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.
You can optionally adjust the gripping force to the workpiece by using the control system 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. 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.

10.5 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.
10.6 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
ÖThe cycle time must therefore be reduced as the temperature increases.
10.7 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.

11.2 IODD Import
►Import the IODD (device description) into the control system.
►Go to our website.
►Select the desired product.
►Download the corresponding .zip le via the Download IODD link.
ÖYou will need the .zip le for import into the control system.
ÖAs soon as the hardware conguration is complete and the IO-Link connection to the product is established, data will be
displayed in the process input data.
ÖSome control systems demand a byte swap to bring this process data into a logical sequence.
►Look at bit 6 (GripperPLCActive) in the StatusWord to determine whether a byte swap is necessary.
►Determine whether bit 6 is active in the rst or second byte of the StatusWord.
ÖBit 6 is active in the rst byte: The bytes already have the correct sequence.
►Continue with the commissioning.
ÖBit 6 is active in the second byte.
►Apply a byte swap, refer to the "StatusWord" section.
INFORMATION
The product is controlled via IO-Link by means of the cyclical process data as well as the acyclic service data with
a cycle time of 5ms.
►It is mandatory to verify the process data!
11.3 Handshake Data Transfer Method
The handshake method makes it possible to transfer the process data about the product. All process data described in the
following sections must be transferred with the handshake.
►Send the ControlWord = 0x0001 to the product.
ÖThe data transfer was started.
►Check the response of the product by using Statusbit 12 = TRUE (data transfer OK).
►Send the ControlWord = 0x0000 to stop the data transfer.
ÖThe data transmission is complete when the product sends back Statusbit 12 = DataTransferOK = FALSE.
INFORMATION
►For examples, refer to the "Quickstart Basic Parameters" section.

WritePDU DataTransfer
Bit 0: DataTransfer
When this bit is set, the product accepts the data transferred in the process data.
Bit 1: WritePDU
Setting this bit tells the product that it should write the current process data to the selected workpiece recipe.
Bit 2: ResetDirectionFlag
Setting this bit tells the product that the direction ag needs to be reset. This makes a repeated movement to a position
possible. This is logical during a switchover of workpiece recipes.
Bit 3: Teach
Setting this bit tells the product to save the current position as the TeachPosition in the selected WorkpieceNo. This only
works if there is no "0" that is transmitted in the workpiece number.
Bit 8: MoveToBase
Setting this bit tells the product to move toward the BasePosition.
Bit 9: MoveToWork
Setting this bit tells the product to move toward the WorkPosition.

Bit 10: JogToWork
Setting this bit in the ControlWord puts the product in jog mode and slowly moves it toward the WorkPosition. If the bit is
reset, the product stops.
Bit 11: JogToBase
Setting this bit in the ControlWord puts the product in jog mode and slowly moves it toward the BasePosition. If the bit is
reset, the product stops.
Bit 15: ErrorReset
This bit can be used to acknowledge all errors that can be reset. Whether an error can be reset is shown in the "Error
Diagnosis" section.
11.4.2 DeviceMode
INFORMATION
DeviceMode is used to select one of the following travel modes: universal operation, outside gripping or inside
gripping. Zimmer GmbH recommends DeviceMode63, 73 and 103.
Input Mode Description
63 Outside gripping with subsequent
current feed
Like Mode 60, but with an activated subsequent current feed
for a time of 500ms when the direction of movement is Work.
To achieve the best gripping results, the gripped workpiece
must be transported further during the subsequent current
feed.
73 Inside gripping with subsequent
current feed
Like Mode 70, but with an activated subsequent current feed
for a time of 500ms when the direction of movement is Base.
To achieve the best gripping results, the gripped workpiece
must be transported further during the subsequent current
feed.
103 Universal operation with
subsequent current feed
Like Mode 100, but with an activated subsequent current feed
for a time of 500ms in both directions.
To achieve the best gripping results, the gripped workpiece
must be transported further during the subsequent current
feed.
11 Activate jog mode. Product is in jog mode and moves slowly in the selected
direction as long as the respective bit is active in the
ControlWord.
50 Positioning mode Product moves in the PositionProle. The movement speed is
congured using the DriveVelocity parameter.
60 Outside gripping Inward with the desired gripping force and speed, outward at
high speed.
70 Inside gripping Outward with the desired gripping force and speed, inward at
high speed.
100 Universal mode Inside and outside gripping, both movements at the same
speed.
