The read device only needs to have NFC active and Internet access. • Another option is to communicate using the “Schmalz ControlRoom” control and service app. In ad- dition to pure read access, the app allows you actively write the parameters of the SCTMi via NFC.
Functions of the Compact Terminal and the Ejectors 6 Functions of the Compact Terminal and the Ejectors 6.1 Overview of Functions The SCTMi primarily consists of the bus module and between 2 and 16 ejectors. The various functions re- fer to either the bus module or the individual ejector, depending on the function. The SCTMi bus module has the following general functions, independent of the ejectors: •...

Functions of the Compact Terminal and the Ejectors 6.5 Block Access with Extended Device Access Locks (0x005A) In the extended device access locks parameter, there is an option to completely prevent NFC access or limit it to read-only function. The NFC lock using the extended device access locks parameter has a higher priority than the NFC PIN. That means that this lock also cannot be bypassed by entering a PIN.

Functions of the Compact Terminal and the Ejectors To protect the ejector and increase its service life, the ejector automatically deactivates the air saving function and switches to continuous suction if the switching frequency > 6/3 s (more than 6 switching op- erations within 3 seconds).
Page 54
Functions of the Compact Terminal and the Ejectors Vacuum H-10% Time If the leakage is lower than the set value, the vacuum continues to fall until it reaches the switching point H1-h1. The ejector begins to suck again (normal control mode). The condition monitoring warning is not activated and there is no effect on the system status light.
Page 55
Functions of the Compact Terminal and the Ejectors Leakage L > permitted value Vacuum H1 - 10% Time If the leakage is higher than the value, the ejector readjusts immediately. If the permitted leakage is ex- ceeded twice, the ejector switches to continuous suction. The condition monitoring warning is activated and the system status light switches to yellow.
Functions of the Compact Terminal and the Ejectors • Bus module LED flashes If there are undervoltages, the valves are no longer activated and the ejectors return to their basic set- ting: • NO ejectors switch to Suction mode. • NC ejectors switch to Pneumatically OFF mode.
Functions of the Compact Terminal and the Ejectors 6.8.2 Control Functions (0x006D) The ejector allows you to save compressed air or prevent a too powerful vacuum from being generated. Vacuum generation is interrupted once the configured switching point H1 is reached. If leakage causes the vacuum to fall below the hysteresis switching point (H1-h1), vacuum generation resumes.
Functions of the Compact Terminal and the Ejectors Internally Time-Controlled Blow-Off After the suction signal is switched off, the ejector switches to blow-off mode automatically for the set time. With this function, the blow-off signal does not have to be additionally controlled. The blow-off signal is given priority over the suction signal.

Damage caused by defective packaging or in transit must be reported immediately to the carrier and J. Schmalz GmbH. 7.2 Reusing the Packaging The product is delivered in cardboard packaging. The packaging should be reused to safely transport the product at a later stage.
Installation 8 Installation 8.1 Installation Instructions CAUTION Improper installation or maintenance Personal injury or damage to property 4 Prior to installation and before maintenance work, the compact terminal must be dis- connected from the power supply and secured against unauthorized restart! For safe installation, the following instructions must be observed: 1.
Installation 8.3 Instructions for the Pneumatic Connection CAUTION Compressed air or vacuum in direct contact with the eye Severe eye injury 4 Wear eye protection 4 Do not look into compressed air openings 4 Do not look into the silencer air stream 4 Do not look into vacuum openings, e.g.
Installation 4 For longer hose lengths, the cross sections must also be larger. If the recommended line cross section is too large due to how the line is routed (e.g. an energy chain or robot flange), the alternative compressed air connections can be used to provide additional compressed air.

Operation 9 Operation 9.1 Zero-Point Adjustment (Calibration) Since the sensors installed in the ejectors are subject to variants based on the manufacturing process, it is recommended to calibrate the sensors in the application environment in which the SCTMi will be used. The vacuum connections of all of the ejectors must be ventilated to the atmospheric pressure before a zero-point adjustment can be made to the sensors.
