Do not disconnect a tool during
tightening, loosening, positioning, motor
tuning, open-end tuning or tracking.
Logical disconnection is not necessary for
ST and SL tools (this tool types allows hot
swap functionality).
If the operation succeeded, the green OK LED flashes continuously (on the Power Focus) and the
message “Command accepted” is displayed. Click OK to continue.
If disconnection of the tool was not allowed, the red NOK LED flashes continuously for 3 seconds and
the text “Operation failed” is displayed. Click OK to continue.
When a tool is connected again, E131 Tool disconnected is displayed and then acknowledged automatically.
In order to be able to use digital I/O to disconnect the tool, one digital input must be configured as
Disconnect tool and optionally one relay can be configured as Safe to disconnect tool.
Once configured, proceed as following to logically disconnect the tool using digital I/O:
Set voltage level on the digital input (configured as Disconnect tool) to high in order to logically
disconnect the tool
If the operation succeeded, the relay configured as Safe to disconnect tool switches and the green OK
LED (on PF) will flash continuously. If disconnection of the tool was not allowed, the relay
configured as Safe to disconnect tool does not switch and the red NOK LED flashes continuously for 3
seconds
Disconnect the tool
When a tool is inserted again, E131 Tool disconnected is displayed and then acknowledged
automatically
Do not physically disconnect an S or DS tool, unless it has first been successfully logically
disconnected. This can damage the tool memory. If the user physically disconnects a non-
ST tool, without a successfully logically disconnection, PF has to be rebooted before
connecting the tool again.
