Make sure that the connecting tool and the gripper
do not cause any danger when the power is cut, such
as dropping of the work-piece from the tool.

Digital Output
The digital output is implemented in the form of NPN with an open
collector (OC). When the digital output is activated, the corresponding
connector will be driven to GND. When the digital output is disabled, the
corresponding connector will be open (open collector/open drain). The
electrical specifications are as follows:

Tool Digital Output Usage
The following example illustrates how to use the digital output. As the
internal output is an open collector, the resistor should be connected to
the power supply according to the load. The size and power of the
resistor depend on the specific use.
There is no current protection on the digital
output of the tool, which can cause permanent
damage if the specified value exceeded.
