Features - Mitsubishi MELFA 4D-2CG5100-PKG-E Instruction Manual

1 Summary
1.2. F eatures
The network vision sensor has the following functions.
(1) Position detection through high-speed image processing
・High-speed image processing makes it possible to detect the work at high speed, not only when the
angle is not detected, but even when the work includes 360˚ rotation.
① When the angle is not detected
② When detecting 360˚
* Measurement conditions
* These values are reference values. These values are not guaranteed.
(2) Ethernet communication
・ Since the system can be configured with an Ethernet network, a wide variety of system
configurations can be realized.
① Up to seven vision sensors can be controlled with one robot controller.
② Up to three robot controllers can share control of one vision sensor.
③ Systems can be configured with multiple robot controllers and multiple vision sensors.
④ Both robot controller and vision sensor can be debugged using one PC.
・"MELFA-Vision Network Vision Support Software" has image log functions, so it is possible to
check the image state when an error occurred.
(3) Easy setting
・Connect a vision sensor by just connecting the Ethernet cable and the power supply cable. At the
robot controller, just connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet interface card.
・The vision sensor and robot controller settings can be made simply with MELFA-Vision.
(4) Easy robot program calibration
・The program can be made easily with MELFA-BASIC IV commands available for vision sensor
exclusively.
① "NVOPEN" command that connects the robot and vision sensor line
② "NVPST" command that starts the vision program and obtains the results
③ "NVCLOSE" command that cuts off the robot and vision sensor line
・This system is equipped with a simple calibration function that can handle a variety of camera
installation positions.
(5) Space saving, wiring saving
・Since the vision sensor combines the camera and controller in one piece, the only wiring needed is
the Ethernet cable and power supply cable, so wiring does not take up space.
(6) Easy maintenance
・It is possible to store recognized images on a PC with MELFA-Vision running, to check the image
when an error occurred, and to find the cause of the error easily.
