7.5.1 Supported devices
GRIPLINK supports a range of IO-Link based automation components. The command unifiers required to op-
erate a compatible device are part of the GRIPLINK firmware and already installed on the GRIPLINK controller.
In the basic version, GRIPLINK supports all devices from WEISS ROBOTICS. An additional li-
cense is required to use compatible third-party devices. The list of GRIPLINK-compatible de-
vices can be found under
www.griplink.de/devices
Third party devices can only be used with activated license (OPT-GL-3RDPARTY).
sales@weiss-robotics.com for more information.
Gripping modules
GRIPLINK -compatible gripping modules use the device state to display the current state of the gripping pro-
cess. The device state changes according to the action being performed.
More actuators
Other GRIPLINK-compatible actuators, such as vacuum grippers and rotary or linear axes, are handled in the
same way as gripping modules. For the respective scope of functions, refer to the documentation belonging
to the actuator module.
