For those that haven’t switched to this more robust means of collecting data, the QB Expert Alpha controller
supports the PFCS, OPEN and Toyota PI protocols over a serial connection.
2.6 Navigation
The QB Expert Alpha controller’s four navigation and input areas facilitate menu navigation, selection and data
input:
– Interactive Menu buttons
– Arrows and Toggle button
– Keypad
– Touch screen
Labels for the four interactive menu buttons [ 1 ] change with menu selection.
If the label is blank, the button has no function for the current screen.
The up/down arrows [
2 ] navigate menu and character selections; the left/
right arrows enable backspace and space, as well as navigate between tabs.
The Toggle button [
3 ] switches between modes and selects/accepts choices
(synonymous with OK interactive menu button).
The numeric keypad [
4 ] facilitates data input and menu selection (where
applicable) and Job/Task selection when enabled.
The five LEDs [
5 ] specify status of the fastening cycle for spindle 1:
– Red indicates high torque/angle;
– Green indicates an OK fastening cycle;
– Yellow indicates low torque/angle;
– White is programmed by the embedded PLC, and
– Blue indicates when the tool is enabled to run.
The Orange Wrench icon [ 6 ] indicates preventive maintenance is due on the
tool of spindle 1.
2.7 Display
2.7.1 Scroll Bar
A scroll bar appears on the right of the screen when more items are available than the display allows to view at
one time. The black scroll bar indicates which list items are currently displayed. No scroll bar means all items are
currently displayed.
To navigate between menu items, use the up/down arrows or, if available, use the keypad to identify the
corresponding menu item number.
2.7.2 Dropdown
A dropdown arrow appears to the right of menu items with multiple choices. To view choices, highlight the menu
item using the up/down arrows then use the Toggle button to expand the dropdown. Use up/down arrows to
scroll and the toggle or interactive menu button to select/accept.
