8.6 "Easy Startup"
From switching on the gripper to the initial movement.
►
Connect the gripper according to its assignment diagram.
Ö
The gripper reports the "StatusWord," "Diagnosis" and "ActualPosition" process data immediately after the internal
controller is booted up.
Ö
Once the "PLCActive" bit is registered in the "StatusWord," the communication process can start. To move the gripper,
the process parameters must first be transmitted.
►
Transmit the following process parameters:
• "DeviceMode"
•
"GripForce" for "DeviceMode" 103 or "DriveVelocity" for "DeviceMode" 50
• "BasePosition"
• "WorkPosition"
Ö
A "handshake" is required to transmit the process parameters to the gripper.
INFORMATION
For information about the "Handshake," refer to the "Handshake" data transfer method section.
