Tightening

Bolts marked with Disconnected OK/NOK will be treated as disconnected for the corresponding mode.
That is, they will not be executed but return a result, either OK or NOK depending on the selection.
Disconnecting bolts here is equivalent to disconnecting them using the Bolt Status parameter of the Bolt
with the difference that the selecting is only valid for specific modes.
Leaving a cell empty will have the effect that the bolt is not run when the station is started in the given
mode. This corresponds to setting the PLC out BOLTCONTROL to the value 3, that is "Do not run", for the
bolt. This may be very useful for so called stitching applications where the same spindle is used to tighten
several bolts. See also the description of the PLC Bolt variables.
Bolts marked with Program from PLC will get the program to run from the PLC when the station is started
in the given mode. The station will use the PLC out BOLTCONTROL to find the program for the bolt. It is
essential that all programs used by Program from PLC have PgmNo between 1 and 150. Program from
PLC may be very useful when the combinations of programs to run on different bolts are many and you
want the PLC logic to determine what tightening program to run on different bolts. It is possible to combine
program numbers with “Do not run” if stitching or reject management is to be handled. See also the
description of the PLC Bolt variables.
You may type the program name directly in the cells, but it is probably easier to use the copy function to
the right. It is used as follows:
1. Mark the program you want to copy in the Tightening Program list.
2. Mark the cells in the mode table you want the name copied to.
3. Press the button next to the Tightening Program list.
To clear the selected Tightening Program from a number of cells mark them and press the Clear button
next to the Tightening Program list.
If you want to Create a new Tightening Program, press New….to open the New Program wizard.
To edit or view a program, mark it in the Tightening program list and press Open…. This will open The
Tightening Program form.
The list labeled Spindle to the left lists all spindles available for the current station. The default spindle of
all the bolts in a station belongs to the station. In addition to that, a secondary spindle on TCs for the
default spindles also belongs to the station.
Use the copy function to select a spindle.
1. Mark the spindle you want to copy in the Spindle list.
2. Mark the cells in the mode table you want the name copied to.
3. Press the button next to the Spindle list.
To clear the selected Spindle from a number of cells mark them and press the Clear button next to the
Spindle list.
If a spindle is not explicitly selected the default spindle of the bolt will be used (set up using System /Bolt
node). This means that if the default spindle is changed for the bolt, the new spindle will automatically be
used to tighten the bolt.
Press Print to print the current Mode Table configuration. The document printed on your systems default
printer includes the settings for all used modes, that is, all modes for which a name is specified.
