4.2.2 Output Descriptions
Each of the output elements has Configuration settings of Contact types, Output types, and others.
It is recommended to configure them immediately once the output elements are assigned to a pin.
Contact Type
The Contact Type can be Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.).
Sourcing Outputs (PNP type)
If Pin-15 is wired to Pin-16 to supply the outputs, and an output is asserted, the Normally Open
output pin transitions from 0VDC to 24VDC. The return from the load must be wired to Pin-1.
Sinking Outputs (NPN type)
If Pin-1 is wired to Pin-16 to supply the outputs, and an output is asserted, the Normally Open
output pin transitions from 24VDC to 0VDC. The return from the load must be wired to Pin-15.
Output Type
The Output Type defines the behavior of the output signal.
Normal – The output asserts and stays asserted until a reset condition occurs.
Minimum On Time – Keeps the output asserted for this minimum time, in seconds, even
though a reset condition occurs. After the timer is finished the output resets if a reset
condition has occurred, otherwise it remains asserted until a reset condition occurs.
Timed – The output asserts for this period of time then resets on its own without waiting for the
reset condition to occur.
Time – Units are in seconds.
Flash – The output flashes for as long as it is asserted.
Period – Sets the flashing On and Off times, which are equal. Units are in seconds
Outputs
Description
NOT USED
The pin that is assigned as OFF means the output does nothing when asserted.
This is essentially a spare output. The size of this output function is 1 bit.
IN CYCLE
This output asserts when the tool torque level, during the tightening cycle,
exceeds the Threshold Torque value. It resets when the tool is shutoff either by
reaching target, a fault, a Stop input, a Start input removed or by the operator.
The size of this output function is 1 bit.
Configuration:

TOOL
Asserts anytime the tool is energized. Resets when the tool is commanded to
RUNNING
stop.

Configuration:

CYCLE NOK
Asserts when a tightening cycle that exceeds the Threshold Torque is completed
and the achieved torque and angle are NOT within the limits of the audit step.
Resets when the tool exceeds Threshold Torque on the next tightening cycle.
The size of this output function is 1 bit.
