How to connect a new gripper on kuka

    Hello, I am planning to purchase a DH-robotics gripper for Kuka kr6 with KR C4 compact controller. I can't figure out how I should connect it (Gripperspottech installed). The AG-95 supports various protocols: TCP/IP, USB2.0, RS485, I/O, CAN2.0A, Ethernet (optional), Profinet (optional) and there is a protocol converter(CTS-B1.0).
    Is there any instruction or manual for such a case? Ask for any help.

    GripperTech is tech option used to setup and control grippers after they are mapped to robot I/Os. So to use GripperTech, first you need to get the robot to talk to it. And for that you may want to contact manufacturer for any examples. The simplest options would probably be to use converter with fieldbus that robot supports (EtherCat/ProfiNet).

    And while that will get you access to gripper I/O, there is a good chance that you may still need to do some programming yourself.

    1) read pinned topic: READ FIRST...

    2) if you have an issue with robot, post question in the correct forum section... do NOT contact me directly

    3) read 1 and 2

    Thanks for answer)

    Recently got an image using a converter. I will look for information on working with EtherCat, I/O protocols in WorkVisual
