Basic Operations Basic Operations This section describes the basic flow of operations up to the setting of mea- surement conditions and executing measurements. The explanation is based on the use of the Fine Matching processing item for the measurement method.
Page 37: Step 1: Settings For Image Input
STEP 1: Settings for Image Input To set the inspection conditions, change first to Set Mode. When Set Mode is entered, the default processing item for unit 0 will be “Cam- era image.” The conditions for inputting images are set under this processing item.
Page 38 The Controller has two image memories. Two images, Image 0 and Image 1, are stored for the camera image selected under Select Camera. Both images are for the same Camera but different filtering can be applied to each of the images.

Page 40 The light level for each segment is displayed in a 5- or 8-digit value, with each digit representing the light level of one of the segments. The light levels are displayed from 0 to 7, with 0 indicating that the light is OFF. The higher the set- ting, the higher the light level.
Page 41 Basic Operations Adjustment Method 1: Sample Lighting Patterns There are 15 lighting patterns registered in advance. The lighting can be set simply by going through the different patterns in order and selecting the one that gives the clearest image. Use the SHIFT+Left and Right Keys to switch between sample patterns.
Page 42 Use the Left and Right Keys to select the segment to be adjusted and use the Up and Down Keys to adjust the light level. F150-LTC20, F160-LTC20 F150-LTC50, F160-LTC50 Select Camera settings.
Page 43 CHECK For fine adjustment of light levels, move to the desired segment using the Right and Left Keys and adjust the light level using the Up and Down Keys. Press the ENT Key. The setting will be registered and the screen in (1.) will return.
Page 44 Section 1-6 Basic Operations Note Switch camera only switches between the images saved to Image 0 and Image 1 from the image buffers. New images cannot be sent to the image buff- ers using this processing item. Select Select camera.
Page 45 The Frame/Field function is used to select the unit for one image. Normally, it is sufficient to use the default setting of Frame. If the unit is changed to Field, the resolution in the vertical direction is halved but the image input time is reduced, allowing faster processing.

Page 48: Step 3: Setting Measurement Methods
The registered image for an acceptable product and the input image are over- laid (matched) and the differences are detected. This enables small defects in the pattern and writing on the measurement object to be detected with a high level of accuracy.
Page 49 Select Fine matching. Fine Matching will be set for unit 1. CHECK If processing items are set for units after the unit to which Fine Matching has been set, care must be taken when manipulating images. Refer to page 1- (57).
Page 50 Section 1-6 Basic Operations 1-6-3-1 Selecting the Method for Matching with Model This section describes how to select a matching method suitable for the mea- surement object. Measurement conditions Boundary inspection: Defect inspection : Labeling Color for defects (Both*, white, black)
Page 51 Only defects detected for both models will be judged as defects. The size of dilation and erosion can be set using the boundary level. The asterisk (*) indicates the default setting.
Page 52 • Labeling* One group of white pixels is detected as one label and one label that matches the set conditions will be evaluated to determine if it is a defect or not.
Page 53 Sorts in ascending order by center of gravity Y coordinate. (See note.) The asterisk (*) indicates the default setting. Note When X and Y center of gravity are sorted, the upper left corner of the screen is the origin. The coordinate system set under calibration will not be affected.
Page 54 1-6-3-3 Registering Models An image of an acceptable product is registered as the model. The image of the measurement object read by the Camera is compared with this model and defects are detected where there are differences from the model.

Page 58 Differential judgement values use the basic gradation of the differences between the model and measurement object images. Differential judgement values can be set between 1 and 255. Pixels in areas with a difference greater than the differential judgement value are converted to 1 (white) and all other pixels are converted to 0 (black).

CHECK More processing time is required to calculate the axis angle. To simply find the area and center of gravity, use a gravity and area measurement.

Page 851 Normal Serial Interface This section explains how to set the required communications specifications and the I/O format for using the Controller’s serial interface (with a RS-232C/ RS-422 connection or Ethernet connection) to communicate with an external device, such as a personal computer.
Page 852 Receive measurement results. Note When the Flow control is set to Xon/off and a response is not received from the computer within the specified timeout time, a timeout error will occur because the computer may be disconnected or malfunctioning. An error mes- sage will be displayed on the Controller's screen and the parallel interface's ERR signal will be turned ON.
Page 853 Section 6-2 Normal Serial Interface Multi-drop Connection (1:N) Branching Link Adapters can be used to connect up to 31 Controllers to a sin- gle host computer. CHECK When a multi-drop connection is used, the Controller will not output measure- ment results until a command to get measurement results is received from the host.

Page 856 Serial Communications Use the following procedure to set communications specifications such as the baud rate and data length. Set the same communications specifications in the Controller and the external device. Move the cursor to MON or RUN and press the ENT Key.
Page 857 Note a) RS-232C standards are not defined for speeds over 20 kbps. De- pending on the cable length, communications may be unreliable at speeds of 38,400 bps and higher when RS-232C is selected.

Page 861: Input Format (Normal)
Normal Serial Interface 6-2-2 Input Format (Normal) The following commands can be input from the host computer to the Control- ler. Common commands have abbreviations that are shown in parentheses. Unify the communications specifications in the Controller and external device before initiating communications.
Page 862 Input the delimiter at the end of the command. When multi-drop connections are being used, set the Controller’s unit num- ber (@01 to @31) at the beginning of the command. The response will be returned with the unit number at the beginning.

RS-232C standards are not defined for speeds over 20 kbps. Depending on the cable length, communications may be unreliable at speeds of 38,400 bps and higher when RS-232C is selected. If there are problems with communications, reduce the baud rate to 19,200 bps.

Page 992 Upper and lower threshold values (binary levels) are set and the parts of the density image that fall within that gradatiion range are converted to white pixels and the rest are converted to black pixels. The Controller uses the white pixels to measure the object.
Page 993 SYS/Conditions/Display settings. Center of gravity The center of gravity is calculated by regarding the white pixels as a sheet of thick paper of uniform thickness. The center of gravity is the point at which the sheet of paper would bal- ance when placed on a sharp point.
Page 994 Density images are the gray images of 256 gradations read by the Camera. Flow control Flow control is used to adjust the rate of data transfer. The receiving side notifies the send- ing side when it cannot keep up with the processing speed, causing the sending side to interrupt the transmission, and then the receiving side notifies the sending side when it wants the transmission to be restarted.
