GIKEN INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.

Before beginning operation:

CautionNote
1. Please read this instruction manual carefully in order to ensure that you use this product correctly.
2. A part or no part of this instruction manual may be used or reproduced without the permission of Giken
Industrial Co.,Ltd.
3. Regarding the handling process and operation that are not listed in this instruction manual, please thinkthat they cannot be operated, and do not attempt to operate them. Any defect that would occur when thehandling process or the operation that is not listed in this instruction manual is executed should be
excluded in the scope of the warranty.
4. Matters listed in this instruction manual are subject to change for the improvement without notice.

CautionMeasures in case of an emergency
If this product is in a dangerous condition, immediately turn OFF all power switches of the main unit or
the connected equipment, or pull out all power cords from the plug outlets. (“Dangerous condition” means
the condition when the fire break out or the danger to personal injury can be expected due to the excessive
heat generation, smoking or ignition.)-1-Outline
This product is the setup software for the GSS/GSSW controller. Setup input can be entered from the front panelof the controller manually for the GSS/GSSW controller, but this software is used to facilitate the setup input ina way easy to understand. When the personal computer with this software installed is used, it is possible tosimplify the initial setup input and improve the maintainability due to its batch transmission function while
monitoring the display screen. As the other feature, the tightening history can be read and the torque waveform
display can be checked by sampling the tightening torque value.

Hardware requirements
OS: WINDOWS’95
WINDOWS’98
WINDOWS NT
WINDOWS ME
WINDOWS 2000
WINDOWS XP
RAM: 64MB or more
Installation destination: C:¥Program Files¥GSS Setup
Activation method: Execute GSS_IF.exe

Password to write to the controller is 2003.

Glossary
UNIT:
Multiple axes control up to 30 axes can be treated as each axis to independently operate or as a group of
several axes (a unit) to operate together. One interface unit can control the maximum 7 units. At least one
controller belongs to one unit (maximum 30 axes control to one unit), and one input command is assigned
to one unit and then all belonging axes start operation simultaneously. In SIO, different station numbers
are assigned to each unit.
PROGRAM:
Screw tightening program can form the program from 1 to 24 on each axis. One program begins with thecontrol flag (Zero magnification check is performed or not, etc.) and rating setting, and it is possible to set
operation to maximum 50 steps. However, the end is treated as one step. At least one block should havebeen set in the program.
BLOCK:
A set of operations in tightening program. Block start begins from rating step and shows the set of steps tothe end declaration. In automatic operation, one-time program start executes one block. It is also possible
to start from the block on the way by designating the block number. The determination (Block OK/NG)
against the operated block is output on the step in the block end declaration. If "NG" is determined oneither step in the block, it becomes the "block NG" determination (excluding the case when there is aretry); the next step will not be executed.
After determination output, the program start initiates the next block.
STEP:
Each operation (Rotation, pretightening, reverse rotation and final tightening), block end declaration, andretry are called steps respectively. More than one block is needed in a program. Program is executed fromthe step 1 and finished by the end declaration at the final block. On the step of the final block end
declaration, the total determination (Total OK/NG) is output.
Each axis in the unit operates by step synchronization and the axis in which step has been complete turns
OFF the servo motor and waits for the step completion of other axes. When steps of all axes are complete,
the next step will be operated.
QL INPUT:In the block where the tightening operation is in progress, if the tightening operation is not within the OK
range, "NG" determination is output in this block. At this time, it is possible to change the determination"NG" to "OK" by inputting the tightening output of the manual torque wrench to the controller. This input
is called a QL input.
RETRY:
It is possible to retry (try again) operation if NG occurred in each operation (rotation, pretightening,reverse rotation or final tightening) in the block. When the retry operation is set on the step, if NG
occurred on the way from the block start declaration till the previous step of retry, the operation following
the retry will be executed. If NG did not occur, the operation following the retry will not be executed.
ROTATION:
Used for screw pick up (a socket picks up a screw head) operation before tightening or preventive
operation against socket-engagement after tightening.
- 59 -

PRETIGHTENING:
Operation to perform temporary tightening until a screw seats.
REVERSE ROTATION:
Operation to unfasten the seated screw by several turns. It is possible to determine the screw baking bymonitoring the residual torque during this tightening operation.
FINAL TIGHTENING:
Final tightening operation of screws
APPLICABLE TO ID CONTROLLERS:
It is possible to transfer the engine number, set the calendar and transmit the result data by connecting theinterface unit and ID controller via serial communication. (Exclusive use with a printer.)
APPLICABLE TO PRINTERS:Connects with a printer through Centronics interface. Setting data and tightening result can be printed.
(Exclusive use with a QC personal computer and ID controller.)
TIGHTENING ANGLE SAMPLING OPERATION:
Operation to rotate the screw in the tightening direction at a constant speed and then stop when it reaches
the preset torque, in order to measure the screw length. This operation allows you to easily set thetightening program. (Executable only from a personal computer.)- 60 -
