F.62 Program Fiducial ON/OFF Control
Turning fiducials ON or OFF is controlled solely by the SECS/GEM host. There will be no user interface other than the configuration editor.
There are two levels of control: Workpiece fiducials may be turned ON or OFF.
Patterns enabled for SECS/GEM control may have their fiducials turned ON or OFF. Turning fiducial finding ON or OFF by individual pattern name or by
lane number will not be supported.
Vision “pipelining” must be turned off. If “pipelining” is active, the SECS/GEM host will not have the capability to turn ON or OFF fiducials. This
should not be a concern as pipelining should not be used when running with dual lanes.
When fiducial finding is turned OFF, the workpiece and/or pattern(s) will not be translated or rotated – the parts will be dispensed on in the same location
and orientation in which they were taught.
The SECS/GEM host will have the ability to change fiducial finding from ON to OFF and vice versa between carriers while production is running. The
change will not take effect until the carrier(s) currently being processed have finished and the next carrier(s) have arrived at the dispense station.
Pattern Fiducials
Patterns with fiducials that will be turned ON or OFF by the SECS/GEM host must have SECS/GEM control of fiducial finding enabled. All enabled
patterns will be controlled by a single equipment constant.
If SECS/GEM control is not enabled, the pattern will ignore SECS/GEM host control and will always find fiducials. This allows individual selection of
those patterns that should always find fiducials and those that should be controlled by the SECS/GEM host.
