5 General Description of Functions 5 General Description of Functions 5.1 Picking up the Workpiece (Vacuum Generation) The ejector is designed for vacuum handling of airtight parts 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.
5 General Description of Functions 5.3 Operating Modes If the ejector is connected to the supply voltage, it is in automatic mode and ready for operation. This is the normal operating mode, in which the ejector is operated by the system controller. In addition to automatic operation, you can also use the keys on the ejector to change the operating state and switch to manual mode.
5 General Description of Functions Deactivating the operating mode 4 By pressing the MENU button or through an external state change by signal inputs. 5.4 Viewing and Setting Parameters The following ejector parameters can be set depending on the ejector variant: Ejector variant Standard Vacuum limit value H1 for the control...
5 General Description of Functions Setting Parameters The LEDs assigned to the parameters flash to indicate which value is currently being displayed or changed. Operating structure overview 1. Press the button to select the parameter to be changed: Press once => first parameter “Vacuum limit value H1” Press twice =>...
5 General Description of Functions 5.7 Signal Output The ejector has a signal output. The signal output is a normally open (NO) contact and cannot be changed. The signal output is switched on or off when the system vacuum is higher or lower than the relevant limit value.
5 General Description of Functions 5.12 Control Concept for NC Ejectors “Suction” [IN1] “Blow off” [IN2] “Suction” state 0 bar “Blow off” state 0 bar 5.13 Vacuum unit The vacuum level in the LED bar is shown as a percentage of the maximum possible vacuum. If the vacuum is outside the permitted range, the LED next to this bar flashes rapidly.

7 Installation WARNING By activating/deactivating the product, output signals lead to an action in the pro- duction process! Personal injury 4 Avoid possible danger zone. 4 Remain vigilant. NOTE Incorrect power supply Destruction of the integrated electronics 4 Operate the product using a power supply unit with protected extra-low voltage (PELV).
“Part Present” check signal output (H2/ Gray “Blow off” signal input When using Schmalz connection cable part no. 21.04.05.00080 7.5 Process Data During operation of the ejector, all input and output signals are connected to a controller, either directly or using intelligent terminal boxes.
7 Installation Process data OUTPUT Signal Symbol Parameter IN 1 Suction ON/OFF IN 2 Blow off ON/OFF 7.6 Start of Operations A typical handling cycle is divided into the following three phases: pickup, blowoff and idle. To check whether sufficient vacuum has built up, the limit value H2 is monitored by an integrated vacuum sensor during suction and output to the higher-level controller via OUT.
