4.1. Overview
The Robotiq Hand-E Gripper is controlled directly via Modbus RTU using a RS485 signal.
Tip
To test various gripper features such as object detection and force control, use the Robotiq User Interface. To download
it, go to robotiq.com/support, click on Select product > Hand-E Adaptive Gripper > [any robot brand] > Software >
Robotiq User Interface > DOWNLOAD ZIP.
Since the Robotiq Hand-E Gripper has its own embedded controller, you can use high-level commands such as "Go to requested
position" to control it.
Info

l Finger movement is always synchronized.
l Finger movement is initiated via a single "Go to requested position"command.
l Object detection is built-in. Operator is notified after an object is picked once the "Go to" command has been
initiated.
l In case of emergency, auto-release is engaged (open or close).
