    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 
     Communication with SCS Freedom wrenches via Bluetooth or Rs232 interface Protocol 
     Communication with external Host to receive commands for wrenches and send results via rs232 or Ethernet or 
    I/O 
     2 serial ports 
     Ethernet  
     File system for storing application, configurations and results 
     64Kb memory to store tightening results (2000 results) 
     8 24V input lines 
     8 24V output lines

    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 application system this is the reason 
    why FIM can be interposed between wrenches and customer’s system. 
     
    4.1 BT interface module 
    When using BT communicating wrenches a Bluetooth interface module must be used together with FIM. This is 
    normally provoded by SCS. Following is Bluetooth connection description

    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 application 
     Enable/disable wrench 
     Retrieve information on the status of the work cycle

    6 SCS standard FIM firmwares 
    Two standard firmwares can be preloaded to FIM module by SCS according to the type of application 
     
    6.1 FIM generic application with 5 Input 
    This application allows to: 
    1. 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 job report on serial Micronic Star printer or similar 
    7. Receive  and store scanned part number string on Rs232 
    8. Enable wrench after scan or print (when no I/O are used for enabling) 
    9. Save up to 2000 result to be uploaded to SCS SQNet software 
     
    6.1.1 Rs232/UDP result telegram format: 
     
     
     
     
    Torque  Angle  OK=1;KO=0 JobOK=1 BatchOk=1 Program description 
     
    6.2 Software functions configuration 
    Programmable I/O function and function enabling (print, scan…) can be made via a ini file  (FimCfg.txt)  to be copied 
    into FIM file system during installation.

    6.2.2 Installing application executable and configuration files 
    SCS FIM module is provided with an FTP server. 
    A standard FTP client application for windows  such as FTPcommander can be used to copy executable files and 
    FIMCfg.txt file to the mosule file system. Access to the FTP server using following username and password 
    Username : ftp 
    Password: ftp 
    6.2.3 Viewing FIM application debug output 
    Applications running on FIM applications normally output debug and information messages on the video standard 
    output, since no display is normally connected to FIM it is possible to display those messages on a PC using a remote 
    console application such as telnet. 
    This is particularly usefull to understand if the system is working properly. 
     
    To do this follow this procedure: 
    1. Connect a crossed ethernet cable between PC and FIM RJ45 connector 
    2. Set PC IP to an IP compatible with FIM’s IP (ex.: FIM IP= 192.168.10.200, PC IP= 192.168.10.201) 
    3. Start windows command prompt on PC (cmd.exe) 
    4. Type  telnet FIM IP on DOS shell of the PC (ex.: telnet 192.168.10.200) 
    5. Enter username tel and password tel 
    6. Messages similar to the ones in the following figures should be displayed

    6.3 FIM RS232/UDP server  
    This is a simple RS232 or UDP interface that using a simple ASCII protocol allows to do the following 
     
    1. Enable/disable the wrench via  
    2. 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… 
    Outputs 
    Inputs 
    Ethernet
