Festo MPS 404-1 Notice D'utilisation page 37

The Joining station combines the handling functions "inspection" and "joining".
The inspection function assigns certain properties to differently oriented workpieces by acquiring data
(actual values) and comparing them with predefined values (setpoints).
Depending on the properties determined, either a joining process is started or the workpiece is passed
through at the deflector. The workpieces have to be transported individually so that they do not get mixed
up and the joining process is not impaired.
Distance sensor output signals
The distance sensor supplies both an analog and a binary output signal. The binary
switching output can be adapted to the measurement requirement via a simple teach-
in process.
Thanks to the bus node expansions, the Pick&Place module can be used with various bus protocols
depending on the controller.
The station has been expanded for the MPS System 404-1 Industry 4.0 to include the RFID module.
