Intermediate position
• The intermediate position also called "workpiece gripped" can be programmed as desired.
• This requires moving the gripper jaws to the desired position (e.g. by gripping the workpiece).
• A signal (+24 V) is then applied to the pin 7 input (teach/adjust)* for a minimum of 0.5 seconds and a maximum of 3 seconds.
• Feedback is received via the pin 4 output (teached position)* in the process.
• The statuses are also shown on the gripper via the LED display.
