Smart Vision Control is a powerful vision solution with direct Fieldbus connection that requires no additional hardware - only a Windows PC and a GigE Vision camera (e.g. Basler). Simply parameterize instead of program: The software enables intuitive image presetting and image processing without programming knowledge.
The system combines two central areas: Fieldbus communication (Profinet, EtherCAT or Ethernet/IP) with the PLC control, as well as real-time image acquisition and image processing. This allows tasks such as Pick & Place, Metrology and Quality Assurance to be implemented efficiently. The camera is integrated easily using the VisionGen supplementary program.
In addition to the camera, lens and lighting, image preprocessing is crucial for high-quality results. Typical parameters include brightness, contrast, sharpness and thresholds.
The system offers ten freely combinable image processing elements that transmit the results directly to the PLC. Available elements include: Center Point Determination, Angle Determination, Distance Measurement, Contour Measurement, Corner Position Determination, and Pattern Recognition.
