General safety instructions
1 General safety instructions
Ensure that you read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all the instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
All locally legislated safety regulations with regard to installation, operation and maintenance must be
adhered to at all times. Refer installation and servicing to qualified personnel only.
1.1 Work area
Keep the work area clear and well illuminated. Cluttered benches and unlit areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors at a safe distance while operating a power tool. Distractions may
cause you to lose control.
1.2 Electrical safety
Earthed tools must be plugged into a socket that has been properly installed and earthed according to
appropriate regulations. Never remove the earth pin or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in any doubt as to whether the outlet is properly earthed.
Should the tools suffer electronic malfunction or breakdown, the earth provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user. Applicable only to Class I (earthed) tools.
This apparatus must be earthed.
A Power Focus (PF) cannot be fitted with a galvanic isolated voltage as this would inhibit the function of
the Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI). The test button on the GFI also activates the GFI in instances where a
PF is equipped with an isolated transformer. Test the earth fault protector by pressing the test button located
on the rear panel of the PF.
Test the earth protector every month by pressing the test button. Should the earth fault protector disconnect
the system, be sure to find the primary reason before you resume operation.
Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock. This instruction does not apply to tools classified as watertight or splash proof.
For minimum electrical interference, locate the controller as far as possible from sources of electrical noise,
e.g. arc welding equipment etc.
Do not abuse the power lead. Never use the power lead to carry the tool or to pull the plug from a socket.
Keep the power lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged leads immediately.
Damaged leads increase the risk of electric shock.

General safety instructions
1.3 Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A momentary lapse in concentration
whilst operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Tie long hair back. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can become caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure switches are in the off position before plugging in. Carrying a tool with
your finger on the switch or plugging in a tool that has the switch set to “on” is inviting an accident.
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool could lead to personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use clamps or other practical means to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct Atlas Copco Tensor tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the Job better and more safely in a manner for which it was designed.
Do not use a tool if the switch does not work. Any tool that cannot be controlled by the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of the tool starting accidentally. The mains plug is
considered to be a disconnecting device. Disconnect the tool from the mains by removing the plug from the
socket in order to cut the power.
Store tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons when not in use. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
Check for misalignment, obstruction of moving parts, damage, and any other condition that may affect tool
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Poorly maintained tools cause many accidents.
Only use accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
1.4 Service
Tools should only be serviced by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could expose users to serious personal injury.
When servicing a tool, only use original replacement parts. Use of unauthorised parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may lead to electric shock or personal injury.
There is a risk of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same
or equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used batteries in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

3 Introduction to Power Focus
Power Focus is the latest generation of control and monitoring systems for advanced tightening
technology. The system is designed for the modern assembly industry with high demands and stringent
quality and efficiency requirements, and offers full modularity through the combination of hardware and
software.
This manual handles the ToolsTalk PF but is also applicable for Power Focus Graph. When
programming on a Power Focus Graph display, we refer to corresponding section in
ToolsTalk PF.
3.1 PF 4000
The PF 4000 is a new generation of control systems suitable for Tensor S, ST, DS and ETX models.
Unlike its predecessor, the PF 3100, the PF 4000 is available in one model with two versions (Compact
and Graph) that can handle all torque levels. This favours your maintenance budget, since fewer backup
units are required.
Advanced control functions built into the Power Focus 4000 prevent the operator deviating from the
required process. When it receives assembly information, the programmed Job function automatically
selects the correct tightening sequence and parameters. When combined with barcode scanning for
component identification, the Job function offers traceable, zero-fault process control.
The controller is equipped with a USB connector for laptop access. It is located on the front of the unit for
maximum accessibility. Communication is also possible over serial RS232, Ethernet TCP/IP and various
field bus types.
The
PF 4000 Graph has an easy-to-read LCD colour
display. Statistical data is collected, analysed and
presented on the screen. Changes and trends in the
assembly process are indicated by diagnostics and
statistical alarms, such as SPC monitor charts and
capability (Cpk) alarms. Alpha-numeric keys allow on-
unit setup and easy checking of traces and statistics. PF
4000 Graph model has a very compact design, and a
standardized mounting plate ensures easy installation
at every workstation.
Completing the range, the
PF 4000 Compact has a basic
operator interface with six-button keyboard and LED
display. Pre-programmed using ToolsTalk PF and with
a PC as the interface, it offers the same functionality as
the Graph model.
See the
PF 4000 ASL (9836 3113 00) for
technical data, dimensions drawings,
connections and spare part list.

3.1.1 Logic Configurator
Power Focus 4000 has an integrated Logic Configurator. This provides limited PLC functionality as an
integrated part of the controller, without additional hardware components. It is possible to configure
specific “PLC style” signal flow between the line or the fixture and the PF 4000. For more information see
chapter
Logic Configurator.
3.1.2 SynchroTork
Available in the Power Focus 4000, SynchroTork allows continuous synchronisation of up to six spindles
during final tightening. This will improve assembly quality in the joints where an even clamp force build-
up is critical, such as in U-bolt applications. The torque difference between the spindles is minimised
during the tightening stage by adjusting the individual speeds.
Synchronisation of the tools is assured through high-speed communication via the proprietary Power
Focus accessory bus. It should be noted that this function does not eliminate the need for a reaction bar, or
similar, in higher-torque applications.
3.1.3 Yield control
With the Power Focus 4000 is it possible to apply a Yield control strategy for the cases where to get the
most out of the fastener. While maintaining productivity, the operator can make the fixtured tool shut off
where each individual bolt yields, and not based on a firm torque or angle value.
See function description for Yield control in section
Control strategies.
Introduction to Power Focus
3.2 PF 3000/3100/3102
The PF 3000 is a control system for Atlas Copco Tensor S and DS tools. PF 3100 is a control system for
Atlas Copco Tensor ST tools (including functionality for S and DS tools).
PF 3102 is the control system
for Atlas Copco Tensor SL tools.
Tensor STB tools require a communication kit to work with Power Focus 3100. The kit
consists of a serial port adapter (access point), cable connector (supplies the serial port
adapter with power). For more information see chapter
Tensor tools .
Two different hardware units are available, Graph and Compact.
PF 3000 Compact offers minimum hardware expenditure and is easily stackable for multiple tool
configurations.
PF 3000 Graph models offer full stand-alone programming via an integrated keyboard and
large display located on the front panel of the unit. PF Graph can also be used as a terminal for one or
more PF Compact controllers.

3.4 ToolsNet
ToolsNet is a part of the ATS (Assembly Tools Software) that works together with PF to complete the
tightening process.
ToolsNet works together with the controllers and the selected database, MS SQL Server or Oracle to
collect, store and visualise 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.

3.7 API
The API (Application Programmers Interface) is an interface to the Power Focus system that enables users
to access data in PF from custom-made applications.
The Power Focus API is a software library that serves as the interface between the custom application and
the PF. This means that it exports a number of objects and methods that the custom application can access
in order to manipulate the PF without needing to know the details on how the actual communication is
done. The Power Focus API handles all necessary communication between the PC on which the custom
application is installed, and the specific PF involved. The developer of the custom application needs only
to know which objects and function(s) to access, and in some cases how the returned data is formatted.
3.8 RBU
RBU (Rapid Backup Unit) unlocks a specified level of functionality and acts as a back-
up unit for the configuration of PF. There are different types of RBU; gold, silver,
bronze, X (for ETX tool functionality and DS (for Tensor DS tool functionality). The
RBU gold unlocks the full capacity and functionality of the Power Focus. Combine the
RBU giving the required functionality with the chosen hardware.
When a RBU is plugged in to an empty PF, the RBU configuration is transferred to the controller. This
allows the quick installation and replacement of controllers on the assembly line.

Introduction to Power Focus
3.9 Cell
A key word in the Power Focus concept is Cell. This means that one PF Graph can monitor and control up
to 19 PF Compact controllers (for a total of 20 units), which saves space and hardware cost. Each Cell can
be connected to the plant’s network via the built-in Ethernet port, and results from the units can be
monitored via the Atlas Copco ToolsNet server.
3.10 Job
By scanning the bar code on an object on the assembly line, Power Focus automatically selects the correct
parameters. This is one example of the
Job function. When all fastenings at one station have been
performed, the operator on the line is given an overall JOB OK (“Station OK”) signal. Several PF units
can be linked together via the network to create a Cell Job, issuing an OK signal when all units in one
Cell have completed their tightenings.
3.11 Sync
Up to 10 synchronised spindles can be setup within one Cell. This function is called Sync. A single start
signal starts all tools and a “Sync OK/NOK” is reported, as well as individual tool results. Step-by-step
configuration and setup makes it easy to modify and to re-use installed equipment.
3.12 Communication
Built-in communication provides efficient use of modern communication technologies with Atlas Copco
products. The Power Focus system can be built to suit the user’s needs, from a simple system offering
many functions, to a complete factory system. Using open standards like TCP/IP, it is possible to connect
and communicate with external systems and allows global communication.
Communicate with one PF at a time via the serial connection or with a complete network of PF units via
the built-in TCP/IP connection.
Power Focus communicates with a range of accessories via the internal I/O bus. PF units and accessories
20 (330) 9836 3123 01
Introduction to Power Focus
can be combined according to the customer’s requirements.
The Power Focus can be configured to communicate via the most common buses on the market; ProfiBus,
DeviceNet, InterBus, etc. Real time communication is done over a proprietary I/O bus for tool
synchronisation. Several outputs can be activated for communication with PLC’s and other external
equipment. Each PF has four relay contacts, four optic isolated inputs and a 24 V DC / 1 A internal power
supply for external control circuits. All inputs and outputs can be configured using the ToolsTalk PF
software. The number of digital inputs and outputs can be increased using an I/O Expander on the I/O
bus.
With Power Focus, full networking capability is available in the controller as an integrated function, in
relation to both hardware and software. ToolsNet is Windows NT compatible, which offers easy to use,
effective database and data collection functions, using standard databases like SQL, Oracle and Microsoft
Access. PF can be connected to a network for central programming and data collection using ToolsNet.
With the modular concept, the Power Focus is the building block used to create complete and cost
efficient solutions that satisfy the various needs of modern industrial assembly operations.
3.13 Accessories
The Power Focus concept features a number of accessories that simplify the guidance and follow-up of
performed tightenings. The accessory functions can be set up using ToolsTalk PF or a PF Graph unit.
The benefit of using serial bus-based accessories (
I/O bus) is that they can be connected in series, from
accessory to accessory rather than hard wiring each accessory to the Power Focus. This arrangement increases
flexibility and affords quick installation.
Power Focus uses 24 V DC, 1 A to power the bus, which is also used to power external I/Os. If more current
is needed, the bus must be powered externally. Every device has a 24 V DC input for this purpose.
The
I/O Expander enables the connection of several inputs and relays when more
than those built-in are required. There are 8 inputs and 8 relays with the same
functionality as the four built-in I/Os. Each input and relay can be configured
individually.
The
Socket Selector is a socket tray with LED’s that can be used to guide the user
through a Job sequence. When using more than one Pset it is very convenient to
use a selector. When a socket is lifted, the corresponding Pset will be selected.
There are two different types of Socket Selectors, selector 4 and selector 8, the
only difference being that selector 4 has four sockets and selector 8 has eight
sockets. The Socket Selector is also communicating on the I/O bus.
The
RE-Alarm gives status information to users using lights and/or audible signals.
The RE-Alarm is connected to the Power Focus on the I/O bus. The RE- alarm is
configured in the Power Focus and it is possible to configure the information.

The Operator Panel is an external device for the PF. It is a general purpose lamp- and
switchbox, replacing the customer specials that are made today. The Operator Panel
communicates directly with Power Focus and the device configuration is made in ToolsTalk
PF.
See the
Operator Panel user guide (9836 2456 01) for more information.
The StackLight is a flexible light and switch device for Power Focus, PulsorFocus,
PowerMacs and Tensor DS/DL Advanced tightening controllers.
See the
StackLight user guide (9836 2642 01) for more information.

Introduction to Power Focus
3.14 Nutrunners
Atlas Copco’s Tensor STB heralds a new generation of transducerised nutrunners in the Tensor family.
STB tools communicate with the
PF 4000 and PF 3100 tightening controller systems through wireless
digital communication, built on IRC (Industrial Radio Communication) technique.
Tensor ST nutrunners communicate with PF 3100 controllers through digital communication, allowing
new tool features and greater flexibility due to not so many wires and leads. Compared with a Tensor S
tool, it is also lighter with improved accessibility.
Atlas Copco’s
Tensor SL is a range of low torque transducerised tools based on Tensor ST technology. SL
tools communicate with the SL driver,
PF 3102, digitally. The controller is used with low voltage SL
tools.
Atlas Copco’s
Tensor S, running on PF 3000/3100 controllers, are available in four different
configurations; fixture, pistol grip, straight and angle application. The three motor types are designated
S4, S7 and S9, indicating different motor outputs and speeds. The tools can be combined in various
models to meet a variety of requirements within the industry. Fixtured applications can easily be installed
and integrated with standard Atlas Copco components.
The ultra-compact
ETX tool is designed for fixtured applications, optimised for extreme functionality,
durability and flexibility. Controlled by
PF 3100 and featuring a “smart” memory chip calibration and
service data. The ETX combines the same advanced control, monitoring options and high productivity as
the Tensor S/ST range, with the bonus of a reduced space requirement and extended spindle durability.
Atlas Copco’s
Tensor DS tools, running on PF 3000/3100 controllers, have no transducer. Instead of
receiving an electrical signal from a strain gauge, the tool derives the torque from several relevant
parameters, such as voltage, speed, temperature and current. The DS tool is proven to achieve excellent
repeatability. However, the operating range is smaller than for a Tensor S tool, and the user might need to
adjust the torque measurement for each Pset and joint for greater accuracy.
An
Open end tool (or tube nut tool) is a Tensor S or ST tool equipped with an Open ended head. It is used
to tighten nuts on tubes and similar applications.
For more tool related information, see chapter
Tensor tools.
3.15 ACTA 3000
An ACTA 3000 performs a full range of functions, from simple torque checks
to advanced graphic tightening analysis. It comes in different models and it is
easy to upgrade.
ACTA 3000 measures torque, angle and pulses and facilitates the conduction
of statistical analyses of the tightening process. An ACTA 3000, together
with the ToolsTalk ACTA PC utility, is a complete SPC tool. Furthermore, it
has a reminder function to notify the user when calibration and maintenance
are due.

Pset
5 Pset
The set of parameters that controls the tightening process is contained within a so-called Pset.
This section describes how to setup the basic Pset parameters necessary to perform a
tightening. Create a Pset by using Autoset, quick programming or by setting the parameter
values manually using the PF Graph or ToolsTalk PF.
This section includes screenshots from ToolsTalk PF. The screenshots shows examples of
parameter settings and is NOT intended to be generally applicable. Check with your
local Atlas Copco reprehensive how to set up your specific system environment.
See chapter
Parameter list for a description of all available Pset options.
The basic Pset parameters are:
Control
Torque
Angle
Speed and ramp
Time
Batch count
Statistical
An easy way to program a Pset is to use the
Autoset function, see section Autoset. Enter a final target
torque value, perform a few tightenings and a new Pset is programmed. Power Focus adapts the
programming to the specific joint characteristics and sets all the parameters automatically. Autoset does
not change any parameters outside the used Pset.
Quick programming, see section Quick programming is, intended to help users to quickly configure a Pset
and gives the opportunity to use the Power Focus after a fast and simple programming. After completing
a quick programming procedure, the tool is ready to use for tightening to the set torque straight away. It
might be necessary to fine-tune some parameters in order to ensure smooth operation of the tool.

5.2.1 Control strategies
For all Tq con and DS con tightenings the process starts when the torque reaches Cycle start [P110] and ends
when the torque drops below
Cycle complete [P115] for a period of End time [P141] milliseconds.
For
Ang con and Reverse ang the tightening process also starts when the torque reaches Cycle start [P110].
For
Rotate spindle forward/reverse the tightening process starts immediately when the tool starts running.
For all these tightening strategies the tightening process ends when
End time [P141] milliseconds have
elapsed since
Target angle [P123] has been reached.
The
Target angle [P123] is defined by Measure angle to [P121] and can be measured from Start final angle
[P120] to Torque peak, Angle peak or Cycle complete [P115].
Final angle max [P124] is always evaluated from Start final angle [P120] to angle peak.
Tq con
The Tq con strategy controls the torque. This strategy is selectable for both one stage and two stage
tightenings. The tool stops when the torque reaches the
Final target [P113].
If, for some reason, the tool should exceed
Final tq max [P114], the tool shuts off and the (NOK) tightening
result is shown.
Tq con/ang mon
The Tq con/ang mon strategy controls the torque and monitors the angle. This strategy is selectable for
both one and two stage tightenings. The tool stops when the torque reaches the
Final target [P113] value.
If the tool for some reason should exceed
Final tq max [P114] or Final angle max [P124], the tool shuts off and
the (NOK) tightening result is shown.
Ang con/tq mon
Ang con/tq on strategy controls the angle and monitors the torque. This strategy is selectable for both one
and two stage tightenings.
Target angle [P123] is then defined as the number of degrees between Start final
angle [P120]
and angle peak. The tool stops at Target angle [P123].
If the tool for some reason should exceed
Final tq max [P114] or Final angle max [P124], the tool shuts off and
the (NOK) tightening results are shown.
44 (330) 9836 3123 01
Pset
Tq con/ang con (AND) / (OR)
The Tq con/ang con (AND)/ (OR) strategy controls both torque and angle. This strategy is selectable for both
one and two stage tightenings.
For
Tq con/ang con (AND), Power Focus controls the Final target [P113] value and the Target angle [P123]
value. The tool stops when both targets are reached. They do not have to be reached at the same time.
For
Tq con/ang con (OR), Power Focus controls the Final target [P113] value and the Target angle [P123]
value. The tool stops when the first of these two targets are reached.
For both
Tq con/ang con (AND) and Tq con/ang con (OR) the torque and the angle result must be within
respective min and max limit.
If, for some reason, the tool should exceed
Final tq max [P114] or Final angle max [P124], the tool shuts off
and the (NOK) tightening results are shown.
Reverse ang
The Reverse ang strategy reverses the spindle a specified number of degrees in the opposite tool tightening
direction. This is useful when, for example, the bolt needs to be loosened before the final tightening.
Create a Multistage to combine and perform several Psets as one.
Target angle [P123] is defined as the number of degrees between the Start final angle [P120] and the peak
angle. The tool stops at
Target angle [P123]. If the tool for some reason should exceed Final tq max [P114] or
Final angle max [P124], the tool shuts off and the (NOK) tightening results are shown. The torque value
shown in the result is torque at peak angle. Angle measurement starts when the
Start final angle [P120] is
reached.
For reverse ang, the “active” direction of the tool socket rotation is the opposite of the
Tool
tightening direction [P240]. For instance, to select “CW” turn the Direction ring to the left
position. For safety reasons, it is not possible to loosen the joint in this way.
Rotate spindle forward/reverse
The rotate spindle forward/reverse functions rotate the spindle a specified number of degrees, either
forward or reverse, independently of torque. The only torque values monitored are
Final tq max [P114] and
Final tq min [P112]. Target angle [P123] is defined as the number of degrees between start of tightening and
the peak angle. The tool stops at
Target angle [P123].
If, for some reason, the tool should exceed
Final tq max [P114] or Final angle max [P124], the tool shuts off
and the (NOK) tightening results are shown.
The tightening process begins when the trigger is pressed.
For rotate spindle reverse, the “active” direction of the tool socket rotation is the opposite of
the
Tool tightening direction [P240]. For instance, if “CW” is selected turn the direction ring to
the left position. For safety reasons, it is not possible to loosen the joint with this strategy.
Click wrench
Select the Click wrench function if the Power Focus indicates a click wrench or to incorporate other non-
tightening operations into the work process such as ocular inspections or the filling of fluid containers etc.
It is possible to configure four independent click wrench operations. A click wrench Pset consists of a
Click
wrench no. [P107]
, Final target [P113] and a Tool idle time [P143] only. Each Click wrench no. [P107] will be
associated with one digital input (see chapter
Digital inputs and outputs). Asserting the specified digital input
indicates to the PF that the specified click wrench operation has been performed. Use
Final target [P113] to
9836 3123 01 45 (330)
Pset
set the torque result level for click wrench tools. Use Tool idle time [P143] to avoid unintentional digital
input assertion repetitions.
Resulting torque is the final target set by the Pset.
Home position
The home position function makes it possible to mark a spindle position using the “set home position”
digital input. The spindle will then rotate to that position when this function is run. The only torque values
monitored are
Final tq max [P114] and Final tq min [P112].
If, for some reason, the tool should exceed
Final tq max [P114] or Final angle max [P124], the tool shuts off
and the (NOK) tightening results are shown.
The tightening process begins when the trigger is pressed.
Yield control (Yield)
Yield control is activated by selecting the Control strategy [P100] to “Yield”. For Yield to work, the Tightening
strategy [P101]
can be set to “One stage”, “Two stage” or “Quickstep”. Yield control will always interact in
the last stage of the tightening.
Zoom step [P105] strategy ending is eliminated when yield control is selected. An additional tightening
angle can be added after the yield point is reached by setting an angle to the
Angle step [P264] parameter.
The spindle runs in the chosen direction until the yield point is detected. Search for the yield point starts
when the torque has reached the threshold
Torque, TC. The average torque over the angle of No. degrees
(NOS)
is calculated [1].

DS con
The DS con function controls the torque based on the current measurement and monitors the angle. This
function is selectable for both one and two stage tightenings. The tool stops when the torque reaches the
Final target [P111] value.
If the tool for some reason should exceed
Final angle max [P124], the tool shuts off and the (NOK)
tightening result is shown.
DS con/tq mon
The DS con/tq mon function controls the torque based on the current measurement and monitors the
transducer based torque. It also monitors the angle. This strategy is selectable for both one and two stage
tightenings. The tool stops when the current based torque reaches the
Final target [P111] value.
If the tool for some reason should exceed
Final tq max [P114] and Final angle max [P124], the tool shuts off
and the (NOK) tightening result is shown.
5.2.2 Tightening strategies
The Power Focus supports a number of different tightening strategies in order to achieve the best quality,
speed and ergonomic behaviour. Both standard and proprietary patented strategies are supported. This
section provides a generic description of the tightening strategies available.
9836 3123 01 47 (330)
Pset
One stage
Tightening is performed in
One stage until the Final target [P113] torque has been reached. The tool
accelerates quickly to final speed.
48 (330) 9836 3123 01
Pset
Two stage
In a
Two stage tightening, the tool operates at high speed during the first stage and a lower speed during
the second stage. The tool stops for about 50 milliseconds between the stages to reduce joint relaxation
and then accelerates for the second stage.
In this example the strategy ends with a Zoom step [P105], which reduces the risk of overshooting.
9836 3123 01 49 (330)
Pset
Quick step
Quick step is a type of two stages tightening with high tool speed during the first stage and a lower tool
speed during the second stage. The speed changes from first to second stage speed without pausing in
between.
In this example the strategy ends with a
Zoom step [P105], which reduces the risk of overshooting.
50 (330) 9836 3123 01
Pset
Ergo ramp
Ergo ramp is a two stage tightening with a constant increase of torque during the second stage. It is set
automatically using the programmed ergo ramp value and the hardness of the joint. This strategy has the
ergonomic advantage of giving the user the same feeling for both soft and hard joints when using the same
Pset. In this example the strategy ends with a
Zoom step [P105], which reduces the risk of overshooting.
9836 3123 01 51 (330)
Pset
52 (330) 9836 3123 01
5.2.3 Control options
Rundown angle
The Rundown angle option monitors the angle at Rundown complete [P116].
If the
Rundown angle [P104] option From start is selected the rundown phase will start when the tool trigger
is pressed. If
Rundown angle [P104] option From cycle start is selected the rundown phase will start when
the torque exceeds
Cycle start [P110]. The acceptance window for the rundown angle is set with the
Rundown angle min [P125] and Rundown angle max [P126].
Zoom step
The Zoom step option reduces tool speed when the torque approaches Final target [P113]. Tool speed is
reduced gradually towards the
Zoom step speed [P138], which can be set between 2 and 20 percent of the
maximum speed. Zoom step produces very accurate results, low scatter and quick tightenings.
Combined Zoom step and Ergo ramp
By combining zoom step and ergo ramp, the advantages of both strategies will be achieved. Tightenings
are precise and, at the same time, ergonomically correct for the operator.
Zoom step and ergo ramp strategies can be combined for most types of bolted joints.
5.2.4 Rehit detection
The re-hit functionality is designed to detect re-tightenings of an already tightened joint, thereby avoiding
batch counting errors etc. Two parameters have been found to be good indicators of a so-called re-hit, tool
speed and tightening angle. If, for two stage torque control tightenings, the tool does not get up to speed
before the first target occurs and the angle of the second stage is not great enough the re-hit alarm is
activated.
For two stage torque control tightenings, the speed must reach higher then ¼ out of
Step 1 speed [P131]
between
Cycle start [P110] and First target [P111] or the angle between First target [P111] and Final target [P113]
must be greater then 120 degrees to avoid a re-hit alarm. For one stage tightenings, the speed at Cycle start
[P110]
and the angle between Cycle start [P110] and Final target [P113] are used as indicators.
The large angle interval required means that for most normal tightenings it is the speed condition that is
met. Only for very soft joints with a low
First target [P111] or one stage tightenings is the angle condition
met.
For two stage angle control tightenings, the re-hit alarm is activated if the tightening is aborted on
Final tq
max [P114]
and the tool speed has not reached ¼ of the Step 1 speed [P131] between Cycle start [P110] and First
target [P111]
. For one stage tightenings, the speed at Cycle start [P110] is used as indicator.
The re-hit functionality is not valid for the Rotate spindle forward/reverse and Reverse angle strategies.
Pset
5.2.5 Autoset
An easy way to program a Pset is to use the Autoset function. Power
Focus adapts the programming to the specific joint characteristics and
sets all the parameters automatically. Autoset does not change any
parameters outside the used Pset.
Autoset can only be selected when a tool is connected and
the PF is switched on.
Control strategy [P100] “Tq con/ang mon” should be set to
Autoset when Tensor S and ST tools are used. With DS
tools strategy “DS con” should be used.
If using an existing Pset, the parameters of which will be
erased and replaced by the Autoset calculated parameters.
Click
Autoset in the Pset window.
A green light on the front panel of the PF indicates that Autoset is
activated. When this signal is shut off, Autoset is finished and the PF
is now programmed for that joint. The Autoset procedure can be
aborted by clicking cancel before the green light shuts off.
By performing Autoset,
the existing Pset
configuration will be
change.
Enter the
Final target [P113] value
and click
OK.
Perform a number of tightenings
with the tool.
The first two tightenings will be
completed at very low speed.
Normally, three to ten tightenings
are required in order for the Power
Focus to calculate and set the
required parameters for the specific
joint characteristics.
Click OK when prompted.
By clicking
Abort before the Autoset procedure is completed will cancel the operation and restore the
previous settings.

Pset
5.2.6 Quick programming
Quick programming intended to help users to quickly configure a Pset and gives the opportunity to use
the Power Focus after a fast and simple programming.
The joint angle is the distance from when the screw (nut) head touches the surface and the torque starts
to build up, until it reaches the set limit. It is possible to measure the joint angle by using a torque
wrench.
For “hard” joints, it is best to set the value at 30 degrees. For “soft” joints we recommend setting the
joint angle above 100 degrees. This gives a better tightening during the first stage and a distinct second
stage. Adjust the angle if the second stage is too long. It is important that there is a second stage;
otherwise the tool may jerk at full torque (overshoot).
If using an existing Pset, the parameters of which will be erased and replaced by the Quick
programming calculated parameters.
For quick programming, the final target value must be larger or equal to 25 percent of
Tool max torque [T102].
Open an existing Pset or create a new one.
Click
Quick programming in the Pset window.
Select
Control strategy [P100] and enter the joint angle and Final target [P113].

Current monitoring and make suitable parameter settings.
The spindle torque is proportional to the motor current. By measuring
motor current a method of measurement that is independent of the
torque transducer is achieved. The torque forming current is expressed
as percentage of the nominal current at
Tool max torque [T102]. With
Current monitoring [P200] selected it is possible to set an acceptance
window for the torque as a redundant process control.

Pset
In the Pset
Programming + branch,
select
PVT selftap.
Make suitable parameter settings.
When the joint has a torque peak at
the start of the tightening it is
recommended to use the PVT
selftap monitoring option,
Selftap
[P210], to ensure that the tightening
achieves the right characteristics.
PVT selftap also makes it possible to perform tightenings where the start torque is higher than the
Final
target [P113] or Final tq max [P114].
The selftap interval starts at
Cycle start [P110]. During the Selftap interval [P211] the torque has to reach at
least the
Selftap min [P213] level but must stay below the Selftap max [P214] limit. The Selftap max [P214] is
monitored in real time during the self tap interval. The
Selftap min [213] value is evaluated against the
selftap interval peak value at the end of the interval.
To reduce the effects of noise, the PVT selftap monitors mean values calculated from a number of
windows. A fewer number of windows means that more samples will be grouped together, hence one
odd sample will have less impact on the calculated mean value and vice versa. A higher
Number of self tap
windows [P212] will make the monitoring more sensitive whereas a lower number will filter more noise.

When the joint torque has to pass
through an acceptance window prior

See the graph in the section for PTV selftap.
With
PVT monitoring [P220] selected it is possible to set an acceptance window for the torque before
Rundown complete [P116]. The PVT max limit [P225] is monitored in real time during the monitor interval
and if exceeded, the tool will stop immediately. The
PVT min limit [P224] value is evaluated against the
monitor interval peak value at the end of the interval.
To reduce the effect of noise, the PVT selftap monitors mean values are calculated from a number of
windows. A higher
Number of self tap windows [P212] will make the monitoring more sensitive whereas a
lower number will filter more noise.
In the Pset

Pset
See the graph in the section for PTV selftap.
Via this function the PF allows the torque levels to be independent of the prevailing torque, (known as
PVT compensate) during the rundown phase. This makes the torque levels change dynamically for each
new tightening. In this way, the PVT compensate value is used as a base reference for the torque used
during tightening.
The different torque values, e.g.
First target [P111] and Final target [P113], are compensated for the
prevailing torque during the rundown phase. The PVT compensation value is calculated at

complete [P116]
as an average torque from an interval preceding the PVT comp point [P231]. The tightening
result is presented with the compensation torque subtracted.
Final tq max [P114] is also compensated with the PVT compensate value.
In the Pset
Programming + branch,
select
Options.
Make suitable parameter settings.
There are different variables that
control the tool rotation direction:
tool direction ring,
Tool tightening
direction [P240]
and Tightening strategy
[P101]
.
Tightening a screw or nut is in accordance with the selected
Control strategy [P100]. Loosening is equal to
reversing the screw or nut. Loosening speed and ramp can be programmed. Reverse is a control strategy
that loosens the screw or nut a programmed number of degrees. The direction is always the opposite of
the tightening direction.
The position of the tool direction ring at the time the tool trigger is pressed will decide the direction of
rotation. If the ring is in the right position the tool will rotate clockwise (CW), and counter clockwise
(CCW) if the ring is in the left position. However, the direction will not change if the direction ring is
moved while the tool is running.
With the parameter
Tool tightening direction [P240] the default tightening direction of the tool is selected.
This means that the tool will tighten the joint clockwise (right-hand threaded joints) if “CW” is selected
and the direction ring is in the right position. Select “CCW” for counter clockwise tightenings.
The direction ring adjusts the rotation direction of the tool socket, while parameter
Tool
tightening direction [P240]
decides whether it is a right- or left handed threaded joint.
If different tightening directions are used on the same tool, there is a risk that the operator
will use the wrong direction for a specific screw. This could lead to unexpected reaction
forces in the tool that could be dangerous for the operator.
58 (330) 9836 3123 01
Pset
With regard to reverse ang or rotate spindle reverse, the “active” direction is the opposite from the Tool
tightening direction [P240]. For instance, if “CW” is to be selected turn the direction ring to the left
position. For safety reasons, it is not possible to loosen the joint with these strategies.
The remote start input is connected in parallel with the tool trigger and has the same functionality. If
remote start input is used the tool trigger is disabled.
If a digital input is used as start signal input, the direction ring and trigger on the tool are bypassed. If
tool start from digital input is selected and activated, the tool will start tightening in the direction
programmed in the parameter
Tightening direction [P240].
The Field bus tool start input works in the same way as the tool start from digital input. The 4-pin
connector must be wired correctly.
The 4-pin connector on Power Focus back panel must be wired correctly.
Do not use tool start from digital input via an I/O Expander on a synchronised tool group.
Use only the four internal digital inputs.
In the Pset

Control strategy [P100] to Yield. The
Tightening strategy [P101] can be set to
One stage, Two stage or Quickstep.
Yield control will always interact in
the last stage of the tightening.
Zoom step [P105] strategy ending is eliminated when yield control is selected. An additional tightening
angle can be added after the yield point is reached by setting an angle to the
Angle step [P264] parameter.

Multistage
6 Multistage
The Multistage feature offers a dynamic link to eight parameters in several steps for
performing a sequence of operations.
A typical application scenario such as joint conditioning, where the fastener is run to a torque level of 10
Nm then backed off by 180 degrees and then fastened to a final torque level of 14 Nm. This operation
would be regarded as a three step Multistage. This is performed by the operator when in a hand held
configuration by depressing the trigger in the normal way until the end of the operation, or alternatively
when used in a fixed operation where the start signal is either latched or externally triggered.
The Multistage tightening results and statistics are a combination of all the results from the different Psets
within the Multistage. The default setting is all results from the last Pset in the Multistage.
Individual Pset min and max limits function in all stages and the tool will shut off when a max limit is
exceeded (or for any reason if the min limit is not reached) as per normal operation. The result displayed
will then be taken from the stage where the shut off occurred.

Job
7 Job
The Job function is advantageous when an object has bolts/screws that require different
torque and angle values for tightening. A Job is useful when an object needs different
Psets and Multistages. Instead of manually selecting each Pset/Multistage, the Job
functionality keeps Psets and Multistages in a predefined order.
This section includes screenshots from ToolsTalk PF. The screenshots shows examples
of parameter settings and is NOT intended to be generally applicable. Check with your
local Atlas Copco reprehensive how to set up your specific system environment.
See chapter
Parameter list for a description of all available Job options.
Power Focus allows 30 Psets/Multistages in a Job, and
the storage of 99 Jobs (with the memory setup (see
chapter
Controller) it is possible to store up to 400 Jobs).
The Psets/Multistage included in a Job can be selected
from a stand alone PF (RBU silver) or from several PF
units in a Cell (RBU gold). The figure to the right
shows an example of an object with bolts that require
different torque values:
Four bolts that require a torque of: 39 Nm
Three bolts that require a torque of: 70 Nm
One bolt that requires a torque of: 88 Nm
For this example three different Psets have to be
created:
Pset1: final target 39 Nm
Pset2: final target 70 Nm
Pset3: final target 88 Nm
By combining the Psets in the above example the following Job list is created (se table below).
PF Pset Pset name Batch size
1 1 Pset1 4
1 2 Pset2 3
1 3 Pset3 1
The Job in this example is performed by one single PF. “Batch size” means the number of times the
tightening should be repeated. A “JOB OK” signal is received from the Power Focus when all
tightenings have been performed correctly.
9836 3123 01 65 (330)
Job
The Job function in Power Focus can be defined by two categories. Standalone Job is when just one
PF is involved in the Job.
The standalone Job function is available with RBU gold, silver, X and DS.
Cell Job
is a Job in which several PF units are involved.
All PF units that perform a Cell Job must belong to the same
Job group. A Job group consists of a
maximum of 20 controllers within the same Cell (see chapter
Controller for more information).
A single PF can only belong to one Job group, but it is possible to create several Job groups in the
same Cell.
In a Job group, all included controllers are Job members. One of the Job members acts as a Job
reference, the others act as Job clients (see figure on next page). The Job reference retains a list of all
Psets and Multistages available for all Job members. The Job reference is the main controller and
remotes the Job clients.
The Cell Job function is only available with the RBU Gold.

7.1 Create a Job group
The PF units in a Job group must be working in the same Cell. Therefore, when creating Job groups a
Cell has to be configured (see chapter
Controller for more information).
Once the Cell is configured the next step is to create a Job group including Job reference and Job client.
In the PF Map, select
Controller -> Network.
To define a

Job
7.3 Select Job
In a Job selection the Job ID is used. After a Job has been selected it is not possible to select a new
Job until the first tightening is started or a batch increment is performed. At that point the only way to
select a new Job is either to complete the running Job or to abort the running Job.
Sources that Jobs can be selected and aborted from are “DigIn” (digital input), “Ethernet/serial”,
“identifier”, “Field bus” and the “PF keyboard”.
Power Focus allows two different possibilities for Job selection;
Job select source [C201] and Job select
source override [C202]. To be able to select a Job at least one of the two parameters has to be set.
Job select source override [C202] has a higher priority than Job select source [C201]. If a Job is selected
from
Job select source override [C202], it will always terminate a present Job and be selected instead.
If a Job is chosen from
Job select source [C201] then it is possible to select a new Job from the same
source or from
Job select source override [C202]. But if a Job is chosen from Job select source override
[C202]
then it is only possible to select a new Job from the same source.
The system will remember the most recently selected source until the Job is either
completed or aborted.
If a new Job is selected via
Job select source override [C202], then a running Job will be
aborted and the new one will be started instead. To be able to select/abort a Job from the
PF Graph display,
Job select source [C201] or Job select source override [C202] must be set
to “PF keyboard”.
A Cell Job can only be selected or aborted from the Job reference.
If selecting an empty Job, without any Pset/Multistage included, Power Focus will send a
Job OK signal.
To be able to select a Cell Job the Job reference needs to communicate with the Job
clients that form the selected Job. Otherwise the Job reference will not start the Job. All
the Job clients detect communication failure with the Job reference and vice verse. If the
Job reference loses communication with a Job client it will try to re-establish the
communication.
Two cases when the Job reference loses the communication with a Job client during a running Job:
If the disconnected Job client has tightenings left to perform, the Job reference will abort the
running Job immediately.
If the disconnected Job client did not have any tightenings left to perform, or had no part in the
running Job, the Job will continue.
If a Job client loses communication with its Job reference, the Job client immediately stops running
the Job and locks the tool.

7.3.1 Functions in the Job monitor
Function Description
Restart Job This function allows the user to restart the running Job without needing to reselect the Job. All batch
counters in the running Job are reset and the Job timer restarts.
Decrement Batch decrement makes it possible to redo the last tightening/increment in a Job. The batch counter of
the Pset or Multistage is decreased by one step. It is not possible to go back one step after the Job has
been completed.
The Job batch decrement function is accessible only from the Job reference controller.
Increment Batch increment makes it possible to skip the batch counter value of a Pset/Multistage without
performing a tightening. It is possible to complete a Job by using the batch increment function.
After performing batch increment in a Job, the Job status will be NOK (not OK) when
Batch status at
increment/bypass [J311]
is selected. Otherwise, the Job status will be OK.
In a Job with free order, only the Job client with the active Pset/Multistage is able to utilise batch
increment.
In Jobs with forced order, the Job client with the active Pset/Multistage and the Job reference are able to
utilise batch increment.
Bypass Bypass skips a specific Pset/Multistage in a running Job, independently of batch size.
The batch counter will be set equal to the batch size value and the Pset will be considered as completed
when a Pset/Multistage is bypassed. The Job status will be OK/NOK depending on the parameter
Batch
status at Increment/bypass [J311]
.
In a Job with free order, only the Job client with the active Pset/Multistage is able to use the bypass
function.
In a Job with forced order, the Job client with the active Pset/Multistage and the Job reference are able
to use bypass the function.
Abort Job Abort Job is only accessible via the Job reference controller. Abort can be an external signal as well as
an internal order (see
Max time to start Job [J320] and Max time to complete Job [J321]).
When a Job abort request is received the Job functionality will wait for completion of the ongoing
tightening result before aborting the Job.
Job off This function offers the possibility to turn off the Job function and unlock all involved tools.
Running Job: Selecting Job off for a running Job is equal to aborting Job, thus the tool/tools will always
be enabled. The Job reference will order all Job members to select the latest Pset from the digital input,
Field bus or selector (in case one of these is Pset select source [C200]) otherwise the latest selected Pset
in the Power Focus will remain.
No running Job: The Job reference will unlock the tools of all Job members. The Job reference will also
order Job members to select the latest Pset, which was selected from the digital input, Field bus or
selector (in case one of these is the
Pset select source [C200]). Otherwise the latest selected Pset in the
Power Focus will remain.
When a PF is in Job off mode it is possible to perform tightening with any existing Pset or Multistage.
As long as the Job reference is in Job off mode the user cannot select a new Job, the Job off mode must
first be inverted.
The only occasion when the Job off function affects the Job clients is when they have lost
communication with their Job reference. In this case there is the possibility to unlock the Job clients
locally by using the Job off function.
Only the Job reference will remember the Job mode after a
reboot.
Job status
(information)
Job OK: Received if all Psets/Multistages included in the Job have been correctly performed,
alternatively if batch increment/bypass has been used (presupposed that batch increment/bypass is
configured as an OK event).
Job NOK: Received if any Pset/Multistage included in the Job has not been correctly performed.
Alternatively it is considered as NOK (Not OK) if batch increment/bypass has been used (presupposed
that Batch Increment/Bypass is configured as an NOK event).
Job aborted: Received if a Job is considered aborted.

8.3.1 Cell and Net
The Power Focus software offers extended networking facilities. The Cell and Net concept is part of the
RBU gold and silver types.
EtherNet TCP/IP networking makes it simple to program and overview all PF units in the network from
a PC with ToolsTalk PF software installed. All data traffic from Power Focus could also be collected
and compiled by ToolsNet.
Via the Cell concept it is possible to arrange all PF units at an assembly station in a
Cell. The Net
concept enables functionality to group all Cells on the assembly line in one
Net.
The figure below illustrates a Cell consisting of three PF Compact controllers, one PF Graph controller
and a switch.
A Cell consists of one
Cell reference, a maximum of 19 Cell members and a total of 20 PF units. Cells
can then be grouped into
Nets; the maximum number of Cells in a Net is 1000. Each Net has a Net
reference
. One PF can function both as Cell reference and Net reference.
Every Cell has a Cell identification number (Cell ID) unique to the network. Within a Cell every PF has
its own unique channel identification number (Channel ID). With the PF Graph the user can browse
through the different channels and program and view the result from any other controller in the same
Cell.
The Cell reference and Cell members can be configured through a PF Graph user interface or ToolsTalk
PF.
All PF units in a Cell must have the same software version installed.
When configuring a remote PF, make sure it is not in use by anyone else. Otherwise it
might lead to the damaging of the tool or a joint. It might also lead to personal injury.
The RBU gold also enables Sync functionality (see chapter
Sync) and to run Cell Jobs (see chapter Job).
The figure below illustrates an example of a factory network configuration, a Net with three Cells. Each
Cell has a Cell reference and three Cell members. One Cell reference also functions as the Net
reference.

function “Store PF to file” to save the existing data configuration (including Psets,
Multistages, and Jobs). The data can later be retrieved via function “Read PF from file”.
When changing the memory setup the PF must be rebooted for changes to take effect. It is
necessary to “Read PF from file” two times and reboot the PF one extra time.
It is recommended to reboot immediately.
Configurable memory is only available for RBU gold and silver.

Number of identifiers is the maximum number of significant identifier strings available for identifier Type 1
(Identifier type 1 is used to trigger Psets, Multistages or Jobs).
Number of identifier result parts is the
amount of Identifier strings to be stored together with the tightening result. For more information, see
chapter
Identifier.
When increasing database elements, a decreasing of other elements might be necessary. For instance, if
6000 results are required it is not possible to have more than 100 Psets (option more results).

9.2 Tool configuration
In the PF Map Tool branch, double-click on Configuration.
Make settings for Tool start and Accessory
bus.
The main purpose for
Tool start select source
[T200]
option “Safety trigger” is to ensure
that both hands are placed on the tool while
it is running, and that the tool stops as soon
one hand is released. The safety trigger is
suitable for applications where a high level
of safety is desired.
The safety trigger function is only
available for ST tools
The safety trigger function requires the start trigger and safety trigger button to be pushed simultaneously
in order to start the tool. The second button must be pushed within 0.5 s from the first button, order is
arbitrary. If the safety trigger button or the start trigger is released while the tool is running, the tool will
stop immediately.
Once the tool has been started, the safety trigger function requires both buttons to be released before the
tool can be started again.
A safety trigger button is mounted on the ST tool and connected to GPIO 4. The parameter is only
accessible when GPIO 4 is set to “off”.
The main purpose of the
Timer enable tool [T201] function is to prevent unintentional starting of the tool. It
is immune to tape, i.e. it is not possible to override the function by putting tape on the “enable button”.
The timer enable tool is suitable for applications where a reasonable level of safety is required and
applications where both hands cannot remain on the tool during tightening (one hand must be used to
hold the working piece during tightening etc).
When the
Timer enable tool [T201] is activated, the tool will be disabled by default. In order to enable the
tool, the user must enable the tool using the digital input function “timer enable tool”.
Once enabled, the tool will remain enabled for the configured period of time (timer enable tool time). As
soon as the time period expires, the tool will be disabled again.
92 (330) 9836 3123 01
Tool
If the tool is started during the period it is enabled, it will remain enabled while it is being run. When the
tool is stopped, it will remain enabled for an additional period of time (according to release and
configuration). This behaviour is comparable to key lock functionality on cellular phones; once
unlocked, the keys will be locked when a given period of time has passed since the last key press.
The “timer enable tool” function was previously called “safety trigger”.
Digital input “timer enable tool” must be changed from status “low” to “high” in order to
enable the tool (the tool will not remain enabled when the time period has expired, even if
input to the digital input “timer enable tool” remains high ).
Parameter
Mode [T210] is for ST selector configuration. The selector has two different modes, mode 1 and
mode 2. In Mode 1 the selector only utilises the tool accessory bus as GPIO. This mode only supports a
maximum of 15 Psets (1-15). In Mode 2 the selector is a true ST accessory taking full advantage of the
bus capabilities.
Keep the left button on the selector pressed when powering up (this is done by hot swapping the tool or
powering up the PF). The selector will now enter the configuration mode.
Press the right button on the selector to toggle between mode 1 and 2. Confirm mode selection by
pressing the left button.
Mode 1 is primarily intended for use with the Power Focus world 3 software release and
later. Mode 2 is recommended for users with Power Focus world 5 software releases.
If “Mode 1” is selected the number of Psets (1-15) to use must now be set. Press
the right button to select the number of Psets to use. Use the left button to
confirm. The selector is now ready to use. When using mode 1 the
Mode [T210]
must be set to “GPIO” with the GPIO device configured according to the table to
the right. Parameter
Pset select source [C200] must also be set to “DigIn”.

Make settings for Sound.
Enable/disable sound and adjust the
Volume [T220] (low, medium or high).
Two types of sound files can be stored in the Power Focus memory, buzzer and sound (stream) waves. A
Buzzer wave is a frequency-based sound generated by the tool. The buzzer wave can be programmed by
the user (as default one wave is included in Power Focus). A
Sound (stream) wave is a pre-programmed
“wav file” that can be downloaded from disk (hard drive/ file). It is possible to use a microphone to
record wav files and download them to Power Focus.
ST tools support sound and buzzer functionality.
STB and SL tools support only buzzer functionality.

9836 3123 01 97 (330)
Tool
It is possible to configure a digital input function, similar to the digital inputs on the PF, for each user
interaction type and tool direction. Tool direction is shown by the direction ring on ST tools and by the
direction LED on SL and DL tools.
From the digital input functions point of view, single push and double push user interaction types do
generate pulses. This means that they do not have duration where input to the digital input function
remains high.
Single push and Double push user interaction types are therefore not suitable for digital
input functions that are intended to “follow” the status of the button. The
pressed user interaction type
does provide duration; input to the digital input function remains high as long as the function button is
pressed and becomes low when it is released. It can therefore be used with digital input functions
intended to follow the button status.
Feedback is provided to the user to indicate which user interaction type was detected. If a
Single push is
detected, the tool LED’s will flash once and if a
Double push is detected, the tool LED’s will flash twice.
Feedback is only given when there is a function configured for the currently performed user interaction
type and current direction. For example, if a
Double push is performed while operating in CCW mode,
but
CCW double push [T235] is set to “off”, no response will be given.
For SL and DL tools, the function button will normally be configured to change tool direction in some
way (“toggle CW/CCW”, “toggle CW/CCW for next run” and “set CCW”).

A tool calibration session is started by connecting
the ACTA 3000 to the Power Focus and fitting the
QRTT device to the spindle. One Multistage with
three Psets is used when the calibration is run, one
torque tightening (for torque calibration) and two
different spindle rotations (for loosening and angle
calibration) Psets.
Click
Create QRTT to create the Psets and
Multistages needed. The target torque and
angle is then set by the ACTA 3000 before
the start of each calibration.
The tool calibration is started by a command
from the ACTA 3000 or by pressing the tool
trigger depending on if the tool is configured
for remote start or not. The result of a
calibration is displayed as a normal
tightening. When a calibration batch is
completed, event code
ACTA/QRTT calibration
[E710]
is displayed and stored in the event log
of the Power Focus.
It is necessary for the Power Focus to have enough memory space available to store the Multistages and
Psets needed. If the calibration shows an unsatisfactory result the operator is assumed to take the
appropriate action. No calibration value (calibration- or normalisation value etc.) will be changed
automatically.

9.4.4 Tool lock functionality
The tool may be locked either by an internal state that does not allow the tool to be used, or intentionally
by configurable functions in the Power Focus and external sources.
Locking of tools from an external source in time critical applications
When the Power Focus is used in line assemblies the tightenings are often controlled carefully. The users
wish to ensure that all tightenings are performed on the correct joints. For that reason the users wish to
lock the tool frequently between the different tightenings on a work piece within a workstation. Often such
applications are also time critical, meaning that the operator has to perform a number of tightenings within
a short time span. In such cases there is a high risk of obtaining a poor tightening result when locking the
tool from an external source, such as via Field bus, the open protocol or the ToolsTalk PF protocol.
The reason for the problems is that by using the mentioned sources for tool locking; the tool is not actually
locked until several hundred milliseconds after the triggering event (such triggering events are e.g.
controlled by tool positioning systems etc.). Commonly used commands are ”Tool disable” and “tool
enable” functions in the table in section Error! Reference source not found.. Within a time frame of 100-
200 ms the operator may push the tool trigger many times, which destroys the purpose of carefully
controlled tightenings.
Therefore, the usage of the listed external sources for locking the tool frequently in time critical
applications is not recommended. In order to lock the tool quickly enough in these cases only Power Focus
internal sources should be applied (i.e. 1-2 ms reaction time).
In a lot of applications suffering from these problems the following general strategy could be used:
For enabling the tool, use the external source for selecting the Pset in Power Focus when the conditions
for “start tightening” are fulfilled.
For disabling the tool, use functions
Lock at batch ok [P152] or Lock at Job done [J302], which are internal
tool locking sources within Power Focus.
Intentional locking of tools
By locking and unlocking the tool in certain situations, it is possible to prevent unintended usage of it. In
this way it is possible to avoid some of the mistakes that could normally be made during assembly.
Definition of a locked tool
When the tool is locked, one or several services are disabled. Services are normally tightening and
loosening, but do in some cases (see below) include positioning, motor tuning, Open end tuning and
tracking.
Event codes
In case the tool is locked while a user attempts to start a service (normally tightening or loosening), the
Power Focus will show an event code to explain why or by which functionality the tool is locked. In case
the tool becomes locked while a service is being performed, the service will be aborted and an event code
explaining why or by which function the tool was locked will be displayed.

Sync
11 Sync
With the Power Focus RBU gold it is possible to synchronise groups of spindles and tools
performing the same task simultaneously. This function is called
Sync. Examples where Sync
is used are the tightening of car wheel bolts and the tightening of cylinder head bolts.
This section includes screenshots from ToolsTalk PF. The screenshots shows examples of
parameter settings and is NOT intended to be generally applicable. Check with your
local Atlas Copco reprehensive how to set up your specific system environment.
See chapter
Parameter list for a description of all available Sync options.
A
Sync group (see figure to the right) consists
of two to ten PF units, working in the same
Cell (a Cell can consist of more than one
Sync group). One of the controllers is defined
as
Sync reference. The other controllers are
Sync members. The Sync reference remotes
the Sync members (i.e. the Sync reference
decides and controls which Psets/Multistages
to run).
A requirement for using the Sync function is
to first create a Cell, see chapter
Controller.
For a description of how to do Sync motor
tuning, see chapter
Tool.
Sync is performed in steps where all synchronised spindles wait for each other at a number of
“checkpoints” before they continue with the next step. A normal two stage tightening has checkpoints at
First target [P111] and Final target [P113].
Time critical synchronisation communication is performed over the Power Focus internal I/O bus,
which means that all controllers have to be connected via the I/O bus. Ethernet communication is used
for non-time critical communication such as start-up time, creating/updating Psets and Multistages and
transferring result data between the Sync reference and the Sync members. The Sync function can also
perform Multistage tightenings to create a synchronised tightening sequence consisting of several steps.
A Sync group can be part of a Job (see chapter
Job).
It is the Job reference, and not the Sync reference, that counts the batch in a Job with
Sync.
9836 3123 01 119 (330)
Sync
11.1 Hardware configuration
Connect all Sync members and the Sync reference via the I/O bus. The I/O bus connectors are located on
the back panel of the PF.
In the figure below is four PF units connected via the I/O bus. It is necessary to connect the I/O bus
connections on the controllers with connectors in the way the lower part of the figure shows.
The 4-pin remote start connector must be configured for remote start, see chapter
Connecting devices. This
should be done on each controller in the Sync group, and according to the selected start signal input on
the Sync reference. If an external start switch is used, connect it to the Sync reference only.
Do not connect two Sync groups via the I/O bus.
Do not configure any external I/O-devices (device 1-15) on the Sync members.
120 (330) 9836 3123 01
Sync
11.2 Sync members configuration
To check before configuration:
Make sure that all PF units in the synchronised group are connected through the internal I/O bus and
that a correct connection is made.
Make sure that all PF units in the synchronised group are part of the same Cell (see chapter
Controller).
Decide which controllers should act as Sync reference and Sync members.
In the PF Map, expand the
Controller branch and double-click
Ethernet.
Set an IP address to the controller with parameter
Sync reference IP [C317].
All Sync members in a Sync group
must have the same Sync reference IP
address.
To be able to use Sync start, the 4-pin
remote start connector on the Power
Focus back panel must be configured
for remote start. See chapter
Connecting devices.

Sync
11.4 Running a Sync group
When the Sync group is running, the Sync reference alone is used for programming and selecting Pset
etc. I/O bus units, such as RE-Alarm, Socket Selector and I/O Expander, can only be controlled from the
Sync reference. On the Sync members only the internal I/O can be used.
In a synchronised application the Sync communication has top priority on the I/O bus
when the tools are running. For that reason tool start, tool disable and other safety critical
functions must not be connected to the I/O bus via I/O Expander.
The status information on each controller and tool is the individual result for that spindle. The overall
Sync OK/NOK can be given on the Field bus, RE-Alarm or relays controlled by the Sync reference. The
results from every spindle are registered separately. The status from individual Sync members can be
viewed on the Sync reference controller.
11.5 Troubleshooting
Symptom Reason/Action
Tools in a Sync group do not
start
There are a variety of possible reasons for this behaviour.
Programming-related errors:
Sync member has not set
Tool start select source [T200] to “Sync start”.
Wrong
Sync reference IP [C317] in the Sync member.
No reboot after programming
Hardware-related errors:
IP connection between one of the Sync members and the Sync reference is lost.
I/O bus cable not correctly connected or broken.
Missing I/O bus connection.
The remote start input in Sync members not correctly wired.
Error elimination:
Select a new Pset from the Sync reference. If all Sync members change to the same Pset, the
Sync group programming is correct. If not, check the programming and the Ethernet cables and
connections.
Select normal loosening and start a loosening from the Sync reference. If not all Sync members
start, check the tool trigger configuration in Sync members and the wiring of the remote start
input. Check also the I/O bus connection and the I/O bus cabling.
If a single spindle does not start, the tool, tool-cable or controller might be broken.
If all spindles in the group start loosening but not tightening check that all Psets are configured
in the same way. If not restore them again from the Sync reference (all Psets must be configured
from the Sync reference).
E870 (Sync reference), E871
or E872 is displayed.

Identifier
12 Identifier
The Identifier section describes the single and multiple identifier functions with features.
Identifiers can be sent to the Power Focus via a scanner (connected to the serial port), Field
bus, Ethernet or a ST scanner (connected to the ST tool).
Power Focus accepts incoming identifiers with up to hundred characters, of which fifty can be declared
as a
Significant string. A significant string is an identifier filter for Power Focus acceptance.
Identifiers sent to Power Focus are not allowed to contain the characters apostrophe (’)
and colon (:).
This section includes screenshots from ToolsTalk PF. The screenshots shows examples of
parameter settings and is NOT intended to be generally applicable. Check with your local
Atlas Copco reprehensive how to set up your specific system environment.
See chapter
Parameter list for a description of all available Identifier options.
One identifier can be defined with up to fifty (of hundred) significant positions
The following conditions must be met for Power Focus to accept an incoming identifier:
Incoming identifier string
must be initiated with “STX” and terminated with “EXT” (barcode reader
standard).
Input source must be correct (accepted).
Length (if specified or maximum hundred characters long) must be correct.
Incoming identifier must match the defined significant string.
If
1. restoring of identifier configuration is made
2. or a
Reset all identifier is made (command in identifier monitor or digital input)
3. or the parameters
Reset all identifier at Job done [J342] and Reset all identifiers at Pset batch done [I183] are
activated
Then the following will happen:
All identifiers will be reset.
Work order will be (cleared) aborted.
Tool will be unlocked if
Tool locked during work order [I181] is activated.
An incoming identifier that goes directly to a Job or Sync client will erase the received
identifier that is sent to the client from the Job or Sync reference.
If the system is set up in a Cell Job or Sync configuration, the parameter
No. of identifier
result parts [C604]
must be configured with identical values (1-4) for all PF units included in
the Job/Sync group.
9836 3123 01 125 (330)
Identifier
12.1 Single Identifier
With the Single identifier solution Power Focus can receive one type of identifier called Type 1. This type
can be defined with up to 400 significant strings and provide Pset/Multistage and Job selections from a
PF.
It is possible to store up to 25 identifier characters in Result part 1 (old VIN no.). Result part 1 is part of
the tightening result in the Power Focus database.
12.2 Multiple Identifier
With Multiple identifier solution Power Focus can receive up to four different types of identifier strings,
the single identifier
Type 1 (see single identifier above) plus three more types (Type 2, Type 3 and
Type 4). Types 2-4 only contain one significant string each. It is not possible to specify type 2-4 for
Pset/Multistage/Job selection (as for type 1).
Multiple identifiers provide storage in four result parts (
Result part 1, Result part 2, Result part 3 and
Result part 4). The result parts are stored together with each tightening result in the Power Focus.
The multiple identifier solution requires RBU gold or silver.
When using more than one result part, which is the default configuration in Power Focus,
it is necessary to increase the parameter
No. of identifier result parts [C604]. For more
information, see section
Result parts.
12.2.1 Work order
A Work order consists of different types (types 1-4) of identifiers. It is useful when Power Focus should
receive identifiers in a predefined order.
An identifier type can be included or not included in the work order, but during the sequence Power
Focus only accepts the types included. Type 1 must be part of the work order (i.e. it is not possible to run
a work order without type 1).
A work order has to be completed before Power Focus selects the Pset/Multistage/Job. In case a work
order exists and type 1 is configured to select a Pset/Multistage/Job.
The work order also has to be completed before Power Focus stores the accepted identifiers in the
tightening result database (identifier types not included in the work order can be stored in the tightening
results immediately after they are accepted).
All types outside the work order must be uniquely defined. Uniquely defined means a
separate input source, length or significant string compared to types included in the word
order.
When
Tool locked during work order [I181] is activated, the tool will be locked when the first identifier type
in the work order is accepted. When the work order is completed the tool is unlocked.
The tool will immediately be unlocked during a work order when;
Restoring of identifier configuration is done.
Reset all identifiers command is performed via digital input, open protocol or identifier monitor.
Reset latest identifier command is performed after the first type in the work order is accepted.

12.3.1 Result parts
In ToolsTalk PF (presuppose having a RBU gold) it is possible to display and store up to four result parts,
each max 25 characters long, which will be stored in the Power Focus database together with every
tightening result.
When using more than one result part (only for multiple identifier users) it could be necessary to increase
the number of identifier result parts in the Power Focus memory. This section describes how to do this.
The default setting is one result part (old VIN). The Power Focus configurable memory can be changed
to handle up to four result parts and is described below.
In the PF Map, expand the
Controller branch and double-click
Memory.
In the list for
Type [C600], select Totally

Increase No. of identifier result parts [C604] to
be used, from 1 to 2, 3 or 4.
Estimated memory usage cannot exceed a
hundred percent. It is therefore
recommended to decrease
No. of results
[C603]
in order to increase No. of identifier
result parts [C604]
.
Click
Store to save settings.
The changes made in
configurable memory setup will
reset the Power Focus memory
at the next reboot. All data
(tightenings results,
programmed Psets, Jobs, Sync
groups etc.) will be lost.
The only exception is
parameters
IP address [C300],
Subnet mask [C301] and Default
router [C302]
which will remain
after the reboot.
Click

Field bus
13 Field bus
A Field bus communication can be used for data communication between Power Focus and
PLC’s (programmable logic controllers). It is an effective and fast way for the data transfer of
short data packages. Field bus is normally used to send discrete I/O data instead of using a
large number of cables that have to be hard wired to relays and digital inputs.
There are many different Field bus standards on the market and they all have different hardware and
software protocols. To be able to communicate on Field bus, the Power Focus must be equipped with a
specific card for the preferred type of Field bus.
ProfiBus-DP, DeviceNet, InterBus/InterBus2MB,
ModBusPlus, ControlNet, ModBus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, ProfiBus-IO and FL-Net are the possible selections.
Power Focus acts as a client in a Field bus system. A PLC or similar will act as the
reference (master).
This section includes screenshots from ToolsTalk PF. The screenshots shows examples of
parameter settings and is NOT intended to be generally applicable. Check with your local
Atlas Copco reprehensive how to set up your specific system environment.
See chapter
Parameter list for a description of all available Field bus options.
With ToolsTalk PF the Field bus functionality in the PF can be configured to fit the customer specific
bitmap. It is a very easy way to configure or modify a customer specific bitmap. When the configuration
is done it can be downloaded to Power Focus or saved as a file for later use.
See section
Field bus configuration appendix for specific Field bus type data.

13.2 From PF setup and to PF setup
Select From PF setup or To PF setup.
Via
From PF Setup the bitmap that is sent out from the Power Focus can be configured.
Via
To PF setup the bitmap that is sent in to the Power Focus can be configured.
Click
Add item… to activate a selection list. On the right side of the item list, see information about
highlighted item.
Highlight the item and
double-click on it or click Add. The item will then be entered to the item list on
the first available line.
In the list start word, start byte and start bit for the selected item are visible. The start word, byte and bit
give the start position of an item in the bitmap. The length can also be seen and sometimes changed. If
this does not match the wanted bitmap it is easy to change the length and position in the bitmap by
changing the start positions in the item list.
Change one line at a time and then click
Enter after each line is changed. It is also possible to drag and
drop directly in the bitmap. In this case, the start positions in the item list are updated automatically. If
the bitmap is changed, and a conflict occurs, this part is marked with red.
To delete an item, highlight it in the item list and click Delete item.
The max number of selected items is 60 in From PF setup and 60 in to PF setup.
For detailed information for the possible selections, see section
Field bus configuration appendix.

13.2.2 Field bus modes
Diagnostic mode
When Diagnostic mode is on, it is possible to set Field bus data in ToolsTalk PF and send the data to PF
by clicking Set value. If Diagnostic mode “From PF” is used the Power Focus passes data from
ToolsTalk PF to PLC and ignores the data from Power Focus. If Diagnostic mode “To PF” is used the
Power Focus activates functions, which is set in ToolsTalk PF and ignores PLC data.
In Diagnostic mode the operator can only change a small part of the Field bus setting data
(only the content of a bit from zero <--> one). Rest of the settings can only be done in
Normal mode.
Monitor mode
Monitor mode is used to monitor Field bus data communication for testing purpose. This function works
only when ToolsTalk PF is online (connected to the PF).
When Monitor mode is active, the data from Power Focus to PLC is visible in the
From PF window
bitmap. Likewise the data from PLC to Power Focus is visible in the
To PF window bitmap. It is not
possible to change and store Field bus configurations in monitor mode. Data can be displayed in two
formats, defined data type format and binary format. The data in the monitor windows is updated at a
rate of three messages per second.
Normal mode
The third mode is called Normal mode. Normal mode is when none of the Diagnostic mode or Monitor
mode is selected. Under this mode, the operator can change position of a bit in a word (in a byte) for a
selected item (not the content of the bit). For instance, the operator can change job off bit position 7 to
bit position 3 by drag and drop it or just by writing it into the Bit column and press enter.
13.2.3 Store to file and read from file
Store and read Field bus configurations to file. Use the read/save Field bus functions in the file menu in
ToolsTalk PF. To store to or read from a file first activate the Field bus window. The Field bus file
extension is “*.pff”.

13.3 Field bus selector
To use this function the parameter
Pset select source [C200] must be set to “Field bus
selector”.
The Field bus selector function makes it possible to control the selection of Psets on selectors from an
external source via the Field bus. The intended type of working stations where the proposed software is
to be installed are rework stations and similar. Such stations don’t have fixed work flows for the
tightening controllers, but are often unique for each work piece depending on the failed tightenings that
have been performed previously on that work piece. The external source (e.g. a PLC) is responsible for
setting the green LED’s on the selector(s) and for selecting the Psets in the Power Focus.
For Pset selector I/O setup instructions, see chapter
Controller. For Field bus configuration, see section
Field bus configuration appendix.
13.4 Disable Field bus carried signals
A lot of users run PLC selected Jobs over the Field bus in automatic mode (i.e. “Field bus” is selected
for parameter
Job select source [C201]), and select Jobs with a digital input in emergency mode (i.e.
“DigIn” is selected for parameter
Job select source override [C203]). When emergency mode is activated
the Field bus signals could still disturb the communication. To avoid this type of problem it is
recommended to use digital input
Disable Field bus carried signals. When this digital input goes high the
following events occur:
Field bus communication is disabled.
Relay “Field bus carried signals disabled” goes high.
In ToolsTalk PF monitoring mode on Field bus “To PF” side, it is possible to display changes in
signals sent to the PF over the Field bus. (Note that the signals have no effect on the Power Focus,
since all Field bus communication is disabled).
On the Field bus side “from PF”, bits are reset to zero (0).
The traffic of “keep alive” signals continues on the Field bus. In this way no event codes (i.e. “no
connection on Field bus”) will be displayed.
All tools are enabled (presupposed that the tools were disabled from a source over the Field bus
before then).
If there is a running Job, which has been selected via the Field bus, the Job will be aborted.

Motorola Endian is default setting for ProfiBus-DP, InterBus, ModBusPlus and ModBus TCP.
Intel Endian is default setting for DeviceNet, ControlNet and EtherNet/IP.
13.5.2 Field bus data types
The Power Focus uses position format in all encoding and decoding data types. In PF position format the
most significant bit (MSB) is the bit furthest to the left and the least significant bit (LSB) is the bit furthest
to the right.
If a data type is less than one word, the MSB is the bit furthest to the left. If data type is longer than one
word, the MSB is the bit furthest top-left. If a Field bus type uses Intel Endian, byte numbers are swapped
before encoding or decoding to a specific data type.
The data field in the Field bus is from the beginning a blank data field without structure. In order to file
Power Focus item data types into Field bus we define Field bus data type, which holds the information
about placement and structure of a certain application data type mapped into the Field bus data field.
The table below shows the different data types used in Field bus data. The section items from/to PF shows
the data type available for different items.
Data type Description
Bit One bit. Normally used for discrete I/O-data.
BitField (BF) Length is 2 - 8 bits. All bits must be in the same byte. The left bit is the most significant bit and
the right bit is the least significant bit, i.e. 0001=1, 1000= 8.
Character (Char) One byte ASCII code.
CharacterStringChange (CSC) Character string. Each character uses one byte ASCII code. Range: 2 - 25 bytes.
CharacterStringInput (CSI) Character string with an extra “counter” byte in front. The extra byte is an integer counter and
must increase each time when the character string is entered to be able to detect a new input. To
enter the same value again (e.g. the same Job number), just change the counter.
FixedPointNumber (Fixed
point)
Two-byte integer part and two-byte decimal part. The first two bytes hold the integer part and
the last two bytes hold the decimal part. Used to represent torque value.
Unsigned16 (U16) 16-bit unsigned integer. Decimal 0 – 65 535.
Unsigned32 (U32) 32-bit unsigned integer. Decimal 0 – 4 294 967 295.
U32_HNW 32-bit unsigned integer. MSW is the higher number word. Only shown in Intel Endian
CharStringChangeIntel (CSCI) Character string. Each character uses one byte ASCII code. Range: 2 - 25 bytes. This type
makes Intel Endian character string follows byte order; the first character is the lowest byte in
the string. Only shown in Intel Endian
Field bus
Data type Description
CharStringInputIntel (CSII) Character string with an extra “counter” byte in front. The extra byte is an integer counter and
must increase each time when the character string is entered to be able to detect a new input. To
enter the same value again (e.g. the same Job number), just change the counter. This type
makes Intel Endian character string follows the byte order; the integer counter is the lowest
byte in the String. Only shown in Intel Endian
OctetArray (OA) It contains several octet data in the byte order.
LongCharStringChange
(LCSC)
It contains max 100 bytes character.
LongCharStrChIntel (LCSCI) In Intel mode, only allows whole word, up to 100 bytes. Only shown in Intel Endian.
Common for all data types is that a change must occur in PLC output area (To PF) to get
Power Focus to detect a new data entry. For example, if selecting JOB number 3 two times in
a row please select 0 in between.
Character string
Character String is in a reading order, i.e. from left to right, from top to bottom, regardless of the byte
order. The difference between CharStringChange and CharStringInput is a counter byte added before
character string in CharStringInput. A new input is considered when the counter changes.

13.5.3 Field bus selector configuration
The Field bus selector function makes it possible to control the selection of Psets on selectors from an
external source via the Field bus. The intended type of working stations where the proposed software is to
be installed is rework stations and similar. Such stations don’t have fixed work flows for the tightening
controllers, but are often unique for each work piece depending on the failing tightenings that have been
performed previously on that work piece. The external source (e.g. a PLC) is responsible for setting the
green LED’s on the selector(s) and for selecting the Psets in the Power Focus.
Set selector LED
In one eight socket selector, the first four positions are for Selector LED 1, and the last four positions are
for
Selector LED 2. If a four socket selector is used, only selector LED 1 is mapped.

13.5.7 DeviceNet
DeviceNet is used for industrial automation, normally for the control of valves,
sensors and I/O units and other automation equipment. The DeviceNet
communication link is based on a broadcast-oriented communications protocol,
Controller Area Network (CAN). This protocol has I/O response and high
reliability even for demanding applications, e.g. brake control.
DeviceNet has a user organisation, the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA) that assists
members in matters concerning DeviceNet. Website:
http://www.ODVA.org
The media for the Field bus is a shielded copper cable composed of one twisted pair and two cables for the
external power supply. The baud rate can be changed between 125k, 250k and 500kbit/s. This can be done
in two different ways. The first is simply by using the DIP switch, second is via SW configuration. There
are several different DeviceNet scanners available on the market, both for PLC systems and for PCs.

Configuration
In a DeviceNet network, each node has a Mac ID (the address in the network). The Mac ID is a number
between 0 and 63. Each node’s Mac ID has to be unique, since it is used to identify the node. In a
DeviceNet network it is also possible to set baud rate, with the following baud rates being available: 125,
250 and 500 Kbit / sec. All nodes in the network have to communicate at the same baud rate.
On the Power Focus DeviceNet module it is possible to set the Mac ID and baud rate using DIP switches
mounted on the module or from SW using ToolsTalk PF. Dip 1 and 2 are used to set the baud rate and
dips 3 to 8 are used to configure the node address (Mac ID). Dip 1 is the most significant bit on the DIP
switch. See table on the next page.
The Power Focus DeviceNet module is implemented in compliance with the ODVA specification for a
Communication adapter (profile no 12). It acts as a “group two only server” on the DeviceNet network.

V- and V+ must come from a fully isolated power supply. That means that the voltage cannot
have any reference to ground. This is to prevent the bus from interference caused by ground
loop problems. If V- and V+ are connected from a Power Focus internal 24VDC (screw
terminal) the same connection shall only power one DeviceNet module. This means that the
DeviceNet cable connected to the PF must not include voltage wires. Normally there is a
central power supply that feeds all nodes in the network.
Power consumption
Current consumption at 24 VDC (V- to V+) is max 70 mA at power up and 25-30 mA continuously.

13.6 InterBus/InterBus2MB
InterBus is normally used for industrial automation applications, such as valve, sensor
and I/O unit control. InterBus is used in many different types of industry, including:
automobile industry, food industry, building automation, plant construction, paper
converting, wood processing and process engineering.
InterBus has a user organisation called the InterBus Club. The organisation assists members on a wide
variety of matters concerning InterBus. For more information, contact the InterBus Club:
http://www.interbusclub.com
The media used by InterBus is a shielded copper cable consisting of three twisted pairs. Two of these pairs
are used for the bus connection and in the last pair only one cable is used. This cable is used to earth the
bus. The baud rate for the bus is 500 Kbit/s with a total amount of data of 4096 I/O points.
The Power Focus InterBus module is to be used on InterBus remote bus networks. In applications where it
is necessary to exchange large amounts of data and where a parallel application interface is required,
InterBus is the preferred option.
InterBus has two ways of exchanging data. The first way is a fast cyclical I/O data, called process data.
The other is a somewhat slower protocol called PCP, which is mainly used for configuring and setting the
parameters of a device. The Power Focus InterBus module supports up to 10 words on the bus, out of
which none, one, two or four words may be selected to act as the PCP –channel, necessary if the PCP-
protocol required.
The PCP version supported by the module is version 2.0, which is fully backwards compatible.
When using InterBus master boards where the PCP channel is not supported, the maximum
input and output is 20 Bytes in and 20 Bytes out.

Mechanical overview
ModBusPlus module is a host device. This host device can be read and written to from another
ModBusPlus host device or controller. ModBusPlus module will not initiate any point-to-point
communication to other nodes, it will only respond to incoming commands. It can although broadcast
global data to all nodes on the network.
Protocol and supported functions
ModBusPlus has two ways of exchanging data. One through fast cyclic I/O data called global data, and
one through a somewhat slower ModBusPlus protocol for point-to-point parameter data transfer. The
maximum global data is 32 words on the bus. The point-to-point data transfer is handled by using one of
the following ModBus functions read holding registers, preset single register and preset multiple registers
all 40000 registers.

13.6.2 EtherNet/IP
Ethernet is one of the most popular network technologies in use today. The
major reasons for the popularity are a suitable mix of speed, cost and ease of
installation. The technology benefits, the market acceptance, and the possibility
to support, more or less, any non-real-time critical protocol, makes the Ethernet
an ideal networking technology for most systems.

13.6.5 FL-Net
FL-Net is a control network, primarily used for interconnection of devices like PLCs, Robot controllers,
and Numerical Control Devices. FL-NET has both cyclic data and message data. There is no master on a
FL-Net network; a token communication method is used for data transmission.
The FL-Net network is based on IP/UDP broadcast messages.
The module is classified as a “Class 1” FL-Net node as it can both send and receive cyclic data.
PF only transfer cyclic data and only use area 2.
9836 3123 01 181 (330)
Field bus
Cyclic transfer
FL-Net has two areas for cyclic data, Area 1 and Area 2. These two memory areas are shared by all nodes
on the network. And every node configures the part of the area it will update.
Area 1 is 512 words.
Area 2 is 8192 words.
The cyclic data is mapped to the module I/O area, which maximizes the size of I/O data to 512 bytes in
each direction-for the module.
The time from reception of a token until transmission should not exceed 1.56 ms.

Logic Configurator
14 Logic Configurator
The Logic Configurator is a tool to combine and configure process signals coming from the
screw tightening process or from an external device. It is available in the
Power Focus 4000
hardware only and is programmed over the ToolsTalk PF interface.
At a large automotive plant, to assure the tightening quality, a new pre-assembly station required
communication between the Atlas Copco tightening system and the mechanical fixture. This would
normally have required a PLC. The PF 4000, with its integrated Logic Configurator, solves the problem
by offering basic PLC functions.
The Logic Configurator consists of up to 10 different so called Logic Sets, each denoted with a number (1
to 10, automatically chosen) and a name (25 positions, editable).
Each Logic Set consists of;
the inputs, i.e. selectable events from the Relay status array and the DigIn status arrays
the Instruction list, i.e. the logic gates
the output configuration
Every Logic Configurator circuit instruction list is evaluated every 100 ms which corresponds to a tick or
every time an input status changed.
If one digital input is configured several times, on two IO expanders for instance, the DigIn
function status is the OR result of both digital inputs.
The Relay or DigIn are of the type tracking or pulse. The pulse types are reset after one
tick. Example; OK relay is pulsed after an OK tightening and goes low after 100 ms. Reset
batch input is pulsed when activated and goes low after 100 ms.
14.1 Process description (an example)
When a work piece is positioned, a proximity
switch in the fixture detects its presence. The
work piece is held in position an air cylinder.
The position “work piece fixtured” is
detected by a second proximity switch.
When the tow proximity switches “work
piece in place” and work piece fixtured” are
active, the tightening operation can begin.
After finalizing the tightening operation, a
green lamp lights and stays alight t indicate
the OK result to the operator.

Symbol Name Description
Flip Flop Reset Dominant
(Flip Flop (RS)
The Flip-flop gate is also called latch or bi-stable relay and acts like
a memory.
R and S stand for Reset and Set. The stored bit is present on the
output marked Q1.
If S receives a positive pulse while R1 is low, then the Q1 output
goes high, and stays high when S returns low.
If R1 goes high while S is low, then the Q1 output is forced low,
and stays low when R1 goes inactive.
If both R and S are high, the output Q1is forced to low; since
priority is given to the R1 input.
S R1 Q1

The Flip-flop gate is also called latch or bi-stable relay and
acts like a memory.
R and S stand for Reset and Set. The stored bit is present on the
output marked Q1.
If S1 receives a positive pulse while R is low, then the Q1 output
goes high, and stays high when S returns low.
If R is pulsed high while S1 is held low, then the Q1 output is
forced low, and stays low when R returns low.
If both R and S are set high, the output Q is forced to low; since
priority is given to the R input.

Timer ON (TON) The output Q is triggered only if the input IN is
held high during at least Present Time (PT). The
output Q goes low when the input IN goes low.
Timer OFF (TOF) Q is triggered every time the input IN receives a
positive flank The output is high during Present
Time (PT) after the input IN has gone low.
Pulse Present Time (PT) corresponds to the pulse ON
and OFF time.
The pulse frequency is equal to f = 1 / (2 * PT) Hz
The output Q is active while the input IN is high.
Timer Pulse (TP) Q is triggered for Present Time (PT) after a
positive flank.
Note that if the new input up flanked takes place
while Q is high it will be ignored.

Logic Configurator
Symbol Name Description
Timer Pulse Reset (TPR) Q is triggered for Present Time (PT) after a
positive flank.
Note that if a new positive flank is received while
Q is high, the “on” timer will be reset and the
output will be held high for a new PT time.
Counter Up (CTU) The CTU has one output Q.
PV is the preset value of the counter i.e. the
counter value to reach for the output to be forced
high.
The counter up has a current counter value CV.
When CV is equal to PV the output Q goes high.
CV is incremented after every positive flank of the
CU input
Note that if CV = PV, then CV is not incremented.
CV is reset after a positive flank on the input R.
The output Q is kept high while CV = PV and until
R receives a positive flank
Counter Down (CTD) The CTD has one output Q.
PV is the preset value of the counter i.e. the start
value of the counter.
The counter down has a current counter value CV.
When CV is equal to zero the output Q goes high.
CV is decremented after every positive flank of the
CD input
Note that if CV = 0, CV is not decremented.
CV is reloaded (CV is set equal to PV) after a
positive flank on the input LD.
The output Q is kept high while CV = 0 and until
LD receives a positive flank.

Logic Configurator
Next, let’s define what the output signal of the Logical Set should be used for.
If the output signal should be used as input to another Logical Set, or be put out directly on a physical
Relay, no action is required in this window. The output signal from the Logical set is automatically
labelled “Logic Relay #”, where “#” is the number of the Logical Set. The signal “Logic Relay #” is
available in the drop-down menu of e.g. the Relay setup window under “Accessories” in the PF Map.
If the output of the Logical set should be used for other purposes, click on the
Output. Then select up to
four events under
Trigger digital inputs, or one of the three quick choices (Select Job, Select Pset and Use
text
).
Click
OK when finished.

Logic Configurator
14.3.1 Simulation
The Logic Configurator features an off-line simulator that helps verifying the logical grid. The line at the
lower part of the window is blue and low as long as the input settings and logic gates result in a LOW
output signal. When the inputs and the grid result in a HIGH output signal, the line turns green and alters
to the high position. The transitions up and down of the simulator will shift to the right in the window
due to the time factor.
Correspondingly, the colours of the connections in the logical grid changes colour – blue when inactive
and green when active.
Manipulate the simulator input signals by clicking on the switch symbol in the input blocks. One click
will toggle the status of the signal between HIGH and LOW.
Click the Restart simulation key to clear (set zero) all signals.

17.1.1 Statistical process control (SPC)
In order to rapidly detect changes in the process, Power Focus is equipped with a number of statistical
alarm limits based on the
x
and R calculations for torque and angle.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) functions are used on torque and angle.
All checks are performed on the Pset that the tool is currently running with.
If any of the following criteria are true the stat alarm light, and a relay (if used), is activated. The tool may
still run even if an alarm is issued. The alarm is only a warning. The alarm signals remain active until the
process falls within all limits again or the result memory is cleared. This means that the alarm does not
switch off during tightening.

X
and

). This means that the SPC trend alarms cannot function until
the number of tightenings in the memory corresponds with the user-specified number of subgroup
parameters.
17.1.4 Calculation of UCL and LCL
Power Focus calculates recommended values for UCL and LCL. The operator can then choose if he wants
to use these values or enter another value.
Subgroup size, Subgroup frequency and number of subgroups parameters are used in the calculations.
17.1.5 Calculation of
X
and
R
Power Focus calculates recommended values. The operator can then choose if he wants to use these values
or enter another value. Sub group size, subgroup frequency and number of subgroups parameters are used
in the calculations.
17.1.6 Calculation formulas
When a stat display is requested, the whole memory will be calculated. This will also be done when
shifting Pset.
Power Focus controls the lowest and highest values. If some of these drop out from memory once it is full
(first in – first out), the entire memory will be recalculated.
The formula for group range is calculated after each completed subgroup.
The formulas for the statistic parameters used by Power Focus:
X
i
= value
n = number of tightenings
Min = minimum value from all the tightenings in the Power Focus memory
Max = maximum value from all the tightenings in the Power Focus memory
minl = minimum acceptable value
maxl = maximum acceptable value

RBU
19 RBU
The RBU (Rapid Backup Unit) is a software key and data storage unit for the PF. The RBU unlocks
software applications available for each RBU type. It also stores a backup copy of the Power Focus
configuration. The RBU backup copy makes it possible to move functionality and configurations between
different PF units. A PF cannot be used without a RBU inserted.
There are different RBU types available; gold, silver, bronze, X and DS:
The
RBU gold unlocks the full capacity and functionality of the Power Focus. Features such as Cell
Jobs and synchronised tightenings are only available with the RBU gold.
The
RBU silver unlocks advanced Power Focus functionality such as Multistage and Job. This RBU
also enables full networking capability and the possibility to run Tensor DS Tools.
The
RBU bronze unlocks the basic Power Focus tightening functionality. It is not possible to run the PF
Graph with a RBU bronze.
The
RBU X unlocks Power Focus functionality specific to ETX tools.
The
RBU DS unlocks Power Focus functionality specific to Tensor DS tools.
RBU Gold RBU Silver RBU Bronze
Power Focus Ethernet address is 00-50-D6 -XX-YY-ZZ (from serial RBU).
Example RBU with serial number C00015767:
C00015767 = 003D97 (hexadecimal)
C00015767 = 00-50-D6-00-3D-97 (MAC address)
Cell network connection requires PF units with identical RBU types inserted.
The RBU serial number is also part of the Power Focus Ethernet MAC address.

19.2 Connecting the RBU
Connect the RBU to the 15-pin connector on the back panel of the Power Focus (see figure below).
Make sure that the power is switched off when connecting and disconnecting the RBU.
19.3 Start-up instructions
At start-up, the Power Focus checks for differences between the controller and RBU configurations. If an
inconsistency is detected the user is prompted to select either the controller or RBU configuration. This
makes it possible to move/copy configurations between PF units by using the RBU. The user is also given
the possibility to clear both configurations.
When changing RBU type it is only possible to load the configuration from the RBU.
Press the plus (+) or minus (-) key on the PF Compact front panel to toggle between the selections.
Confirm selection with the enter key. Press the corresponding soft key to make a selection on the PF
Graph.
9836 3123 01 221 (330)
RBU
The table describes the selections available and how to choose configuration. If the Power Focus and RBU
are incompatible for other reasons than a configuration mismatch (e.g. they have an older software
version), either the PF or the RBU is considered as NOK.

21.1 Tensor STB
Atlas Copco’s Tensor STB is a new generation of nutrunners.
STB is battery powered and communicates with the Power
Focus 4000 and 3100 tightening controller systems through
wireless digital communication, built on IRC (Industrial Radio
Communication) technique.
Tensor STB tools require a special Communication
kit to work with Power Focus 3100 which consists of
a, serial port adapter (access point) cable connector
(supplies the serial port adapter with power) and
serial cable.
The new digital tool-controller connection makes the tool configurable. Tensor STB tools have features
such as built in user-defined inputs and outputs.
IRC generally speaking:
2.4 GHz ISM band (2.4 to 2.485 GHz)
Frequency hopping (to avoid collision)
BT 2.0 (includes
Adaptive Frequency Hopping)
100 meters range
Atlas Copco adoptions of IRC for industrial use:
“Quiet” tool when not in use
New connection strategy
Configurable use of frequency
“Active” access point meaning faster connection
Configurable output power
Only one STB tool (BT device) per converter/AP, only STB can connect
Safe and easy paring procedure

Tensor tools
21.1.1 Tool functionality
The Tensor STB tool is equipped with a buzzer and blue LED’s that can be configured as outputs to
indicate a series of events, similar to the relays on the PF.
There are also four tool LED’s for specific tasks:
Connection LED: Indicates connection to Power Focus
Battery LED: Indicates battery status (fixed light for low and flashing light for empty battery)
Batch/Job LED: Indicates Batch done
Alarm LED: A failure/event is detected
The function button, situated on the direction ring, can be configured as an input similar to the inputs on
the controller. It can generate different inputs depending on the position of the direction ring, clockwise
(CW) or counter clockwise (CCW).
Different tool batteries are used for different Tensor tool types (see table below).
Battery Tool type
NiCd 14.4 V ETV tools
NiCd 12 V ETP tools
It is possible to mount external accessories directly on the tool. Connected to the bus connector, the
accessories communicate with the controller using the same data link as the tool. The tool accessory bus
is configurable to work in different modes depending on the connected device.

sequence via ToolsTalk. To do this, make an
Ethernet connection with program control from
ToolsTalk.
21.1.3 Crossover Ethernet cable connection
To get started with the Tensor STB tool a ToolsTalk Ethernet connection is needed. An easy way to do
that without any available network is by using a crossover Ethernet cable directly connected to a computer
(desktop or laptop) running ToolsTalk.
The cable between the computer and the Power Focus controller must be a Crossover
Ethernet cable.

21.2 Tensor ST
Tensor ST is a generation of transducerised tools. Tensor ST communicates with PF 3100 through digital
communication, which gives the benefit of new tool features and greater cable flexibility due to less leads.
Compared with a Tensor S tool, it is also lighter, has more power and provides better accessibility.

Torque range: 8 - 40 Nm (6 - 29 ft lb)
Weight: 1.4 kg (3.3 lb)
Length: 454 mm
Max speed: 1090 rpm
Configuration: Right angle
Running a Tensor ST tool requires a PF 3100 controller and a ST tool cable.
The new digital tool-controller connection makes the tool configurable. Tensor ST tools have features
such as built in user-defined inputs and outputs. Tensor ST and the digital tool-controller connection also
enable hot swapping between tools.
The Tensor ST tool is equipped with a
Speaker and an extra Blue LED. These two outputs may be
configured to indicate a series of events, similar to the relays on the controller. There is also optional to
add an extra
Function button situated on the direction ring. This button can be configured as a digital input
similar to the digital inputs on the controller. It can generate different inputs depending on the position of
the
Direction ring, clockwise (CW) or counter clockwise (CCW).
External accessories can be mounted directly on the tool. Connected to the

21.3 Tensor SL
Tensor SL is a completely new Tensor handheld nutrunner for low torque, based on Tensor ST
technology. Like Tensor ST, digital communication it is used between tool and controller allowing
flexible cables and more functionality in the tool. The SL controller, PF 3102 is used with low voltage
SL tools. Tensor SL does, just like Tensor ST, support hot swap, see chapter
Tool.
Running Tensor SL tools requires a PF 3102 controller and a SL tool cable.
Tensor DL tools can also be connected to the PF 3102 by using a RBU DS/DL.

Tensor tools
21.5 Tensor DS
The DS control strategy makes it possible to run
Tensor
DS tools on PF units.
The DS tool has no transducer. Therefore it is not possible to view torque trace when using this type of tool.
Instead of having an electrical signal from a strain gauge, the tool derives the torque from different relevant
parameters, such as voltage, speed, temperature and current. The tool is proven to achieve excellent
repeatability. However, the operating range is smaller than for a Tensor S tool, and the user might need to
adjust the torque measurement for each Pset and joint for better torque accuracy. The
DS torque tuning factor
[P245]
, adjusts the torque measurement for each combination of Pset and joint. The lack of a transducer also
decreases the number of Tensor S features available in DS control.
DS control strategy is not possible to run with Tensor S and ETX tools.
When programming the DS control strategy it is of greatest importance to have a well-
developed second stage. The fastener/socket should allow some angle rotation in the second
stage of the tightening, or else the torque may overshoot. The best way to determine this is
simply by observing the angle rotation during the second stage.
If the tool overshoots a red toggling LED will show on the tool. The criteria for overshoot are a short or a
non-existing second stage in combination with a high speed in the first stage. On the display event code
Torque measurement possibly invalid [E003] will be visible.
Torque tuning is performed either from the PF Graph user interface, ToolsTalk PF or automatically with
ACTA 3000. It allows an easy adjustment to the reference system torque values (e.g. ACTA 3000) and
compensates for tool-drive-programming and joint variations. One torque-tuning factor is stored with each
Pset. When a tool is controlled against an external torque reference for calibration, it is recommended to
calculate a new torque tuning value. There is one
Torque-tuning factor for each Pset (when changing Pset
settings a new torque tuning factor is needed):
Perform a number of tightenings with the external torque gauge connected, preferably 20 tightenings or
more to achieve a good mean value.
Calculate the mean value from the tightenings.
Factor Tuning Torque Old
Mean Measured
Target Final
Factor Tuning Torque New ×=
Enter and store the new DS torque tuning factor.
Perform another set of tightenings to control the torque.
If the torque is OK it is possible to run. If not, do the complete procedure over again.
238 (330) 9836 3123 01
Tensor tools
21.6 Tensor ETX
ETX tools are designed for fixtured applications that require spindles optimised for durability and where a
high requirement on tightening accuracy is needed. ETX is controlled by the Power Focus, just like Tensor
S and Tensor ST tools.
Below, data for a tool type ETX50-90COT.
ETX50-90COT
Torque range: 20 - 90 Nm (15 - 65 ft lb)
Max speed: 650 rpm
Weight: 5.9 kg
Length: 519 mm
Gear ratio: 18.21
Socket holder size: ½ inch
ETX offers multiple options when fixturing the front end of the tool. It can be fixtured with a sandwich
mount, for easy exchange of the socket holder, or mounted directly onto the front end. Different socket
holder lengths (0 – 200 mm), permit access to applications of parts with tight clearances. Spring travel can
also be increased from the standard 50 mm to 76 mm, simplifying fastening of longer bolts.
A memory chip in the tool holds calibration data, number of cycles, service data and model-specific data,
preventing accidental programming (as when a spindle is replaced during service).
The step Sync functionality synchronises the spindles to provide consistent clamp forces over the entire
component mating face, see chapter
Sync.
9836 3123 01 239 (330)
Tensor tools
21.7 Tools with open end
An Open end tool (or tube nut tool) is a Tensor S or
ST tool equipped with an Open end head. It is used
to tighten nuts on tubes and similar.
Open end tools alternate between tightening and positioning every second time the tool trigger is pressed.
Positioning means that the Open end head goes back to the reference position which makes it possible to
remove the tool from the tube.
It is not possible to perform loosenings with Open end tools and the direction ring can not be used to
control the rotation direction.
Before using an Open end tool, make sure that the tool head and tool body has been
assembled and configured correctly. If not, the tool can run in wrong direction and the
mechanical stop in the Open end head may be damaged.
If performing an OK tightening (green tool LED’s are on) with
OE forward positioning [C230]
set to “no” and pressing the tool trigger button, the LED’s will turn OFF and ON again.
This behaviour can only be seen on S and DS tools (not on ST and SL tools) and is normal.
The “reverse angle” and “rotate spindle forward/reverse” strategies are not applicable for
Open end tools.
It is not possible to use Open end tools in a Multistage configuration.
21.7.1 Start-up instruction
The start-up instruction is recommended every time an Open end tool connected PF is started up
(rebooted), or a hot swap of the tool has been made. The advantages of this are a faster tool rotation to the
Open end position, possibility to select
OE forward positioning [C230], and automatic generation of alarms.
Note that the operator has the possibility to perform tightenings without completing the start-up
configuration.
To do a start-up configuration, follow these steps:
Reboot the PF (or make a tool hot swap).
Press the tool trigger on the Open end tool once. The tool head rotates slowly in order to find a
reference position. The tool should now alternate between tightening and positioning when pressing
the tool trigger.
Perform ten consecutive tool trigger pressings, five tightenings and five positionings, and let the Open
end head rotate at least 360 degrees for every tightening.
After five correct tightenings and five correct positionings, the Open end head should rotate with a
faster speed meaning that correct reference point had been set.
If an Open end positioning fails (which happens if positioning is performed with a tool head fixed on the
tube), more tightenings and positionings are needed.
To perform an Open end tuning, see section
Open end tuning.

21.8 Tool accessories
21.8.1 ST scanner
The ST scanner is placed on the ST tool and works as a barcode reader. For more
information about the function of identifiers see chapter
Identifier.
21.8.2 ST GPIO
GPIO (General purpose I/O) is a digital input and output connector for ST tools. The four
pins (four buttons combined with four LED’s on the GPIO device) can each be
configured as a digital input and/or digital output (see table below). That means one pin
can function as a single digital input/output, or both as a digital input and digital output.
GPIO is not available for STB tools.
Pin Function Input Output Duration Time
1 - 4 Input or output Logical function Logical function Output duration Duration time
21.8.3 ST selector
The ST selector has two different modes, mode 1 and mode 2. In Mode 1 the selector only
utilises the tool accessory bus as GPIO. This mode only supports a maximum of 15 Psets
(1-15). In
Mode 2 the selector is a true ST accessory taking full advantage of the bus
capabilities.
Mode 1 is primarily intended for use with the Power Focus world 3
software release and later. Mode 2 is recommended for users with Power
Focus world 5 software releases.
For Selector Mode configuration , see section
Tool configuration
21.8.4 ST/SL cable
ST and SL tools are used together with a cable, especially designed for the particular
tool type. The cables are equipped with memory devices used for storing information
about the tool cable, number of tightenings etc. This information can be viewed in the
diagnostic branch
9836 3123 01 241 (330)
Quick reference guide
22 Quick reference guide
Use this appendix in conjunction with chapter Digital inputs and outputs as a reference guide when
programming the Power Focus. A more general description of the tightening and control strategies
available can be found in chapter
Controller.
A joint is regarded as hard if the clamping angle, α, is small and soft if α is
large. There is no limit, but test standards define α < 30° as hard. The
dynamic effects on tightening increase dramatically if angles go down
substantially (approximately 15°).
On the following pages different control and monitoring strategies are calculated. Study the graphs and the
parameters that need to be set. Note that the graphs are presented schematically, which means that
programming results may look different compared to the graph.

Disable Field bus
carried signals
When this digital input goes high following events occur:
Field bus communication is disabled.
Relay “Field bus carried signals disabled” goes high.
In ToolsTalk PF monitoring mode on Field bus “To PF” side, it is possible to
display changes in signals sent to the PF over the Field bus. (Note that the
signals have no effect on the Power Focus, since all Field bus communication
is disabled).
On the Field bus side “from PF” will all bits be reset to zero.
The traffic of “keep alive” signals continues on the Field bus. In this way no
event codes (i.e. “no connection on Field bus”) will be displayed.
All tools are enabled (presupposed that the tools were disabled from a source
over the Field bus before then).
If there is a running Job, which has been selected via the Field bus, the Job
will be aborted.

strategy
One stage: tightening is performed in one stage. Control is done from Cycle
start [P110]
until Final target [P113] is reached.
Two stage: tightening is performed in two stages. Control is done from
Cycle start [P110] until First target [P111]. The tool stops and then
accelerates to a lower speed and controls until
Final target [P113] is
reached.
Quick step: quick step is a variant of a two stage tightening. The difference
is that the tool speed changes directly from the higher speed to the lower
speed without stopping.
Ergo ramp: This is a two stage strategy with a constant increase in torque
during the second stage of the tightening. Gives the operator constant
reaction torque in the tool regardless of rundown speed.

into. Each window is then evaluated separately.
Mean value foundations are calculated from a number of windows to reduce the
effect of noise. Fewer number of windows mean that more samples will be grouped
together, hence one odd sample will have less impact on the calculated mean value
and vice versa. A higher
No. of PVT windows [P223] makes the monitoring more
sensitive whereas a lower number will filter more noise.
The number of windows can be chosen between 1 and 9999.

J300 Job list The Job list specifies the Psets and Multistages that can be included in
the Job. The total number of Psets/Multistages in one Job can not exceed
30.
This parameter contains:
PF channel: Power Focus channel ID that the selected Pset and
Multistage belongs to.
Pset/Ms (Event): identification number of Psets/Multistages included in
the Job. The Psets/Multistages specified in the Job must be predefined,
and they can be included in more than one Job. Same Pset/Multistage
can be used several times in a Job.
Pset name: name of the selected Psets/Multistages. (Pset name is not
visible in Job list on PF Graph).
Auto select: yes = auto select, no = manually select.
With auto select the Job functionality automatically chooses the next
Pset. With a manually selected Pset/Multistage the operator must
manually choose the next Pset.
This function is only available for forced order Jobs.
It is not possible to use the auto select functionality for
free order Jobs (see parameter
Job order type [J301]).
A Job has override privileges, in comparison to a single
Pset/Multistage, on a selected possible number of NOT
OK tightenings.
Batch size: A batch size should be specified for each Pset or Multistage
in a Job. The batch size specifies the number of tightenings to be
performed for each Pset or Multistage. Maximum batch size is 99. It is
possible to define free running Psets/Multistages by setting batch size to
0. In this case the bypass function must be used to be able to continue
the selected Job.
Max coherent Not OK tightenings (NOK’s): Max coherent Not OK
tightenings (NOK’s) are a selectable possible number of Not OK
tightenings for each Pset/Multistage in a Job. (This function is also
available for each single Pset/Multistage, see parameter
Max coherent
NOK’s [P153]
).
The tool will be locked (for both tightening and loosening) when
number of possible not OK tightenings is reached for each batch.
When the tool is locked due to possible not OK tightenings the only
ways to unlock the tool are:
Reset counter for performed not OK tightening via a digital input.
Select abort Job (in case the selected Job shall not lock the tool).
Select Job off.
J301 Job order type A Job must be defined as forced order Job, free order Job or free and
forced order Job.
Free order: offers the operator to perform Psets/Multistages in any order.
The Job members work independently from each other. In a Cell Job
with free order, all Job members are able to perform tightenings at the
same time.
Forced order: Psets/Multistages must be performed in the order specified
in the Job list. One Job member at a time performs a tightening while the
other Job members are locked.
Free and forced order: allows the operator to perform Psets/Multistages
in the same PF channel as the order defined Job, but the operator is free
to perform tightening from any channel in the Job.

J312 Decrement batch at
OK loosening
Decrement batch at OK loosening makes it possible to redo the latest
made tightening/increment in a Job. The batch counter of the Pset or
Multistage is decreased with one step. It is not possible to go back one
step after the Job has been completed.
If ”batch counter type” is set to OK and last tightening was
a NOK tightening, an OK loosening will not decrease the
batch counter.
When the control strategy “Ds con” is implemented and
this parameter is set to “yes”, the batch does not decrement
after an OK loosening.
No
J320 Max time to start Job This parameter defines the time limit, from when the Job is running to

T440 QRTT on On/Off
Automatic tool calibration using the ACTA 3000 and a QRTT device is
enabled in this branch. A tool calibration session is started by connecting
the ACTA to the Power Focus and fit the QRTT device to the spindle. One
Multistage with three Psets is used when the calibration is run, one torque
tightening (for torque calibration) and two different rotate spindle (for
loosening and angle calibration) Psets.
It is necessary for the Power Focus to have enough memory space available
to store the Multistages and Psets needed. If the calibration shows an
unsatisfactory result the operator is assumed to take the appropriate action.
No calibration value (calibration- or normalisation value etc.) will be
changed automatically.

Parameter name Description Default
value
S100 Sync group list Create a Sync group list by selecting available PF units.
S101 Tightening strategy Defines strategy to use for Sync tightening.
Available options: Stage and SynchroTork
SynchroTork allows continuous synchronisation of up to six spindles during
final tightening. This will improve assembly quality in the joints where an
even clamp force build-up is critical, such as in U-bolt applications. The
torque difference between the spindles is minimised during the tightening
stage by adjusting the individual speeds.
Synchronisation of the tools is assured through high-speed communication
via the proprietary Power Focus accessory bus. It should be noted that this
function does not eliminate the need for a reaction bar, or similar, in higher-
torque applications.
Option “SynchroTork” is only available for PF 4000.
SynchroTork is not applicable for angle and DS control
strategies.
State Sync
S102 Loosening strategy Normal/Sync loosening. Sync loosening is a safety feature that makes all
spindles sense torque before loosening starts. Normal means that all spindles
are loosening with full speed and power.

InterBus, ModBusPlus, ModBus/TCP and Ethernet/IP. If there is no Field bus configuration
inside the Power Focus when open Field bus icon or read from PF, “none” will be shown in
the setup window. If offline programming is used, “none” is selected when starting. If there is
no Field bus card installed in Power Focus, Field bus programming only works in offline
mode.
F102 From PF data
length
From PF data length is the total length in bytes of the data string sent from the PF to the PLC.
The lengths must be the same as defined in the PLC. Because swap bytes are needed for some
Field bus type, only even numbers should be programmed (2, 4, 8, 10, etc). Data length
should be a number higher than zero.
The maximum length that can be programmed is different for each Field bus type.
If InterBus is used, the PF has to be restarted when the data length is changed.
F103 To PF data length To PF data length is the total length of the data string send from the PLC to the PF. The
length must be the same as defined in the PLC. Because swap bytes are needed for some Field
bus types, only even numbers should be programmed (2, 4, 8, 10, etc). Data length should be
a number higher than zero.
The maximum length that can be programmed is different for each Field bus type.
If InterBus is used, the PF has to be restarted when the data length is
changed.
F104 From PF global
data length
From PF global data length is the length of sending broadcast data to the network. This is a
special function for ModBusPlus, not available for other Field bus type. If only point-to-point
data is transferred, set this parameter to zero.
From PF data length - From PF global data length = From PF point-to-point
data length (which is only available in ModBusPlus).
F105 To PF global data
length
To PF global data length is the length of receiving broadcast data from the network. This is a
special function for ModBusPlus, not available for other Field bus type. Max length = 64
bytes. If only point-to-point data is received, set this parameter to zero.
To PF data length - To PF global data length = To PF point-to-point data
length (which is only available in ModBusPlus).

Some buses can use a SW-configured node address and baud rate. This parameter has two
selections:
Software: Makes it possible to program node address and baud rate from user interface.
Hardware: Node address and baud rate is configured with the switches on the Field bus card.
Normally the switches on the Field bus card must be set in a specific way to
enable these parameters from ToolsTalk PF.
F111 FB node address This parameter specifies the network ID number used in the Field bus system. Two
controllers in the same Field bus network cannot have the same node address.
It is possible to set FB node address from 1 to 125.

F113 Connection mode This parameter manages the way the Field bus system detects changes of data on the different
controllers. Some Field bus types have the possibility to set different connection modes.
There are three modes; polled, bit strobe and change of state.
The settings in the PF and the PLC must be the same.
F120 Set node address
from
Some buses can use a SW-configured node address. This parameter has two selections:
Software: Makes it possible to program node address from user interface.
Hardware: Node address is configured with the switches on the Field bus card.
Normally the switches on the Field bus card must be set in a specific way to
enable these parameters from ToolsTalk PF.
F120 Set node address
from
ModBusPlus global data exchanges require a source address, which is a node address where
to get the global data from.
Software: the node address is set from user interface.
Hardware: the node address only can be set from the switches on ProfiBus card.
F130 PCP length Provides a way to send longer data strings than the standard 20 bytes process data. The data
package that is sent to or from the Power Focus can be longer than the 20 bytes process data.
The part exceeding the process data is sent in small packages. The PCP length defines the
package length. PCP data has lower priority then the process data.
Available selections are 0, 1, 2, and 4. These numbers are the lengths in words. 0 = no PCP.
The PF has to be restarted when the PCP length is changed. The length must be
the same in the PLC.
F131 Process data
length
Process data length is the first part of the InterBus message. The length has to be same for
both input and output data. Maximum process data length is 20 bytes minus the PCP length in
bytes. This means that the highest Process string length is 20 bytes if PCP is zero.
The PF has to be restarted when the process data length is changed. The length
must be the same in the PLC.
F140 Set Source

25.4 Sub information for event codes
Each event code is logged together with four integer parameters. For some event codes these parameters
are used to store extra information about the event.
The follow sections contain event codes and explanations of the related integer parameters.
Event codes
9836 3123 01 325 (330)

E147, E149, E152, E206, E501, E511 and E514
In case the tool is locked while a user attempts to start a service (normally tightening or loosening), the
Power Focus will show an event code to explain why or by which functionality the tool is locked. In case
the tool becomes locked while a service is performed, the service will be aborted and an event code
explaining why or by which functionality the tool was locked will be displayed.
The event codes messages generated because the tool is locked do contain two integer parameters that can
be viewed from the event log.
The first parameter explains which service that was denied or aborted (see table below).
Parameter Definition
0 Tightening
1 Loosening
2 Positioning (Open end tool only)
3 Motor tuning
4 Open end tuning (Open end tool only)
5 Tracking
The second parameter explains if the service was denied during start attempt or aborted while performed
(0 = Service denied, 1 = Service aborted).
The third and fourth parameters are not in use.
For more information see chapter Tool.
