Concepts
Interfaces
The Global 400mp has 4 interfaces. Interfaces within the Global 400mp work almost like having
4 logical process monitors inside the single physical Global 400mp. Some settings, such as IP
Address and beeper settings, are shared between the interfaces. Each interface has its own
parameters and jobs as well as its own tightening log and can be controlled separately by a plant
control system.
Tools
The Global 400mp can associate with up to 16 Sturtevant Richmont radio torque tools and 8
holding tools. At most, 4 torque tools and 4 holding tools will be active at a time, depending on
the selected operations. To use a tool with the Global 400mp, you must first “learn” (connect the
radio) the tool to the Global 400mp. The process to do this is described in the Quick Start.
Tools are not activated directly by the unit. Instead, they are activated when a parameter that
uses the tool is running. Tools are assigned to a single interface, which may be changed at any
time. A tool may be used by more than one parameter, but only by parameters belonging to the
same interface as the tool.
The Global 400mp can store some information about when calibration or preventative
maintenance should occur. These are set up in the Tool Configuration screen, which is described
in the next chapter.
Parameters
Parameters are the basic unit of operation for the Global 400mp. A parameter contains a tool to
run and some settings to use with it, such as the batch size and minimum and maximum torques.
The Global 400mp supports 40 parameters per interface. Each parameter must be associated
with one of the learned tools assigned to its interface before it can be run.
A parameter may additionally have one holding tool assigned.
Jobs
Jobs are the top level of operation in the Global 400mp, made up of multiple parameters that
must all run together in a sequence. The Global 400mp supports 20 jobs per interface with up to
30 steps (parameters or p-sets) each. A job will only use parameters belonging to the same
interface as the job. A job may have multiple parameters that use the same tool or even the same
parameter multiple times and may use parameters with different types of primary tools. When
defining a job, you may override the batch count for parameter steps in the job.
