1-4. Connection to G-Unit
Use commercially available LAN cross or straight cable to connect LAN socketof PC direct or via hub to Ethernet socket of G-Unit.
・Be careful not to use AXIS LINK IN/OUT socket for PC connection to PC.
・Be sure to make connection from PC to MASTER G-Unit.
Modify PC side setting when you have first-time PC to G-Unit connection as
G-Unit has factory-configured TCP/IP.

Make G-Unit to G-Unit communication AXIS LINK OUT socket to AXIS LINK IN
socket using axis cable like serial beads. Plug AXIS LINK IN socket of top
G-Unit and AXIS LINK OUT socket of serial end G-Unit with G-End connector.
【For F-TYPE NR USERS】

・Do not connect IN to each other or OUT
to each other as doing so disables
RJ-45
G-Unit to G-Unit communications because 1 and 2 pins of IN and OUT
socket do not share signal name.
・Be sure not to connect axis cable (G-Unit to G-Unit connection cable) toEthernet socket.

In addition to Angle method, G-Unit serves torque increase
gradient comparison between the same at STOP and
DETECT point for judgment.
G-Unit drives motor to rotate for an intended period of time,and provides judgment if the peak torque overrun peaktorque upper limit. Use this method to detect wrong
assembly of crank shaft requiring stronger torque thannormal resistance at trial turning.
Motor rotates and stops fastener at pre-determined CUT

Switch on G-Unit I/O SENSOR #12 pin, and motor will turn fastener up to CUT
angles. This SENSOR is not switched on by the external signal alone until
G-Unit detects SNUG torque. CUT angle control following SNUG torque ispossible by an intended torque entry in SNUG torque. Both Pin-hole control
and Position adjust use the same CUT angles, however, final angles associatedwith result (history) are different as mentioned below. Angles for Pin-hole is

When you select [ASCII] as the data type, set RS232C output format by output
format tab. Setting is a byte of data per cell.

Output format sets 240 bytes each to [Header], [Spindle data], and [Footer].
Data output is made in order of [Header]→1-Spindle’s [Spindle Data]→
2-Spindle’s [Spindle Data]→・・・ → n-Spindle’s [Spindle Data]→[Footer] of
hooked up G-Tools.
Select Output Format Cell, right-click to have an intended menu displayed, and set
items to output data. Or, enter half size alpha-numeral letters via keyboard.
