Omron F500 Datasheet

Vision Sensor
F500
Network-compatible
Sensor supports
everything from high-
precision detection to
production and
quality control
The F500 enables high-precision inspections and measurements in the factory and then goes
further to support easy construction of a production and quality control system for quality
traceability.
High-precision Sensing
1-million-pixel Digital Interface Camera
Clear images are obtained by greatly reducing noise in high-
resolution video signals.
User Customization for Even Simpler Operation
Various applications are supported through features like flow
menus that flexibly handle even complicated applications and
macros that enable user programming.
A Wealth of Algorithms to Achieve High-precision
Measurements
High-precision measurements are achieved through original
algorithms ideal for lowcontrast mark positioning, minute de-
fect detection, and much more.
Applications Software
Build Flexible Applications
The F500 provides OMRON's new menu system called Flow
Menus, which enable flexible measurements through menu
settings including multiple filtering operations and conditional
branches based on measurement results.
Easier to Use, Easy to Program
A Macro programming feature is provided to support mea-
surement functions by enabling screen customization, I/O in-
F500
Features
terface changes, measurement condition changes, and much
more. Macros can be easily programmed using a simple text
editor.
Storage for Production and Quality Control
Store inspection and measurement data for safe keeping.
Provide feedback to quality control data, or analyze the data
to improve quality. The stored data can be used in many
ways.
Large Storage Capacity
Approximately 200 images minimum can be stored right in the
Controller. Measurement images are stored without alteration
for future use, such as repeating measurements to check
measurement accuracy or attaching images to reports.
Remote Access and Operation
across a Network
Easily achieve a production and quality control system using
an IT environment that provides easy access to the production
site and operating status.
Remote Access and Operation
Data such as the operating status of the Vision Sensor and
images resulting from inspections can be remotely accessed.
Measurements, storage, and communications can be execut-
ed independently so that measurements will not stop even
during random remote access.
