Item Function
Setting Parameters −
Main Editing
General Settings Displays and sets basic information on the Sensor.
Sensor Connection Changes the connection status of the Sensor, and sets the conditions for communications with the Sensor.
Online Sensor Control
Performs various controls for the Sensor (e.g., changing the mode, controlling internal logging, and
monitoring).
Tools
Restarts and initializes the Sensor, updates the firmware in the Sensor, recovers ROM data, prints the
Sensor parameters, and displays help.
Editing Bank Data
Setting Sensing Conditions Adjusts the light reception conditions for each measurement region.
Setting Task Conditions
Used to select the measurement items to use in measurements. You can select from the height, thickness,
or calculations.
The following are set for the measurement items: scaling, filters, holding, zero-resetting, and judgement
conditions.
Setting I/O Conditions Sets parameters for outputting judgements and analog values to external devices.
Editing Bank Data
Sensor Settings
Sets the following: ZW Sensor Controller’s key lock, number of displayed digits below the decimal point,
the bank mode, the analog output mode, and timing/reset key inputs.
Ethernet Communications
Settings
Sets up Ethernet communications and field bus parameters.
RS-232C Communications
Settings
Sets up RS-232C communications.
Data Output Settings Sets serial output parameters for holding values.
Monitoring
Senor monitoring Monitors the light-detection status and the measurement results of the sensor.
Trend monitoring Logs and monitors the measurement results that meet the specific conditions of the sensor.
Debugging
Offline Debugging of
Sensor Control Programs
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 a ZW Sensor in EtherCAT configuration systems.
This allows you to simulate the operation of signals when timing signals and other control signals are input
to the Sensor to debug the control logic offline.
Item Function
3D machine models −
Conveyor for
picking
Setting
This conveyor is for picking workpieces in a pick-and-place 3D equipment model that uses a Vision Sensor
and delta robots.
A workpiece is displayed at the specified coordinates in the field of vision of the Vision Sensor and the
workpiece is moved on a conveyor at the set speed.
Pick-and-place 3D
Equipment Model
Creation Wizard
Setup with a wizard
You can easily build a pick-and-place 3D equipment model that uses a Vision Sensor and delta robots.
You can select from configuration elements (such as one conveyor for picking, one conveyor for placing,
and two robots) and enter the required parameters in a wizard to complete the 3D equipment model.
Calibration parameter
output
Text output
The calibration parameters required in programming to operate a pick-and-place 3D equipment model are
output in ST program format.
Item Function
Project version control function You can control a project version in concert with the version control system (Git
TM
).
History
management
Showing the project log You can see the change history of project data in a branch, local repository, and remote repository.
Comparing projects You can compare specific revisions from the project change history.
Reverting a project You can restore a project to any revision.
Multiple-person
development
Developing a program
concurrently
You can develop controller programs per POU concurrently. The changes of concurrent development are
merged automatically.
Derivative
development
Creating a branch You can create and edit data derived from a master project.
Merging Changes in a branch are automatically reflected in the master data.
