Operation
8.1 General
The sequence controller AST6 can be programmed via the web interface as well as
directly via the touch display. Both operating MMIs provide different possibilities. The web
interface offers a larger surface and better possibilities for displaying. Therefore several
points that take up several pages in the control menu are compiled here on one page.
Screwing sequences can be easily prepared using the web interface. You are able to
create multi-level screwing programs and and add commands for the result display and the
documentation. Standard programs that are parametrized matching to the connected EC
screwdriver can be created directly on the sequence controller AST.
Test functions can not be performed via the web interface since the movement of the EC
screwdriver can only be started via the touch display.

Operating via the Touch Display
The sequence controller AST6 is equipped with a TFT touch display. The operation is
done directly via the touch surface of the display.
