KV-8000 Series

Fast investigation of causes

Isolating the cause of a problem is necessary for solving the problem quickly. The KV-8000 features a variety of functions for analysing mechanical, human, or program factors, which make up the majority of problems—ensuring quick troubleshooting investigation.

Prevent reoccurrences

If the cause of a problem is not understood and proper countermeasures are not implemented, reoccurrence will be likely. Identifying the underlying cause of a problem with the KV-8000's Machine Operation Recorder function can help prevent problems from happening again.

Conventional models: Equipment restart → Reoccurrence of problem

KV-8000: Investigating the cause → Equipment restart → No reoccurrence

Increased operation rate by preventing reoccurrence

Recording of various data

Records all devices, cameras, and events. All equipment data required for solving problems is recorded in chronological order.

Device

Record all device changes every scan. All device changes and ladder programs are recorded every scan time. Recording is performed just as if the ladder programs were being captured in real time.

Camera

Record all mechanical, workpiece, and human movements. The statuses of all equipment, workpieces, and mechanisms are recorded both before and after the problem occurred. Because the device is connected to the PLC, the ladder program status and the image captured by the camera are recorded in sync.

Event

Record external input history. In addition to PLC error and alarm information, touch panel operation history and all inputs from upstream/downstream PLCs and from the host PC are recorded. This ensures all history related to problems caused by hard-to-notice incorrect operations or external factors is retained.

One-step configuration of settings for solving various problems

One-step trigger setting: Recording a problem is as easy as setting a trigger. Whenever a trigger is input, all preceding and following device changes are automatically recorded. This eliminates the need to select and register a target device.

Ensure reliable recording of stoppages without alarms: Configuring a fixed recording time based on equipment cycle start is possible for any device that has stopped without an alarm being generated.

Playback

Linked playback of all recorded data

Records all devices, cameras, and events. Recorded data can be played back in sync.

Device

Tracked monitoring of the time axis. All recorded ladder programs can be played back at will. With all device changes being recorded, various monitoring functions can be used to check device statuses.

Check device statuses at any time, starting with when the problem occurred.

Device changes can be displayed as waveforms for at-a-glance recognition of timing deviations.

Camera

Linked video playback and ladder monitoring. Video captured both before and after a problem can be played back in sync with device changes. Having an accurate understanding of the situation makes understanding the cause of the problem much easier.

Video captured by the camera can also be separated as dialogues and resized as desired. Users can also change the frame rate and playback speed, making it possible to quickly check any operation.

Video captured by the camera can be displayed and synchronised by time with the waveform data. This makes it easy to see changes in status resulting from changes in the device.

Event

Time-based external input and operation history checking. The event/error history can be used to check changes in device values not resulting from programs. Easily identify incorrect operations from the touch panel or PC as well as incorrect settings.

This makes it possible to see changes in chronological order.

Checking device value changes is possible on a PC using the same screen data as the touch panel.

Various monitoring functions available:

Analysis

Impressive cause investigation time

Equipped with a mechanism that minimises time spent investigating the cause of problems.

Conventional problem analysis

Analysis using incredibly large ladder programs. The ladder programs of PLCs that control equipment are complexly related to a wide variety of other programs, including motor control, communication control, and error processing. Because of this, finding the cause of a problem can take a lot of effort.

Relation mapping

Automatic tree diagramming of locations related to the problem. Search/extract not only device and configuration changes related to the problem but also device rewrites from the touch panel, and create a tree diagram automatically. Causes can be investigated early just by following the block.

Relation mapping block information:

Efficient cause analysis

Utilise a variety of analysis tools to investigate causes in various ways.

Relation mapping

Automatic ladder extraction. Automatically extract related ladder programs by selecting a block within the relation mapping. This eliminates the need to search through large ladder programs, making it easier to find causes quickly.

Reduce debugging times: Relation mapping is also a useful tool in editor mode. See at a glance the scope to which the device being changed will be affected during debugging to help prevent programming errors.

One-click startup: In replay mode, one-click launching is possible from the icon in the operation bar. The interface ensures ease of use when investigating causes.

Quick identification of problems

Problem 01: With no record for reference, it's not possible to know what's going on.

Problem details:

KV-8000 Solution: Automatic recording makes understanding the situation easy.

Reliable record for reproducing and checking what happened: The KV-8000 records data whenever a problem occurs, allowing users to analyse the occurrence by reviewing the data obtained. This ensures accurate understanding of the situation even for problems that do not occur frequently.

Automatic recording of various problems: Recording data both before and after an error or alarm signal, and recording according to the cycle start whenever the equipment cycle ends, makes it possible to reproduce the exact moment an error stop occurred. This helps in discovering a solution to the problem.

Problem 02: Understanding programs created by others is difficult.

Problem details:

KV-8000 Solution: Analysing the cause is possible regardless of who created the program.

Extraction of only related devices: The devices related to an error can be extracted and automatically displayed in a tree diagram based on their relationships for easy visualisation. This makes it possible to track down relevant devices even without understanding each individual program.

Problem 03: Determining the cause requires taking time for analysis.

Problem details:

KV-8000 Solution: Reduce the time required for determining the cause.

Various functions for quickly narrowing down problems to mechanical, human, or program factors: Using the KV-8000 allows users to go back in time to the moment a problem occurs, review the situation using the camera, check the operation history, and analyse the software, ensuring efficient cause analysis from a single operation record.

Fast debugging and startup

Efficiently respond to problems that arise in various situations after design, debugging, startup, or installation.

Problem 04: Obtaining accurate information is impossible without going to the site.

Problem details:

KV-8000 Solution: The ability to remotely reproduce the situation when the problem occurred improves response efficiency.

Accurate understanding of the situation without leaving the office: Delivery destinations for equipment are often remote, including overseas, making it difficult to get an accurate grasp of the situation by phone or email information when a problem occurs. The KV-8000 automatically records information from ladder programs, cameras, and events onto an SD card, enabling a thorough understanding of the device status just from the received data.

Limit the number of required trips, and ensure proper preparedness: The ability to reproduce the situation when the problem occurred without needing to be on site makes it possible to determine whether the situation can be rectified without the need for travel. If travelling to the site is necessary, only the necessary preparations can be made before departing, reducing overall labour hours.

Problem 05: Debugging and startup take time.

Problem details:

KV-8000 Solution: Visualisation makes it possible to quickly investigate causes.

Comparison with a master waveform for fast identification of causes: Device information is recorded automatically, allowing for reduced cause analysis time by comparing a normal operation record during debugging and the operation record when a problem occurs.

Reduce correction errors during debugging: Debugging involves many fine modifications to programs, making it difficult to determine the ripple effect of every correction. Reviewing the scope of impact using the tree diagram and recording problems that arise allow users to quickly find the cause of any errors.

Increase operation rate

Reducing equipment downtime is a key aspect to improving the rate of operations at a manufacturing site. Nevertheless, eliminating equipment stoppage all together is very difficult. This means predictive maintenance for preventing problems before they occur, and appropriate responses whenever a problem does occur (follow-up maintenance), have become important.

Reducing equipment stoppage time: At manufacturing sites, problems generally fall under two categories: situations that can be prevented (advance handling) or events that cannot be prevented (follow-up handling). For events requiring follow-up handling, resolving the issue as quickly as possible is essential.

Predictive maintenance solutions

With the fastest processing speed in its class, the KV-8000 Series enables predictive maintenance by collecting large amounts of data for use in advanced analysis.

Solution examples

Machine Operation Recorder function for reducing problem response time

The Machine Operation Recorder function can record and play back equipment information from both before and after a problem occurs, making it easy for all users to resolve the situation.

Equipment information recording and linked playback

Reduced work for improved efficiency and flexibility

Mechanism for simplified analysis even of programs written by third parties

Application for visualising operation rate: The KV-8000 enables visualisation of the equipment's overall efficiency, operating status, and equipment stoppage factors from an on-site touch panel. This allows users to check changes in the operation rate quickly and easily.

Various functions to assist in problem-solving

Recording

Support for various applications with up to four configurations: Up to four IDs can be used with the Machine Operation Recorder function. This enables not only data recording before and after a problem occurs but also various applications, such as cycle monitoring or trend monitoring with longer sampling cycles.

Customisable recording settings: With the ability to change the sampling cycle timing as desired, to narrow down the number of recording devices, to extend the recording time, and to change recording settings as desired, the KV-8000 can be used in a wide variety of applications.

Highly reliable industrial SD card

KEYENCE offers high-reliability SLC-type SD cards. These cards are ideal for use with the Machine Operation Recorder function, as the equipment information recorded when a problem occurs, which tends to be excessive and indispensable.

Freely split and save operation records

The operation record can be saved not only as separate files with a specified file sized but also for any specific period of time. Data can be sent to equipment designers as an e-mail attachment directly after a problem occurs.

Playback

KV REPLAY VIEWER software for replay mode: KV REPLAY VIEWER is special software that enables playback and analysis of the operation record even without using KV STUDIO. With no risk of programs being rewritten, the software is ideal for maintenance work.

Replay linking with touch panel screens: With linking in replay mode, device changes and bit ON/OFF statuses can be viewed as touch panel screen data. The availability of a screen for confirming startup operation makes it easier to understand the situation faster.

Analysis

Device change-point searching: Search for device changes in chronological order. In addition, because the replay position can be changed from the search results for the change point, factor analysis can be performed with greater efficiency.

FTP uploading of operation record: Using preset function blocks allows the operation record to be uploaded to a PC via FTP. This enables immediate analysis whenever a problem occurs without ever having to be on-site.

Camera

Strong global shutter for capturing moving objects: The adoption of a global shutter enables exposure and capturing of all pixels at the same time. This ensures the high-speed movement of mechanical mechanisms can be captured with no blurring, eliminating the possibility of missing momentary changes.

IP65F rating: The IP65F rating signifies a waterproof and oilproof construction. This device can be used with peace of mind even in the harshest production environments.

Support for hot-swapping during operation: Cameras can be removed freely from the camera input unit even while power is being supplied. In addition, because the unit remains powered, any camera installed later can also be used immediately just by connecting it to the unit.

Video adjustment from the touch panel: Video adjustments such as quality and exposure can be performed not only from KV STUDIO but also from VT5 Series devices. A dedicated screen ready for use without drafting ensures adjustments can be made efficiently at startup.

File saving of camera data: Convert recorded camera data into video files or image files. These files can be used when contacting remote users and for reporting problems.

High-performance PLC for improved equipment performance

KEYENCE's high-performance PLC system is ideal for a variety of equipment control situations.

KV-X MOTION: High-speed and high-accuracy control that is the best in the industry
