Preface

The GSE tech-motive tool CS4000 Mini Controller with Ethernet typically is used with tech-motive tool Intelligent nutrunners in a multi-spindle fastening system that communicates with other operations in an assembly process over an Ethernet network. When used in this context, the controller contains an Ethernet interface card and the RJ-45 connector that is used to link it to a host computer (that contains an Ethernet network card). The Ethernet interface card in each device enables communication via the network hub.

The CS4000 Mini Controller with Ethernet can optionally communicate over a 485 network. For this application, it has an RS-485 connector and is linked to a host computer that contains a Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) card.

In either scenario, the host computer is loaded with the tech-motive tool Visual Supervisor (VS) setup, graphing and diagnostics program. Version 3.20 is used to program the parameters of each tech-motivespindle (controller and nutrunner) in the network, remains on the host computer, and is thus said to operate in permanent mode.

When operating a nutrunner off-network (in a single spindle, stand-alone system), the controller is programmed using VS from a laptop PC, which is linked via cable to the RS-232 serial port on the controller. Because the laptop can be disconnected from one CS4000 Mini Controller and reconnected to another, VS is said to operate in portable mode.

An optional Interbus-S module can be added to the CS4000 Mini Controller with Ethernet, typically to connect the controller to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The module adds eight soft- programmable digital inputs and eight soft-programmable digital outputs to the system.

Who Should Use This Manual

This manual is written for the engineers, technicians and users who will set-up and/or operate the CS4000 Mini Controller with Ethernet with any of the Intelligent (46, 66 or 116) nutrunners.
