Software
Two Windows applications and one Android app. Which one you need depends on whether you are driving a TCB controller or reading a wireless transducer.
Downloads
TCB Windows Software
Torque control & process monitoring
- Drives
- TCB torque controllers
- Runs on
- Windows 7, 10 and 11
- File
- setup.exe
Install MariaDB first. The application stores its tightening records in a local database and will not complete setup without one.
DownloadTMS Windows Software
Torque & process monitoring
- Drives
- TTES / TTAS / TTEB / TTEH / TTAH / TTEP / TTAP wireless transducers
- Runs on
- Windows 7, 10 and 11
- File
- setup.exe
Install MariaDB first. The application stores its tightening records in a local database and will not complete setup without one.
DownloadTMS Android app
Torque monitoring on the line
- Drives
- The same wireless transducer series, from a phone or tablet
- Runs on
- Android 7.0 or above
- File
- TMS 0.9.1.4J.apk
Downloads are served from downloads.zippgroup.com and zippgroup.com, the group's own hosts.
Before you install
MariaDB, for both Windows applications
MariaDB is a free, open-source database — a backward-compatible successor to MySQL with additional security and performance work. Both TCB and TMS keep their tightening records in it, so it has to be present before you run either installer.
Nothing extra for Android
The TMS app stores locally on the device and needs no database of its own. Install the APK, pair a DR-RF dongle or a Bluetooth gateway, and it will find the transducer.
What the software does
Real-time monitoring
Torque and angle live, with immediate over- and under-torque alerts.
Programmable sequences
Build a work sequence per job; the operator gets step-by-step guidance.
Torque verification
Check readings against the spec and log every result for traceability.
Torque curve display
See the curve and the trend, not just the final number.
Modbus protocol
Interoperates with PLCs and existing station equipment.
Wireless connectivity
Transducers and controllers connect without a cable run.
Reporting and export
Full reports with timestamps and operator, exported for analysis.
The same capabilities are used across industrial manufacturing, automotive assembly, construction and maintenance — anywhere a tightening result has to be proved after the fact rather than assumed.
Installed it, and something will not connect?
Tell us the controller or transducer model, the operating system, and where it stops. A product engineer will work through it with you.
