The main objective of this project is to interface the nut runner machine in the tightening system with the master computer. Nut runner is a torque tightening machine. It is used to tighten the bolts which are very complex by manual tightening. By this interfacing, it can collect and store all the data from the machine including torque, angle, and status of the tightening bolts, in accordance with the engine number. For the interfacing purpose, it uses a hardware component called PROFIBUS. PROFIBUS is a process field bus it has a special feature that is, it can collect and store all the resultant data into the master computer. By using a software interface Win CC flexible and hardware interface SIMATIC net card and includes Visual basics to display all the data.
