Introduction
The TCV-Ethernet and SLTC-FM Switch Wrench are an integrated torque control and data
management/communications system. The system is designed for high speed, high volume
assembly operations using Ethernet communications running the PowerFocus open protocol.
Tool communications are performed using frequencies the 2.4GHz band. Primary upstream
communication is via the supplied Ethernet connector; other communications are through an
I/O port, RS-232 port, and liquid crystal display.
The TCV-Ethernet is essentially two communications systems working together. The TCV
(Torque Control Verifier) function receves and processes communications with the Switch
Wrench programmed into the unit as the current working tool. The information gathered by the
TCV is communicated to the Ethernet interface, which handles primary upstream communica-
tions to the plant floor control system. As fasteners are tightened, they are reported to the TCV
by the torque wrench. As events (individual tightenings or batch completions) occur, the
Ethernet side of the unit encodes the information using the PowerFocus Open Protocol and
transmits it via the Ethernet connection.
We recommend that purchasers and users read this manual thoroughly. If this unit is mishan-
dled, bodily injury or damage to the unit may occur.
This manual is a general guide to the operation of the TCV-Ethernet unit. If any additional ques-
tions arise, please contact your sales representative.
