1. PLC Setup

1.1 PLC Program Installation

With the laptop connected to the plc, open CX

Programmer. Once the CX is open, use the file open
command of the open icon at the top of the screen to
open the wrench plc program. The next box that will
appear is the open dialog window. This window will
allow you to navigate to where the wrench program is
saved.

For the service department, this is the “S drive” root

directory, in a folder call PLC Programs.

For the commissioning department, this is located on

the “Commissioning drive” in a folder called PLC
Prgrograms.

Once you have located the correct file name, highlight

is in the window and click open. This will open the plc
program in cx programmer.

You can also use windows explorer to open the plc program. Locate the file using windows explorer,
then double click the file with the .cxp extension. This will open CX programmer software and load
the program project file.

 Commissioning Manual
Section 1 Rev.01

Once you have the project file open in CX programmer, you can connect to the plc. This is done by
clicking the plc drop down menu and
navigating down the list to “Work online”.

This next message that will appear is below,

click yes to this box and the software
connects to the plc. If there are any error
while connecting refer to the appendix for a
trouble shooting guide for additional
information.

After the computer connects to the plc, the working area of the project screen will turn gray and all the
active rungs will turn green. If your screen is not gray,
then you are not connected to the plc. Refer to the
trouble shooting guide for more information.

With the computer connected you can now download

the program to the plc. Use either the plc dropdown
menu to transfer, or transfer icon at the top of the
screen.

Be sure to Transfer To PLC or your local copy of the

plc program will be corrupt and need to be copied from
the network again. After you have selected transfer to
plc a dialog box will appear asking you what you want
to transfer. For the first time that you transfer the
program, you must select the boxes as they appear here.
If you do not select “settings and IO table” the plc may
or may not connect to the NS screen after you have the
program installed.

Canrig Drilling
Technologies Canada Section 1 - Page 2 9/25/2006
 Commissioning Manual
Section 1 Rev.01

Select all the corresponding option boxes and then press “OK”. The program will start its transfer.
This may take a few minutes to complete. Depending on what state the plc was in when you hit ok, it
may warn you that you are about to change the
state of the plc and make sure that all
connected devices are stopped. In this case,
check to make sure nothing is running, as it
will stop once you hit yes. The transfer is now
started and this box will give you the progress
as the files are written to the plc. When the
transfer is complete, this box will notify you
that it has completed successfully and ask you
if you would like to put te plc to run mode,
click yes and the program starts to run.

1.2 PLC Memory Install

The next step in the process is to install

the memory to the plc. These are all the
initial settings for the parameters of the
wrench. You can view these settings
and make changes as need be once we
have completed the NS software
installation. The memory for the
program also contains all the scaling
information for the transducers, and
position sensors. With out this memory
all visible areas of the screen will read
“0”.

Double click on the memory section of

the program on the left side in the
navigation plan. You will see a new
window open with all the memory locations in it.

Use the File dropdown menu and select “Open File”. Use the Open navigation window to locate the
“Generic Wrench Memory” file and select open. The load all the settings from that memory file to the
open window.

Canrig Drilling
Technologies Canada Section 1 - Page 3 9/25/2006
 Commissioning Manual
Section 1 Rev.01

Use the Online dropdown menu---- transfer to

plc button to start the transfer.

The next box will appear asking you want you

would like to transfer. Select “d” and under
transfer area select all and press “Transfer To
PLC”. This will take approximately 1-2
minutes to transfer all the memory in this file.

If there are any errors while transferring, then the CX

programmer will let you know. Once the transfer is
complete you will be notified.

Depending what state the PLC is in when you open the memory, you may need to change it to
allow a memory transfer. To change the state of the PLC right click on the plc name at the top of
the navigation plan in CX programmer and select Program mode from the operating mode list.
You can now go back to the memory transfer and complete the upload.

1.3 NS Screen Program Installation (NS Designer)

After installing the plc program and memory, we move

to the NS screen. The Omron NS series screens use NS
Designer to design and communicate with the screen.
To download the screen project file, you first need to
open NS Designer 6.2. From the file drop down menu,
choose open project. After the project has opened, you
will have the open screen dialog box on the computer,
click the boot screen and the click ok. This will open
the main boot screen for editing. Be sure not to click
on the screen and move object around, as they may
overlay and make your screen program un-useable. If
you wish to look at different parts of the screen project,
you can uses the open screen command from the file
drop down menu to make this open screen box re-
appear. Then simple select the screen that you would
like to view and click ok.

Once you are done viewing the screen

you can close that screen without
closing the complete project. From the
file dropdown menu, click close
screen, or click the lower “x” in the
upper right corner.

Technologies Canada Section 1 - Page 5 9/25/2006
 Commissioning Manual
Section 1 Rev.01

The next step is to transfer the screen project data to the NS12 screen. From the file menu, select
“Transfer Data”. This will
bring up a window to connect
to the ns screen. Press the
connect button and check to
make sure the screen displays
connected. If you have trouble
connecting to the NS screen
check that you are using a
CBL210 Omron cable, and that
the correct port is displayed in
the “Comms Method.” area.
To change the com port, click
“Comms Method” and select
the desired comport.

After the computer has

connected to the NS screen,
you will see the project files on
the left side of this window,
and nothing on the right. Click
the select all box, then click the
“D” arrow in the center. This
will now down load all the
project data from the computer
to the screen. Once this
download is complete you will
be prompted to reboot the NS screen. This is required any time a system setting or screen change is
made. Once the boot up sequence is complete, the boot screen should appear.

If not please check communication settings for the screen. To check these settings, press any 2 corners
of the screen simultaneously. You can now look at all the system settings in the NS Hardware. Press
the communications tab at the top. Check comm. Port A is set to NT Link 1:N, then select details, and
set the speed to high.

If you are still experiencing communication problems between the screen and the PLC, check the
cable pinout and that the settings in the CPU are correct. If you have followed the instructions from
the start, all the CPU settings should have been transferred in the PLC program installation.

2. IO Check and Electrical Check

Note: For all of the following steps record all the results on the corresponding sections of the
Commissioning check list located in the appendix of this manual

Before starting the IO check, be sure that the main

hydraulic pump motor breaker is in the off position as
well as the heater breaker.

2.1 Drillers Console IO

Using the PLC Diagnostic screen, you can function all

the inputs from the drillers console to check wiring, and
cable pin out to the PLC enclosure. This screen will
allow you to confirm that the labeled output on the
console corresponds with the input on the PLC. This can
be done for all the inputs on the drillers console, radio
and HPU. Use the devices and check each output before
starting the HPU.

2.2 Radio IO

As with the Drillers Console this screen will allow you to confirm that the labeled output on the radio
or wired remote corresponds with the input on the PLC. This can be done for all the inputs on the
radio. Use the devices and check each output before starting the HPU.

2.3 Analog Input

All of the analog inputs for the system are displayed on the PLC Diagnostic Input screen. Refer to this
screen for the next steps for checking the analog inputs.

All analog inputs when connected should read between 3.98 and 4.05 mA and the low end of the scale.
If the numbers displayed are less the 3.98, the analog signal coming back to the plc may be
interrupted. To check this, press the PLC Output button at the lower right corner of the screen and
look at the analog card error box. Channel 1 = 2001, channel 2 = 2002….etc… If the light on the
screen is red, then there is no loop between the plc and the analog device.

Canrig Drilling
Technologies Canada Section 2 - Page 1 9/25/2006
 Commissioning Manual
Section 2 Rev.01

ƒ 2001 Spinner Flow Joystick

Actuate the joystick and check that the input goes from 0-10 VDC in both directions. While actuating
the joystick, a digital input light for spin in and spin out should be displaced. If these inputs are not
displayed, there is a problem in the radio or wired remote harness. Have the electrical department
check the wiring and re-test.

ƒ 2003 Torque Position

Disconnect the torque cylinder

position sensor from the bottom
of the torque cylinder and move
it from the retracted position to
the extended position. The
analog input should move from
4.00 mA to 20 mA. If there is no
change check that the memory
has been installed correctly and
the wiring is to the drawings.

ƒ 2004 Horizontal Position

As with the torque cylinder,

disconnect the transducer from
the mount and move it from the
retracted position to the extended
position, the input should change from 4 mA to 20 mA.

ƒ 2005 Make / Spin In Pressure, 2006 Break Pressure, System Pressure

Before starting the HPU and adding trapped pressure to the transducer circuit, the pressure transducers
can be zeroed. With the plc input screen visible, use a small flat blade screwdriver in the “zero
adjust” port on the side of the transducer. Turn the screw in to increase the milliamps, and out to
decrease. Adjust the analog inputs for all transducers to 4.00 – 4.02. This will zero the pressure
transducers before adding oil to the systems and trapping air/oil in the transducer lines.

Note:
If you have already started the HPU and have readings more than a few PSI on the screen, then
you must bleed the transducer lines to eliminate any trapped pressure before zeroing the
transducers.

2.4 PLC Output Test

Note:
This test is for a unit that has an attached power pack. For units that have no power pack this
test can be skipped as the unit will be run from the test pack in the shop. Alternately you can
still perform the test if the cable is connected to the shop power pack.

Once you have checked all the inputs are correct, we move to the PLC outputs. The only out puts you
can test with the HPU off are the motor start, cooler fan start, and the heater start. Check that the main
motor overload breaker is in the off position and all the ESD buttons are off, then press motor start.
Check that the main motor contactor pulls in, and latches. Next pressure the cooler fan start button in
the device test screen and ensure the cooler fan starts and is rotating the right direction. Finally press
the heater start button and ensure the heater contactor pulls in.

Once you have confirmed that all the inputs and outputs are correctly wired, we can now check the
rotation on the main power pack motor.

ƒ Remove the cover to view the coupling.

ƒ Check that the tank is full of hydraulic oil and the pump compensator is completely screwed
out.
ƒ Check that the suction valve for the hydraulic pump is open.
ƒ Set pump compensator to lowest setting

Press the motor start button momentarily and view the rotation of the pump. The rotation indicator for
the pump is located on the rear of the pump. If the rotation is correct the test is finished, if it is
incorrect consult the electrical department to correct the rotation.

3. Hydraulic System Startup

3.1 Pump

After completing all the IO testing we can move to the HPU Startup. If the wrench system that is
being commissioned does not include a HPU, the following “Pump 3.1” section should be performed
on the rig at the time of install. The remaining sections 3.2 – 3.4 should be completed to ensure proper
direction of movement and function before attempting to set any of the hydraulic or electrical
parameters.

After confirming the rotation, suction valve, and compensator settings in the previous section we can
start the HPU.
ƒ Disconnect the 4VP01 line and cap it.
ƒ Check that the pressure and return lines are connected correctly
(Incorrect connection of the P&T line will result in valve failure and spring cap
replacement)
ƒ Ensure the compensator screw is at the minimum setting
ƒ Press the motor start button and check for leaks.
ƒ Set the compensator to 2500 psi and
check for leaks again Parker P2 - 145 Piston Pump

Technologies Canada Section 2 - Page 1 9/26/2006
 Commissioning Manual
Section 2 Rev.01

3.1.2 Differential Pressure

Using the pressure measurement from the device test screen, restart the HPU and cycle the lower or
upper clamps rapidly to release the pressure. Turn the differential pressure out until it reads 250-275
psi. You may need to re-cycle the clamps rapidly to release the pressure. Readjust the differential
until 250-275 psi is reached. It may be easier to lower the differential until the pressure is lower than
desired, then readjust upward until 250.

3.1.3 4VP01 Pressure Control Valve

To set the 4VP01 valve use the pump test button in the device test screen and set the pump output to
2000. From the Diagram you can see the adjustment screw and the bleed screw at opposite ends of the
valve. Before you start to set
the Max pressure, use the bleed
screw to release any air that is
Max Pressure Adjust
trapped behind the spool. If (Caution when adjusting see Note)
this air is not released, the
pump with “hunt” while trying
to adjust the pressure.
Denison 4VP01 Pressure Control Valve

Start the power pack and press

pump test. Loosen the bleed
screw (not to much or you will
wear it). Let the oil bleed for a
few seconds, the tighten it up.
Repeat this step 3 – 4 time to
ensure all the air is released.

Next set the pump to 4000 and

hold reset, while pressing the Spool Air Bleed Screw
pump test button. By pressing (Open on initial Startup)
the reset while using the pump
test button, the plc set the max analog out (4000 points) to the card.

This in turn sets the PR driver card to 75.0 (750mA) max output. With one hand on the reset stretch
your arm to the 4VP01 valve and adjust the screw on the valve until the pressure reads 5000 – 5075
psi. Unless you have 40ft arms you may need some help with this step. Once you have the pressure
set to 5000-5075, lock the nut, then re-check the settings by turning the pump test button on and off.

3.1.4 Torque Limiter Adjustment

With the compensator, differential, and 4VP01 adjusted the torque limiter is the last step in the torque
limiter. Because all of the settings affect one another, we set the torque limiter high to eliminate it
from changing all the other settings.
Hawe Tong Valve Inlet Section

To set the torque limiter, you will need a

current clip on one of the motor leads to view
the current draw to the motor.

Loosen the cap on the main pressure relief, and

Main System
set the relief to minimum. With the amp clamp Relief
connected to the motor line, start the HPU. Set
the pump test pressure to 4000 and press the
pump test button. Slowly adjust the main
system relief until the amps read 95% of name
plate motor amperage. For a 480 VAC 50 HP
motor, this value is 57-59 amps.

With the pump / motor combination drawing

57 amps, lower the torque limiter adjustment
until the amps drop below 57, then slowly
increase the torque limiter setting until the
amps slowly increase back to 57 amps, tighten
the lock nut.

The torque limiter is now set to 57 amps. To

test the torque limiter, lower the main system
relief setting to 40 amps, then slowly increase the relief and watch the amperage draw on the motor.
The meter should not go over 57-59 amps. If it does you must reset the torque limiter.

If all of the settings are correct after performing the test then turn the main system relied all the way in
(5200 psi), lock and reinstall the cap.

Note:
With the main system relief valve set lower than the pressure compensator, all pump flow is
traveling over the relief valve. This will create high amounts of heat, in a very short period of
time. For this setting, you may need to manually turn on the oil cooler to limit the amount of
heat in the system.

3.2 Tong Functional Test

Using the device test screen and the make test and break
out test buttons. When pressing the break out test button,
the torque cylinder should extend and the tong should
rotate.

Next press the make up test button and the tong should
rotate back to the original position.

Note:
Do Not use the horizontal transducer override when
performing this test. If the horizontal override is on,
the tong will automatically rotate to the original
position.

After confirming the rotation direction for the tong is

correct, start the pressure test. In this test we are not
calibrating the pressure, we are just determining that the
correct pressure control valve is on when the
corresponding flow valve is on.

Enter 2500 psi in the pump test window, and 1500 in the
make break press test window. Now press pump test, make up test, and make break press test. The
make spin in pressure should be reading 1500 -2500 psi. If there is no pressure reading, then check the
break out by switching the make up test to break out test.

If there is still no pressure displayed in the corresponding box, then check the wiring to the pressure
control coil on the torque cylinder valve. If wires 2 & 3 are swapped, the coil tries to control the
pressure in the return side of the valve. Swap wires 2 & 3 and retest. If the retest fails there may be a
problem with the internal pressure control darts below the pressure control coil. Refer to the Hawe
valve disassembly manual for instructions for valve disassembly.

3.3 Spinner Function Test

To test the spinners, you must use the device test screen and the radio. Functions the spinner clamps
in and out to confirm the correct direction of travel.

Change to the settings screen and turn on the horizontal transducer override allow the spinners to spin
in any position. Using the radio press the spin in and confirm the direction of rotation.

ƒ For spin in the rollers should be turning in the direction labeled below. Check the direction
and correct if necessary.

3.4 Arm Function Test

The last functional test before starting the calibrations and final setup is the arm. Using the joystick
function the arm in and out. Make sure the direction of travel corresponds with the label on the
Drillers Console. In – in to hole center, Out – out from hole center.

If the directions for the Horizontal travel are backward check the wiring for 2012 wires 2 & 3. If the
arm does not move, check the manual horizontal values in the advanced settings screen and increase
the numbers if necessary.

The second step is to test the vertical lift. Check the vertical extend and retract pressures in the
advanced screen. These values should be approximately 2500 psi. Move the joystick up and down
and ensure the wrench travels in that direction. Again if the function is backward check the wiring and
the plumbing.

The final step is to rotate the wrench right and left. Using the device test screen, or the manual
operation screen, press the rotate button for right. Looking from the front of the wrench, the arm
should rotate to the right. And pressing the left button should rotate it left. Backwards = Wiring or
Plumbing

4. Hydraulic System Settings

There are only 7 valves that need to be adjusted in the hydraulic circuit of the wrench. These are
Counterbalance valves, Clamp pressure control, and max motor pressure. For these settings you will
need 2 5000 psi gauges and 2 #4 BSP x #4 JIC adapters.

4.1 Horizontal Counterbalance valve

The first of the valves is the horizontal

counterbalance valve. This valve
controls the motion of the arm when
there is not pressure signal from the
hydraulic valve. The counter balance
valve holds the load of the cylinder
when you are not actuating the handle, if
this valve is not set correctly, the wrench
arm will drift backward unexpectedly.

There are 2 cartridges on the horizontal Increase (CCW)

Decrease (CW)
cylinder, one for extend and one for
retract. Retract is the first one that needs Extend Counterbalance
to be set in the sequence. cartrige
Retract Counterbalance
This valve should be adjusted lower until Cartridge

the arm starts to drift rearward. This setting needs to be done, with the arm almost in the retracted
(home) position. Extend the arm until approximately 2 inches of rod showing on the cylinder. Then
loosen the lock nut on the correct valve and turn the adjustment in until the arm starts to move slowly.

Caution:
Do not put you arm in between the link arm and the main boom to adjust this valve. The arm
may start to move without warning.

Turn the adjustment CCW (out) 1 full turn and retest that the arm will not move in any position. If the
arm still creeps at the fully retracted position, increase the setting on the valve (CCW) ¼ turn at a time.

Canrig Drilling
Technologies Canada Section 4 - Page 1 9/27/2006
 Commissioning Manual
Section 4 Rev.01

To set the extend side of the counter balance valve. Extend the arm fully, and set the pump to 1000 psi
in the device test screen. Increase the valve to the max set point (full CCW). Actuate the horizontal
retract leave manually on the side of the wrench arm, the arm should not move. Decrease the
counterbalance valve setting until the arm moves slowly then increase it by ½ turns. The extend valve
is now set.

4.2 Vertical Counter Balance Valves & speed

The vertical counterbalance valves are set in a similar way to the horizontal retract. Set the vertical
counterbalance valves on either side of the vertical tubes to max setting (full CCW). Extend the
wrench fully and lower and raise the vertical lift to synchronize the cylinders. This happens when the
cylinder bottom up on the stop and oil is allowed to pass from side to side in the flow divider.

With the vertical lift fully raised, decrease the counter

balance valve on one side until the wrench starts to drop,
then increase the setting (CCW) by ¾ turns. Proceed to the
next side and do the same. Once both valves are set, Valve Handle Position

operate the vertical lift though its complete stroke and

ensure the cylinders are moving in sync. If one cylinder is
lagging the other, you can increase the setting from the
counterbalance valve of the faster cylinder by ¼ increments
to sync the movement.

The vertical speed must now be set using the spool stops.
This is an initial setting and will need to be adjusted after
the horizontal motion has been tuned. Set the spool stop so
that ¼” is past the handle base (see diagram). Operate the 1
4" - of Stop
vertical lift to check speed, make sure that it is not
bottoming out the cylinders at high speed. This is all that
need to be set at this time.

4.3 Rotate counter balance valve & speed

The rotate counterbalance valve is the final valve to set on the arm system. Set the valve to the
minimum setting (full CW). Extend the wrench fully, and lower the vertical lift half way. Push on the
side of the vertical lift tube and the wrench should rotate. Slowly increase the counter balance valve
setting until you are unable to rotate the wrench by hand. Then increase that setting by ½ turn. Do the
same for the opposite direction.

Canrig Drilling
Technologies Canada Section 4 - Page 2 9/27/2006
 Commissioning Manual
Section 4 Rev.01

Once you have set the rotate counter balance valve, we can set the rotate speed. Initially set the spool
stops on the valve ¼” out from the handle base. With the wrench retracted to home position, use the
buttons on the device test screen to actuate the rotate function. When the rotate speed is set correctly
the wrench should rotate 90 deg in 4 seconds. Readjust the spool stops until this speed is achieved.

4.4 Spinner clamp Pressure

To set the spinner clamp pressure, install one gauge in either gauge port on the work section. In the
device test screen set the pump to 3000 psi.
SLF Valve Section
Remove the caps on the work port relief valves
using a 12 mm wrench. Actuate the valve to A&B Port Relief Control
(Remove Cap and use a 4mm
close the spinner clamps, and using a 4 mm key, alen key, and 12mm wrench to adjust

adjust the pressure to 2800 psi.

Then actuate the valve to open the spinner

clamps, and adjust the opposite relief valve to
limit the pressure to 500 psi.

The spinner clamp is now set, turn off the HPU,

remove the gauges, and reinstall the caps.

4.5 Spinner Motor Pressure

The spinner motor is adjusted in the same way.

Before starting, remove the spinner motor hoses Spool Stop Screw

and cap the valve and hoses. Install the gauges,

in the correct work ports, and start the HPU.

Using the device test screen set the pump to 3500 psi. Actuate the spinner motor valve by hand, and
adjust the max pressure for each port to 3000 psi. Turn off the HPU, remove the gauges, reconnect the
hoses, and install the caps.

Note:
Do not cap only one motor line to set the pressure. This can back pressure the motors and cause
the shaft seals to leak

6. Options and Parameters

Using the advanced settings in the screen you can tune the wrench to be fast, and smooth as it
operates, as well as set all the options that is included in each wrench. For example is the wrench is
not shipped with a power pack you can remove the motor start function, and all of the inputs that are
associated with the tank.

The memory file that we installed at the start of the setup procedure has all of these settings located in
the advanced settings screen in it. This load all of the settings from a generic file, but any one of these
settings may need to be altered to make each wrench run consistently.

Below are each tab from the advanced screens with data that was collected from a install on a rig
(Rowan-Hank Boswell. These setting we altered from the file that was loaded to smooth the operation
of the wrench.

6.1 General
The general setting screen is where most of the HPU settings are located, as well as any globle timers
that are use in various places in the system. You can also select the options that are one this particular
wrench. This should be done before tuning any of the other parametes. This also may need to be
completed
before the
functional
testing in
section 3 to
override any
errors associated
with the HPU on
a non HPU
wrench.

6.2 Vertical / Rotate Settings

The vertical and rotate sections are very simple, pressures to extend and retract. A timer for the
proximity and a position for the vertical clear.

The vertical clear timer allows you to set, how far the vertical lift retracts after the clear proximity
turns on. This timer does not need to change on a arm type wrench, but on a carriage unit, this can be
used to lower the wrench farther passed the flag for clearance with the torque tube.

The vertical clear position is use to block the vertical motion until the wrench is far enough forward
not to collide with the floor or the derrick. This value should be set the same as the trip position.

6.3 Horizontal Slide Settings

The horizontal slide section is used to tune the motion of the wrench in automatic mode as well as
manual mode. Most of the descriptions for the fields are well labeled and self explanatory. On the top
left section of the screen you can enter all the position information required to position the wrench.
Below that are the extend and retract settings for the acceleration and deceleration of the wrench as it
move to and from hole center.

On the right side of the screen you will find all the manual settings and error timers, as well as the
extend and retract pressures.

Note:
Retract pressure and vertical Retract pressure should be set very close to the same. When the
wrench is moving in auto mode, the pressure that is produced by the pump is driven from the
retract pressure of the horizontal cylinder. If you require more pressure than that to lift the
vertical cylinder, you must increase this setting to the vertical retract pressure.

6.4 Clamp Settings

The clamp setting screen is again very basic. The labels on the field should tell you what these
settings change.

ƒ Clamp Close PCheck - Timer runs for the set time after the 1500 psi is reached keeping the
pump at 1500 psi until the timer expires
ƒ Clamp Close Depressure Time -Timer runs for after the pressure check is compete for set
time with the pump at 250 psi
ƒ Auto Clamp Open – Turns the clamps on after make or break is complete to extend the
clamps for the set time before retracting
ƒ Auto Clamp Full Open - Runs the clamps for the set time once the wrench is finished
retracting
ƒ Clamp Extend Pressure – Sets clamp extend pressure
ƒ Clamp Extend Pressure Offset – Set the lower side of the window for the Pcheck
ƒ Clamp Pressure Scale – Used in setting the clamp pressure while making or breaking, should
be set from 75 – 85
ƒ Clamp Pressure Offset – Add this amount of pressure to the make pressure to set pump
pressure output should be set to 1800-2200 psi.

6.5 Torque Settings

The Torque settings screen is the most complicated. Most of these setting will not need to be adjusted.
If you require a description of all the functions, it is attached in the appendix of this manual. The main
focus of this page should be on the speeds. These speeds may need to be increased or decreased to
achieve the correct torque output. This can only be done while the final testing is completed. If a
torque value is overshooting, you will need to slow the speed down to allow the plc time to control the
torque.

These speeds should also be set that when the tong rotates the cylinder does not bottom out. If the
cylinder bottoms out while making a connection the toque valve reading is incorrect. The same is true
for breakout.

6.6 Spinner Settings

The spinner clamps work the same as the main clamps. The times and pressure settings are labled the
same. The spinner flows are a little different that anything that we have set so far. There are 3
different flows that you can set, one for spin in and spin out, and the last for remote. The first 2 are
used to set the spinner speed while running in auto mode or manual mode from the screen. The last
spinner flow is used to limit the max speed when running from the radio.
