 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 controller. The ex clusions are based 
on the results of the rundowns.  
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 Tool –  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 toggling the RESET_BATCH Logic I/O input     
   (default) . 
  Option 2: Re -enable the tool by selecting a new PSET or by toggling the 
RESET_BATCH input. (This option gives the  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 insuring the rotation of the fastener is done at a constan t velocity  
						

							 32 
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.  SCC 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 mode 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 Parameter 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  
become effective.  Prompts will indicate to the user this requirement and the LED on the IEC 
controller will change to OFF indicating that a Power Cycle is required.  
 
While Low Speed Control has many benefits and is not inherently negative to tool 
perform ance 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  accurately in  Low Speed Control  Mode.  
•  Ergo Mode is not usable when 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 unable 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 appears on IEC  Tool  re -enabling accomplished 
by (to be determined)  
•  Option de- selected – Tool remains enabled, LED warning appears on IEC  
 
Angle Count Configuration 
  T his option  determines when the angle count 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.    
						

							 33 
 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 added to iEC angle measurement.   
  A value of 110 = 10 degrees subtracted 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 
Sets the date  and time in the Controller  
 
 
2.6.5  Reset Controller to Defaults  
This option r esets the Controller configuration  to its factory  default state.

Tool Setup 
 
Each tool has a special parameter file that defines the tool. You can view the parameter file 
for that tool and how it differs  from what is in the tool.  The tool 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 their application need and send it to the tool .

Multiplier  - Configures the tool to include gearing added to the base model.  
Units: Gear Ratio * 100.  
a.  Example: Adding a multiplier with a gear ratio  of 5:1, Multiplier setting = 5. 
 
 
Obstruction  Torque - In 1st 90° degrees of rotation in the tightening  direction cycle will be 
aborted if this torque is exceeded. If the tool rotates 90° degrees and stops without any 
obstruction, the value is too low.  
  
						

							 36 
Open Loop - After reaching the open position, this open loop torque prevents the socket 
from bouncing to a partially closed position. This torque should be set to a value slightly less 
than the tube nut home torque.  
 
Home  - In the reverse direction, reaching this torque indicates to the controller the socket is 
in the open position. If the socket does not attempt to return to the open position or returns 
at an extremely fast rate this value is too low. AcraDyne recommends starting at about 12 
in -lbs.  
 
 
2.7.3   Calibrate

2.8 Rundowns  
Data for rundowns in all or selected Parameter Sets  can be displayed in a tabular format. 
This  information can then  be saved as a “Ms.csv”  File. 
 
 You can  print the rundown  results by using File - >Print in the menu.  
 
 Rundowns must be saved to a file before the statistics function can be used to 
evaluate the data.  
 
 Controller memory can be cleared by clicking the “Clear  iEC Rundown Memory” 
button  
 
2.8.1   Download Data 
 
  If rundown data is to be analyzed with the Statistics function, select  All Data 
  If no statistical analysis is to be applied, select Results Only.  This will significantly 
decrease the time taken to download the data from the controller to the PC.
