  • Page 5 ABOUT THIS MANUAL This user manual describes how to install Mecademic's MVK01 vacuum and I/O module kit onto Mecademic's MCS500 (R1) SCARA industrial robot arm and how to use it. You must read this manual thoroughly before installing or operating the MVK01.

  • Page 7: Introduction

    (R1) SCARA robot arm. The module essentially consists of a configurable vacuum ejector with a pressure sensor and circuitry for 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs. The MVK01 kit also comes with several accessories: three suctions cups, a mechanical adaptor, 4-mm (OD) tubing, and four cable connectors.

  • Page 11: Installing The Mvk01 Kit

    INSTALLINg THE MVK01 KIT 3. INSTALLINg THE MVK01 KIT The MVK01 module is designed for only one type of installation, underneath the base of the MCS500 R1, as shown in Figure 6. Make sure the MCS500 robot is powered off and the connectors on top of the MVK01 and on the bottom of the robot's base are unobstructed, before installing the MVK01 module.
  • Page 12 Do not remove the retaining rings from the spline shaft, as doing so will cause irreversible damage to the ball-screw spline assembly. Figure 8 shows the main dimensions of the suction cup holder. User Manual for the MVK01 Vacuum and I/O Module (for firmware 10.1)
  • Page 13 IN port on the MVK01 module. Then, cut the proper length of pneumatic tubing with 4-mm outer diameter and connect one end to the VAC port on the MVK01 module and the other to the push-in connector of the suction cup holder. Attach the tubing with a tie wrap to the rigid cable conduit of the SCARA robot as shown in Figure 9.

  • Page 14: Cabling The Inputs And Outputs

    CABLINg THE INpUTS AND OUTpUTS 4. CABLINg THE INpUTS AND OUTpUTS As already specified, the MVK01 provides 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs. Each group is divided into two sets, with its independent common terminal (Figure 10). By default, all inputs and outputs are normally open.
  • Page 15 Inductive loads such as relays and solenoids must include a flyback (freewheel) diode in the circuit as depicted in Figure 12 (right). Otherwise, the MVK01 will be damaged permanently by the high voltage spike at the release of the inductive load. User Manual for the MVK01 Vacuum and I/O Module (for firmware 10.1)

  • Page 16: Operating The Mvk01 Module

    OpERATINg THE MVK01 MODULE 5. OpERATINg THE MVK01 MODULE The MVK01 vacuum and I/O module is controlled in the same way as the MCS500. For example, you can control the vacuum using the commands VacuumGrip/VacuumRelease and configure it using the commands SetVacuumThreashold, SetVacuumPurgeDuration.

  • Page 17: Resets Of The State Of The Mvk01

    5.5. Resets of the state of the MVK01 If an activated robot with an MVK01 module becomes deactivated, the MVK01 retains its state (i.e., if it was generating vacuum, it will continue to do so, and all outputs will remain the same).
