Function Specifications of Vision Sensor Functions
FQ-M-series Vision Sensors
Note: Supported only by the Sysmac Studio version 1.01 or higher.
Simulation
Executing simulations A project file on the computer is virtually executed to debug it.
Setting and clearing
breakpoints
Breakpoints can be set at the specified positions in a subroutine.
Synchronized simulation
with Controller Simulator
Sequence control and NA-series PT operation, such as displaying pages and subroutine operation,
is simulated together to debug the application in the NA-series PT.
Monitoring
information
Setting clock information The clock information in the NA-series PT can be checked and set.
Communications
Going online with NA-series PT
The computer can be placed online with the NA-series PT. However, information in the NA-series PT,
such as the values of variables, cannot be read.
Upgrading system program
When the Sysmac Studio is online with the NA-series PT, the system program in the NA-series PT
can be upgraded as required.
Print *1 Printing Settings of each project can be printed out.
Security
Preventing malfunctions
If the name or serial ID of the project and the NA-series PT are different when the Sysmac Studio goes
online, a confirmation dialog box is displayed.
Preventing incorrect operation You can prevent data in the NA-series PT from being overwritten from the Sysmac Studio.
Item Function
Setting Parameters
−
Main Edit
General Settings Displays and sets basic information of the sensor.
Sensor connection
Changes the connection status of the Sensor, and sets the conditions for communications with the Sensor.
Sensor control in online Performs various controls for the sensor mode change, data transfer/save, and monitoring.
Sensor error history Displays and clears the error history of an online Sensor.
Tool
Restarts and initializes the sensor, updates the firmware of the sensor, reads sensor data from a file,
saves sensor data to a file, prints the sensor parameters, and displays help.
Scene data Edit
Image condition Settings Adjusts the image condition.
Specifies the calibration
pattern
Sets a registered calibration pattern.
Registers inspection item
Registers the inspection item to use in the measurement.
You can select from the following inspection items:
Edge position, Search, Labeling, Shape search
Calculation Settings
Makes a setting for basic arithmetic operations and function operations using inspection item
judgment results and measurement data.
Logging Settings Makes a setting for logging measurement results of inspection items and calculation results.
Output Settings Makes a setting for data to output to external devices.
Run Settings Switch Sensor modes or monitors measurement results.
Sensor system
data Edit
Trigger condition Settings Sets the trigger type and image timing.
I/O Settings
Sets the conditions of output signals.
You can check the status of I/O signal while online.
Encoder Settings
Make settings for the encoder such as common encoder settings, ring counter settings, and encoder
trigger settings.
Ethernet communication
Settings
Makes Ethernet communication settings. You can select data communication from no-protocol data,
PLC link data, and programmable no-protocol data.
EtherCAT communication
Settings
Makes the EtherCAT communication settings according to the communication settings of the
EtherCAT master.
Logging condition Settings Sets the conditions to log to the internal memory of sensor.
Sensor Settings
Makes the settings for startup scene control function, password setting function, and adjustment
judgment function.
Calibration Scene Data Settings
Calculates, views, and edits the calibration parameters. The Vision Sensor supports general-purpose
calibration and calibration for conveyor tracking.
Debugging
Offline debugging of
sensor operation
Simulates measurements offline without connecting to the Vision Sensor. You can use external image
files and perform measurements under the conditions set in the offline settings, then display the
results of those measurements.
Offline debugging of the
sensor control program
and sensor operation
Performs a linked simulation between the sequence control of an NJ/NX-series CPU Unit or NY-series
Industrial PC and the operation of an FQ-M Sensor in EtherCAT configuration systems.
This allows you to debug operation offline from when measurements and other processing are
performed for control signals such as measurement triggers through the output of processing results.
