4 WARNING With a view to constantly improving its products, Desoutter reserves the right to introduce all the changes as it may deem necessary to the products described herein, without prior notice. This document includes important notes relating to safety. These are mentioned as follows: Safety note. This document also includes essential instructions to use the product, as well as general information. These are mentioned as follows: Essential instruction. General information. 2 - INTRODUCTION This manual explains how to use the CVI range software: CVIPC The CVIPC 2000 software can be used with all the control systems of the CVI series (TWINCVI, MODCVI, CVIS, CVIL-II, MULTICVI, MULTICVIL-II, CVIC, CVIC-II, CVIR II, CVIXS and MULTICVIC controllers). It offers a complement to the use of the controller(s) and allows the user to: Program the cycles and then upload them to the controllers. Process the tightening results in the form of curves and statistical calculations. Increase the memory capacity to save the results and curves. Save the parameters and results Transfer data to a spreadsheet for subsequent analysis. The additional advantage offered by the Advanced CVIPC 2000 software is that it can control up to 16 networked controllers in real time (in command mode). The software can be equally operated in Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows 2008, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, Windows 8. The link is of the following type: RS232 for a point- to-point link between the PC and a controller. RS422 for a network of several controllers. CVIPC Transfer mode and Command mode The software can operate in two modes: Transfer mode : allows the operator to upload the parameters from the PC to the controller or to download data from the controller to the PC. Command mode : is used to monitor the controller in real time Point-to-point connection and multipoint connection Two types of connection are available between the PC and the controller: The point-to-point connection is a connection between the PC and a single controller. The multipoint connection allows the user to connect several controllers at the same time. Each mode (Transfer/Command) can be used with each type of connection. The standard use is the point-to-point connection. The multipoint connection requires a specific configuration of the addresses of the controllers (the network address should be specific of each controller). The CVI can be connected to the PC via an Ethernet gateway or an integrated Ethernet link (TWINCVI). In that case, each station has a network address which must correspond to the IP address of the CVI. (See 5). The standard CVIPC 2000 software is used for the point-to-point connection of a single controller. The CVIS/CVICPC 2000 software is used for the point-to-point connection of a single CVIS / CVIC / CVIC-II L and H / CVIL-II, controller. The Advanced CVIPC 2000 software is used for the multipoint connection of several controllers Installation Hardware and software requirements The computer should be a PC or compatible and have at least one serial port or Ethernet connection CVIPC 2000 software protection The software is protected by a registering code. As long as this code has not been entered, the software is run in Demo mode. This software version is limited to 90 days' operation. Each time the software is run, a message that indicates the number of remaining days before the evaluation is displayed. When the period has elapsed, a warning message is displayed: "You are not allowed to run this software!". By or before the end of the 90-day evaluation period, you must request your registering code to be allowed to continue using the software. 4 / 44 04/2017

This speed is used for all reverse running (save for the run reverse phase in a cycle) Minimum torque required to detect a real untightening of the assembly. Minimum angle required to detect a real untightening of the assembly. Maximum run reverse duration (when equal to 0, reverse running is continuous). Direction for which reverse action is applied. Action evaluated when reverse selector is set to reverse direction position. SpindleDir : Reverse in opposite of the spindle way with default parameters. Last Phase : Reverse in opposite of the last tightening phase programmed in the current cycle. OnCycle : Use a cycle programmed in the cycles list. Cycle programmed with "OnCycle" option. Options Report acknowledgement Error acknowledgement Scy pulse Run reject spindles Lock on NCYCOK Spindle validation at run reverse AZC and unbalance test on SCY Reject Report on SCY stop Reject report on time out Current monitoring Coefficients per cycle Reverse one shot This option is used to forbid the start of the spindle as long as the RP Request input is not validated. Validates or not the Error Acknowledgement mode after a reject report. The Start Cycle signal can be activated with a pulse. When this mode is enabled, the system runs only the spindles with a reject report from the previous cycle. A Reset command must be sent to start all the spindles. When this function is enabled, the Start Cycle is locked by the system as soon as the number of cycles run with an accept report has reached the programmed NCYCOK. A reset command must be sent to unlock the cycle start. This function is used to validate or not the run reverse operation through an external control system (Inputs/Outputs). Using this option, you no longer need to run the zero correction and torque unbalance tests when the cycle starts, which is particularly useful for the spindles which are already subjected to stress when the cycle starts. This mode allows you to prevent the Reject Report signal from being sent systematically each time the Start Cycle signal drops during the cycle. If this option is ticked, a Reject RP is generated when a cycle finishes with a Time Out. This is used to solve applications when the torque and the angle are inside tolerances and yet the tightening is NOK (ex: the screw is damaged just before the torque is reached). Yes / No. This mode allows you to monitor the value of the motor current (I) at end of cycle. The I min and I max tolerances are programmed in a tightening phase of the Torque or Torque + angle type. Yes / No. If the answer is yes, sensitivity coefficients can be defined for each cycle. They are modified by performing the calibration procedure in Test mode. As soon as the tool has run reverse once, it automatically returns into tightening mode. 04/ / 44

Time to switch off the front lights after no using (Off, 1, 2, 5, 10 mn). Modify the reverse mode Alternate: each pressure on the reverse button changes the direction of rotation of the tool. 1 shot: a pressure on the reverse button activates the loosening and return automatically to normal direction at the next start. 2 shot: 2 pressure on the reverse button activates the reverse mode. Start: a pressure on the reverse button starts the tool in the loosening direction as long as the reverse button is activated. 5s / 10s / 30s / 60s / Off / On. 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 Hz. Nominal load coefficient Gear ratio coefficient Sensitivity coefficient Torsion coefficient< [ /Nm] by default. This coefficient allows you to take into account a reduction gear added to the tool. For example, when using a gear reduction of 2, the nominal load coefficient will be by default. This coefficient allows you to take into account the efficiency of a reduction gear added to the tool. e.g.: 1.15% (efficiency 85%) by default. Only on display, as it is automatically computed in one of the screens of the Test window by default. This factor is used to compensate for a possible mechanical torsion of the spindle or of the crowfoot (available only for a tightening with angle-controlled stop). 18 / 44 04/2017

19 CVIPC Cycles A cycle is a sequence of phases which are run consecutively. Each phase is defined by means of main parameters, tightening instructions and motor settings. The CVIPC 2000 software allows you to create: Controller Cycle Phases CVI-II TWINCVI-II MULTICVI-II From no. 1 to 250 Each cycle can include up to 20 phases. CVIS From no. 1 to 15 Each cycle can include up to 8 phases. CVIC-II H CVIL-II From no. 1 to 50 Each cycle can include up to 15 phases. CVIC-H or M From no. 0 to 15 Each cycle can include up to 15 phases. CVIC-L Cycle 0 stored in the tool. 3 preset phases. CVIC-II L CVIC-L+ Cycle no. 1 only Each cycle can include up to 15 phases. MULTICVIL-II From no. 1 to 31 Each cycle can include up to 20 phases. CVIR II From no. 1 to 50 Each cycle can include up to 15 phases. CVIXS From no. 1 to 50 Each cycle can include up to 15 phases Phases available depending on the type of controller: TWINCVI / MODCVI / CVI-II MULTICVIL-II / MULTICVI / MULTICVIC / CVIL-II CVIS CVIC-L / MODCVIC-L CVIC-M CVIC-H / CVIC-L+ /MODCVIC-H / CVIC-II L / CVIC-II H / CVIR II / CVIXS Search sequence X X X X X Rundown speed X X X X X X Final speed phase X X X X X X Run Reverse X X X X Action on NOK X X X X X Prevailing torque X X X X Synchro waiting X X X Jump X X X X Approach phase X X X The following phases of a cycle are available: Phase Search sequence Rundown speed Final speed phase Run reverse Action on NOK Prevailing torque Synchro Waiting Jump Approach phase Abbreviation S D F R V p W J d The Synchro waiting phase is not available on CVIS. The Approach phase is only available on CVIC. An empty phase is considered as a fully valid phase. It shows the end of the current cycle. Introducing an empty phase is particularly interesting to carry out two actions one after the other to correct a fault. Example: F1 V F2 --- R1 F3 If the action on NOK gives an accept report, proceed to phase F2, then the cycle stops. If the action on NOK gives a reject report, proceed to phase R1 if the Action on NOK phase is programmed on Jump to Phase No / / 44

E.g.: untighten the screw or the 2 screws, restart tightening, etc. The action for all the tests before the last one, is selected under First Tests. If a Jump option is selected, the program is resumed from the indicated phase. For the last test, or if there is only one test, the action on NOK is selected under Last Test with a possible jump to the indicated phase. Several options are available: Option End Run Reverse + End Jump Run Reverse + Jump Jump to OK spindles Run Reverse + Jump to OK spindles To stop the tightening cycle. To run reverse according to the programmed time and then stop the cycle. The cycle proceeds to the indicated phase. A run reverse phase is run according to the programmed time then the cycle proceeds to the indicated phase. In the case of multispindle stations (number of spindles > 1), if one spindle at least is NOK, the program proceeds only for the OK spindles to the indicated phase. Same as above with previous run reverse phase for the NOK spindles. Number of tests Run reverse s. time Groups (TWINCVI and MULTICVI) This function is available only for multispindle stations (e.g. a TWINCVI in synchronous mode).

25 CVIPC 2000 When a report is rejected (torque, angle or torque rate threshold not achieved), it is possible to proceed with the cycle by ignoring the threshold. In the Action on NOK window, select the parameters to be ignored for the selected spindle Prevailing torque phase This phase allows you to check the load moment (prevailing torque) in a mechanical assembly. Examples of mechanical assemblies: gear box, crankshaft, etc. The initial time out (expressed in time or angle) is a means of eliminating the shock pulse at the start of the motor and of the mechanism. Two types of monitoring are available, according to time or angle or to torque. Target angle Min., max. 0 - max. value for the spindle. torque Safety torque 0 - max. value for the spindle Prevailing torque monitoring, with time- or anglecontrolled stop Type Start time or angle Prevailing offset Reset at phase start Constant shift Time / Angle s or Ignore / Add (to the measurement) / Subtract (from the measurement).

26 CVIPC Synchro waiting phase (not available on CVIS) Jump phase This phase allows you to design sophisticated cycles with cycle and phase jumps. For example : D F1 V1 F2 --- F3 J1 This phase is used to synchronise the phases of several spindles, even for a station formed by several spindles belonging to (physically) synchronised controllers. To do this, it is necessary to program a waiting phase for each controller and use the Synchro signals (see technical manual). Operating principle: Each controller reports to the others that it has reached its waiting phase by resetting to 0 the Synchro signal. Then it waits until the other controllers reach their own waiting phase by scanning the Synchro input, to proceed together to the end of the cycle. After the programmed time out, the controller continues or stops the cycle depending on the selected option. D Run down speed phase F1 Final speed phase V1 Action on If NOK, jump to phase 6 (F3). NOK Otherwise, run phase F2 then stop the cycle. F2 Tightening Fourth phase. --- Empty phase The cycle is stopped. F3 Tightening SCY phase in case of NOK on phase 4.

After a 10 second delay (max. time programmed by default), the controller continues or stops the cycle. It is used for a fast approach to the screw without reaching the joint. Number of rotations Max torque Safety torque Number of rotations to be run by the tool during this phase: Maximum torque not to be exceeded at the end of the phase: 0 Nm to max value for spindle.

The navigation buttons (2) allow you to scan the tightening result records Detailed report codes in PC4 format The last column of results shows the nature of the report (Accept or Reject). Should it be a reject report, the software will indicate the probable reasons for this failure, using one or two letters. Exemple : Rtt First letter Second letter Third letter First letter A R Accept. Reject. Second letter t T a A r R m R = Reject t = Min. torque t = Time out The torque reached at the end of the cycle is lower than the programmed minimum torque. The torque reached at the end of the cycle is higher than the programmed maximum torque. The angle measured from the angle threshold is lower at the end of the cycle than the programmed. The angle measured from the angle threshold is higher at the end of the cycle than the programmed maximum angle. The torque rate (ΔC/Δ ) is lower at end of cycle than the programmed minimum torque rate. The torque rate (ΔC/Δ ) is higher at the end of the cycle than the programmed maximum torque rate. The monitoring (current or 2nd transducer) of the torque reached at end of cycle is lower than the programmed minimum monitoring. 28 / 44 04/2017

29 CVIPC 2000 M G The monitoring (current or 2nd transducer) of the torque reached at end of cycle is higher than the programmed maximum monitoring. The report of a spindle is stated as NOK because the spindle has been coupled with another spindle, the report of which is NOK. Third letter F The cycle has been stopped by an error on the servodrive board : temperature fault, differential fault or maximum current reached. D The cycle has been stopped by a programming fault. For example: The programmed torque is higher than the capacity of the spindle connected. S The cycle has been stopped by a communication failure between the MULTICVI master and a slave. W The monitoring (2nd transducer) of the angle reached at end of cycle is not within the programmed tolerances. S The cycle has been prematurely stopped by a drop of the Run signal. If it occurs little time before the normal end of the cycle, the torque and angle values may be within the programmed tolerances but the report is rejected. i The cycle has been stopped because the current has reached x% of the maximum threshold programmed in the tool. Check that the power (x%) programmed in the cycle is sufficient. This overconsumption can also be the result of a shortcircuit, of a cable problem, resolver trouble or loss of adjustment of the resolver, etc. t The cycle has been stopped after the maximum time programmed for running the last phase of the tightening cycle. which means that the target conditions have not been met. e The cycle has been stopped by enabling the External Stop signal (if this option has been programmed in the relevant phase). o The cycle has stopped on a synchro waiting phase. - The spindle has not completed the cycle Detailed binary report codes in 32 bits (0 or 1) Bit number Report 1 (LSB) Min. torque 2 Max. torque 3 Min. angle 4 Max. angle 5 Min. torque rate 6 Max. torque rate 7 Min. time 8 Max. time 9 Min. monitoring torque 10 Max. monitoring torque 11 Coherence fault Transducer 1 / Transducer 2 12 Angle monitoring fault (for CVI range) Torque error (for the CVIC range) 13 Excess current 14 Differential fault 15 Thermal fault 16 Board fault 17 SPI link fault 18 Programming fault 19 Fault on coupled spindles 20 Slave fault (MULTICVI) 21 Cycle stop by SCY or ES 22 Stop by Imax 23 Stop by time fault 24 External stop 25 Synchronisation fault 26 Cycle not completed 27 Not used 28 Total angle fault 29 Not used 30 Not used 31 Not used 32 (MSB) Main fault 04/ / 44

The spindle performs a rotation and the following test results are displayed: First test: Automatic zero correction (AZC) The purpose is to correct the zero drift of a torque transducer. When no stress is applied to the torque transducer, the transducer zero (VAZC) is measured and this value will be subtracted from the next torque reading. If the compensation voltage (VAZC) exceeds 300 mv, there is an "AZC error" and the cycle cannot start. The spindle has to be changed. This test is performed at each cycle start or at each Reset command and more particularly for the autotest. Click on "Font" to configure the font in this screen. If there is a cutoff when this screen is displayed, some tightening results may not be saved. It is therefore highly recommended to exit the program before switching off the computer. As soon as this screen is displayed, a VAZC measurement is taken and compared with the former value. Validate to save this reading as a reference value. The torque transducers of the Desoutter range may have a zero value of approximately 50μV/V, which corresponds to a voltage of 100 mv at the amplifier output (with a mains voltage of 10 V and an amplifier gain of 200). 40 / 44 04/2017

A reference voltage is sent to the torque transducer. The measurement is compared to the last saved measurement (reference value) and displayed on the Measurement line. A deviation lower than ± 0.5% is the sign of a correct setting. If the setting is not correct, the cycle start is not validated and it will be necessary to correct the sensitivity again, then to go back to this screen to save the new reference value Cycle This menu is used to test the performance of a programmed cycle as it would be run in the Control menu. The only difference lies in the PLC Inputs/Outputs which are not used and in the tightening results which are not saved. When the tool is a hand-held electric nutrunner, press the trigger to start the cycle. To run reverse, press the run reverse button (the LEDs of the nutrunner blink) and press the trigger. When the tool is a fixed torque motor, click on the Cycle button to start the cycle to be tested and on the Run Reverse button to run reverse. This screen is used to calculate the correction coefficient to be applied to the sensitivity of the torque transducer: start a cycle and simultaneously measure the torque applied with a dynamic transducer and a measuring instrument SIGMA or DELTA. Then this standard torque value is keyed in as explained below. 1st method As the screen is displayed, the last 5 tightening results of the selected cycle are displayed. In the right-hand column, enter the 5 standard values read with the SIGMA or DELTA. The coefficient is automatically calculated and saved. 2nd methode Start the selected cycle manually. At the end of the cycle, the result displayed is replaced by the result of the cycle run. In the right-hand column, enter the standard value read by the SIGMA or DELTA. Repeat the operation 5 times. The coefficient is automatically calculated and saved. If the coefficient of correction is outside the range, it means that the spindle is defective and must be changed. Option: the coefficient of sensitivity can be calculated for each cycle (refer to controller manual: Maintenance section). For the CVIC, this tab is replaced by the Tuning of the torque/current coefficient. 04/ / 44
