INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Gripper, electric, GEP5000/GED5000 series
Parameter explanation (glossary)
Parameter
Explanation
ControlWord
The gripper is controlled with the "ControlWord."
The "ControlWord" is bit-exclusive, which means that only one bit at a time can be
active in the "Word." The value "ZERO" is also permitted.
DeviceMode
The "DeviceMode" is used to select gripping profiles as well as the additional help
modes in the gripper.
Workpiece No.
You can use this parameter to select or save the workpiece recipes stored in the
gripper.
TeachPosition
The "TeachPosition" is the actual workpiece position.
WorkPosition
The "WorkPosition" is the inner jaw position on the gripper. Depending on the applica-
tion, for example with internal grippers, this can also be the standby position.
GripForce
The "GripForce" parameter is used to configure the gripping force.
PositionTolerance
This is the tolerance window for the "TeachPosition", "BasePosition" and "WorkPosi-
tion." The value of the parameter acts in both directions.
BasePosition
The "BasePosition" is the outer "JawPosition." Depending on the gripper profile, this
can also be a work position!
ShiftPosition
The "ShiftPosition" is a switching position between pre-positioning and gripper move-
ment.
StatusWord
In its bits, the "StatusWord" returns the most important information about the status of
the gripper to the control.
Diagnosis
If an error should occur, the "Diagnosis" outputs a diagnostic code that can be com-
pared with the error list.
ActualPosition
The value of the current position of the gripper [1/100 mm].
Error
Fault, error message
DIR
Direction/24V cable connection - Depending on the gripper, this signal is used to
move the gripper.
Teach/Adjust
Program/Configure
Using this signal, depending on the gripper type, the current position of the gripper
jaws can be taught in as the new workpiece position. "Adjust" is used as a command
to define the reachable end positions of the gripper jaws.
GND
Abbreviation for ground connection
Offset
Correction value
Traversing routine
Defined procedure for movement of the gripper jaws
Travel path
