WARNING
Excessive Torque Condition
To Avoid Injury:
⇒ Only trained and qualified personnel should program controllers.
⇒ Never set control limits above the maximum rating of the tool.
⇒ Higher torque settings will result in higher tool reaction torques. Proper care should be taken to protect
operator from resultant torque reaction forces.
⇒ Always test for proper tool operation after programming the controller.
The following provides a guide for programming the SC controller.
The SC controllers can be configured in two ways
● Using the embedded software called Alpha Toolbox.
● Using the touch screen display on the controller
"See Chapter Alpha toolbox ethernet connector [} 22]" to learn how to connect controller to a computer.
The controller has three main menus to display information and enable configuration:
1. Setup
2. Service
3. Analyze

Use to perform tool strategy programming such as torque and speed parameters.
Use to program Ethernet, wireless (Wifi), serial port, fieldbus and network protocol
options
Use to program discrete outputs, discrete inputs, Modbus outputs, Modbus inputs,
Ethernet/IP outputs and Ethernet/IP inputs.
Use to program the fieldbus such as Ethernet/ IP, Profibus, ProfiNet and DeviceNet.
Use to program PLC.
Use to add or delete users, provide administrative permissions for the users and to
provide access for setup, tool, diagnostic, statics and communications.
Use to set parameters for all other features, including general functions, triggers, lights,
tones, tool, statistics and regional.
