude all rundowns where the final torque was above the high limit (2) or the angle was below the low limit (16), Set the value for statistical outliers to 2 +16 = 18 Lock on Reject When enabled, this prevents the tool from starting a new rundown if the result of the last rundown was a reject. The tool remains locked until reverse is selected on the tool or from the Logic IO Reverse Input. The Default setting is off. Batch Hold Reset Batch Control Reset Options for: “Disable To ol – Hold Count & Output Batch Complete” The following are options to re-enable the tool after it has been disabled in batch control: Option 1: Re-enable the tool by toggli ng the RESET_BATCH Logic I/O input (default). Option 2: Re-enable the tool by sele cting a new PSET or by toggling the RESET_BATCH input. (This option gives t he operator that ability to manually re- enable the tool from the Controller front panel by pressing the CHANGE PSET button.) Low Speed Control Mode: Low Speed Control mode is designed to allow a tool to apply torque energy more consistently to a joint at lower RPM’s. The feature precisely manages power delivery to the tool motor from the servo insuri ng the rotation of the fastener is done at a constant velocity even when the desired RPM is extremely slow. IEC controllers are able to run this feature assuming the servo in the controller is REVB or higher and SCC code is 1.16 or higher. S CC installed code and Servo REV level is indicated each time the controller is powered on. This information is visible on the LED display. Controllers capable of Low Speed Control m ode default to standard control unless selection of Low Speed Control is consciously made. Confirmation of Low Speed Control being in effect is shown in red type on the Parame ter Set screen whenever it is in use. Low Speed Control is a feature that applies across all PSETs globally. Selection of Low Speed Control ON or OFF requires a Power Cycling of the IEC control for the change to
32
become effective. Prompts will
indicate to the user this requirement and the LED on the IEC
controller will change to OFF indicati ng that a Power Cycle is required.
While Low Speed Control has many benefits and is not inherently negative to tool
performance when left in use, it does apply slightly higher power levels to the tool motor and
in high duty cycle applications where it is not necessary, this feature should be turned off.
Specific Information Related to Low Speed Control: • RPM range of tools when used with Low Speed Control activated is 4%-100% of the
tool’s normal speed rating
• TubeNut tools may not home accura tely in Low Speed Control Mode.
• Ergo Mode is not usable w hen using Low Speed Control
• Low Speed Control is effective on all 1000 Series, 2000 Series and 3000 Series tools up to 90NM (larger tools are una ble to use this feature)
Disable Tool when SVC/CAL Due
• Option to select(Default) – Disable tool in preset Service or Calibration period
exceeded (date or time) LED warning appea rs on IEC Tool re-enabling accomplished
by (to be determined)
• Option de-selected – Tool remains enabled, LED warning appears on IEC
Angle Count Configuration
This option determines when the angle co unt is started. Start angle count at
threshold (default): The angle count is started when the tool crosses threshold
torque,
Start angle count on throttle.: The angle count is started when the tool is activated.
Gen 3 / 4 Buzzer and Headlight
Buzzer ON -When enabled, the Buzzer serves two purposes:
o In disassembly mode, the buzzer beeps. When a rundown is rejected the
buzzer also beeps.
o If a rundown is rejected, the beeping can be stopped by making a successful
rundown or using the MFB option "Stop Reject Tone".
Headlight ON - Enables or Disables the Headlight.

2.6.3 Angle Offset Calibration
Angle Calibration Value:
The value for this will determine how much to add or subtract to the angle
measured and reported by the iEC controller.
The offset is added at the start of threshold.
The default value for this is 100. The range is 1 to 200.
The units are (value - 100) = degrees of correction.
Examples:
A value of 100 = No correction. This is the default value.
A value of 90 = 10 degrees adde d to iEC angle measurement.
A value of 110 = 10 degrees subtra cted from iEC angle measurement.
Reset to Factory Calibration: The angle calibration value will be set to 100 = No
correction.
Angle Offset Calibration Routine: Toolware will automaticity calculate and send the angle
offset calibration value to the controller.
2.6.4 View/Edit Date Time

2.6.5 Reset Controller to Defaults This option resets the Controller confi guration to its factory default state.

The to ol Information such as Tool Id, Tool Model number, Tool cycle count and Tool Multiplier value are displayed. The User can change the Tube nut Parameters according to thei r application need and send it to the tool. Figure 2.7.2 Tool Configuration and tubenut tool setup
