Every trigger identifies the trigger event type, which identifies when the trigger will be executed.
The trigger event types are described in the Trigger event type reference. In addition to the standard trigger event types, the Ingersoll Rand driver makes available additional trigger event types that are associated with tool rundown events, alarm notifications, and relay function settings on an Ingersoll Rand controller.
When you define an Ingersoll Rand device, the device type is selected as IC-PCM, IC12D or INSIGHTqc.
During the definition of an Ingersoll Rand device you may also elect to receive Alarm notifications. If so the driver will receive alarm notification message as they occur on the controller. Finally the driver provides the ability to subscribe to specific relays defined on the controller. The driver will be notified when the state changes for a relay, allowing a trigger to be tied to the relay state change.
Ingersoll Rand event types
The Ingersoll Rand category is available in the Trigger Event Type list when defining or editing a trigger. The trigger events associated with the Ingersoll Rand driver are shown in the following image.
- The Ingersoll Rand Event Message event will associate a tightening to a trigger.
- The Controller Alarm event type is used to fire a trigger when an alarm occurs on the Ingersoll Rand controller.
Ingersoll Rand event types
Ingersoll Event Message
This example shows a new trigger being defined with the Ingersoll Rand Event Message trigger event type.
When the Ingersoll Rand Event Message trigger event type is selected, the Event tab becomes active with parameters that accommodate the Ingersoll Rand Event Message event.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Device Name | Select an Ingersoll Rand device. This list will contain IC-PCM, IC12D or INSIGHTqc type devices. |
| Event Message | Select one of the available tool
rundown messages from the list:
|
Controller Alarm
The parameters displayed in the Event tab for an Ingersoll Rand Controller Alarm event are shown below.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Device Name | Select an Ingersoll Rand device. This list will contain IC-PCM, IC12D or INSIGHTqc type devices. |
Selecting the appropriate Event Message
The Event Message option selected for a trigger will depend upon the configuration of the controller, as well as the actions that you will define in the trigger.
- Ingersoll Rand trigger event type triggers interfacing with Ingersoll Rand type devices can be used to capture either MID0061 Rev.3-Last Tightening Result, MID0065 Old Tightening Result or MID0900 Trace Result(applies only to INSIGHTqc) event messages.
- All Ingersoll Rand controllers will support the Controller Alarm trigger event type.
Different triggers can be developed to process the different event messages. For example, a trigger could be defined to execute upon receipt of the MID00900 Trace Result event message and a second trigger defined to execute upon receipt of the MID0061 Rev.3-Last Tightening Result event message.
Each event message option contains the data that is unique to the event message it represents. These data items are available to the trigger as trigger event variables. The following sections provide the details of the event variables specific to each Ingersoll Rand event.
