🛠️ Application Area
The MSTKN-H-S14-HM-ETH-M12 socket holder is designed for industrial use and provides intelligent operator guidance with direct integration into Modbus-TCP networks.
The clear LED indicators at each slot visually guide and monitor correct tool removal.
🔧 Function & Control
The MSTKN Socket tray supports two flexible operating modes. Depending on the application, they enable either simple worker guidance with status feedback or direct access to all sensor and LED functions – ideal for integration into control systems of varying complexity.
1. Intelligent mode (2-byte I/O)
- Worker guidance via LED
- Tool removal status query
- Same logic as the 24 V I/O version
2. Direct-I/O Modus
- 1 byte per slot
- Direct access to sensor and LED states
- Flexible integration into existing control systems
