Quick Start Guide This quick start will guide you through the process of configuring the unit for first time use. Plug the provided power cable into the unit and 100-240 VAC power and turn on the power switch. The LEDs illuminate and the beeper sounds a series of quick beeps.
TAC Torque/Angle Control 2.4 GHz Preset Wireless Click Wrench (TAC) The TCV e2 can associate with up to 10 Sturtevant Richmont radio torque tools across two interfaces. To use a tool with the TCV e2, you must first “learn” the tool to the qualifier. The process to do this is described in the Quick Start section.
Each interface has its own tightening log and can be controlled separately by a plant control system. Tools - The TCVe2 can associate with up to 10 Sturtevant Richmont radio torque tools. Tools are assigned to a single interface, which may be changed at any time.

10. Interface 1 Torque/Angle Status OK – Illuminates green when accepted. 11. Interface 1 Torque Status NOK – Illuminates red when rejected. 12. Interface 1 Angle Status NOK – Illuminates red when rejected. 13. Tool Status Indicator – This decimal point indicates the tool has not communicated with the controller or the radio signal strength is below the recommended minimum level for use.
Configuring The Unit The top level screens are: • Tool Info Group • Status Info Group • Network Connection Info Group • IP Info Group Pressing or cycles through the groups. Pressing or cycles through the items within that group. Tool Info Group The Tool Info Group provides all details about the tools learned into the TCV e2.
Lock on batch Default: no This setting determines if the unit will lock or restart the parameter when a batch is completed. When set to yes, the qualifier will stop when a batch is completed and transition to a no active parameter state.
Range: 0 to tool capacity Available Modes: all This setting controls the minimum required torque for a valid tightening. This value must be less than Max Torque. Target Torque Default: 10% of tool capacity Range: Min Trq to Max Trq Available Modes: all This setting controls the target torque for the tool.

This setting controls the minimum amount of time after an accepted tightening before another tightening should be accepted. Any additional tightenings performed within this time after an accepted tightening will be automatically considered a reject. TBB (Time between batches) Default: 0 Range: 0 to 9999 seconds This setting controls the minimum amount of time after a batch completion before another tightening should be accepted.
Status Info Group Pressing cycles through these screens: • VIN 1= – This screen will display the VIN associated to Interface 1. • VIN 2= – This screen will display the VIN associated to Interface 2. • Last Tightening – This screen will display the last torque event logged. Network Connection Info Group If no connections are active there will only be one sub-screen: No active connections...

Reset Defaults Default: All Range: All, Configuration, Jobs, Tools, Events, The Reset Defaults screen allows you to restore the unit to the factory defaults. You may select some or all parts of the configuration to reset. TCV e2 User Manual 13 of 36 P/N 857414 Rev A 07/01/2020...
Open Protocol This chapter describes the support for the Open Protocol in the TCV e2. Command MIDs and revisions referred to in this document are from the Open Protocol Specification Release 1.3 Revision 1. The setup menu for ACOP is located under the IP Info Group programming menu. Port Number Range: 0 to 65535 Default: 04545...
Page 15
OP Cmd Enable Default: Yes This setting determines if the unit will respond to “Open Protocol control” commands. These commands are generally the ones that control unit operation or modify configuration. When this setting is set to yes, all supported commands listed below are handled. When set to no, the following MID commands will return an error: •...
ToolsNet This chapter describes the support for the ToolsNet Open Protocol in the TCV e2. Implementation of the protocol is according to ToolsNet Open Protocol version 3.5. The TCV e2 reports System Type as 29 and System Name as “TCV e2”. The setup menu for ToolsNet is located under the IP Info Group programming menu.
Page 17
Keep Alive Default: 30 Range: 0 to 3600 seconds This setting controls how often the qualifier will send a keep alive packet to the ToolsNet server if no other packets are being sent. When set to 0, the qualifier does not send keep alive packets. This value is recommended to be less than half the inactivity timeout of the server to ensure the connection is not closed due to a single missed keep alive packet.
PFCS Setup The setup menu for PFCS is located under the IP Info Group programming menu. Int 1 Solicited Default: Disabled Int 1 Unsol Default: Disabled Int 1 Sol Auto Default: Yes Int 1 Sol Name Default: ---- Int 1 Single ID Default: Yes Int 1 Unsol Auto Default: Yes...

Int 2 Unsol Name Default: ---- Int 2 Sol Port Default: 16103 Int 2 Unsol Port Default: 16104 Server Address Default: 192.168.001.069 This setting controls the IP address the qualifier will use to establish a PFCS connection. ACK Timeout Range: 0 to 3600 seconds Default: 5 This setting controls how long the qualifier will wait for a response from the client.
When using the EDS file, you will see the connection point numbers in the Connection name. Each add-on instruction will provide a data structure representing the data in that assembly instance for a single interface in the qualifier. You will need to make two copies of that structure, since the TCVe2 has two interfaces.

Input Connection Points for Current Operation Status The connection points in this group provide a view of the current operation status. Name Data Type Description ARRAY of Current status for each of the 2 interfaces. Each array entry corresponds to an STRUCT of: interface.
Importing the EDS file For the first project using a TCVe2 on a given developer machine, you will need to import the EDS file into Studio 5000. Further projects on the same machine should be able to skip to Project Setup.
