MOUNT AND POSITION THE DEVICE 2. When mounting the Smart-VS take into consideration these three ideal label posi- tion angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°, although the device can operate at any tilt and skew angle provided the object feature to be inspected fits into the Field Of View (FOV).
5. Long press (> 4s, until the red LED on HMI lights up) the HMI Button to start acquiring NO GOOD objects. The red LED and the red spot start blinking. 6. Place the NO GOOD object in front of the Aiming System. Check the Trigger LED. 4 SMART-VS...
HMI BUTTON CONFIGURATION 7. Short press (< 1s) the HMI Button to acquire the image. More than one NO GOOD object can be acquired. 8. Long press (> 4s, until the red LED on HMI lights up) the HMI Button to enter the auto- matic learning procedure (LEDs game).
If errors occur and the new Teaching is not finalized, the current job will not be over- written. In case of mistakes, the procedure can be aborted before entering the learning procedure by pressing the HMI Button for approx. 2 seconds until the HMI yellow LED turns on. NOTE 6 SMART-VS...

INSTALLATION MECHANICAL DIMENSIONS Smart-VS can be installed to operate in different positions. The two screw holes (M3 x 4mm depth) on the body of the device are for mechanical fixture. The diagrams below give the overall dimensions of the device and may be used for its installation.
INSTALLATION MOUNTING AND POSITIONING SMART-VS Using the Smart-VS mounting brackets you can obtain rotation on the various axes of the device as shown in the diagram below: Figure 13 - Positioning with Mounting Bracket 24 SMART-VS...
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Smart-VS can be connected through one of the available CAB-GDxx accessory cables. These terminate in an M12 17-pin connector on the Smart-VS side and 17 free leads on the other side. CAB-GDxx wires have the following functionalities: Figure 14 - M12 17-pin Power, COM, and I/O Connector...
An anti-disturbance filter, by default, is implemented in software on both inputs. The value can be changed through the software parameter Debounce Filter. See " Settings" or refer to the Settings section of the Smart-VS WebApp User’s Guide for fur- on page 13 ther details on these parameters.
Image acquisition starts on the Leading edge of the input trigger signal (default, can be changed to Trailing edge via Smart-VS WebApp). A Debounce time can be set on the Smart-VS WebApp to reject noisy trigger signals. Each trigger event corresponds to a Data Valid signal indicating that the Output signals can be sampled.

Ethernet interface. NOTE SENSOR-LIKE SETUP The Smart-VS is connected directly to the machine control system. An optional push-button is recommended if Teaching is frequently performed for prod- uct batch changes or if the device is not easily accessible.
In addition to the previous setup, a PC can be connected via Ethernet for initial configu- ration and occasional monitoring. A point-to-point Ethernet connection is recommended. A presence sensor or the machine electrical phase is necessary to trigger image acquisi- tion. Figure 17 - WebApp Setup 30 SMART-VS...
An Ethernet switch can be used to ease the connection, but a dedicated LAN is still rec- ommended, since the Smart-VS is configured with a fixed IP address. A presence sensor or the machine electrical phase is necessary to trigger image acquisi- tion.
