I/O Coupling:General Presentation and Nomenclature
The Robotiq I/O Coupling isa robotic peripheral designed to allow a direct connection of the Robotiq 2F-85 & 2F-140 Grippers to
the Universal Robots CB-Series tool flange. It removes the need of any cable management and avoids downtime caused by cable
issues. The robot sends I/O signalsto the coupling which sends Modbus RTU commandsto the gripper based on four possible
presets. The presets are determined by the I/O signals.
