Basic Operation Flow
Mounting, connecting, and wiring the sensor and monitor
Mount the sensor and monitor, and then connect and wire the cable.
“Chapter 2 Installation and Connection” (Page 2-1)
Turning on the power
Turn on the power of the sensor and monitor, and then perform the initial startup setting.
“Operation when the Power is Turned on” (Page 3-5)
Settings Navigator
Create the program to be used for operation in [Settings Navigator] (Sensor Setup).
STEP 1: Setting of image optimization
Set the image optimization for clearly imaging a target. Adjust the image for
dening the differences in the high and low-quality-target.
Set the trigger option, and adjust the brightness and imaging focus.
“1. Image Optimization (Clearly Image a Target)” (Page 4-6)
STEP 2: Registration of a master image
Image the high-quality-target and register the master image to serve as the
reference of judgment.
“2. Master Registration (Registering an Image as a Reference for Judgment)”
(Page 4-20)
STEP 3: Tool setting
Set the tool to judge a target.
Set the tool onto the master image and set the threshold for judgment. Up to 16
detection tools and 1 position adjustment tool in one program can be set.
“3. Tool Settings (Setting the Judgment Method for Targets)” (Page 4-28)
STEP 4: Output assignment
Assign the function to output to each output line (OUT1 to OUT4).
“4. Output Assignment (Setting Details of Outputting to Output Line)” (Page 4-60)
Starting the operation/adjustment
Switch the settings screen to the run screen, and start the operation. If the setting is
inappropriate, adjust the thresholds and tool settings (Tool Auto Tuning).
