Setting Up a DH Robotics AG Gripper

Setting Up a DH Robotics AG Gripper

Setting up your DaHuan (DH) Gripper with the Fairino Robot


To set up a DH gripper to communicate through the end of arm port, you will need:
- 1 DH Gripper
- 1 Fairino Robot
- 1 8pin->5pin adapter


Step1:
Connect the cable from the gripper to the adapter cable (provided in the AG gripper package if purchased from Devonics). The end of this adapter cable should be a 5-pin connector that will connect to the 5-pin port on the end of the Fairino Arm


Step2:
Power on the robot and navigate to the Fairino WebApp

Step3:
Find the "Initial"->"Peripheral" -> "Adapted Device"
Select "gripper equipment" from the drop down and choose "DaHuan" as the manufacturer.
Note: The gripper model may not match. That is okay! The register mappings for the AG are the same as the DH default device

Step4:
Click on "Configure"->"Active" to finish the set up. Now, you should see it in the right hand panel of your WebApp window.
