/ SMP CH MALZ Use only the connections, attachment holes and attachment materials that have been provided. Carry out mounting and removal only when the device is in a disconnected, depressur- ised state. Do not sit or stand in the area in which the picked-up payload is transported. ...
/ SMP CH MALZ TART Installation and operation For safe installation and smooth operation, please observe and maintain the following points: The ejector may only be operated via power supply units with protected extra-low voltage (PELV). The system must incorporate safe electrical cut- off of the power supply in compliance with EN60204.
/ SMP CH MALZ Electrical connection The electrical connection of the ejector is made using 8-pin M12 male connector. The pin assignment is described in the “Technical data” chapter. The plug connectors may not be connected or disconnected when the system is live. ...

/ SMP CH MALZ General function description ACUUM GENERATION WORKPIECE PICK The ejector is designed for handling parts using a vacuum together with suction systems. The Venturi nozzle is activated by the "suction" signal input. On IMP versions, the "suction" signal input is evaluated for its pulse.
Page 12
/ SMP CH MALZ DEPOSITING THE WORKPIECE In "blow-off" mode, the vacuum circuit of the ejector is supplied with compressed air. This ensures that the vacuum drops quickly, depositing the workpiece quickly as well. "Blow-off" mode is activated by the "blow-off" signal input. "Suction"...
/ SMP CH MALZ Control concept for IMP ejectors Suction signal input Blow-off signal input Suction mode Blow-off mode IMP ejectors are set to “Pneumatically OFF” on delivery. The ejector only starts the suction procedure after a valid pulse is sent through the suction signal input. 3-14...
/ SMP CH MALZ Status display for system vacuum The ejector is equipped with a status display for the system vacuum and monitoring func- GREEN tions. System states are indicated in . The status display is updated after every suction cycle that is activated over the suction signal input. During conventional suction cycles, the status display is used to display the system vacuum level based on the H1 switching point.

/ SMP CH MALZ PERATING AND MENU CONCEPTS The unit is operated via four buttons on the membrane keypad. Settings are made using software menus. The operating structure is divided into settings in the basic menu and con- figuration menu. Setting of the ejector in the basic menu is sufficient for standard applica- tions.
/ SMP CH MALZ Manual mode The output signals may change during set-up in manual mode. Ensure that the machine or system does not start moving as a result. Personal injury or damage to the ejector could occur as a result. Manual mode is used for locating and eliminating leaks in the vacuum circuit.

/ SMP CH MALZ Setting of switching points for the air-saving function with [H-1] and [h-1] [H-1] [h-1] The deactivation value and hysteresis of the air-saving function are set using this function. [H-1] When the deactivation value is reached or exceeded, then the H1 LED is also switched on.
/ SMP CH MALZ Setting of switching points for the signal output with [H-2] and [h-2] [H-2] [no] [h-2] The activation value (when configuring the output) and hysteresis of the parts control signal output are set using this function. [H-2] When the value is reached or exceeded, then the H2 LED is also switched on.
/ SMP CH MALZ Zero-point adjustment (calibration) [CAL] The vacuum circuit of the system must be ventilated to the outer atmosphere before zero-point adjustment is made. A zero-point adjustment is made as follows: Press the button. Enter a valid PIN if the menu is locked. [CAL] ...
/ SMP CH MALZ Cycle counters [ct1] and [ct2] The ejector is equipped with two counters. Counter 1 is increased with each valid pulse on the suction signal input, and therefore counts the number of suction cycles in automatic mode. Counter 2 is increased with each switch of the suction valve. The switching frequen- cy of the air-saving function can then be determined from the difference between counters 1 and 2.
