Welcome to part 1 of the Atlas Copco Tensor SL tutorial series.
In this video we will be showing you how to setup your Tensor SL controller out of the box
and how to network it via ethernet
with Tools Talk PF software.
Once we get our controller out of the box it's time to gather a few components that we need.
We'll need our power cable,
our SL tool cable,
our ethernet cable,
and our RBU.
First we will have to open up the back of our controller.
To do so..
Pull the tab up vertically that's on the top
while supporting the back, rotate it 180 degrees
counter clock wise, then rotate it up.
Now you can simply open up the back
and let it hang on the bracket
With the back of the controller open we can now begin to attach the cables.
I'll start with the ninety degree power adapter.
Then I'll grab the SLtool cable
You'll notice along the rim there are several metal extrusions.
Take the largest one and face it towards you.
Then gently insert it upwards
while rotating the top
until it snaps into place.
It should be firm
After that grab your ethernet cable
and make sure you plug it into the port that says ethernet.
Finally take your RBU
We have a silver RBU here.
and plug it into the port that says RBU
and then tighten it down.
Now that everything is attached
We will pull up slightly on the back of the case
and slide all of my cables into the gap.
Then close up the back
Flip down the top,
rotate it 180 degrees clockwise
and flip it back down.
You are now all set and ready to go.
Now that we have our Power Focus controller setup
let's configure the network options so that we can connect via ToolsTalk Power Focus.
We will hit the program button
Go down to Controller and hit right
Go to network and hit right
and then hit right on ethernet
Here we can edit our IP address, subnet mask and default router
Hitting right will open the field
and then hitting the CL button will clear it
We will use the IP address of
192.168.101.2
If you are on a local network you will always want to start with 192.168
The next numbers after that will become the identifiers for the specific controller
The last number itself which we have as 2 can be
anywhere from 1 to 255
Doing that will allow you to have up to 255 Power Focus controllers on the same network
and you'll be able to connect to any individual one and control it from one copy of TTPF.
We will hit OK
and I will leave my subnet mask as 255.255.255.0
the default router we can keep at 0.0.0.0
Now we will have to make some changed on our computer
I am running a copy of windows 7 on this computer
I'll go down to the start button,
and hit control panel,
go into my network and internet,
go into my network and sharing center,
and then I'll go to change adapter settings.
Here we have our Local Area Connection
and the WiFi adapter that's in this computer
I'll double click on my local area connection,
and then I'll go down to the properties tab.
I'll select internet protocol version 4,
and I'll hit properties again.
here we will see that is has an automatic IP,
but we want to change it to a static IP.
So we will click the button that says Use the following IP address
Here we will enter the same information that we have on our Power Focus controller
192
168
101
Now for the last address we can't have the same address as our controller.
So I will use the value of 1 instead of 2.
Our subnet address automatically fills in to 255.255.255.0
So we will leave that exactly as is
and we won't change anything on the default gateway.
We will hit OK
and then hit close.
and we can exit out of this screen.
Next we can launch our TT PF program.
Back on our controller now
we will hit the store button.
and we are given an error saying a reboot is needed before the changes take effect.
We will hit OK
then turn off our controller.
Once it's shut down we will turn it right back on.
Now our controller is booted right back up to the main screen.
In TT PF now..
we will go to this top bar up here
and where it says selected controller
We will select ethernet power focus.
It tells us...
That there is no reply from the ethernet
That's because we haven't changed the settings
within the Power Focus softare.
By going under the options tab
we can go into our settings.
Here we see a field that says Controller IP
We will change this value
to the value we put onto our controller which was 192
168
101
and 2.
Hit OK
and let's try it again.
Change our..
selected controller back to Ethernet PF
We are now connected to our ethernet controller.
To verify that we can open up
this drop down menu.
and here is the IP of our controller
and now we have a full set of all the information we want
from setting PSets
to seeing jobs
We can open up the
statistic viewer,
and see our Pset that we had set here.
We can open up our trace view
and do all this good stuff
through the software
instead of having to do it on the controller.
This also means that you can control your Power Focus controllers from anywhere on the netowork,
anywhere you are in the building
You don't necessarily have to be on the controller to make changes.
This helps a lot on the compact model which doesn't have a full keypad or fulls screen.
Thank you for watching this tutorial,
Make sure to tune in for part 2 where we go over creating a Pset using the ToolsTalk Power Focus software
and viewing our results and traces on the computer.
