How to operate a vacuum gripper using CPRog and the Modular Control Electronics
From Wiki
In general all grippers are controlled via a DIO module on the DIN rail. Normally a single DIO module is supplied with the modular control electronics for e.g. igus robolink arms or igus gantries.
Electrical Integration
Digital Outputs
- Connect the supply pin to 24V power supply
- The supply is forwarded to one of the outputs pins via reed relays
- Connect a valve or another component to the output pin
- Connect the component to GND to close the electrical circuit
- See the example with the lamp on output 5 on the left.
- In CPRog:
- Reset and Enable the robot
- Set DOut 25 to true to switch on the lamp
