Power Entry Module The Power Entry Module (PEM) performs power management and electrical safety functions. There are several components to the Power Entry Module. These include a power cord receptacle, a power switch, a fuse holder and a power selector. The current setting for the power selector shows through a window just above the power switch.
Page 8
To change the voltage selection: Make certain that the power cord is disconnected from the receptacle on the unit. Set the unit on a flat work surface. The voltage selector is attached to the plastic cover that has the window through which the current voltage selection is displayed.
Page 9
The voltage selector fits in a slide in the middle of the holder. To remove the voltage selector from the holder, simply slide it out of the channel in which it fits. When the voltage selector has been removed, tilt it so it is oriented as shown in the image to right.

RS-232 Nine-Pin DSUB Connection This connector is used to communicate with an external computer. There is software available that permits programming the TCV-Ethernet via serial communications through this port. A null-Modem cable (or convertor and standard cable) is required to connect this port to another device.
Front Panel Operation and Programming The front panel provides immediate access to current TCV-side and wrench communications status and access to programming TCV functions and Ethernet communications. Status checks and programming communica- tions and functions are performed through the front panel display and buttons. The two-line liquid crystal display provides information to the programmer on current status, current menu options, and the options selected.

The fifth screen displays a relative signal strength for the radio signal coming from the switch wrench. The sixth operating screen displays the current IP address programmed into the TCV-Ethernet interface. The seventh operating screen displays the Client IP Address of the computer that is communicating with this unit.

To change the specification use the Up and Down but- tons. Press the Up button to increase the time in 0.01 second increments. Press the Down button to decrease the time in 0.01 second decrements. The Left and Right buttons will change the time up and down by 0.10 second increments and decrements.
Page 16
Programming the Count Direction The unit can be programmed to count acceptable cycles in a batch in either the upwards (from 0 to total number in batch) or downwards (total number in batch to 0) direction. The Count Direction menu item is selectable for change by pressing the Enter button when the Count Direction window is active.
Page 17
The current value for the specification will be displayed when the item is open. The Up and Down buttons increase or decrease the setting value by one second. The Left and Right buttons increase and decrease the setting by 100 seconds with each press of the button. When the desired value is displayed, press the Enter button to set the value and return to the programming menu.

To have the TCV-Ethernet “learn” the new wrench or one with a new transceiver, press the Enter button when the TCV Add Wrench item is active. The display will then offer the option of adding the wrench to the limited set of those it recognizes or not.
Page 19
Programming - Erasing a Wrench The current wrench (transceiver) can be removed from memory through this function. To access this function, press the Enter button when the TCV Erase item is displayed. The display will change, providing a choice of erasing the identification number from memory or leaving the current wrench transceiver active.
Page 20
Programming Unit IP Address The TCV-Ethernet acts as a server. For a server client (remote computer) to communicate with the unit, the client must have the internet protocol (IP) address of the unit. To set the local IP address for the unit, press the Enter button when this menu item is displayed.
Page 21
Programming Port Number Different Ethernet services can be represented by dirrerent port numbers. The TCV-Ethernet acts as a servier and will listen on the programmed port number for an external device to make a connection. A connec- tion will not be established unless the messages are sent over the programmed port number.
Page 22
The current Message Timeout value in seconds will then be displayed. To increment or decrement the val- ues by 1 press the Up or Down buttons. The Left and Right buttons increment and decrement the value by 10 seconds. To save the Message Timeout value after a change, press the Enter button.

Enter button. To exit the process at any time without saving any changes press the Escape button. Programming Time and Date The TCV-Ethernet has an internal clock that keeps track of the time and date. This clock will continue to operate even if the unit is turned off.

Enter button. To exit this function without change, press the Escape button. Programming a Password Change All TCV-Ethernet units ship with a default password of “0104”. This password may be changed through this menu item. To access this item, press the Enter button when the item is active.

If the serial print function is to be used, the baud rate that the printer can use must be known and must be one compatible with the TCV-Ethernet unit. The printer must be able to use the 8- bit, No-parity, 1-stop bit format used by the unit.

The TCV Ethernet eases the tasks associated with this by allowing the use of a bar code reader. A serial bar code reader can be connected to the TCV-Ethernet unit to ease data input tasks for programming, as well.

The asterisk (*) items are related. The TCV controls the use of the preset SLTC-FM Switch Wrench via the amount of time it spends in the “clicked” position. The AC Open Protocol does not have parameters for this, so it cannot be bar coded into the system. The SLTC-FM Switch Wrench does not have angle.

The TCV-Ethernet unit can “learn” which tool it is to work with through either of two ways. The tool can be learned through a programming function as previously addressed, but there is a faster and simpler way in which to create the association between the unit and the tool.
Ethernet Functions The TCV-Ethernet acts as a server. It waits for a client to make a connection with it. It can only accept one connection at a time. The TCP/IP messages that are used by this unit adhere to the PowerFocus Open Protocol Version 3.0.
