The error codes are also displayed here.
Refer to the "Error display diagnosis" section
Menu 1
Force setting
Setting for the gripping force and travel speed in 5 steps
1
= low gripping force/slow travel speed
5
= high gripping force/fast travel speed
(For details, refer to the "Technical data" section)
Default value: 4
Menu 2
"Width" teach area
Setting for the width in 5 steps
1
= small width
5
= large width
(For further details, see "Technical data" section)
Default value: 3
Menu 3
"Gripper mode" menu
1
= universal operation
in accordance with inward or outward gripping, both
movements with the same speed
2
= NC operation
inward gripping with the desired force mode, quick outward
movement for reducing the cycle time
3
= NO operation
outward gripping with the desired force mode, quick inward
movement for reducing the cycle time
Default value: 1
If the gripping direction is defined, the corresponding gripper mode 2 or 3 shall be used.
The entire gripping cycle is sped up on the basis of the shorter return time of the gripper jaws.
As a result, the gripper is operated mechanically and electrically milder, to ensure a long operational life.
The gripper cannot drive to a permanent limit stop (such as a workpiece) during a fast back-
ward movement, because it would be stressed beyond the permissible forces!
Menu 4
"Position" teach area
Offset for the teached-in position in 5 steps
1
= large offset in the direction of the base position
2
= small offset in the direction of the base position
3
= no offset
4
= small offset in the direction of the work position
5
= large offset in the direction of the work position
(For further details, see "Technical data" section)
Default value: 3

Menu 6
Remaining operational life
The parameter display LEDs show the remaining operational life of the gripper
relative to 30 million cycles.
5
= long remaining operational life
1
= short remaining operational life (less than 2 million cycles)
