3.8.1 ATS
The ATS (Assembly Tools Software) works together with PF to complete the tightening process. The
following software products are part of ATS.
ToolsNet
ToolsNet works together with the controllers and the selected database, MS SQL Server or Oracle to
collect, store and visualize all historic tightening-related data. ToolsNet allows the user to get reports on
shifts, lines, individual vehicles or controllers for process improvement purposes. All the reports can
easily be exported to Excel.
 ToolsNet can be used as a standalone product or together with the other modules from the ATS.
Factory Overview
Factory Overview is the portal to the tightening process. It visualizes the whole process and makes it
possible to monitor all tightening applications from one central place. Factory Overview can be used both
as a standalone product and together with the other modules from the ATS.
Event Monitor
Event Monitor offers real-time event reporting from the controllers in a centralized and filtered format.
Event Monitor can be used both as a standalone product and together with the other modules
from the ATS.
Open Protocol
The PF open protocol can be run using Ethernet or serial communication. It is a full duplex protocol,
which means that data can be exchanged in both directions simultaneously. Every communication partner
must be able to operate a send and receive facility simultaneously.
The torque controller is the server and the station computer the client. The torque controller can accept up
to 5 connections at a time. The protocol used is TCP/IP.
