Component Installation and Handling
OMRON Components
Use a Camera, Camera Cable, and Console designed specifically for the Controller.

Connecting Cables
Always turn OFF the Controller's power before connecting or disconnecting a camera or cable.

Handling the Camera

The Camera's case is connected to the 0V line in the internal circuits. Observe the following

precautions to prevent noise interference.
· Do not ground the Camera. · Do not remove the base attached to the Camera. · Do not remove the ferrite core attached to the F150-VS or F160-VSR

Camera Cable.

Optical axis of a special camera
The center of the optical axis varies with the camera used. Therefore, when installing the camera, always check the center of the image displayed on the monitor.
Securing the Video Monitor
(When Using the Recommended F150-M09) Observe the following precautions to prevent noise interference, because the video monitor case is connected to the 0V line in the internal circuits. · Do not ground the video monitor. · Do not ground the metallic part of the connector. · Secure the video monitor with plastic screws if it is being mounted to a metallic surface.
Touching Signal Lines
To prevent damage from static electricity, use a wrist strap or another device for preventing electrostatic discharges when touching terminals or signal lines in connectors.
Handling the Memory Card
· To prevent damage from static electricity, do not touch the Memory Card directly while it is installed in the
Controller.
· To remove a Memory Card, turn OFF the power supply to the Card (using the menu command) or turn OFF
the Controller. Press the eject button to eject the Card.The Memory Card or the Controller itself may be damaged if a Memory Card is removed while power is being supplied. (The power supply is stopped using the menu)

SECTION 1 Vision Sensor

SECTION 1 Features
Vision Sensor
Vision Sensors work in place of the human eye to perform inspections by processing images using cameras. The visual inspections can be automated and complicated inspections can be performed accurately at high speeds. The OMRON Vision Sensor helps create production lines with a highly efficient inspection system, which is important to meet current demands for small-lot, variable-product production, produce greater addedvalue, and improve product quality. Using the Vision Sensor yields a high return on investments by ensuring the following benefits:
· Repetitive work is reduced. · More complicated, more precise inspections are possible. · Inspection data management is easier (CIM, GMP, ISO9000). · Working hours can be shortened. · Less 3-D work (difficult, dirty, dangerous) is required. · Work can be performed by less experienced staff.

Provide a light source appropriate for the measurement object.

Observe the following precautions when using a Camera with Light or Camera with Intelligent Lighting. · The lens has a fixed focal point.The actual field of vision and focal point vary from lens to lens, so adjust the
distance to the measurement object after replacing the lens or camera. · The camera mounting distance is an approximate value.Mount the Camera so that the distance to the

When using a Camera without a light (F150-S1A, F160-S1 or F160-S2), refer to the following graph to select the appropriate Lens and Extension Tube. The lens will differ depending on the size of the measurement object and the distance from the Camera.

Understanding the above chart

The X axis of the graph shows field of vision L (mm), and the Y axis shows the camera distance

A (mm). The curves on the graph show the relationship between the field of vision and camera

distance for each CCTV lens. The values are significantly different for each lens, so double-

check the model of the lens before using the graph.The "t" values indicate the lengths of the

Extension Tubes.The value "t0" shows the case where an Extension Tube is not needed and the

value "t5.0" shows the case where a 5 mm Extension Tube is used.

Example:

When a 3Z4S-LE C1614A CCTV

Parallel Connection Methods
This section explains how to connect I/O to the Controller through its parallel interface to input signals such as measurement triggers or output signals such as measurement results. When you want to use the parallel interface to input commands and output measurement results, prepare a parallel I/O cable and connect it to the parallel connector.A Terminal Block can also be used to connect external devices. Refer to the Operation Manual for details on communications settings and I/O formats.
Connection
Using a Parallel I/O Cable
Use an F160-VP Parallel I/O Cable (sold separately) to connect the Controller to external devices. Align the connectors and insert the cable's connector straight into the Controller's parallel connector. Tighten the connector's mounting screws to secure the connection.

Cameras

Questions

Answers

Are the shutter trigger pulses synchronized when more than one camera is connected?

The shutter trigger pulses are not synchronized for the F160-S1, F160S2 and F150-S1A. The timing is offset so that light from other Cameras does not enter.The offset depends on the model of Camera that is used.

Camera 0 Camera 1 Camera 2

F160-S1 F160-S2
tD=Approx. 500 µs

F150-S1A
tD=Approx. 1 ms

Camera 3 tD

: Shutter trigger pulses ON
If a strobe is used, the strobe trigger signals are also offset in the same way as the shutter trigger pulses.

The shutter trigger pulses are synchronized for other Cameras, i.e., there is no offset.

Can more than one internally synchronized Cameras be connected?

No.Only one internally syncronized Camera can be connected, and it must be connected to Camera connector 0.

Can the F150-LT10A Light be connected to the F160S1 or the F160-S2 Camera?

Yes, it can be connected and the following Lenses are available.

Connecting to a SYSMAC device (9-pin connector) · XW2Z-200T (2 m) · XW2Z-500T (5 m)

Can a commercially available cable be used instead of the R150-VM Monitor Cable?

Yes, as long as it's a pin jack cable (with a yellow connector) for video signal connection.

Shutter trigger width
The "shutter trigger width" setting determines the pulse width W. Can be set to match the strobe's specifications.
When using a Double-speed Camera: W = Shutter trigger width setting (H) × 32 µs (1H = 32 µs)
When using a Camera other than a Double-speed Camera:
W = Shutter trigger width setting (H) × 63 µs (1H = 63 µs)
Note: Depending upon the timing, W may have an error of up to 1H.

Combining an OMRON Camera and Strobe
The following table shows the timing polarity. Use a strobe that is compatible with this timing.
