6 Operation
6.1 Operation without software
When the electronic processor is connected to the power supply
for the first time, the electronic processor switch to the SAFE
operating mode. The two green LEDs Closed and Open flash for
two seconds.
If the LEDs do not light up, then
l
either the polarity of the voltage supply is incorrect and the
reverse polarity protection is active
l
or an output has short-circuited and the built-in short-circuit
protection has switched off the outputs, thereby also
deactivating the output LEDs.
– In this case, remove the output connector, eliminate the
cause of the short circuit and reconnect the output
connector.
l
Or the switching points are programmed so that the gripper is
opened further than is saved in the On<-->Off switching
point.
– In this case, remove the output connector, close the
gripper completely and reconnect the output connector.
6.1.1 Operating modes of the FPS-F5 electronic processor
The electronic processor has two different operating modes:
l
SAFE operating mode
– The SAFE mode corresponds to the software area.
Factory preset on the electronic processor.
l
EXACT operating mode
– The EXACT mode corresponds to the switching point in the
software.
Switching principle for the SAFE and EXACT operating modes:
Situation example:
A gripper with a 10 mm stroke is used.
The switching positions CLOSED, A, B, C and OPEN can be
programmed.
l
A: Part A = 4 mm
l
B: Part B = 5 mm
l
C: Part C = 8 mm
