AV500/AV900 2D CAMERA
CHAPTER 6
CALIBRATION
The AV500/AV900 Camera can be set up as a single unit or with multiple units in a scan-
ning array (tunnel). The AV500/AV900 camera system is a high-pr
ecision imaging sys-
tem, and requires careful and accurate setup and calibration to function at its full
poten
tial.
REVIEW MOUNTING DRAWING AND APPLICATION
SPECIFICATIONS
Make sure all equipment is mounted correctly based on the application drawings and
specifications.
• Deflection Mirror Alignment - Reference the application drawing and section
“Aligning the AV500/AV900 with Deflection Mirrors” on page 40 for deflection
mirror placement and mounting.
• Photoelectric Sensor, Trigger (if applicable) - Mount t
he photoelectric sensor
according to the application drawing, and with the following recommendations:
• Make sure the Photoelectric Sensor (PS) is square to the conveyor
• Make sure the PS is high enough off of the conveyor surface that it will not get
f
als
e triggers from any part of the conveyor
• Make sure the PS is aligned properly to the reflector. (In a sender receiver applica-
tion, make sure the two components are aligned correctly)
• Make sure the PS is positioned correctly upstream from the scan line (if applica-
ble). See “AV500 Timing and Distance Diagrams” on page 355.
• If using any one of the additional focusing devices, see“Trigger, Positioning and
Focusing Device Setup” on page 270 .
SOFTWARE UPDATE
If necessary, a Datalogic technician will update the AV500/AV900 CPU with the latest
software. This must only be done by, or under the guidance of, a trained Datalogic tech-
nician.
You will need to connect a laptop to the AV500/AV900 in order to perform static and
dynamic calibration, You may use any of the three Ethernet ports; Image, Host or Sync:
• Sync IP: 192.168.0.145
• Host default IP: 192.168.3.10
• Image default IP: 10.0.40.20
DO NOT use a parameter file from any previous AV500/AV900 installations.
