Notes
• For the gripper, a total of four sensors must be mounted for the
redundant monitoring of the sensor signals.
• To avoid common errors, power the sensors only from a power
source that ensures that the sensors are not operating outside
their specifications.
• The safety control system and the sensors must be connected
via the same power supply.
• The safety control system monitors its own power supply,
U=24 V -20 % ... +25%.
• If the voltage exceeds or falls below the upper or lower voltage
limit, the power supply of the gripper is switched off and the
safety control system must be restarted.
• The sensors must be configured so that the overrun traverse of
the gripper after a workpiece loss is short enough that there is
no danger. However, the overrun traverse must be long enough
for the safety control system to be able to detect the overrun
via the sensor signals,
