Overview
Virtual cable
Virtual cable is a Desoutter solution based on the UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) technology.
It prevents the operator to use the tool outside a predefined area, named Working space.
It is composed of a Master tracking base connected to CONNECT and of tools equipped with trackers
(TRACKER-EABC e-LINK,TRACKER-EPBC and TRACKER-EABS ranges).
The Master tracking base can manage up to 7 additional tracking bases which control their own working space.
Each tracking base can manage up to 8 trackers.
All devices (tracking bases, trackers) must be inside 15/20 m (49/65 feet) radius from the Master tracking base.
Extra UV are required to use this solution.
Example of installation -1 working space
The Master tracking base is connected to CONNECT via USB-C.

Example of installation – 2 working spaces
The Master tracking base is connected to CONNECT via Ethernet.
The tracking base is powered by an external USB-C (5 V).
The tracking bases are communicating via UWB.
Depending on the configuration of the workstation, the distance between the tracking bases cannot exceed 15-20 m (49/65 feet).

Installation

Installation Requirements
Read before installing

• Trackers mounted on tools must be always visible by the tracking base.
• Avoid metallic structure between trackers and tracking base.
• All devices (tracking bases, trackers) must be inside 15/20 m (49/65 feet) radius from the Master tracking base.
• When the communication is set to USB, the Master Tracking Base cannot be positioned more than 5 m (16 feet) from CONNECT.
• Place the tracking base next to the center of the working space.
• Place the tracking base 2 meters (6.5 feet) maximum above the floor.
  Other UWB systems may interfere with communication used between trackers and tracking base.
  The UWB radio channel used for communication can be modified by using CVIMONITOR.

Minimum firmware and software releases

Defining the Communications Settings for the Master Tracking Base
Before installing the Master tracking base in the workstation, check its communication settings.

1. Plug the USB-C cable from the Master tracking base to the computer where CVIMONITOR is installed.
2. Launch CVIMONITOR. Minimum firmware and software releases [Page 7]
3. Click the tab Tracking base.
4. When the tracking base is displayed, click Select.
5. Select USB if the tracking base has to be connected physically to the USB port of CONNECT. Click Write.
6. Select Ethernet if the tracking base has to be connected to the Ethernet port of CONNECT. Enter the IP address of the tracking base (192.168.5.151 by default), its sub-net mask (255.255.255.0 by default) and the gateway (127.0.0.1 by default).. Click Write.
7. Write down the tracking base MAC address. This information is mandatory for virtual system configuration with CONNECT or CVI CONFIG.

The UWB radio channel used is set to 2 by default (band 3774 – 4243.2 MHz). UWB radio channel possibilities are:

Select tracking base type (Coordinator by default), the max radio coverage (20 meters by default) and unique network ID (0 by default).
Network ID = 0 define the Coordinator Tracking bases. If the Coordinator Tracking base is not power on, ALL tracking bases (Master / Slave) and trackers will stop to work.
Only with tracking base firmware version 2.7 or later, if the coordinator tracking base is not power on then a Master tracking base is automatically elected as the new Coordinator. In this case ALL tracking bases (Master / Slave) and trackers will continue to work.
Coordinator tracking is identified with fast blinking UWB indicator.
Coordinator and Master Tracking bases required a connection (USB or Ethernet) with a CONNECT and a power supply to work. The power supply can be provided by:

• USB communication
• Ethernet (if CONNECT is PoE)
• PoE injector.
  Network ID configuration will be applied only for Master Tracking bases. Slave Tracking base depends on Master Tracking base. Slave Tracking base only needs a power supply to work.

Updating the Tracking Base Firmware
Before installing the Master tracking base in the workstation, check its tracking base firmware.

1. Plug the USB-C cable from the Master tracking base to the computer where CVIMONITOR is installed.
2. Launch CVIMONITOR.
3. Click the tab Tracking base.
4. Select the tracking base.
5. Select Upgrade firmware panel.
6. Plug a CVI Key with production setup right.
7. Press ••• button and Select Tracking base ZIP package.
   Tracking base ZIP package can be found on Desoutter support library available at:
   https://thehub.group.atlascopco.com/Teams/CPD_rd_desoutter/SitePages/DSL.aspx
8. Press Update button.
9. A progress bar is displayed to show the update progress status.

Defining the Communications Settings for the Tracker
Before using the tracker in the workstation, check first its correct installation on the tool.
Refer to the Safety Instructions of Tracker (printed matter Tracker (EABC) 6158132590, Tracker (EPBC) 6158132600, Tracker (EABS) 6158134150) available at: https://www.desouttertools.com/resource-centre.
After that check its communication settings.

1. Plug the USB-C cable from the tool with tracker to the computer where CVIMONITOR is installed.
2. Launch CVIMONITOR.
3. Select the tool.
4. Select tool identification tab.
5. Plug a CVI Key with change tool setup right.
6. Declare Tracker accessory on tool.
7. Write down the tracker MAC address.
8. This information is mandatory for virtual system configuration with CONNECT or CVI CONFIG.
9. The UWB radio channel used is set to 2 by default (band 3774 – 4243.2 MHz). UWB radio channel possibilities are:
   

   UWB Channel	Region
   Channel 1 (band 3244.8 – 3744 MHz)	FCC (US & Canada)
   Channel 2 (band 3774 – 4243.2 MHz)	ETSI (Europe) and FCC (US & Canada)
   Channel 3 (band 4243.2 – 4742.4 MHz)	ETSI (Europe) and FCC (US & Canada)
   Channel 4 (band 3328 – 4659.2 MHz)	ETSI (Europe) and FCC (US & Canada)
   Channel 5 (band 6240 – 6739.2 MHz)	ETSI (Europe) and FCC (US & Canada) and SRRC (China)
   Channel 7 (band 5980.3 – 6998.9 MHz)	ETSI (Europe) and FCC (US & Canada)

   UWB radio channel used should be the same between tracker and tracking base.

Updating the Tracker Firmware
Before installing the tracker in the workstation, check its tracking base firmware.

1. Plug the USB-C cable from the tool with tracker to the computer where CVIMONITOR is installed.
2. Launch CVIMONITOR.

Operating Instructions
Using the Virtual cable solution
The tool is enabled when the operator uses the tool inside the working space.
The tool is disabled if the operator goes outside the working space.
The user info “I931 – Tool locked by Tracking system” is displayed on both CONNECT and tool display. Tap “OK” to clear the message.
If the tightening is running as the operator goes outside the working space, the tool is by default stopped. This behaviour can be configured with the parameter “Stop when ongoing tightening is outside working space” available in Tightening Unit settings in CVI CONFIG and CONNECT.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting for Virtual Cable
Led indicators with Virtual cable system based on 1 coordinator and x Tracker(s):

* LED color If previously virtual cable system was OK. After system restart, LED color is the 2nd choice.
** When several Tracker is used : Coordinator LED 5 turns to Green blinking as soon as 1 tracker is functional.
Led indicators with Virtual cable system based on 1 coordinator, x Master, x slave and x Tracker(s):
Analysis should be done with the following steps:

• Check UWB network with Coordinator Tracking Base with its Tracker (if exists)
  Check other UWB network one by one.

1. Check Coordinator Tracking Base and its tracker LED status.
   

   Coordinator	Tracking Base	1	Tracker	Diagnostic LED Status
   LED 4	LED 5	LED 6	LED 1	Power problem on Coordinator Tracking Base
   OFF	OFF	OFF	Blue*	Power problem on Tracker
   White	Blue Blinking	Blue	Red OFF	Configuration problem on coordinator tracking base :
   White	Blue Blinking	OFF	Blue* Red	Configuration problem on coordinator tracking base : 1. Ethernet / serial communication error. 2. Wrong network interface used 3. Wrong Tracking base IP address. 4. No cable between CONNECT and Tracking Base
   White	Blue Blinking	Blue	Red	Configuration problem on Tracker / Tracking base: 1. Wrong UWB channel 2. Wrong MAC address
   White	Green Blinking	Blue	Green	Go to Step 2 analysis

   * LED color If previously virtual cable system was OK. After system restart, LED color is the 2nd choice.

2. Check other UWB network one by one.

*LED color If previously virtual cable system was OK. After system restart, LED color is the 2nd choice
** When several tracker is used : Coordinator led (5) turns to green blinking as soon as 1 tracker is functional.
