In these article, you will learn how to connect a Stanley QBE control unit to ELAM via a Smart Work Assistant (SWA) 5 Client WiFi. Initially, the QBE controller establishes a direct network connection to the Smart Work Assistant via Ethernet. An OpenProtocol controller is pre-installed on the SWA, which ELAM uses to communicate with the tools.

Technical requirements

To use the Stanley QBE controller, you need at least the following hardware:

  • SWA5 Mini Client WiFi or a SWA5 Client WiFi

Default network settings SWA

The SWA is delivered with the following network settings as standard:

IP address: 10.43.0.1

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Port: 4545 (standard port for OpenProtocol tools)

Network settings for Stanley QBE controller

In this section, you will learn how to set up the Stanley QBE controller correctly so that the connection to the OpenProtocol controller on the SWA can be established. To do this, connect the controller to the power supply and connect the controller to the SWA via an Ethernet cable.

  1. Open the network settings on the control unit under Setup/Communications/TCP/IP and set a fixed IP address between(10.43.0.2 to 10.43.0.40). The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Network settings

  1. Open the OpenProtocol settings on the control unit under Setup/Communications/Open and set the default port to 4545.

  1. Open the OpenProtocol settings on the control unit under Setup/Communications/Open and set the"Send Fastener Removed" setting to"NO". If this setting is set to "YES", the control unit will send OK results to ELAM. This automatically counts up the number in the screwing step.

  1. Done. Save all settings and switch the controller off and on again. The ELAM OpenProtocol Controller searches for new tools every 15 seconds.

Creating tools in ELAM

As soon as the Stanley controller connects to the ELAM OpenProtocol Controller, all connected spindles or WiFi screwdrivers are created as tools in ELAM Administration on the Tools page. The ELAM OpenProtocol Controller automatically creates the tools with the correct tool serial number from the manufacturer. The serial numbers of the tools are legibly printed on the labels.

Note: If WiFi screwdrivers are not created automatically, disconnect the LAN connection of the control unit and reconnect the LAN cable after 10 seconds.
