Inputs Description
START
When asserted, on any input type, the tool starts and runs the currently selected job/task. This input is overridden
by the STOP input. If STOP is used and a tool restart is required, remove the STOP, remove the START, then re-assert
the START. If the tool is required to operate in Disassembly mode, remove the START, assert the REVERSE input, and
then re-assert the START.
When removed, from any bus of Input, the tool stops. Even if a second START input is active, the tool stops when
any START is removed.
Size: 1 bit
Configuration:
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Latch: This is applicable to external inputs only. This is not applicable to the trigger on the tool handle.
Yes – Causes the START input to latch internally after a time period has elapsed. The physical START input can
be removed without stopping the tool. The tool runs until all steps in the active task are complete or time out.
A TIME parameter is available to set how long the START input must be applied, in seconds, before the Latch
becomes active.
No – The Latch function is off.
Spindle: Type the spindle number for tool to be started.
START
REVERSE
When asserted on any input bus, the tool mode is switched to Reverse (Disassembly) AND the tool is started. This is
different from the REVERSE input function in that REVERSE puts the tool into Reverse mode only.
When removed the tool stops and switches back to Forward mode.
Size: 1 bit
Configuration:
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Spindle: Type the spindle number for tool to be reversed.
STOP
When asserted, on any input type, the controller stops the tool. It also prevents the tool from running while it is
applied.
When removed nothing happens other than the tool runs.
Size: 1 bit
Configuration:
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Spindle: Type the spindle number for tool to be stopped.
TASK VERIFY
When asserted on any input bus, the controller verifies the selected and active task is equal to this input’s task. Use
the TASK parameter under Configuration to select the task number to verify. If the wrong task is selected the tool is
disabled.
When removed, verification will not happen.
Size: 1 bit
Configuration:
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Task: Type the task number to verify when this input is asserted.
Spindle: Type the spindle number for which the task is to be verified.
