Page 16: Description Of Functions
Description of Functions 5 Description of Functions 5.1 Control Scheme The controls of the ECBPMi are defined in such a way that, if both inputs are activated at the same time, blowoff has priority over suction. 5.2 Depositing the Workpiece The “blowoff” valve is controlled directly via the “blowoff” signal input IN2 in SIO mode. In IO-Link mode, the device changes to “Blowoff”... -
Page 17: Isdu Parameter Data
• Another option for communication is the “Schmalz ControlRoom” control and service app. This per- mits not only read access, but also active reconfiguration of the parameters via NFC. The Schmalz ControlRoom app is available at the Google Play Store. -
Page 18: Lifting The Workpiece
Description of Functions For the best data connection, place the read- ing device on the NFC symbol in the middle of the ECBPMi. The reading distance is very short for NFC applications. Determine the position of the NFC an- tenna in the reading device used. If parameters of the device are modified via IO-Link or NFC, then the power supply must subsequently remain stable for at least three seconds to prevent data loss. -
Page 19: Setting The Vacuum Limit Value H2
Description of Functions The current, minimum and maximum applied vacuum (since the supply voltage was applied) can be read from the “Vacuum value, live / Vacuum value, min / Vacuum value, max” parameters [0x0040]. The maxi- mum and minimum values can be reset with the command 0xA9 using the “System command” parameter [0x00002]. -
Page 20: Calibrating The Vacuum Sensor [0X0002]
Description of Functions In IO-Link mode, the aforementioned procedure for displaying and changing the vacuum limit value is used to display or change the value in the “Setpoint H2” parameter [0x0066] in the production setup pro- file P0. (This only corresponds to the currently valid vacuum limit value H2 if profile P0 has been activated using process data and the “Setpoint H2”... -

Page 22: Internally Time-Controlled Blowoff
Description of Functions 5.10.2 Internally Time-controlled Blowoff This function is activated via IO-Link with the “Internally controlled drop-off – time-dependent (I-t)” value. The “Blowoff” valve is automatically activated for the time period set as soon as the device leaves “Suc- tion” mode. This function makes it possible to save an output on the controller. The duration of the blowoff time is set via the IO-Link “Duration automatic drop off”... -
Page 23: Signal Type
Description of Functions When guiding a robot arm, it has proven more effective to use both hands. In this case, one hand grasps the ECBPMi so that both buttons are pressed and the other hand assists with the movement of the robot arm. 5.11.3 Signal Type The signal type can be switched between PNP and NPN. -
Page 24: Switch-Off Delay [0X004B]
Description of Functions 5.13 Switch-Off Delay [0x004B] You can use this function to set a switch-off delay for the H2 “Part Present” signal. This can be used to mask short-term fluctuations in the vacuum level of the vacuum system. The duration of the switch-off delay is set in IO-Link via the “Output filter”... -
Page 25: Counter(S)

Page 28: Monitoring The Supply Voltages [0X0042]
Description of Functions 5.17.4 Monitoring the Supply Voltages [0x0042] The ECBPMi has an internal voltage monitor. It requires a power supply of 24 V. If the voltage deviates outside a certain tolerance range, the ECBPMi enters an error state. The error state is shown on the LED ring and IO-Link (> See ch. Displaying Errors and Warnings, Page 26). No new suction cycle can be started as long as the error state is present. - Page 29 Description of Functions Vacuum [mbar] H1-h1 Start suction cycle Time [s] The specified value for the max. permitted evacuation time t1 can be set using the IO-Link (“Permissible evacuation time” parameter) [0x006B]. Setting the value to “0” (= off) deactivates monitoring. The maxi- mum permitted evacuation time setting is 9.99 s.
- Page 30 Description of Functions The “Permissible leakage rate” can be set via IO-Link using the “permissible leakage rate” parameter e.g. [0x006C]. Monitor Dynamic Pressure If possible, a dynamic pressure measurement is taken at the start of every suction cycle (vacuum during unobstructed suction).

Page 31: Energy Monitoring (Em) [0X009D]
Description of Functions 5.18.2 Energy Monitoring (EM) [0x009D] In order to permit optimization of vacuum gripping systems’ energy efficiency, the product provides a function for measuring and displaying the energy consumption. The electrical energy consumed by the device and by the valve coil (-n) during a suction cycle is measured and given in watt-seconds (Ws). The value can be read from the “Energy consumption per cycle”... -
Page 32: Production Setup Profiles
Description of Functions Performance Calculation [0x00A3] The performance calculation helps in evaluating the system status. The performance of the gripping sys- tem can be assessed based on the measurement of the dynamic pressure. Optimal configuration of gripping systems leads to low dynamic pressure and thus to high performance. Conversely, poorly configured systems achieve low performance. -
