2.5 Usage of Tightening program (Pset) selection
In order to be able to select tightening programs in Power Focus 6000 the Virtual Station needs to use a
Source Tightening as task. If using MID 0010-0011 with no task or any other task but Source Tightening,
the Power Focus 6000 will send a list back containing indexes of all tightening programs from Tightening
menu. If a Source Tightening is not selected, the Power Focus 6000 will not be able to use MID 0018 and
instead, the Power Focus 6000 will respond with error MID 0004, status 03 – Parameter set cannot be set.
When a Source Tightening is used the Tightening program list that will be sent by MID 0011 will consist
of the list that is configured in the selected Source Tightening task. The ID/index in the message will be
the same as the configured “Identifier number” in the Source Tightening. That will say, it will NOT be the
Tightening program index found in the Tightening menu.
When selecting by MID 0018, the ID/index to send is the one that is received with MID 0011. This is the
configured “Identifier number” in the selected Source Tightening. If trying to select and ID/index that is
not configured as an “Identifier number”, even if there is a Tightening program with this index in the
tightening menu, the error MID 0004, status 03 – Parameter set can not be set, will be sent from the Power
Focus 6000.
When subscribing for selected Tightening program, MID 0014-0017, the sent ID/index from the Power
Focus 6000 will always be the index for the Tightening program found in the tightening menu. This
implies that the configured “Identifier number” in the selected Source Tightening will never be sent with
MID 0015. In all MIDs containing Tightening program info (like MID 0061), the ID/index will always be
the one found in the tightening menu, not the configured “Identifier number” in the selected Source
Tightening.
When using MID 0012 to fetch Tightening program data, the ID/index to use shall always be the one
found in the tightening menu and not the configured “Identifier number” in the selected Source
Tightening.
2.6 Usage of Tightening program (Pset) batch size
In Power Focus 6000 it is possible to run dynamic batch control on Tightening program level. To do so the
Virtual Station need to run a Source Tightening task configured to use External Batch Control. It is then
possible to send MID 0019 to select a batch size for a configured Tightening Program.
If a command request to set batch size for a non-existing Tightening Program, that is a non programmed
identifier in the list in the Source Tightening configuration, a command error MID 0004 with status 79
will be returned.
It is possible to setup batch sizes for non selected Tightening Programs, but that is in the Source
Tightening configuration list. However, if there is a configuration change of the running Source
Tightening, the cached batch sizes will be reset and the client need to set all batch sizes again.
MID 0020 is now also supported to reset current running batch. However, the payload data will not have
any effect. The Power Focus 6000 will not check if the reset command is for the current running
Tightening Program.
