/SXMP C H MA LZ AFETY NSTRUCTIONS MPORTANT SYMBOLS This symbol indicates important information and instructions. Caution! This symbol indicates a potentially dangerous situation. If it is not avoided, slight or minor injuries may result. Danger! This symbol indicates an immediate hazard. If it is not avoided, death or serious injuries may result.
/SXMP C H MA LZ No person may sit or stand in the danger zone while the machine or system is in automatic mode. Components may be installed by trained specialist personnel only. Specialist personnel must be familiar with current safety rules and requirements. For example, these apply to the use of components such as solenoid valves and pressure switches as well as to controllers used in devices, machines and systems.
/SXMP C H MA LZ NSTALLATION AND OPERATION For safe installation and trouble-free operation, please observe and comply with the following points: The ejector may only be operated using 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.
/SXMP C H MA LZ RODUCT VERVIEW ENERAL DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS ACUUM GENERATION PICKING UP THE WORKPIECE The ejector is designed for vacuum handling of parts in combination with suction systems. The Venturi nozzle is activated and deactivated via the suction signal input. In the NO version, the Venturi nozzle is deactivated when the suction input signal is present.
/SXMP C H MA LZ 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 can be controlled externally or internally. When controlled externally, blow-off mode is activated by the “blow-off”...
/SXMP C H MA LZ ERSIONS Each ejector has a specific item designation (e.g. SXMPi-20-NO-H-2xM12). The item designation can be broken down as follows: Perfomance Pneumatic Additional Electrical Type Idle position class connection function connection SXPi Horizontal Normally open Pressure control 1xM12, 8-pin SXMPi Quick change...
/SXMP C H MA LZ LECTRICAL CONNECTION The electrical connection comes in two designs: one M12 connector with 8 pins or two M12 connectors with 5 pins each. Both versions have three signal inputs and three signal outputs as well as pins for the supply voltage.

/SXMP C H MA LZ ESCRIPTION OF UNCTIONS PERATING MODES The ejectors are differentiated according to their start position when in the idle state: NO (normally open), NC (normally closed) and IMP (impulse). When the ejector is connected to the power supply, the ejector is in automatic mode and ready for operation.

/SXMP C H MA LZ ENERAL FUNCTIONS ANUAL 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 result. Starting manual mode always switches the ejector to “pneumatically OFF”...
/SXMP C H MA LZ This automatic exiting of manual mode due to changes in external signals can cause the object being handled to move (due to suction or blow-off). UP MODE Similar to manual mode, set-up mode can be used to locate and rectify leaks in the vacuum circuit because the valve protection function is deactivated and because the control function is not deactivated even if the control frequency increases.
/SXMP C H MA LZ The threshold value HP1 and the corresponding hysteresis value can be set in the main [HP1] [hP1] menu under the menu items or via IO-Link. POINT ADJUSTMENT OF THE SENSORS CALIBRATION Because the internal sensors are subject to variations based on the manufacturing process, it is recommended to calibrate the sensors once the ejector is installed.
/SXMP C H MA LZ ONTROL WITH LEAK MONITORING This operating mode is the same as the previous mode, with the addition that the leakage rate within the system is measured and compared to the configurable limit value [-L-]. If the actual leakage rate exceeds the limit value more than twice in succession, the control function is deactivated and the ejector switches to continuous suction.
/SXMP C H MA LZ OFF MODES This function is used to switch among the three blow-off modes. [bLo] The function can be set in the configuration menu under the menu item or via IO- Link. XTERNALLY CONTROLLED BLOW The blow-off valve is controlled directly via the blow-off signal input. The ejector switches to blow-off mode for as long as the signal is present.
/SXMP C H MA LZ The three signal outputs can be switched independently using the menu items [o-1], [o-3] in the configuration menu, or via IO-Link. UTPUT TYPE The output type can be used to switch the signal outputs between PNP and NPN. All three signal outputs are switched together.
/SXMP C H MA LZ NCH OF The vacuum and pressure values are displayed in inHg. The setting for this unit is [-iH]. The pressure display is only available on ejectors with a pressure sensor (SX(M)Pi – xx – PC – xx). WITCH OFF DELAY FOR THE SIGNAL OUTPUTS This function is used to set the switch-off delay for the signal outputs.
/SXMP C H MA LZ A PIN is recommended because carrying out parameterization while the ejector is in operation can change the status of signal inputs and outputs. ESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS This function is used to reset the ejector to its factory settings. All switching points and configurations are reset to the factory settings.
/SXMP C H MA LZ OWER FAILURE All ejector types have an internal voltage monitor. If the supply voltage drops below the permitted threshold, the status of the ejector changes as follows: EJECTOR TYPE The ejector switches to suction mode EJECTOR TYPE The ejector switches to “pneumatically OFF”...

/SXMP C H MA LZ IAGNOSTICS ANALYSIS FUNCTION The SXPi/SXMPi measures the leakage rate in the vacuum system during every suction cycle. The ejector measures the drop in the vacuum per unit of time. This function is a unique tool for evaluating the leak-tightness of the entire system. The measured leakage value falls within one of four leakage ranges (see table).
/SXMP C H MA LZ The functions described below have no effect on the status indicator or the outputs. They are only for use via IO-Link VALUATION OF THE LEAKAGE RATE Similar to the diagnostics/analysis function (DAF), this parameter outputs the range of the average leakage during the last suction cycle.
/SXMP C H MA LZ BSOLUTE AIR CONSUMPTION MEASUREMENT Ejectors with an integrated pressure sensor also offer an absolute air consumption measurement in addition to the percentual air consumption measurement. The actual air consumption of a suction cycle is calculated by taking into account the system pressure and the nozzle size.
/SXMP C H MA LZ The value is provided via IO-Link at the beginning of the next suction cycle. ERFORMANCE CALCULATION Similar to the quality assessment, the performance calculation is used to assess the system state. The measured dynamic pressure can be used as a measure of the performance of the gripper system.
/SXMP C H MA LZ PERATING AND ONCEPTS The unit is operated via four buttons on the foil keypad. Settings are made using software menus. The operating structure is divided into settings in the main menu and in the configuration menu. Configuring the ejector in the main menu is sufficient for standard applications.

/SXMP C H MA LZ PERATING All ejectors of the SX(M)Pi series have two operating modes. Users can choose between direct connection to inputs and outputs (serial I/O = SIO mode) or connection through the communication line (IO-Link). By default, the ejector always runs in SIO mode, but it can be switched in and out of IO- Link operating mode by the connected IO-Link master at any time.

An IODD file is required to incorporate the ejector into a controller. This is available for download at www.schmalz.com for the particular ejector type. If a Siemens controller is used, the IODD must be loaded using the PCT configuration tool and each IO-Link port must be configured.
/SXMP C H MA LZ TART OF OPERATIONS The ejector is always in SIO mode after the supply voltage is applied. IO-Link communication is only established after a wake-up signal from the master. In order for the IO-Link master to establish communication, output OUT1 must be inactive and the ejector must be set to signal type PNP.

/SXMP C H MA LZ ARNINGS AND ERRORS ARNINGS Warnings, especially those that are the result of condition monitoring functions, provide information about the state of the vacuum system and the current handling cycle.
