Hello everyone,
I am new to Robotiq grippers, and I am currently trying to test a 2F-140 gripper without ribot arm while waiting for it to be available. My question is if it would be possible to control the gripper through user interface connecting to the I/O Wrist Coupling via USB to the computer using the pinout configuration shown in Figure 3-15 here.
The idea would be to use the M8 connector on the I/O Coupling to power the gripper and to connect through USB to the pc using a MOXA rs483 to usb converter.
Thanks in advance for the support.

You can power the IO coupling via the M8 connector and then control the IO coupling via USB using Robotiq client interface.
Make sure you have the correct wiring before applying power.
You also have to connect the micro USB cable to your PC. Make sure your cable is a USB cable with communication capability. Some time those cable only have power wires to charge electronics devices.
Here below are the details of the setup.
