b Read the operating instructions before using the Inspector.
b Connection, assembly, and settings must be performed
by competent technicians.
b Do not connect external I/O signals to the Inspector while
it is powered. This may damage the device.
b Make sure that any loose cable ends are properly separated
or isolated before powering the Inspector. Otherwise the
device may be damaged.
b Protect the Inspector from moisture and dirt during
operation.
b Do not use the Inspector in areas with risk for explosion.

Teaching without PC Object Locator
Detailed Inspections
Overview
SOPAS ET
Pixel counter
Counts the number of pixels within the region that has an
intensity(greyscalevalue)thatiswithinaspeciedrange.
The location of these pixels is not considered, only the
number of pixels.
Edge pixel counter
Similar to the Pixel counter, but counts the number of
edge pixels in the region. The location of the edges is not
considered, only the number of pixels.
Contour
Compares the contours in the region with the contours in
the same region on the reference object. The better the two
contours correspond, the greater is the matching score for
the inspections.
Pattern (I40)
Compares each pixel’s value in the region with the
corresponding pixel value in the reference image. The better
the pixels correspond, the greater is the matching score for
the inspections.

1. PlaceanobjectinfrontoftheInspectorandconnectin2

3. Click Teach reference object.
The Inspector captures a reference image of the object
and displays it.
3. Findtheeldofviewwiththehelpofforexampleapen.
WhentheInspectordetectsmovementsintheeldof
view,theFunctionLEDchangescolortoblue.
5. Add detailed inspection over the parts of the object to be
inspected.
4. Disconnectin2fromthepower.
The Inspector will now use the latest captured image as
reference image.
6. TesttheinspectionintheLiveimageandadjustthe
settings if necessary.
5. The Inspector will then automatically switch to Run mode
and start inspecting
When the inspections are accurate enough, switch to Run to
put the Inspector in operation. When asked, you should save
thesettingsintheInspector’sashmemorytoassurethat
they will be remembered if the power should be disconnected.
1. Mount the Inspector at an appropriate distance from the
objects to be inspected.
SOPASETisthePCapplicationthatisusedformonitoringand
conguringtheInspector.ItcanbeinstalledonanyPC,and
then be used for accessing any Inspector that is connected to
the same network as the PC.
ToconnecttoanInspectorfromSOPASET.
1. Make sure that the Inspector is powered, and connected
to the PC or to the same network as the PC.
2. StartSOPAS ET.
3. In the Device search pane, double-click on the Inspector in
the list of available devices.
An object locator is used when teaching the Inspector to
recognisetheobjectstoinspect.Eachreferenceobjectcan
not have more than one object locator.
The Inspector locates an object by recognising the contours
of it. The contours that are used are highlighted in green in
SOPASET.
b Adjust the amount of contours to learn with the Edge
strength slider on the Object locator tab.
b Adjust the size, location, shape, and rotation of the object
locator so that it covers the object properly. Use masks
to mask out areas that normally varies on the object, for
example if they have different labels .

b If objects are never rotated, deselect Allow rotation to
improve both robustness and speed.
b To verify that objects are not rotated more than a small
amount, select Allow rotation and set the max rotation to a
small amount.
b If objects are always of the same size and at the same
distance from the Inspector, deselect Allow scaled objects to
improve both robustness and speed.
An Inspector with ring
light may need to be
mounted at a small angle
to avoid too much reexes.
An Inspector with Dome
light should be aligned
with the objects, at a
distance of approximately
50 mm to get optimal
effect of the dome lighting.
2. ConnecttheEthernetconnectorontheInspectortoa
network,ordirectlytoanEthernetconnectoronaPC.
4. Ifnecessary,adjustthesizeandlocationoftheobject
locator, and the amount of highlighted contours.
b Bright contours are more important than dim contours.
b Avoid highlighting contours outside the object.
b It is not necessary to get bright contours everywhere on
the important contours.
Note: TheEdgestrengthsettingforEdgepixel
counter and Contour inspections is common
for all inspections of these types for a reference
object.
The Inspector
