4.4 Message Area
The Message Box at the bottom of the Main screen summarizes system status and provides warnings and alarms on
the IC-D. On the IC-M LED display, only the Event Code number is displayed in the event of an error. See Event Code
Table on page 44 for a listing of these events.
4.5 Stats and PM Alarms
4.5.1 Stats Alarms
Statistics Alarms are set in the ICS Software. They are target values for the data displayed on the Spindle Stats screen.
When the controller fails to meet these target values, alarm messages appear in the message box on the Run Main
screen. They can also be set to energize an alarm output such as a light box. These alarms indicate deviations from
selected fastening statistics, so you are alerted to potential quality control problems.
4.5.2 Preventive Maintenance Alarms
Preventative Maintenance (PM) alarms are also set on the ICS software. PM Alarms are reminders for regular spindle
preventative maintenance. Up to ve dierent alarms can be set with either a number of cycles or days duration. For
example, an alarm could be set to indicate required PM of the spindle’s gearbox case after 50,000 cycles. When an alarm
is activated, it appears in the message box on the Run Main screen. All preventative maintenance data is stored in the
spindle’s onboard memory chip. Preventative Maintenance alarms can only be cleared through the ICS software.
