1 Application
The vacuum generator type VN-...-P is designed for gener-
ating vacuum. With the vacuum generated, a force is built
up via suction grippers with which work items can be
transported. The integrated vacuum switch monitors here
the vacuum generated and provides electric signals.
The vacuum switch closes (switch element function NO:
normally-open) a current circuit when the programmed
switching pressure is reached. The switching element
function is preset at the factory. The VN-...-P is available
with different switching functions.

2 Safety conditions

Please note

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Improper handling can result in malfunctions.
Make sure that the following specifications are always
observed.

• Compare the maximum values specified in these oper-

ating instructions with your actual application (e.g.
operating media, pressures, forces, torques, tempera-
tures, masses, speeds, operating voltages, flow rates).

• Please comply with national and local safety laws and

regulations.

• Take into consideration the ambient conditions at the

location of use.

• Unauthorised product modification is not permitted.
• Remove dirt particles in the supply lines by blowing out

the tubing with compressed air. In this way you will pro-
tect the VN-...-P from premature failure or heavy wear
(see DIN ISO 4414, section 9.4).

3 Installation
The valve terminal can be fitted in any position. Do not
mount with the Edit button facing downwards in order to
avoid condensation gathering in the sensor.

3.1 Mechanical installation
• Fasten the VN-...-P with two M3 screws

3 in the

intended position, tightening torque max. 0.6 Nm.
We recommend that suitable washers be used.

3.2 Pneumatic installation
• Connect the QS6 plug connections for compressed

air

1 and vacuum 2 of the VN-...-P with suitable tub-

ing. We recommend that tubing type PUN-6 be used.

3.3 Electrical installation

Warning

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Use only power units which guarantee reliable
electrical isolation of the operating voltage as per
IEC/DIN EN 60204-1. Observe also the general
requirements for PELV power circuits as per
IEC/DIN EN 60204-1.

Please note

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Long signal cables reduce the immunity to interference.
• Make sure that the signal cable is never longer than

30 m. In this way you can avoid non-operate currents
caused by electromagnetic interference.

Please note

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

If there are electrostatic discharges on the device, the
digital switching output may in some cases be switched
for a brief period.

4 Commissioning
• Make sure that:

– nobody is standing in the positioning range of the

work item

– there are no objects in the path of the moveable mass

(e. g.: by means of a protective screen).

• Avoid long tubing and large volumes between the

suction grippers and the vacuum suction nozzle.
A large volume leads to long exhausting times and
possibly incorrect settings on the vacuum switch.

• Take into account accelerations, external influences,

etc. on the work item when setting the required holding
force.

Building up the vacuum:
• Pressurize the VN-...-P with an operating pressure at

pressure connection

1. A suitable vacuum will then be

generated at vacuum connection

2. The vacuum can

be set by modification to the operating pressure. The
work item must be held reliably against the suction
gripper by the vacuum generated.

Setting the vacum switch:
The setting of the vacuum switch for monitoring the
vacuum depends on the application.
• Switch on the operating voltage. The VN-...-P is in the

basic status.

Definition

Switching pressure SP

Vacuum at which the VN-...-P switches

Teach pressure TP

Vacuum at time of programming

Set the switching pressure in EDIT mode as follows:
1.Pressurize the VN-...-P with a teach pressure

(e. g.: TP1). The sequence of the teach pressures is not
important.

2.Press the Edit button

7 until the LED 6 begins to

flash.
When the button is released, the VN-...-P saves the first
teach pressure. The LED then continues to flash.

3.Pressurize the VN-...-P with the other teach pressure

(e.g.: TP2).

4.Press the Edit button

7 until the LED 6 ceases to

flash.
When the button is released, the VN-...-P saves the
second teach pressure and concudes the EDIT mode.
The relationship between teach pressure, switching
pressure and hysteresis is shown in the following table.
With the VN-...-O1-P the switching pressure is formed
from the average value of both teach pressures
(SP = 1/2 (TP1 + TP2)). With the VN-...-O2-P the higher
teach pressure becomes the switching pressure.

• Carry out a test run with various pressures to ascertain

whether the VN-...-P switches as desired.
The LED

6 lights up parallel to the programmed

switching behaviour.

Building up the vacuum:
• Block the supply of compressed air at connection

The vacuum connection

2 is exhausted via the silencer

4. The work item detaches itself from the suction
gripper.

5 Operation
Modifying the switching pressure, see chapter
“Commissioning”.
In the event of a power failure, the last setting of the
switching pressure will be saved.
