This icon opens the Sync programming section.
Up to ten PF units in the same logical Cell can be Synchronized to perform the same task
simultaneously, a function known as Sync. This type of operation requires Synchronization
of the Power Focuses involved.
This icon opens the Identifier programming section.
It is possible to send an Identifier string to a PF. This string is normally sent by a barcode
reader connected to one of the serial ports on PF. (This barcode is in car plants usually
known as a VIN or ESN).
This icon opens the fieldbus programming section.
Fieldbus communication is useful for data communication between PF and PLC’s. It is an
effective and fast way for the data transfer of short data packages.
This icon opens the programming window for the first Logical Configurator.
The ToolsTalk PF software feeds the controller (PF 4000 only) with inputs, called
Configurator sheets. The Configurator sheets consist of a Relay status array and a DigIn
status array. The arrays have the status of each relay/digital input function (if the function is
defined on the internal I/O’s or one of the I/O Expanders).
Every Logic Configurator circuit instruction list is evaluated every 100 ms which
corresponds to a tick or every time an input status changed.
Click on the arrow to the right to select between existing Logical Configurators (shown
along with number and name).
Use the function in the PF Map to create a new Logical Configurator.
Click on the arrow to the right of this icon to select an appropriate monitor; Result monitor,
Job monitor, Operator monitor, Identifier monitor and Get all results.
ToolsTalk PF provides a number of monitors designed to present extensive information
about the various functions of Power Focus.
Click the Trace icon to bring up a graphical display of the tightening results.
Via the Trace function it is possible to view tightening graphs with different display settings.
Click on Statistic icon to display statistical results and graphs. Via the arrow to the right it is
possible to select a statistic to run.
