Process Data Monitoring
IO-Link provides the current measurements for the following parameters, plus the lowest and highest values
measured since switching on:
•
For the vacuum [0x0040]
•
For the compressed air supply [0x0041]
•
For the supply voltage [0x0042]
The maximum and minimum values can be reset using the appropriate system command [0x0002].
The area gripper is not a calibrated measuring device. However, the values may be used as a reference
and for comparison measurements.

Production Setup Profiles
In IO-Link mode, the area gripper can store up to four different production setup profiles (P-0 to P-3). All important
parameter data for workpiece handling is stored in these profiles. The profile is selected by means of the process data
byte PDO byte 0. Thus parameters can be adjusted to suit differing process conditions.
The currently selected data set is displayed in the parameter data under “Production Setup.” This data set
corresponds to the current parameters that the area gripper is using, which can be viewed using the menu.
You can view the parameter data set (P-0 to P-3) that is currently in use in the slide show by pressing the
button.
In the default setting, the P-0 production setup profile is selected.
Then menus can only be used to adjust the profile that is currently selected via IO-Link.

Energy and Process Control (EPC)
In IO-Link mode, the energy and process control (EPC) function is available. It is subdivided into three modules:
•
Condition monitoring (CM): Condition monitoring to increase system availability
•
Energy monitoring (EM): Energy monitoring to optimize the vacuum system’s energy consumption
•
Predictive maintenance (PM): Predictive maintenance to increase the performance and quality of the gripping
systems.
