1.1 Safe Work Practices Symbol
!
The signal word "Warning" identifies all notes on safe work practices in this operating instruction, alerting to hazards for life and health of people. Observe these notes and pro­ceed with special care in the cases described. Pass all safety instructions on to other operators. In addition to the safety instructions in this operating instruction, the general local safety and accident prevention rules must be observed.
CAUTION!
The signal word "Caution!" identifies all portions of this operating instruction meriting special attention to ensure that guidelines, rules, hints and the correct work procedures are observed; and, to prevent damage to and destruction of the machine and/or parts.
1.2 Checking Your Unit
Take the time to ensure you have the required peripheral equipment and cables necessary to setup and run your unit. If you do not have all the necessary items, contact your distributor.
Refer to "Attachment A.1" on page12 for illustration of your unit.
1.3 Software
Your unit has been pre-loaded with software and requires no additional software to begin your fastening process. If you are interfacing your unit with an external computer, interfacing software is required. Contact your distributor for the interfacing software.
1.4 Installing Unit
1.4.1 General
!
It is mandatory that national, state and local safety and wiring standards be followed dur­ing installation. These standards would take precedence over any information presented in this section.
To avoid the hazard of electrical shock or burn, the following instructions must be adhered to. Failure to follow these instructions may also cause damage to your unit and void existing warranties.
• Do not energize the unit until all connections have been properly made.
• Equipment must be properly grounded before applying power. Units energized by cord
and plug must be connected to an approved and properly grounded receptacle.
• All units must be energized by an isolated line.
• The unit door must always be closed and secured prior to energizing the unit.
• Ensure the power switch is in the "off" position prior to connecting the power cord.
CAUTION!
Though it is not mandatory, the following instructions are highly recommended for the protected operation of your unit.
• Use an isolation transformer and surge arrestor on the incoming isolated line.
• Use oversized feeder lines to reduce electrical noise and voltage drop.

1.4.2 Mounting
Each unit is used primarily as a single tool process/controller/monitor installed in a work station or work area. It may be wall mounted, table mounted, beam mounted, suspended overhead, pedestal mounted or used without mounting. Always choose a stable location to avoid the possi
­bility of unit damage and/or operator injury through hitting, falling, vibration or inconvenient mounting. All cables attached to the unit should be located and secured in a manner to avoid potential operator and passer-by injury. As with all electrical equipment, the unit will produce some heat and should be located so that ambient air can freely circulate around the box.
Refer to Illustration Q of the parts manual, PL12-1400 for mounting hole dimensions.
1.4.3 Location Considerations
Your unit should be located to allow access to the front panel and connectors. The unit should be installed for unrestricted and comfortable viewing of the LCD & LED's by the operator. The LCD menu screen, key pad and side door connectors must be readily accessible for the setup. Dependent on the peripheral equipment purchased, the unit may be located in a remote position but should still be accessible.
Attachment of accessories and tools should also be considered with the installation locations. Items to be considered are:
Location of printer (10 ft. cable maximum for the parallel interface).
• Attachment of a data collection unit, if desired.
• Attachment of redundant master transducers (less than 50 ft. is desirable).
• Attachment of remote annunciators, socket nest, or remote parameter select.
• Attachment of the unit in a network to a computer.
• Operation convenience/safety - keep cables off the floor or dangling in operator areas.
1.4.4 Source Power
Your unit, which is used as the process control and power supply for the Cleco DC electric tools, requires a power line with 10 amp capacity at 220-240 Volts AC (50/60 Hz) for the TME-XXX-30. The TME-XXX-15 requires a power line with 15 amp capacity at 110-130 Volts AC (50/60 Hz).
1.4.5 Intended Use
The Electric Tool Control TME Series must be operated only if the following conditions are met:
• Industrial environment, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) class A
• Use only the cable types approved by Cooper Power To ol s .
• Use only accessory parts approved by Cooper Power Tools.
• Unauthorized remodeling, repairs, and modifications are forbidden for safety and product lia-
bility reasons.

1.4.6 EMC Measures
The filters required to meet the EMC regulations are integrated.
• The closed control cabinet and the shielded cables result in very low noise radiation and high
immunity to interference.
• The following relevant EMC regulations are met:
-EN 61000-6-4: 08-2002
-EN 61000-6-2: 08-2002
-EN 61000-3-2: 2000
-EN 61000-3-3: 1995
This is a class A device. In domestic areas, this device can cause radio interference. If
that is the case, the company operating it, can be obliged to introduce EMC measures and cover the cost incurred.
• Operation without closed control cabinet is forbidden.
The properties of the shielding would be altered and the noise emission increase.
1.5 Connecting Unit
1.5.1 General
Connect all equipment to the correct input and output connectors. Refer to "Attachment A.1" on page12 for proper port locations.
!
To avoid the hazard of electrical shock or burn the following instructions must be adhered to. Failure to follow these instructions may also cause damage to your unit and void exist­ing warranties.
• Ensure the power switch is in the "off" position and that the box cover is properly
secured prior to connecting power cord.
• Ensure equipment has been properly grounded before applying power.

The following is a detailed description of each Fastening Sequence:
Sequence 11 High Speed Rundown
This tightening method is generally used as a fast pre-tightening stage. The torque transducer integrated into the nutrunner measures the torque during the tightening. The value is processed by the control system. When the defined Turnoff Torque is reached the nutrunner is shut off. Thereafter the peak torque is measured during a dwell time and is then processed as the tighten
­ing torque of the bolt in the control system. This value is displayed on the Run Screen and can be output to a printer or transmitted to other system components by data communication. When the trigger torque is reached the torque curve is recorded and can be viewed and evaluated using the oscilloscope function.
Sequence 30 Torque Control with Torque and Angle Monitoring
This tightening stage is normally preceded by a fast pre-tightening stage. The transducer inte­grated into the nutrunner measures the torque and the resolver measures the angle during the tightening. The values are processed by the control system. When the threshold torque is reached the angle count starts. When the Turnoff Torque is reached the nutrunner is shut off. Thereafter the peak torque is measured during a dwell time and is then processed as the tighten
­ing torque of the bolt together with the evaluation of the rundown in the control system. This value is displayed on the Run Screen and can be output to a printer or transmitted to other sys
­tem components by data communication. When the trigger torque is reached the torque curve is recorded and can be viewed and evaluated using the oscilloscope function.
Sequence 50 Angle Controlled Tightening with Angle and Torque Monitoring
This tightening sequence is generally preceded by a fast pre-tightening cycle. The transducer integrated into the nutrunner measures the torque and the resolver measures the angle during the rundown. The values are processed by the control system. When the Turnoff angle is reached the nutrunner is shut off. Thereafter the final angle and the peak torque are measured during a dwell time, and these tightening values for the bolt are then processed together with the evaluation of the rundown in the control system. These values are displayed on the Run Screen and can be output to a printer or transmitted to other system components by data communica
­tion. When the trigger torque is reached the torque curve is recorded and can be viewed and evaluated using the oscilloscope function.
Sequence 41 Angle Controlled Back-off with Angle Monitoring
This fastening sequence is generally used to loosen a bolt a specified number of degrees. The resolver integrated into the nutrunner measures the angle during the untightening. The value is processed by the control system. When the Turnoff angle is reached the nutrunner is shut off. Thereafter the final angle is measured during a dwell time and is then processed as the back-off angle of the bolt together with the evaluation of the untightening in the control system. This value is displayed on the Run Screen and can be output to a printer or transmitted to other system components by data communication. In this stage the oscilloscope function is not supported.
Sequence 41 or Sequence 46 Backoff using Reverse switch/Relax
The Backoff stage is automatically set to Sequence 46 for a tubenut tool and Sequence 41 for all others. The automatic selection of a tube nut tool depends on a 'T' in the tool model number. That means, if a 'T' appears in the model number a tube nut tool is expected. This fastening sequence is selected when the tool is run in the reverse or untighten direction. It is also used to return a

tubenut tool to the home position on every other trigger pull. The resolver integrated into the nutrunner measures the angle during the untightening. The value is processed by the control system. When the Turnoff angle is reached the nutrunner is shut off. For a tubenut tool, the Turn
­off angle is programmed so that the attachment will always turn far enough to reach the home position and stop based on the torque reaction against the pawl.

Node Address Defines the address of the TME controller. DeviceNet (1-63),
Profibus (2-125), Ethernet/IP uses the controller IP address configured in Communications / Data Transmission.
Baud Rate Defines the rate at which information is sent/received from the
TME controller. For DeviceNet three choices are available: 500KBits, 250 KBits, or 125 KBits. The rate should be set to match the fieldbus system available. For Profibus and Ether
­net/IP, this option is not available. The Baud Rate is automati­cally set to the master settings.
Part ID A checked box enables the Part ID function.
Disable on disconnect A checked box that disables further rundowns and displays a
"Check Cable" Message on Run Screen as long as the field
-
bus doesn't work.
Format Determines how the 32-bit Part ID is converted into readable
characters. When "Decimal" is selected, the resulting Part ID is 10 characters in length. When "Hexadecimal" is selected, the resulting Part ID is 8 characters in length.
Tool 2 Control A checked box enables an alternate format for word 1 byte 0 of
the fieldbus outputs that replaces the standard Torque/Angle results outputs with Cycle OK, Cycle NOK, and "yellow light" outputs that originate from tool 2.

3.4.5 Advanced / Linking
c00315en.bmp
Fig. 3-17: Linking
linking.txtS
Linking allows the user to automatically change from application to application for a predefined number of positions (up to 96). Each application is run when the start switch on the tool is acti
­vated in the order specified by its position. Upon completion of the cycle, the application will then automatically change to the next position. Up to eight different linking strategies called Tightening Groups can be programmed and are remotely selectable from the Application Inputs (0-2). This feature can also be used for Batch Counting by entering the same application in the desired number of positions.
To setup a linking strategy, a Tightening Group 1-8 should be selected and given a name. This will designate which linking strategy is being used. The user can also program if the linking strat
­egy should reset to position 1 after an NOK or set the number of times a fastener can be retight­ened after an NOK before advancing to the next position.
To configure linking, an Application 1-255 must be associated with a position in the linking strat­egy. To do this, the user must enter App (1-255), and can also provide a Fastener ID and Position Name. Pressing Add <F1> will place the selected application in the user-specified position of the linking strategy. Pressing Delete <F2> will remove the user-specified position from the linking strategy. Once Linking is enabled, the controller will automatically run from position 1 to the last programmed position. Note that the tool start switch or remote start input will have to be toggled between positions. The Tightening Group and Position will also be displayed on the Run Screen.
The following inputs and outputs will also be active when Linking is enabled: Linking OK, Linking NOK, Linking Complete, and Reset Linking. Please refer to the Inputs and Outputs section for more information on these signals.

Station Name (10 characters - alphanumeric)
Station Number (10 characters - alphanumeric)
Work Cell Name (25 characters - alphanumeric)
Work Cell Number (3 characters - alphanumeric)
File Name Prefix (15 characters - alphanumeric)
This string is appended to the front of default file names so that multiple controller files can be saved to the same disk media.
Same for both tools (2-Channel only) When this box is checked, the most
recently entered Station Name and Station Number are auto
­matically synchronized and used for both tools. When not checked, the Station Name and Station Number may be pro

grammed differently for each tool.
The use of this check box also affects the serial communica­tion protocols Standard, Standard2, and 3964R. If "Same for both tools" is not checked, then the 2-digit ASCII tool number transmitted is taken from the Station Number field. If "Same for both tools" is checked, then the 2-digit ASCII tool number transmitted is hard-coded to be "01" or "02" depending on which tool the results data is from.

Torque Units Allows the user to select which units the controller uses for
presenting torque. Available choices: Nm, FtLbs, InLbs, KgCm, KgM and dNm. When the units are changed, all new torque values are immediately changed to the new units and all rundown data is cleared.
Tool Sync/Disable Linking Allows the user to enable Tool Synchronization and disable
the linking function.
NOK if Start Switch Release
Causes NOK status after any rundown with Early Trigger Release (ETR). ETR is any case in which the rundown did not end progamatically, i.e. if the tool did not reach Turn Off or High Limit torque or angle, or reach Max Fastening time. In this case an NOK result is generated and the yellow LEDs on the TME and tool will be illuminated.
Archive only if Torque > Trigger
Allows the user to specify that only rundown cycles where the torque is greater than the trigger torque of the last tight
-
ening stage will be saved in Chrono History.
External Application Select Allows the user to enable the requirement for an external sig-
nal into the inputs Appl. Select 0-7 (Appl. Select 0-2 with a socket tray) for selecting the application. In the absence of a signal, the TME controller defaults to application
1.
External Tool Enable Allows the user to enable the requirement for an external sig-
nal Input before the rundown cycle can begin.
Latched Remote Start Allows the user to enable the requirement for an external
pulse signal input to start the rundown cycle. If unchecked the remote start signal must be maintained for the tool to continue running.
Blinking Lights in Reverse (TME only) Allows the user to select the option of blinking
lights on TME controller and tool when the tool is in reverse. If the box is unchecked, there is no visible indication that the tool is in reverse.

From the Run Screen the user sees rundown data as it occurs. The Torque and Angle readings are displayed with a background color corresponding to the status of each.
The background is red if the value is too high, yellow if it is too low, and green if it is within limits. The current tool model number, station name, and indicator labels are also displayed. The desired Application (1-255), Tightening Group (1-8, if enabled), and Part ID (if enabled) are selectable using the keypad.
When enabled, the Part ID and Part ID Status boxes are displayed below the Tool and Applica­tion. When allowed, the Part ID edit box may be used to manually enter a Part ID using the key­pad or an attached keyboard. NOTE: when manually entering a Part ID, the <ENTER> key must be pressed to validate the entry. During manual entry, the <ESC> key may be pressed to return to the previous Part ID and state of validity.
The Part ID Status box contains three indicators:
1. Valid: Indicates whether or not the part ID is valid, and when not valid, whether or not the tool is enabled:
- “Part ID Valid” (green LED): Part ID is valid. The tool is always enabled.
- “Part ID Invalid; Tool Disabled” (red LED): When configured in INTERLOCK mode, an invalid Part ID causes the tool to be disabled. A new, valid Part ID must be entered to enable the tool.
- “Part ID Invalid; Tool Enabled” (yellow LED): When configured without INTERLOCK mode, the tool may be run without entering a valid Part ID.

3. Input status: Indicates whether or not a new Part ID can be entered.
- “Accepting Part ID input” (green LED): A new Part ID may be entered.
- “Not Accepting Part ID input” (red LED): A new Part ID may not be entered.
- A new Part ID may not be entered when the tool trigger is active.
- “NEW INPUT IGNORED!” (red LED): This status is displayed if a new Part ID is entered while “Not Accepting Part ID input” is true.
Below the Torque and Angle display is the “Status” window. This window displays various mes­sages related to the tool, rundown status, or errors.
The <F1> “Print” soft key causes any rundown data that has not previously been printed to be sent to the parallel port printer interface. If the Part ID is configured to “Print Interlock”, the Part ID is invalidated, and the tool is disabled.
The <F2> “Oscilloscope” soft key displays the Oscilloscope function for evaluating Torque and Angle curves. It is automatically updated after each cycle.
The Run Screen may be optionally configured to display Rundown Details or Counter information as shown. These options are available by pressing the Configure <F3> soft key. See "Run Screen / Configure". Counter information is available for individual applications and tightening groups (linking). See "Administration / Counter".

c00301en.bmp
Fig. 3-44: Tool / Angle Encoder
testangl.txtS
The tool start switch starts the spindle with a speed of 30% of the maximum. After one revolution of the output shaft (set angle 360 deg), measured with the tool resolver, it is stopped. During a permanently adjusted dwell time of 200 ms any further angle pulses occurring are traced. The total result is shown as "Actual Angle". The "Shut-off Torque" displayed is the torque prevailing at shut-off or the maximum value reached during the dwell time if that value is higher than the torque at shut-off.
If the test run is not terminated by a monitoring criterion, the total result equals or is higher than 360 degrees and is evaluated as okay ("OK"). Monitoring criteria are the torque of transducer 1 and a monitoring time. If the torque of transducer 1 exceeds 15% of its calibration value (even during the dwell time), or if the monitoring time of 5 seconds is elapsed, the test run is terminated with "NOK".
The user must check himself, if the output shaft has actually turned by the value indicated (e. g. put mark on the spindle). If the angle reached by the output shaft does not agree with the value displayed, either the angle factor is or the resolver is defective.

4.1 Understanding Statistics
Your unit provides a wide array of statistical and data reports (charts) for the control of manufac­turing processes. The following provides a description of the control chart for variables and an outline of the procedure for its use. Known as the
-R chart (pronounced X-bar-R), the chart for variables can be used whenever a quality characteristic can be measured and expressed by a numerical value. When properly used, it can bring substantial improvement in product quality and a reduction of scrap and rework.
When we control a process, we monitor the variation of the characteristics that are important to the product. During production, samples from the process are measured. By plotting the results of these measurements on the control chart, we are able to see if the process is operating in a stable manner (in a state of statistical control), or if the pattern has been disturbed by an event that drives the process out of control. In other words, the control chart tells us what the process is doing - when to take action and when to leave it alone.
Although it is a powerful tool, the -R Control Chart is easy to use. Only an understanding of a few basic statistical concepts and the use of simple arithmetic is needed.
4.1.1 The Nature of Variation
Variations in measured product are always present because of random fluctuations and inconsis­tencies in machines, material, and operator performance. No two items produced are exactly alike.
When variation is random and stable, the process is in a state of statistical control (see graph 4-1a). The process has an identity, and its performance is predictable. The stable pattern of vari­ation is caused by conditions that are inherent to the manufacturing system, such as spindle run out, bearing clearances, differences in material properties, accuracy of measuring equipment, and operator performance. We call this "common cause" variation.
When variation is sporadic and unstable, the process is out of statistical control (see graph 4-1b). The process loses its identity and is no longer predictable. The unstable pattern is caused by such events as tool breakage, tool wear, bad material, and operator error. This is called "spe
-
cial cause" variation.

4.1.2 The Normal Curve
Most processes in statistical control have a fixed pattern of variation. The mathematical curve that describes this pattern is known as the normal curve (see graph 4-2a). The normal curve is symmetrical about the average. It is high in the middle and becomes smaller as the distance from the average increases. Since the shape resembles a bell, it is sometimes referred to as a bell curve.
The normal curve is defined by two conditions - the average of all items produced, and the amount of variation from the average. We can think of these as the center and width of the bell, respectively. The center is the arithmetic average of all items produced. The width is expressed in terms of the standard deviation which is a statistical calculation for the amount of variation from the average. The standard deviation, represented by the Greek letter sigma (σ), holds a fixed relationship to the normal curve, as follows (see graph 4-2b):
68% of all items produced will be within +1σ of the average (two sigma spread).
95% will be within +2σ of the average (four sigma spread).
• 99.7% will be within +3σ of the average (six sigma spread).
These two characteristics - the average and the standard deviation - provide the foundation for statistical process control. By taking sample measurements during production, we can predict the average value and the amount of variation for all items produced.

4.1.3 The Procedure
The procedure for establishing a statistical process control program consists of three phases. The first is to obtain statistical control - a state of random and stable variation. The second is to establish process capability. A state of statistical control in itself does not assure that the process is capable of meeting the specification. The limits of variation must be equal to or less than the total specification tolerance. The third is to monitor the process throughout production using the control chart, to detect and correct conditions that upset the stable pattern of variation.
Use of the -R Control Chart includes the following steps:
1. Select the Characteristic
Since a separate chart is required for each characteristic, practical considerations limit use to selected requirements. A good candidate is a characteristic that is important to the function of the item. Others include those that are causing a high cost loss because of scrap or rework, and those that require evaluation by destructive testing.

2. Designate the Sample Size
It is usually desirable to keep the sample size small so that variation within the sample is at a minimum, but not so small that statistical validity is lost. The control chart described in this docu
­ment is structured for a sample size of five units. If a sample other than five is selected, the man­ufacturing or quality engineer can provide alternate factors for use in calculating the control limits and standard deviation (Steps 8 and 10).
3. Designate the Sample Frequency
Selection of the sample frequency should be based on economic considerations for the cost of measurements and the potential loss that may occur if samples are not taken often enough. Early in the production run, samples should be taken more frequently and then extended after satisfactory control is verified. The frequency may be expressed as a time interval or as a portion of quantities produced.
4. Assure Measurement Accuracy
Measurement accuracy is mandatory for successful statistical control. Measuring and test equip­ment must be of a type suitable for the characteristic being evaluated, and must be calibrated and properly used. Decisions resulting from the analysis of a control chart will be no better than the measurement data.
5. Complete the Data Sheet Headings
It is important that all heading entries on the data sheet be completed. They include the part number and description, the operation performed, the name of the operator, the machine or equipment used, and the specification limits. The data sheet and control chart can provide evi
­dence of quality for use by the Quality Assurance organization if the information is properly recorded and traceable to the products manufactured.
6. Start Production
Take samples of five units (preferably consecutive units produced) at the designated frequency, and record each measurement (X) on the data sheet. For each sample of five calculate the aver
-
age ( ) and range (R), and plot the results on the chart (see graph 4-3).

7. Calculate Process Center Lines
After data for 20 samples of five have been plotted, calculate the center lines for both the aver­age and range plottings.
The center line for the average chart is known as the grand average ( ) and is the average of all of the sample averages. This is the value that best represents the size of all measurements:

where Σ is used to indicate the sum of the sample averages, ( ), (be careful to observe the + and - signs), and n the number of samples, in this case 20.

9. Evaluate for Statistical Control
Analyze the control chart to see if the process is in a state of statistical control. Variation should be random about the center lines for both averages and ranges, with all points within the control limits. If these conditions are not satisfied, special cause variation may be present.
