Buffer While Off Line
Enable causes the SC controller to buffer data for 100 fastening cycles when the server connection is lost. Upon
reconnection, the buffered data transmits to the server. Disable does not buffer any data when the server
connection is lost.
Send Fastener Removed
Enable sends the Fastener removed message when the SC controller detects a tightened fastener is removed.
Disable stops the message from transmitting.

PFCS
Under Setup Card header -> Select Communications Card -> PFCS
For Controllers with PFCS, the plant's System group must provide these values to allow the SC controller to
communicate on the PFCS or NPL network. If using the NPL network there is a setup per spindle, even in a
multiple. Be sure to select each spindle that needs to report to the NPL and setup these parameters.
Type
Choose which type of PFCS communications to be used.
● PFCS (Basic)
This is the standard protocol used at Chrysler facilities.
● Basic NPL
This is the enhanced protocol used at Fiat facilities. The controller is enabled by the network, performs
many operations until disabled by the network.
● Smart NPL
