13 2.2 Setting Parameters In ToolWare, select from the top menu or select directly from the lower menu to open window shown in the Figure 2. 2. ToolWare can send and receive up to 32 Parameter sets to the controller. Figure 2. 2 Parameter Sets View/Edit Window
14 2.2.1 Parameter Entry Fields Strategy - Select one of four fastening strategy options . o Tc - Torque Control strategy uses torque as the only control parameter. The Tool stops when Tq Target is reached. Rundown is considered to be successful ( Accept) if the final torque value falls within the range specified by Tq High Limit and Tq Low Limit parameters. o Tc-Am - Torque Control /Angle Monitoring strategy is convenient for detection of cross threaded or stripped fasteners. Rundown is considered to be successful ( Accept) if the final torque value f alls within the range specified by Tq High Limit and Tq Low Limit and final angle value falls within the range specified by Angle High Limit and Angle Low Limit parameters. o Tm-Ac - Torque Monitoring / Angle Control strategy. The tool stops when Angle Target is reached or Tq High Limit is exceeded. Rundown is considered to be successful ( Accept) if the final torque value falls within the range specified by torque upper and lower limits . o Tc-Ac - Torque Control / Angle Control strategy . The tool stops if t arget torque or target angle is reached, whichever happens first. Rundown is considered to be successful ( Accept) if both the final torque value and final angle value fall within their respective high and low limits . Direction - defines fastening direction. It should be clock -wise (CW) for right - threaded fasteners and counter -clock-wise (CCW) for left -threaded fasteners . Tq High Limit - used for Accept / Reject decision. Rundown does not pass if the measured torque exceeds this limit. Tq Target - the target torque value. Tq Low Limit - used for Accept / Reject decision. Rundown does not pass if the torque measured at the end of rundown is below this limit. Tq ± % - high and low torque limits are automatically and sym metrically set around the target value. Tq Downshift - the torque value at which the tool changes the speed from Freespeed RPM to Downshift RPM, in order to provide better accuracy of a final torque Tq Threshold - specifies torque threshold value as a start point for the rundown cycle data acquisition. Cycle Complete - the torque value that de fines the completion of a fastening cycle. The cycle is complete if, after rising above the Tq Threshold value, torque drops below the Cycle Complete value.
15
Angle High Limit - is used for Accept / Reject decision. Rundown does not pass
if the measured final angle exceeds this limit.
Angle Target - the target angle value
Angle Low Limit - used for Accept / Reject decision. 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 maxim um rated speed.
Rpm Downshift % - specifies the speed of the tool after the Tq Downshift value
is reached. The value is expressed as a percentage of the tool‘s maxi mum rated
speed.
Ergo Mode - activates tool power ramping-down mode when fastening achieves
Target Torque or Target Angle value. This feature reduces torque reaction in the
hand- held tool as final torque or angle is achieved.
Soft Start - activates tool power ramping -up from zero to Rpm Freespeed%
value. This allows for slower engagement of the fastener into the application.
Linked PSets – creat es a group of sequential Parameter Sets actuated by a
single trigger pull. To define the last Parameter Set in the group, unselect “Link
PSet” by placing a 0 in the field.
Link Delay - used to add a delay time between the linked steps .
Running a Linked PSet rundown:
To run a Linked PSet group, select the first PSet in the group as the
“Current PSet”. (Via the CHANGE PSET button on the controller, or using
Logic IO, or using the “Current” PSet selection in Toolware)
Link the PSet s by selecting the next PSet in the Current PSet ’s “Link PSet”
Drop down. If you want to have a delay between the rundowns enter that in
the “Link Delay” Drop Down box. If you want to link more PSet s then
repeat this step.
Run the tool as usual by pressing and holding the throttle.
The tool will sequence thru each PSet in the Linked PSet group.
At the completion of last the PSet of the group, the controller will signify the
Linked PSet rundown is complete by lighting the cycle accept (or reject) led
and turning off the blue In- cycle led.
The current PSet will automatically reset to the first PSet in the group to
ready for the next rundown.
A release and repress of the trigger is necessary to start the next Linked
PSet rundown.

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 controller was currently running, before being interrupted,
are reported.
The controller reports curve data from the last rundown step and any linked
previous steps if not separated by a delay time.
Batch Processing:
ToolWare allows the user to specify PSet s for the sequence of rundowns. During
the batch process the controller monitors each rundown and switches PSet s
automatically. We can control the actions of the controller as each step in the
batch is completed. When PSets are linked only the last PSet has batch settings.
Count Preset – defines the number of accepted (ACCEPT) rundowns that must
be completed for the associated parameter set
Action At Preset Count Complete - The choice of options for end- of-batch
events is:
Act1 - Reset count and output batch complete
Act2 - Hold count and output batch complete
Act3 - Disable tool – Hold count and output batch complete
Act4 - Go to next PSet & do not output batch complete
Act5 - Go to next PSet and output batch complete
Next PSet – determines the parameter set that is automatically activated when
the count for the associated PSet is reached
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 individually or sets can be arranged into batch sequence. If the box is unchecked and the parameters 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 des tination parameter set number. Delete - removes parameter from overall set. Receive - downloads parameters from the iEC Controller to PC. Downloaded parameters are displayed but not saved in the PC. Send - uploads the current parameters from ToolWare to the controller. The controller will automatically switch to Parameter Set #1 after all parameter sets have been loaded. New - allows the u ser to create a new set of parameters, regardless of what set is selected as currently active in the Controller or in the ToolWare. Open - opens a saved Parameter file stored in the computer and displays it in the ToolWare Screen. Parameter set must be SENT to the controller to be used. Save - saves the parameter sets displayed on the ToolWare screen as a file to a designated location on the computer. Reset to Factory Defaults - r esets the controller’s parameters to the factory settings. If Reset To Factory Defaults is selected while tool is connected to controller, three parameter sets will be configured at 3 0%, 40% and 60% of th e tool ’s maximum rated torque If Reset To Factory Defaults is selected while tool is disconnected from controller , eight parameters sets will be configured at 10 Nm, 20Nm, 30 Nm, 40 Nm, 50 Nm 60 Nm, 70 Nm and 80 Nm Change units - changes the torque units in the ToolWare. Select SEND to change units in the Controller also . Convert Units in C ontroller and ToolWare - if checked , automatically converts units in controller and ToolWare to new units when new unit of measurement is selected. If Rundown- Backoff-Rundown or Low Speed Control are active in the controller, User will be notified on this screen .
18 2.3 CurveWare In ToolWare , select from the top menu or select < CurveWare> directly from the lower menu to open < CurveWare> window shown in the Figure 2. 3. Only rundown information after most recent Power On of the controller can be graphed .
