Average Color Menu - Banner iVu Plus TG Series Instruction Manual

Saved Patterns
Main Menu > Inspection > Sensors > Sort > Saved Patterns
Use the Saved Patterns screen to save a taught pattern to an empty pattern storage location or to overwrite an existing
pattern. Ten pattern storage locations are available. Patterns can be deleted from a storage location, named, or renamed
from this screen.
Percent Match
Main Menu > Inspection > Sensors > [Sensor Type] > Percent Match
Percent Match adjusts how closely the inspected part or label must match the reference part or label. The Percent Match
scale is from 0 to 100, where 0 is the most tolerant and 100 is the least tolerant. Move the slider to adjust the tolerance.
Rotation Range
Main Menu > Inspection > Sensors > [Sensor Type] > Rotation Range
Rotation Range sets the expected rotation of parts or labels during an inspection. For example, a value of 45 means that the
part may rotate 45 degrees in either direction from the reference part and still pass. Move the slider from 0 to 180 degrees.
Note: The smaller the rotation range, the faster the inspection will run.
Pass Criteria
Main Menu > Inspection > Sensors > Sort > Pass Criteria
Four options define the pass criteria for a Sort sensor inspection. The options are described below, using an example where
there are two saved patterns.
• Any Saved Pattern—Pass condition if the sensor matches either Pattern_1, Pattern_2, or both
• All Saved Patterns—Pass condition if the sensor matches both Pattern_1 AND Pattern_2
• Single Saved Pattern—Pass condition if the sensor matches either Pattern_1 OR Pattern_2, but not both
• Specific Saved Pattern—Pass condition when the sensor matches only Pattern_2 (requires selecting a saved pattern
to match, in this example, Pattern_2)
Timeout
Main Menu > Inspection > Sensors > [Sensor Type] > Timeout
When the sensor type is set as Match or Sort, use the Timeout screen to adjust the maximum time the inspection is allowed
to execute. A timeout error is reported in the case the inspection runs out of time. If this value is set too high, the sensor can
miss triggers while trying to detect a bad pattern.

9.1.5 Average Color Menu

Available on iVu Color models only.
Main Menu > Inspection > Sensors > AvgColor
Use an Average Color sensor to visually inspect a part by analyzing all colors in the Region of Interest (ROI) and reducing
them to a single set of color values, the average of the combined colors in the ROI. The Average Color sensor is used to
report which color, on average, is being seen by the sensor.
Example applications include:
• Differentiating between the colors of caps on bottles
• Sorting between dark blue and light blue items on an assembly line
• Matching burgundy trim pieces in automotive assembly
To configure as an Average Color sensor, set the following parameters:
