5 Product description
CAUTION
Reduction of the gripping force can cause personal injury and material damage
When exible components are gripped, the gripping force of the product is reduced.
Reduced gripping force can lead to personal injury or material damage, because the components that are being
gripped can no longer be securely gripped and transported.
NOTICE
►Make sure that the setting of the gripping force and the selection of the gripper nger length are correct to
prevent incorrect bracing of the gripper jaws.
ÖAn incorrect conguration or selection can lead to malfunction

6 Functional description
The gripper jaws of the product are arranged parallel to each other on two opposing guide rails and can be moved relative
to each other.
The force of the motor is transmitted by a worm drive. A pinion and a rack generate the movement of the gripper jaws and
synchronize these movements.
Despite its small installation space, the product is suited for gripping a wide range of form-t and frictional t parts.
The product can be controlled like a valve via I/O ports or via IO-Link.

10.2 Safe shutoff for products with IO-Link
INFORMATION
For safe shutoff for IO-Link products, two contactors are switched in series with one auxiliary contact each. Here,
the auxiliary contacts monitor the status of the contactors. If one contactor does not switch, the second contactor
ensures safety. The malfunction can still be detected using the contacts.
The following example corresponds to control category3 and the PLD can be reached in any case. A PLE in control
category4 can be reached only if S24V is also shut off with two channels and with error monitoring, similar to the example
above. The product cannot carry out a hazardous movement.

NOTICE
Without an externally fed power supply,the motor of the product cannot carry out an active movement and thus
cannot carry out a hazardous movement.
There is no galvanic isolation between the two voltage supplies (signal and power). There is a low-voltage
connection via ground (GND).
Because of the self-locking mechanism, the product remains in the last approached position, even if no power is
supplied.

10.7 Static charge
CAUTION
Material damage from static charge
Material damage can result from contact of ESD-sensitive parts with the product.
►It is mandatory to ground the gripper ngers.
Grounding is also recommended in applications that require high EMC shielding.
The movement of the gripper jaws creates low voltages as a result of static charging. These charges cannot be dissipated if
the product is mounted on an insulating surface and if discharge is also not possible through the workpiece.
10.8 Heat dissipation
In the event of high ambient temperatures, the product must be installed on heat-dissipating materials.
If the product is operated under very high ambient temperatures and with fast clock cycles on an ongoing basis, this might
reduce its service life.
INFORMATION
The product must always be mounted on materials that dissipate heat.
If the product is operated under very high ambient temperatures and with fast clock cycles on an ongoing basis,
this might reduce its service life.
ÖThe cycle time must therefore be reduced as the temperature increases.
10.9 Installing accessories
NOTICE
Before installing an accessory, make sure it is suitable for use with the selected variant.
►You can nd information on our website.
►Please contact Zimmer Customer Service if you have any questions.

11.1 Restarting the GEP2000IO-05 and GEP2000IO-00
NOTICE
►Make sure that there is no signal present at Pin 1 and Pin 2 when the product is restarted.
• Requirement for a cold start: Pin 2 and Pin 4 = 0 V
ÖThe product is ready to operate when the green LED lights up.
ÖThe product can be moved a few milliseconds after voltage is supplied.
11.2 Switching sequence of GEP2000IO-05 and GEP2000IO-00
A movement in the desired direction occurs when the corresponding signal is at a high level. After a high level is detected,
the gripper movement occurs until the gripping process ends.
►Reset the corresponding signal after the movement is complete. The signal must be reset before a signal is emitted in
the opposite direction.
►Observe a break time of 10 ms between the reset of the signal and the next command.
INFORMATION
The switching sequence only applies to the digital versions of the GEP2000 series.
• GEP2000IO-00
• GEP2000IO-05
The current jaw position is scaled from 0 V to 10 V and is issued via PIN 5 (analog output).

11.3 Switching sequence of GEP2000IO-05 and GEP2000IO-00 for teaching-in the end position
This function can be used to teach in the end positions of the product.
►Make sure that both input signals are switched for 5seconds after a restart.
ÖThe product opens and closes several times and then stays open.
ÖThe factory default settings are "BasePosition" and "WorkPosition."
ÖTeaching in the end position again prevents the product from being unnecessarily energized when it is in the end
position.
►In the case of a mechanically limited end position, teach in the end position again.
