Table 1. Track Sensor Setup Items
ITEM |
DESCRIPTION |
---|---|
Enable Sensor |
Specify whether to use the displayed sensor task. To use this sensor task, select F4 [YES]. Not to use this sensor task, select F5 [NO]. |
Use Vision |
When using a camera to detect workpieces on the conveyor, select F4 [YES]. When using a sensor other than a camera, such as a photoeye sensor, select F5 [NO]. |
Vision Process Name |
When detecting workpieces on the conveyor by using a camera, enter the name of a vision process to be executed for detection. |
Trigger Type |
Select a trigger type. DIST Each time the conveyor moves a specified distance, the vision process is executed once to detect a workpiece on the conveyor. For a sensor task that does not use the vision system, this item cannot be selected. DI Workpieces are detected by a sensor such as a photoeye sensor installed in the conveyor. Usually this item is specified for a sensor task that does not use the vision system, but this trigger type can also be used with the vision system. In such a case, a DI input causes the vision process to be executed once to detect a workpiece on the conveyor. HDI Workpieces are detected by a sensor such as a photoeye sensor installed in the conveyor. HDI is more accurate than DI, but only one input can be used per controller. |
Trigger Distance (mm) |
When [DIST] is selected in [Trigger Type], specify the distance in mm the conveyor needs to move to execute the vision process one time. |
Trigger input |
When selecting [DI] in [Trigger Type], specify a DI number. |
Line Name |
Specify the name of a Line through which information about workpieces detected by the sensor task is input. |
Tray Name |
When Workpieces are Trays, specify the name of a Tray pattern. |
