The actual direction of movement of the base jaws during GRIPPING and RELEASING is determined by
the parameters RELEASE LIMIT and NO PART LIMIT, which are stored in the acyclic process parameters
of the gripping module (cf. chapter 8.2.3).
INDEX -
Grip index (bit 7…0, UIntegerT)
The grip index identifies one of four pre-parameterized grips (cf. chapter 9.6 and chapter 8.2.3), which
is used for executing the next gripping command.
8.1.2
Input Data (Gripping Module to IO-Link Master)
Table 9 describes the cyclic process data word (4 bytes), which is transmitted from the gripping module to
the IO-Link master.

Table 9: Process data word gripping module to IO-Link master
POS
–
Current position (bit 31…16, IntegerT)
Returns the current position of the base jaws in 1/100 mm.
SW0, SW1, SW2, SW3 -
Virtual positions switches 0 to 3 (bit 15…12, BooleanT)
If the respective bit is set, the base jaws are within the parameterized position range of the respective
virtual position switch.
RES
–
Reserved data bits (bit 11…8)
These data bits are reserved and are currently not used by the gripping module. Their value should be
ignored by the master.
