Overview of variants Security Use for intended purpose The vacuum generator type OVEM is designed for generating a vacuum. General safety information – The product may only be used in its original status without unauthorised modifications. – Only use the product if it is in an excellent technical status.
Range of applications and certifications Note CE declaration of conformity and certificates è www.festo.com/sp In connection with the UL marking on the product, the information of this section is also applicable for compliance with the certification conditions of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) for the U.S.A. and Canada.
Function and application Function overview The OVEM is a vacuum suction nozzle with digital transmission of setpoint and actual value as well as diagnostics and parameterisation options. Configuration is carried out via the operating keys. The dia gnostic messages are shown in the display.
The ejector pulse is generated after the signal change “Suction”. The duration of the ejector pulse can be set è Chapter 6.1. – Signal-controlled ejector pulse (only OVEM-...-1PD) The ejector pulse is generated via a control signal at the digital switching input (ejection) DI2. The eject...
