Extended Configuration Parameters
Maintenance Interval
Sets the number of gripping cycles for the maintenance interval.
This value is preconfigured by the manufacturer and doesn’t need to be changed for normal operation.
For certain applications, however, it might be useful to adjust the maintenance interval according to the
environmental conditions of the gripping process.
Please note that the number of gripping cycles performed by the module is only saved remanently
every 1000 cycles. This means that the module might have performed much more gripping cycles
when reaching the maintenance interval than indicated by the cycle counter.

System Commands
System commands are issued by writing the respective code (1 byte) at index 0x02 of the standardized pro-
cess parameters (cf. chapter 8.2.2). If necessary, the system commands can be issued directly via the config-
uration software of the IO-Link master. The following commands are available:
Restarting the Gripping Module (Code 0x80)
With this command, you can restart the module without having to disconnect it from the power supply (warm
start).
Process parameters that are not stored remanently are lost during a warm start.
Reset to Factory Settings (Code 0x82)
With this command, the configuration of the gripping module can be reset to the factory settings.
All altered process parameters are overwritten with the standard setting.
Acknowledge Maintenance (Code 0xB0)
With this command, you can confirm that the device has undergone maintenance. When the module signals
that maintenance is necessary (in the cyclic process data word, cf. chapter 8.1.2, or via system event, cf.
