General Description of Functions In manual mode, a higher level of attention is advisable because incorrect operation may cause gripped parts to fall, resulting in injuries. In manual mode, the “suction” and “blow off” ejector functions can be controlled independently of the higher-level controller using the buttons on the operating panel.
General Description of Functions 6.8.2 Output Function The signal output can be switched between [no] (normally open) and [nc] (normally closed) contact. To switch this setting, use the [out] parameter in the configuration menu. The function of the limit value H2 / h2 (“Part Present” check) is assigned to the signal output OUT. 6.9 Rotating the Display To allow different installation positions, the orientation of the display can be rotated by 180°...
