3.2Description of Functions
The SCM module enables simple control of up to two IO-Link grippers, with control via 12 digital inputs
and outputs from the perspective of the higher-level controller.
The SCM module is an IO-Link to a digital IO gateway that makes the IO-Link grippers easier to use.
For this purpose, the SCM module is configured with PC-based software and can then be operated with-
out the PC.
The PC is connected to the lower RJ45 socket using a conventional network cable for configuration or di-
agnostics via an Ethernet connection.

6.1Installation Instructions
WARNING
Risk of injury due to the unexpected movement of the plant or machine in which
the product is to be installed.
Risk of injury
4Switch off the machine’s power supply before performing any work.
4Secure the machine against unintentional activation.
4Check the machine for possible residual energy.
You must switch off the power supply for the electronics before assembly, installation and maintenance
work.
6.2Mechanical Assembly
The SCM module is intended to be mounted on a conventional DIN rail with a width of 35mm. The
mounting position can be upright on the DIN rail or suspended (DIN rail installed in the control cabinet).
Maintain a clearance of 5 cm for air circulation on the side of the SCM module ventilation slots.
6.3Electrical Connection
We recommend that you protect the device with a suitable miniature circuit breaker based on the ex-
pected current consumption and the cable cross-sections used.
NOTE
PINs 5/6 are subject to currents higher than 10A.
Damage to the device
4Provide adequate fusing to ensure that the device is subjected to a maximum of 10A.
The supply voltage for the sensors (US) and the supply voltage for the actuators (UA) are electrically iso-
lated and can come from different sources.

Start of Operations
EN-US · 30.30.01.02782 · 00 · 07/21 19 / 32
7Start of Operations
If the SCM module is wired correctly, the desired grippers are connected and the voltage supply is
switched on, the device starts up.
The POWER LEDs light up green, then status 1 and 2 on the basic module flash while the grippers are
searched for (depending on the last saved configuration for the SCM module).
7.1Connecting to the SCM Module
Connect the PC to the installed Schmalz HMI software JSG_IO_Link_HMI version 2.0.1.3 or higher. The
three control levels are located in the top left corner of the software window:
•[GUIDED SETUP] is a configuration level where the gripper is taught-in for the workpiece
•[EXPERT MODE] is a level where you can access all the gripper data
•[MONITOR OF DEVICE] is a diagnostics and monitoring level for monitoring the grippers during op-
eration
(1) You can click the [MAGNIFYING GLASS] (search) button to search for connected devices.
(2) You can click the[PORT] button to switch the two-port operating mode on the SCM module.

7.2Selecting the Gripper in the “Guided Setup”
All the found devices are displayed as tiles.
Click your required gripper to start the guided setup function and, in this example, teach in the ECBPMi
gripper for the workpiece.

Start of Operations
20 / 32 EN-US · 30.30.01.02782 · 00 · 07/21
7.3Configuration
The vacuum suction cup must be correctly positioned (in the ideal position) for the configuration to be
successful:
• It is positioned on a clean surface.
• It is resting fully on the workpiece.
• There is no leakage.
The configuration window initially displays important product information, such as the part number.
Now follow the instructions on the screen.
In the “guided setup,” progress is displayed via the white bar (1) in the lower area of the window.
In the left-hand side of the window, the green “Connected” checkmark shows whether the actuator volt-
age is connected.
1. Place your workpiece in the ideal position and click the “[SUCTION]” button (3).
(4) At this point, the vacuum value measured by the product is displayed on the workpiece.
If the value is 100mbar or more, the indicator in the bottom right corner of the window (2) turns green
and there is a holding force. You cannot click the button to proceed to the next step until the in-
dicator (2) lights up green.
