As of Nexo firmware version 1200, the VW-XML protocol is supported. VW-XML version 2.1 is supported.
Application of the VW-XML protocol outside of VOLKSWAGEN AG is subject to express written agree-
ment of VOLKSWAGEN AG.
The VW-XML protocol is the implementation of the VW corporate requirement specifications "Controlled
tightening systems", chapter 4 "Communication with superior units", for the Nexo cordless Wi-Fi nutrun-
ner. This documentation only documents the settings for the Nexo cordless Wi-Fi nutrunner regarding the
VW-XML data protocol
ment specifications mentioned above.
The settings for the protocol are made via the NEXO-OS operating system in the
Settings Data VW-XML menu, see section
Communication between the Nexo cordless Wi-Fi nutrunner and the superordinate computer (master
PC) can be realized via VW-XML protocol. During communication, the superordinate computer acts as
master and the Nexo cordless Wi-Fi nutrunner acts as slave.
The VW-XML protocol is a communication protocol based on standard Ethernet TCP/IP.
The VW-XML protocol uses the OK/NOK counters of the Nexo cordless Wi-Fi nutrunner. For setting the
OK/NOK counter via menu Settings OK/NOK counter, the following has to be observed:

(see page
Under Select PLC signals, activate Prg0... Prg7.
Make the following settings under Counter records:
a. Under OK counting direction and NOK counting direction, the counting direction is increasing
(1,2,..,n).
The potential value for NOK tightening defined by the VW-XML master PC (tag <MNO>) is in-
creased by 1 as one more tightening process is to be allowed after the last NOK tightening as
defined in the VW corporate requirement specifications.
b. Enable the Disable when reaching the number of OK/NOK check box for nutrunner and
Prg99. If the OK or NOK counter is reached, the nutrunner and Prg99 are disabled.
After the first tightening process, the Nexo cordless Wi-Fi nutrunner is neither disabled in case of
OK nor NOK result.
Except for the Cw and Ccw signals, all control signals have to be applied under Inputs to the vwXml
module according to the designation highlighted in gray. The Cw and Ccw signals are applied on the
tool PLC module.
All control signals have to be applied under Outputs to the vwXml module according to the desig-
