FEC Handheld Nutrunner HFC3000 - Input Initial Setting Data

Chapter 5 Power Up and Operational tests
PAGE 5-4
5-3 Input Initial Setting Data
After completion of the System verification/power on procedure, the system is ready for the input of data
required for fastening operation. Chapters 7 gives details on the types of information required and the
procedure for entering data into the System. The system will not run until this data is correctly set-up.
Programming should be performed using the FEC Inc. “HFC3000 Userconsole” software to simplify the
programming operation and to provide a means of creating a back-up file of the set-up.
NOTE: If the HFC3000 controller has data programmed already, it should be considered preliminary and
be adjusted according to actual process / part runs for optimal performance.
After the system is setup with the appropriate data, verify the controller has not been placed in BYPASS
[PROG} on display. Also, check that STOP is not displayed on the front display. If it is, the Stop signal is
being input from the external control equipment (PLC, selector switch, etc.) OR the system STOP state
has been programmed to require a STOP signal input before running [SYS Data No. 033].
Perform the following procedure from the front panel of the controller:
1) Zero Value Check
Press the RESET button on the front panel display and check that the value displayed on the
unit is at or near zero and the red NG (Reject) LED is not on.
2) CAL. Point Check
Press the CAL button on the front panel display and check that the red NG (Reject) LED is not
on.
Before performing the following tests, make sure nothing is in the area of the
nutrunner tool prior to activating a spindle or other moveable component.
3) Manual REVERSE Check
▪ Rotate the tool REVERSE ring switch so that the LED status lights flash yellow (Reverse
Mode). With the tool output not touching any part and held in the open air, pull the tool start
trigger and confirm the tool rotation is turning in the appropriate direction (opposite the
parameter preset fastening direction).
NOTE: : If any HFC Controller fails to rotate, correct the situation before continuing.
Confirm correct cable connections and that REVERSE Speed has been programming into the
controller parameter set.
4) Manual START Check
▪ (Confirm that the tool REVERSE ring switched has been switched back to the normal run
position) With the tool output not touching any part and held in the open air, press the
START trigger and verify that the connected tool runs in the correct direction until the
pre-programmed time elapses, creating a (time) reject.
▪ Press the RESET button on the Main operator panel to clear the REJECT light and
outputs from the HFC Controller.
5) External I/O Operation Check (when connected to a PLC)
Verify that the equipment will operate with an instruction from the external control equipment
(PLC, selector switch, etc.). Use the PLC to perform all of the I/O functions that are being used
(START, RESET, STOP, BUSY, ACCEPT, etc.).
