Job Switching Using Inputs
BOA Spot can store up to 32 Solutions (job files) that can be loaded on demand via a
hardware switch. The switch uses the general purpose GPI1 & GPI2 inputs. A PLC, or
other hardware controlling device, sets a HIGH signal on the "job change" line (GPI1)
and sends a series of pulses on the "job select" line (GPI2) equal to the solution #. i.e.
solution 12 = 12 pulses.
The pulse train requires a 1 millisecond (1 ms) setup and hold time between any edge
transition. When a solution switch is detected, BOA Spot will abort the current
inspection (if running) and switch immediately.
To use the BOA Spot inputs for job switching, select the "Job Change" and "Job Select"
functions in the Input control setup panel as shown.
Note: OS 151209 or later, Hardware version 21414 or later, and Firmware version 1997
or later is required to support the "hardware switch" operation described on this page.
Note: Job switching is also supported through the software user interface and the script
tool. These methods are described later in this manual.
