Operating Modes 6 Operating Modes All the ejectors in the SCPSi-L series can be operated in two operating modes: • Via direct connection to inputs and outputs (standard I/O = SIO) or • Connection via a communication line (IO-Link) By default, the ejector always runs in SIO mode, but it can be switched in and out of IO-Link mode by an IO-Link master at any time.
Operating Modes 6.2.1 Process Data The cyclical process data is used to control the ejectors and receive current information reported from the ejector. There is a difference between the input data (Process Data In) and the controlling output data (Process Data Out). The input data Process Data In is used to report the following information cyclically: •...
General Description of Functions 7 General Description of Functions 7.1 Picking up the Workpiece (Vacuum Generation) The ejector is designed for handling and holding workpieces by means of a vacuum in combination with suction systems. The vacuum is generated in a nozzle according to the Venturi principle, using suction generated by the flow of accelerated compressed air.
General Description of Functions • Externally time-controlled blow off The current process state is indicated by the LED status indicators. During blow off, [-FF] is shown on the display. 7.3 Operating Modes The ejector can be operated in four operating modes: •...
General Description of Functions Activating the Operating Mode Press and hold the button for more than 3 seconds. An M appears on the display while you do The current process state is retained. Manual suction button activates “suction” on the ejector. Press the button to exit the “suction”...
General Description of Functions Operating mode Explanation No control/continuous suction, H1 The ejector produces continuous suction with maximum in hysteresis mode power. This setting is recommended for very porous workpieces, which would otherwise cause vacuum gener- [ctr] => [oFF] ation to switch on and off continuously due to the high rate of leakage.
General Description of Functions Description Explanation The blow off signal overrides the suction signal, even if the specified blow off time is very long. The length of the blow off time [tbL] is set in the main menu. This menu item is suppressed in operating mode [-E-].
General Description of Functions When the permissible limit is exceeded by ±3%, error code E03 will appear on the display. 7.10 Signal Output The ejector has a signal output. The signal output can be configured using the corresponding menu item. The signal output OUT can be switched between [no] (normally open) and [nc] (normally closed) con- tact.
General Description of Functions 7.13 Control Concept for NC Ejectors “Suction” [IN1] “Blow off” [IN2] “Suction” state 0 bar “Blow off” state 0 bar 7.14 Vacuum unit You can choose between the following three units for the unit of the displayed vacuum level under the [uni] menu item in the configuration menu or via IO-Link.
General Description of Functions If you activate ECO mode using IO-Link, the display will immediately enter energy-saving mode. 7.17 Write Protection A PIN can be used to prevent the parameters from being changed via the user menu. The current settings are still displayed. The PIN is set to 000 on delivery. meaning access to the parame- ters is not locked.

General Description of Functions This warning is available at the end of the current suction phase and remains active until the next suction cycle. Measuring and monitoring the evacuation times: t0 is the time from the beginning of a suction cycle to when the vacuum limit value H2 is reached (in ms). t1 is the time from when the vacuum limit value H2 is reached to when the vacuum limit value H1 is reached (in ms).
General Description of Functions Leakage L < permitted value -L- Leakage L > permitted value -L- If the leakage is lower than the set value, the If the leakage is higher than the value, the vacuum continues to fall until it reaches the ejector readjusts immediately.
General Description of Functions An absolute air consumption measurement can be made only using a pressure value supplied externally via IO-Link. The measured value for the absolute air consumption (air consumption per cycle) is reset at the start of suction and then continuously updated during the cycle. It can continue to change until after the end of blow-off.
General Description of Functions 7.25.4 Diagnostic Buffer The condition monitoring warnings described above and the general error messages from the device are saved in an integrated diagnostic buffer. The content of this memory is made up of the last 38 events, starting with the most recent, and can be read out via an IO-Link parameter.
