Adjust image acquisition settings, perform hand-eye alignment,
configure jobs and change system settings. Unlocks Installation,
Alignment, Job, Run and System workflow steps.
Service
(password: servicelevel)
Calibrate the PLOC2D sensor. Unlocks Calibration workflow step
and a few other advanced options.
7.2 Configuration workflow
User level Service is required to do a complete configuration of the PLOC2D sensor. User
level Maintenance is required for configuration of pre-calibrated PLOC2D variants, which
do not need calibration.
The PLOC2D configuration consists of the following steps:
Workflow step Description
Installation Aim the sensor and optimize the focus and aperture for the
intended working distance.
Calibration Calibrate the system to compensate for any camera and system
distortion.
Alignment Align the sensor and robot coordinate systems using an alignment
target.
Job configuration Acquire a reference image and teach a reference part for each job.
Run jobs Confirm that the PLOC2D sensor locates the parts of interest.
Illumination setup
Before starting the configuration, make sure that the illumination is correctly set up. For
details, see "Illumination settings", page 56.
External communication interfaces
All external communication interfaces are disabled by default. The applicable communi‐
cation interfaces need to be manually enabled for communication to be possible, see
"System settings", page 53.
7.2.1 Installation
Acquire image
The purpose of this workflow step is to acquire an image, in order to aim the rigged
sensor or evaluate the image. User level Maintenance or higher is required.
1. In the user interface, go to the Installation page.
2. Click Auto adjust exposure in the Advanced section to update the image exposure
settings.
3. Click the Show aiming laser toggle and confirm that the sensor is mounted in an
appropriate position above the target surface.
4. Click Acquire for a single image, or Continuous for a stream of images.
