TOOL TALK 2
Tool Talk 2 is developed from the ground up, to support the new multi-
controller concept delivered in the Power Focus 6000. When the old version
of ToolsTalk was a software tool to configure a single controller
– Tool Talk 2 takes controller programming to a whole new level by making it
easy to manage and program multiple controllers.
User Authentication
Tool Talk 2 supports user authentication in the application from the start.
This functionality makes sure that no one, except approved users, can make
changes to controllers and tightening programs. The second benefit of this
is that customers have full traceability of changes to tightening programs
in the application. Every change to a tightening program is logged in the
application, making it possible to see all the changes that have been made
to a program during its life cycle and also exactly which user that made the
change. If a problem occurs in production it is easy to identify the person
that made the change and by this it is possible to find the reason for the
change.
• Full change traceability of tightening programs
• Ensure that only approved users can make changes
to tightening programs
• Know which user is making changes on a controller
Plant Structure
The plant structure in ToolsTalk 2 makes it possible to organize all Power
Focus 6000 controllers into a structure that resembles the structure in the
plant. This makes it quicker and easier to administer controllers throughout
production.
• Organize controllers according to the layout in the
plant
• Quickly find controllers and tightening programs
that needs to updated
• Get an overview that everything is running as it
should
Multiple Controller Upgrade
ToolsTalk 2 leverages on the dual memory area functionality of the Power
Focus 6000, by making it possible to upgrade multiple controllers at
once just by one click. When doing an upgrade ToolsTalk 2 loads the new
controller firmware into the Power Focus 6000 controller but it does not
activate the new software until you are ready. When then time has come to
use the new software, it is possible to make the switch from ToolsTalk 2. It
also increases safety since you can switch back to the previous version of
the software just as easily if needed.
• Upgrade multiple controllers directly from the
application
• See exactly which software that is running on all
controllers in production
• Switch between software versions running on
the controller by selecting the desired preloaded
software versions.
Controller Programming
ToolsTalk 2 makes controller programming easier than ever before. All the
tightening parameters are available from a single view, creating a great
overview of the complete setup. When setting up or updating a tightening
program in ToolsTalk 2 all the changes are saved locally in the database of
the application, meaning no changes are stored on the controller initially.
This makes it possible to make all the needed changes before saving
anything to the controller. Thanks to this all the parameters can be adjusted
and verified before actually saved on the controller.
ToolsTalk 2 also saves all version of the tightening programs in its database,
making it possible to go back to a previous version of a program in case
there are any problems or concerns with an update that has been made.
• Great overview of all tightening parameters
• Possibility to setup all parameters before saving on
the controller
• Easily go back to a previous version of a program
