Machine vision systems for quality assurance and increased productivityProductive manufacturing processes have to be flexible. Batch sizes are getting smaller, cycles faster and quality requirements ever more stringent. Conventional inspection techniques are at their limits here. Not the case with industrial image processing. Thanks to its enormous potential, it is becoming a standard discipline in automation engineering – especially since intelli-gent vision systems have made them easier to use. A broad spectrum is available for all fields of application – from code reading systems for 1D/2D codes, vision sensors for application-specific image processing, intelligent cameras for universal applications through to PC-based image processing systems for extremely fast applications using several cameras.

Code reading systems – Reading and verification of 1D/2D codesFor state-of-the-art production systems, tracing products and parts with machine-readable identification is a central require-ment. A unique coding system permits the planning of each and every step of production for every part manufactured and changes within the production process or in the materials used. Direct marking of products also allows the implementation of specified legal requirements for tracing production batches throughout the production system.

What is Direct Part Marking (DPM) ?

Direct Part Marking (DPM) indicates the application of a mark directly on the surface of a product without the use of a separate carrier material such as e.g. an adhesive label. This makes it possible to identify products in production and tracing them after delivery as well. So-called 2D codes have been used for years in a coding method that meets all user requirements. 2D codes consist of easy to implement, point-shaped basic elements. Laser and needle marking technologies are outstanding regarding durability, marking speed and material indepen-dence. Because of mechanical deformation, 2D codes can still be read using 2D read devices after multiple processing steps on metallic work pieces for example. 2D codes also provide the advantage of being able to encode data in more limited spaces than comparable barcodes or text.

The production spectrum of the Siemens code reading systems

Stationary code reading systems

The stationary code reading systems SIMATIC HawkEye 1515, 1510 and 1525 (from the left)

The stationary code reading systems either have high-perfor-mance read devices or a PC-based code reading system. The devices read various two-dimensional (2D) codes as well as one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. The PC-based system is a fast, powerful code reading system for various two-dimensional (2D) codes, one dimensional (1D) barcodes and OCR (text recogni-tion). Many readers, including the PC-based code reading system use data matrix print-quality monitoring (verification) for process control.

Hand-held reading systems

Hand-held reading systems SIMATIC HawkEye 40T, 45T, 50T and 53T (from the left)

These hand-held reading systems are powerful, high-resolution read devices for either two-dimensional (2D) data matrix codes and/or one-dimensional bar codes (1D). The devices can com-municate with a host computer using RS232, USB, PS2 and Bluetooth depending on the selected variant.

Highlights• Unique identification of products or product parts –

Direct Part Marking is the key technology for tracing products

• Part-specific documentation of the production process• Automation of the manufacturing process• Verification for product liability cases (e.g. recall actions)

Sector-specific code reading systems

UID test devices

Sector-specific code reading systems are the UID products by Siemens. These products make it possible to meet the specifica-tions in MIL-STD-130 and DFAR 252.211-7003.

Verification systems

Verification of a data matrix code with the SIMATIC DMx Verifier+

By using verification systems, the readability of marks is guaran-teed throughout the entire production process regardless of any possible contamination or when using different read devices. It should also be mentioned that the marking can continue to be read after the production process throughout the lifesaving of the product.

■ Overview

The stationary code reading systems either have high-perfor-mance read devices or a PC-based code scanning system. With stand-alone read devices, the data is processed in the scanner and is sent to a higher-level computer – using one of the existing communication protocols. The devices read various two-dimen-sional (2D) codes as well as one-dimensional (1D) barcodes.

The PC-based system is a fast, powerful code reading system for various two-dimensional (2D) codes, one dimensional (1D) barcodes and OCR (text recognition). Many readers, including the PC-based code scanning system use Data Matrix print-qual-ity monitoring (verification) for process control.

SIMATIC HawkEye 1500

The SIMATIC HawkEye 1500 devices are powerful, stationary read devices for Data Matrix codes and barcodes. The special format, in the size of an intelligent camera, makes the HawkEye 1500 the perfect replacement for a barcode scanner. Uncompli-cated setup and the advanced programming capabilities make for user-friendliness and universal application at the same time. The HawkEye 1500 series can check the print quality of Data Matrix codes and barcodes with an optional verification license.

SIMATIC VS130-2

The SIMATIC VS130-2 code reading system has been devel-oped especially for reading Data Matrix codes (DMC) ECC200 and various 1D/2D codes in an industrial environment. The complete package comprises lighting, evaluation unit, sensor and cables. They are installed and commissioned in double-quick time. They are so easy to operate that no courses are necessary and the system is "trained" instead of programmed, so even untrained personnel can use it instantly. Thanks to standardized interfaces, the Vision Sensors can be flexibly integrated into the plant automation. For simple conveyor units, a stand-alone solution is available without an additional PLC.

Major differences

SIMATIC DMx AutoID+

SIMATIC DMx AutoID+ is a fast, powerful code reading system for various two-dimensional (2D) codes, one dimensional (1D) barcodes and OCR (text recognition). It has a built-in verification option for all Data Matrix symbols which is used for analyzing all important code parameters from each individual Data Matrix code in real-time. Fast image processing and a software inter-face for Windows NT/98/2000/XP makes DMx AutoID+ into a system that is flexible, powerful and still easy to operate, ideal for

any application in which a PC is implemented. Advanced image processing functions make it possible for DMx AutoID+ to han-dle even the most difficult automatic identification and reading problems, even at extraordinary speeds.

■ Design

The following components are required for use of the SIMATIC VS130-2 vision sensor and are included in the scope of delivery of a fixed-focus complete package (working distance approxi-mately 100 mm):• Fixed-focus sensor head (3 display field sizes available for

selection). • Front lighting in the form of a ring light matched to the

application and sensor head. • Evaluation unit. • Cables. • CD with mounting/operating instructions

For working distances between 80 mm and 3000 mm, "C/CS-Mount complete packages" are available:• C/CS-Mount sensor head (standard resolution 640 x 480

[pixels], high-resolution 1024 x 768 [pixels]) • Evaluation unit. • Cables. • CD with mounting/operating instructions

The core of this package is a C/CS-Mount sensor head whose imaging behavior is determined with a suitable C/CS-Mount lens. The lens is not included in the package and can be se-lected under "Accessories". The lighting (incl. cables) must be selected in accordance with the working distance and are not included in the "C/CS-Mount complete packages".

The following is additionally required for commissioning (not included in scope of delivery):• Ethernet cable (see "Accessories") for connecting the

evaluator to any web client. The web client, e.g. a PC with web browser installed, is used to adjust the sensor head and the lighting.

Sensor head

The sensor head is equipped with:• Extruded aluminium housing with IP65 degree of protection • CCD chip (640 x 480 square pixels, 1024 x 768 square pixels). • Lens, permanently installed (possible field of view sizes: 70 x

50 mm, 40 x 30 mm, 20 x 15 mm for 640 x 480 pixels in each case) or prepared for C/CS-Mount lens (field of view size can be freely selected for 640 x 480 pixels or 1024 x 768 pixels)

• Interface for digital transmission of image data to the evaluation unit.

The fixed-focus sensor head offers IP65 degree of protection. Even when C/CS-Mount lenses are used, IP65 degree of protec-tion can be achieved by use of the optional protective housing.

Evaluation unit

The evaluation unit has:• Plastic housing designed for cabinet-free mounting (IP40). • Connections for:

- Supply voltage 24 V DC.- Lighting - Sensor head - Digital inputs and outputs - PROFIBUS DP. - Ethernet (DHCP client, DHCP server, fixed IP address).

• Operator prompting on the device (4-line text display, 6 keys). • Operator prompting through web-based user interface

(HTML, JAVA VM). • Access protection by means of password.

The following communication services are included:• PROFINET IO (slave)• PROFIBUS DP V0 (slave),• TCP/IP native.

Front lighting• Designed as ring light, pushed onto sensor head or lens

housing• Can be dismounted, and secured with different orientation on

the machine• Housing with degree of protection IP65• Equipped with various LEDs for different applications:

- Not focussed, for small reading distances (0.08 m to 0.5 m)- Focussed, for large reading distances (0.5 m to 3 m).- Infrared LED, for daylight-independent operation- Red LED for high light intensity - Operation in flash mode- Power control for the flash integrated in the light

■ Function

The following functions are available:• "Training" the vision sensor with reference to a code (DMC)

pattern. • Coded information can be read out. • The coded information is compared with a defined character

sequence. • Measurement of code quality. • Codes on moving or stationary objects can be processed. • Output of the decoding results to three control outputs:

- READ: Code is decoded. - MATCH: Decoded code content exactly matches the

reference. - N_OK: Code cannot be decoded.

• Output of the decoded DMC information via PROFIBUS-DP, Ethernet or by means of a converter on the RS232 interface.

• Formatting of the output. • Integrated DI/Os, for example, for "stand-alone" mode without

additional control. • Remote control via PROFIBUS-DP, PROFINET IO or DI/O or

Ethernet. • Remote maintenance is possible through web-based Intranet

or Internet user interface: - monitoring (live image in read mode). - diagnostics (fault pattern, log information, etc.). - system administration (software update, etc.). - fault analysis for finding the cause of faulty readings.

• Actuation of ring lighting

Mode of operation

When using the SIMATIC VS130-2, the following steps are necessary:• Mount the vision sensor and lighting. • Manually align the camera, check the lighting:

The web server integrated into the device complete with web-based user interface is provided for this purpose. The user in-terface presents the camera image and the decoded result. In the setup phase, the sensor head can be aligned with refer-ence to the live image in the user interface. The user interface executes on any PC with Microsoft Internet Explorer and JAVA VM installation. When the sensor head is correctly adjusted, the vision sensor performs the subsequent tasks autono-mously: - optimization of lighting control.


SIMATIC VS130-2

5/14 Siemens FS 10 · 2008

5

- "Training" of the image processing parameters by presenting a code sample. The image processing parameters for the type of code (carrier material, marking type, dot size, matrix size, etc.) are stored. No further parameter inputs are required.

• Evaluation mode (RUN mode) is started using the training results and a read is started: Feeding of the Data Matrix Code can be carried out manually or via a conveyor unit. The Data Matrix Code must be located within the viewing window at the moment of triggering and is permitted to move at a maximum speed of 5000 mm/s. Any angle of rotation within the viewing window of the sensor head is permitted.

SIMATIC VS130-2 generally has three operating modes that can also be combined: • Operating mode 1 "Code decoding":

The character string is transferred to the controller filtered or unfiltered. Filters can be separators, start position and length of the character string, or company-specific ID numbers.

• Operating mode 2 "Decoded information is compared with a character string": The comparison can refer to the decoded string or to only a certain part. Comparison of parts is possible using the filter functions mentioned above.

• Operating mode 3 "Measurement of code quality": The measurement can be absolute or relative. With the relative method, the reading system is calibrated by presenting a reference sample during the training phase. In this mode, the quality values measured are based on the reference sample. VS130-2 can, however, also use absolute measurement. In this case, the calibration step is omitted and a reference sample is not necessary.

• Depending on the operating mode and the result of the analysis, one of the digital control outputs READ, MATCH or N_OK is set.

• The decoded information is output, over PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS IO, Ethernet or a serial interface (converter required) as preferred and on the device display.

Programming

SIMATIC VS130-2 is not programmed or parameterized like conventional image processing systems. It configures the light-ing and trains the algorithms without the need for user settings with reference to a code sample or during the first read.

The training can be performed when the conveyor system is running. Self-parameterization can be started externally using the operator buttons on the device or remotely from the user interface. Self-parameterization is also activated during reading by a failed attempt at reading. Maximum reading reliability is achieved thanks to independence from user inputs and due to automatic self-parameterization.

Up to 15 different parameter records can be stored in the device. These can be called up at any time by the user or by an external controller and can be used for reading code without the need to repeat the training phase.

■ Overview

The SIMATIC HawkEye 40 and HawkEye 40T are high-performance, high resolution handheld readers for two dimensional (2D) Data Matrix and one-dimensional barcodes.

They incorporate advanced video image processing and illumination technology to read symbols on a variety of surfaces.

Models are available in the HawkEye 4xx series to transmit data using wired and wireless communication standards. This guar-antees an easy integration to your application.

The HawkEye 40 and 40T products are modular packages that include the reader, a handle and a cable for interfacing (RS232 models also include a power supply). The wireless versions add a Bluetooth radio (integrated into the reader) and rechargeable battery to the package.

The HawkEye 40T is also a Department of Defense Unique Identifier (UID) string validator. This includes checking the string content against the appropriate controlling documents. Typical uses are incoming inspection of UID codes marked by external vendors. UID to Unique Item Identifier (UII) conversion functionality allows vendors to use the HawkEye 40T in UID logistics applications.

SIMATIC HawkEye 40

The SIMATIC HawkEye 40 is a rugged industrial barcode and Data Matrix reader designed to read medium to high contrast Data Matrix codes with cell sizes as small as 0.13 mm (0.005"). Barcodes with a bar width as small as 0.12 mm (0.0045") are also easily read.

SIMATIC HawkEye 40T

The SIMATIC HawkEye 40T provides much better reading stabil-ity than the HawkEye 40 because it utilizes the Siemens image processing algorithm. This algorithm is especially effective for low contrast and/or damaged codes. Therefore the HawkEye 40T is especially suitable for Direct Part Mark (DPM) Codes which were created by laser markers, dot peen systems or inkjet.

■ Benefits

SIMATIC HawkEye 40• Cost-effective if the code possesses high contrast

(e.g. codes located on paper labels)

SIMATIC HawkEye 40/40T• Cost-effective and sturdy handheld reader for high to medium

contrast labels• Automatically switches between barcodes and data matrix

codes. The codes can be oriented in any direction• Outfitted with a high resolution reader head that can read even

the smallest codes• High-performance processor for high decoding speed and

very robust reading• Easy reading of one-dimensional barcodes• Dynamic illumination and internal settings optimize readability

of codes• Can communicate through almost all existing standard indus-

trial protocols

Additionally for SIMATIC HawkEye 40T• Masters hard-to-read low contrast Data Matrix codes,

which were created, for example, by laser markers, dot peen systems or inkjet

• Can read a wide variety of codes which were printed directly on the surface of parts, with out the need of parameter adjust-ment

• Ruggedized and ergonomic design provides a more durable unit for hard industrial use and a more comfortable handling for the user

■ Application

Industrial and commercial part identification and unit level trace-ability applications where the part is identified by a Data Matrix (DM) code or barcode and where a hand held reader is required.

SIMATIC HawkEye 40

For applications that involve paper labels (i.e. codes offering good contrast)

SIMATIC HawkEye 40T

Typical applications in the following industries:• Automotive industry:

Identification of various automotive power train components (e.g. cylinder heads, cylinder blocks, manifolds, etc.)

• Aerospace: Codes located on gas turbine blades

• Medical devices: Laser marks on various medical device components and enclosures

• Electronics: Laser marks on ESD sensitive hard drive components

■ Design

Ruggedized Ergonomic handle with integrated battery for wireless and batch mode

They are hand held imaging readers with a handle. The reader may be held in the right or left hand. Reading is commanded by a trigger in front of the handle. The handle is removable.

The HawkEye 40 is the entry level offering and is equipped with a lightweight and economical pistol grip handle.

The HawkEye 40T with Siemens image processing algorithm, a higher level offering, is equipped with a ruggedized, ergo-nomic handle which provides greater drop resilience and a more comfortable feel.

Optional ruggedized, ergonomic handles with or without inte-grated batteries are available. Ruggedized, ergonomic handles with integrated batteries are available in two configurations: either with a 1950 mAH Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Battery or with a 3900 mAH Li-Ion Battery.The readers are constructed of a high impact durable plastic.

■ Integration

The SIMATIC HawkEye40/40T connects to a host system via RS232, USB, PS2 or Bluetooth. There is no need for special software. All configurations are done by reading specific data matrix codes.

Besides the direct transfer of codes to the host system via RS232, USB, PS2 or Bluetooth, the reader can also be run in "Batch mode" when no connection to a host system is available. Codes that are read when the reader is in "Batch Mode" are saved in a buffer of the reader. Next time the reader has a con-nection to the host system the codes can be transferred manu-ally or automatically. For "Batch mode" a rechargeable battery is needed.

When using the code reader with the ruggedized ergonomic handle with integrated rechargeable battery (included in Hawk-Eye 40T Bluetooth package or separately orderable) it can easily be recharged using the available accessory "Charge Cradle". Simply place the handle onto the cradle for automatic battery charging. The cradle can also hold the Bluetooth modem accessory, which receives codes from the reader's Bluetooth radio and transfers them to the host system.

■ Overview

Marking a product is normally done very early on in the production process so that all following steps can be controlled using the product identity.

By using verification systems, the readability of marks is guaran-teed throughout the entire production process regardless of any possible contamination or when using different read devices. Moreover, the marking can continue to be read after the produc-tion process throughout the life span of the product.

HawkEye Direct Part Mark Verifier

SIMATIC HawkEye Direct Part Mark (DPM) Verifier guarantees the quality of data matrix codes on directly marked parts. This is a software option for the cameras of the SIMATIC HawkEye 1500 series. Siemens Direct Part Marking (DPM) technology is utilized here. Users of HawkEye 1500 cameras can perform a 100% inspection for DPMs with this device and the marking system can be set correctly before illegible markings are made on the parts.

DMX Verifier+

SIMATIC DMx Verifier+ is a data matrix verification system that supplies data on the code quality. It is a quality assurance program with the target of ensuring that data matrix codes can be read correctly for a number of materials and marking procedures.

The DMx Verifier+ is a software package that is used together with half-length PCI modules. The PCI module is connected with external cameras via cables. Up to 4 cameras can be connected with a PCI card. High-performance testing systems are possible with this system. By adding an optional, external I/O module, the functionality can be expanded and the system can be integrated into an automated system.

■ Overview

To ensure the quality of Data Matrix codes marked directly on parts, Siemens offers the SIMATIC HawkEye DPM Verifier. This verifier consists of a software option for the SIMATIC HawkEye 1500 Series cameras. It uses the Siemens Direct Part Marking (DPM) technology. Using this system, manufacturers can now continuously monitor and adjust their marking system before it begins producing unreadable marks.

While Data Matrix readers or verifiers from other vendors evalu-ate marks using a specification known as the AIM standard (ISO 16022), originally developed for labels, the HawkEye DPM Veri-fier uses a set of quality measures developed by Siemens spe-cifically for direct part marks. This helps prevent false alarms or incorrect decisions, since direct part marks that receive a per-fect A' according to the AIM spec may really be marginal or even unacceptable, whereas marks that receive a very low or failing AIM grade may be perfectly readable and need not indicate any problems or require any changes in the marking process.

■ Benefits

• 100% in-line mark quality monitoring for DPMs in production• Broad applicability resulting from support of the following

verification standards: Siemens DPM, AS9132, ISO 15415 and ISO 16022 (AIM)

• Unique Siemens DPM quality measurements overcome limitations of other verification standards

• Built-in A/B/C/D/F grading levels for ease of interpretation• User selectable mark quality measurements to identify

different marking process problems• User configurable good/fair/poor quality alarm ranges for

each measurement• Direct connection to PLC or stack lights through onboard

digital I/O• Graphical interface for advanced setup and in-line monitoring

of verification results and statistics

■ Design

Direct Part Mark Verification is offered as special software option for all SIMATIC HawkEye 1500 series cameras.

The optimum configuration for a direct part mark verifier is typi-cally different than that for a reader. Direct part mark verification requires higher resolution than reading (more pixels per Data Matrix symbol cell) and also requires that the axis of the camera is perpendicular to the mark surface.

■ Function

Direct part mark quality problems that can be detected by the Direct Part Mark Verification technology include:• Improper or inconsistent mark dot/cell size• Improper or inconsistent mark dot/cell location• Improper overall mark geometry • Mark or part surface damage• Very low or inconsistent mark contrast

The Direct Part Mark quality verification measurements include:• Cell size• Cell center offset• Cell size offset• Cell modulation• Border match• Angle of distortion• Symbol contrast• Axial non-uniformity• Print growth• Unused error correction

■ Overview

SIMATIC DMx Verifier+ is a Data Matrix verification system that provides symbol quality data. This system enables the develop-ment of quality control/assurance programs to maintain read-ability of Data Matrix symbols in a wide range of marking and reading applications.

DMx Verifier+ verifies printed, etched, peened, or ink-jet marked Data Matrix symbols on paper, metal, plastic, and many other materials. DMx Verifier+ provides analysis of overall symbol grade, symbol contrast, print growth1), axial non-uniformity, and unused error correction. It provides graphical displays of mea-sured parameters as well as summary and detail reports both on-screen and hard copy.

1) The size ratio of black cells to white cells should ideally be 1:1. If the black cells increase in size, due to bad printing, readability is impaired. This effect is called print growth.

- OK: Compliance of the object with the saved model is better or equal to the set threshold value

- N_OK: Compliance of the object with the saved model is worse than or equal to the set threshold value

Mode of operation

Manual alignment of the sensor is supported by a laser-based alignment tool. Two laser beams project two light spots into the image window of the sensor.

The sensor is calibrated to the ambient conditions, menu-driven, based on the templates supplied.

The inspection tasks are taught by presenting one or more good objects. The result of teach-in can be saved in one of 16 data records. The learned inspection task can then be tested immediately in test mode.

To start the evaluation mode you have to select a trained object data record and switch to "RUN" mode. The sensor starts the evaluation after triggering.

Depending on the trained threshold values and the actual evaluated values, the result is output to the OK or N_OK digital outputs for a good or bad result respectively.

The inspection task can be changed by selecting a different data record (model) in "RUN" mode.

Any sensor faults or errors in operating the sensor are reported in the diagnostics. Evaluation mode continues or is terminated depending on the type of error.

SIMATIC VS110

5/57Siemens FS 10 · 2008

■ Overview

• Vision sensor for the visual inspection of small parts• The solution for monitoring objects in the infeed• For monitoring object type, position and lack of damage or

correct processing• Easy commissioning with special teach-in; no time-consuming

programming necessary

■ Application

The Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS110 visually monitors small parts in a materials infeed for the correct shape and position and indi-cates faulty objects by means of a BAD signal. Typical objects that can be inspected are:• Bolt• Screws• Injection molded components• Small metal components• Chocolates

The following features are monitored:• Object type:

Is the object of the right type?• Infeed alignment:

Two different positions can be taught and analyzed• Lack of damage or correct processing

The visual inspection is performed by transmitted light, i.e. based on the shadow image of the object.

The following types of equipment can be used as the conveyor system for the objects:• Vibrating conveyors (spiral or linear conveyors)• Conveyor belts• Workpiece holder carousels• Gripper units (handling systems, robots)

■ Design

To use the SIMATIC VS110 vision sensor, the following compo-nents are required that are included in the scope of supply:• Sensor head• Backlighting, specially designed for the application and the

sensor head• Evaluation unit• Cables

The package is completed with a CD containing setup software and assembly and operating instructions.

The only additional item of equipment that is required for startup is a serial cable which enables a live image to be transferred

from the evaluation unit directly to any PC during adjustment of the sensor head and the lighting.

Sensor head

The sensor head is equipped with:• CCD chip (640 x 480 quadratic pixels)• Built-in, fixed lens system (two different variants are available)• Interface for digital transmission of image data to the analyzer

unit

The housing is constructed from extruded aluminium to the IP 65 degree of protection.

Evaluation unit

The evaluation unit has connections for:• Supply voltage 24 V DC• Lighting• Sensor head• Digital inputs and outputs• RS232 serial interface.

The device is equipped with: • 4-line text display for operator prompting • 6 keys for operation of unit

The analysis is carried out by a powerful digital signal processor. The housing is made of plastic and is designed for installation outside the control cabinet.

Backlighting

The metal housing of the backlighting unit can be fixed to the machine in different positions. An infrared LED is used to gener-ate the light and it is operated in flash mode. The energy control for the flash is integrated in the lamp.

■ Function

• Continuous or externally triggered frame transfer • Automatic activation of the flash included in the scope of

supply• The currently observed object is compared with the taught

reference part with regard to identical/similar shape• Intelligent teaching of the respective object instead of

programming the analysis procedure• Output of the respective test results to three quality outputs

OK_A (correct object in taught position A), OK_B (correct ob-ject in taught position B) and NOK (wrong or faulty object). The quality outputs are ideally suited to the direct control of pneu-matic valves and can be adjusted with regard to pulse dura-tion and travel offset

• Analysis can be finely adjusted with regard to identical/similar shape

• Automatic determination of the analysis threshold ("Q limit") is possible

• Permissible "height supplement" ("Y limit") of the object is adjustable (variation of the object in the recorded image due to vibration of the conveyor)

• Transfer of a practically live image to the PC using setup software to support correct alignment of the equipment during assembly/startup

Operating principle

Adjustment

After the SIMATIC VS110 has been installed, it is easily checked for correct alignment using the setup software that is included in the scope of supply. This software can be installed on any PC, and delivers live images from the sensor head during the setup phase.


SIMATIC VS110

5/58 Siemens FS 10 · 2008

Training

When the sensor head and lighting have been correctly aligned, the user can start to teach the objects. During the teaching phase, the VS110 learns to recognize the contours and preferred positions as a result of repeated observation of the objects to be monitored in the application environment; then it automatically determines the analysis threshold for differentiat-ing between GOOD and BAD objects. Between 0 and 999 objects can be used for this purpose.

Analysis mode

In analysis mode, the contour area of each object is compared with that of the stored taught object. During comparison of the contours of the actual and taught object, local areas that differ are determined and summed. The total differential area as a ratio of the total area of the taught object results in the decision as to whether the actual object corresponds to the taught object or not. The decision threshold used here can be set. In the case of a correct object, the quality output OK_A is activated, and in the case of a defective or wrong object NOK is output.

The equipment can also be used to detect the position of an object. When the current object corresponds with the taught object in preferred position A, output OK_A is activated and when the current object corresponds to the taught object in preferred position B, output OK_B is activated. When the current object does not correspond to either position, NOK is output.

Programming

SIMATIC VS110 is not programmed or parameterized like conventional image processing systems. It is configured for the specific task by presenting it with objects during a teaching phase.

This phase comprises three or four steps. First, with the conveyor system running, the "background" is determined. Once the fixed equipment has been automatically eliminated from the subsequent analyses by observation of the conveyor system (during the conveying of objects, wherever possible), the SIMATIC VS110 can be shown and taught a GOOD part in its preferred position. If necessary, a GOOD object can then be taught in a second preferred position. The teaching phase is then completed with automatic determination of the analysis threshold for deciding between GOOD and BAD objects. Between 0 and 999 objects can be used for this purpose.

Each training operation can take place with the conveyor unit running, and can be initiated by the input keys on the unit or by remote control.

Up to 15 different objects in two possible positions can be stored in the unit power fail-proof from where they can be called up at any time by the user or, if required, from an external PLC.

• Position information output via PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET IO, Ethernet or with converter to RS 232 interface

• Integrated DI/O enables "stand-alone" operation without addi-tional controller.

• Remote control via PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET IO, DI/O or Ethernet

• Remote maintenance via web-based operator interface Intra-net or Internet: - monitoring (live image in read mode)- diagnostics (fault image, log information, ...) - system administration (software update, ...) - error analysis for troubleshooting for faulty readings

• Actuation of ring lighting

Mode of operation

The following steps are required for using the SIMATIC VS120:• Mount the vision sensor and lighting. • Manual alignment of the camera, lighting check:

This is handled with the web-server integrated in the unit and the web-based operator interface contained within. The oper-ator interface displays the camera image. In the setup phase, the sensor head can be aligned with reference to the live im-age in the user interface. The user interface executes on any PC with Microsoft Internet Explorer and JAVA VM installation. If the sensor head adjustment is complete, the vision sensor automatically takes over the following procedures:

- optimization of lighting control. - "Training" the image processing parameters by applying a

reference object- the result of the training is stored under one of the 64 data

records• Starting the evaluation operation requires loading a trained

object record and changing into the "RUN" operating mode. The VS120 starts the evaluation after triggering.

• Depending on the trained set values and the actual values of the evaluation, one of the digital control outputs OK (good result) or N_OK (poor result) is set.

The position information is output via the PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET IO or Ethernet interface.

Programming

SIMATIC VS120 is not programmed and parameters are not de-fined as on standard image processing systems. It is trained for its special task, finding and testing a special object. The SI-MATIC VS120 is shown a good object and the device is "trained" to this object.

The training procedure can be performed while a conveyor sys-tem is running.

Up to 64 different data records can be stored in the device and can be called up at any time by the operator or can also be called up through an external controller.

■ Overview

The following accessory parts are suitable for the devices VS120 and VS130-2:• LED ring lamps, metal, IP65, suitable for mounting in protective

lens housing:

• Supports: - Ring lamp bracket coaxial, solid - Sensor head/ring lamp bracket, solid- Sensor head bracket, triple steel

• Protective housing - IP65 protective lens housing (PMMA)- IP65 protective housing for analysis unit

• Lamp multiplexer • Standard rail mounting

■ Benefits

The above accessories enable VS100 projects to be imple-mented quickly and reliably with degree of protection IP65 for all components for a working area of 80 mm to 3000 mm.

■ Function

IP65 protective lens hood / LED ring lamps

The IP65 protective lens hood must be used to achieve degree of protection IP65 when the C/CS mount sensor head is used. The LED ring lamps listed here are also designed to IP65 and can be assembled and removed with the protective lens housing but are not mechanically connected to it.

Protective housing for evaluation units

The protective housing for VS100 evaluation units allows the evaluation unit to be installed to degree of protection IP65. The protective housing offers sufficient space for all components of a stand-alone VS100 application: Evaluation unit, power supply, lamp multiplexer, interface converter, Ethernet switch. Accord-ingly, the cable glands are provided for all cables of the maxi-mum configuration. The cable glands are dimensioned for the plugs of the VS100 cable. The protective housing can therefore be retrofitted in existing applications and additional components (Ethernet switches, additional ring lamps, etc.) can be installed later.

Supports

The holders are provided in order to connect the sensor head to the ring lamp or to attach both components at the installation site. The holding systems offer the necessary stability and suit-able fixing points for the sensor head and ring lamp. They also provide the adjustment possibilities required for alignment of the sensor head and ring lamp.

Lamp multiplexer

The lamp multiplexer must be used when several ring lamps are to be connected to one VS100 processing unit. The cables are included in the scope of delivery that are required for connecting the processing unit through the lamp interface and the interface for digital inputs/outputs with the multiplexer. The multiplexer en-ables up to 4 VS100 lamps (LED ring lamp in metal, LED ring lamp in plastic, VS110 wide area lamp) using the standard cable. The connected lamps can be controlled individually and used for illuminating the image field. The lamp multiplexer is activated via digital inputs/outputs and supported by Version 2.0 of VS130-2 only.

Standard rail mounting

The standard rail bracket is screwed to the rear panel of a VS100 processing unit housing which enables the processing unit housing to be mounted on a standard rail. The standard rail adapter is also required when the processing unit is installed in the protective housing.

At full frame imaging the sensor operated at double the speed of RS-170/CCIR cameras. Sensor exposure can be controlled over the range of 64 μs to 50 ms. The standard resolution VGA imager can operate in full frame mode at a rate of up to 60 frames per second. Half frame and quarter frame partial scan modes and binned (full frame half resolution) modes are available under software control that can generate frame rates up to 240 frames per second. This imaging capability is combined with a pipeline processing architecture to allow very high part per second rates to be achieved for certain applications. The processor hardware architecture employs a high performance RISC CPU with a built in floating point unit (FPU) and dynamic and static (flash) mem-ory. The intelligent camera hardware runs a multitasking kernel. The SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T is a complete self contained ma-chine vision system. Direct control is provided by 8 on-board op-tically isolated IO points consisting of one dedicated trigger in-put, three dedicated outputs and four general purpose IO points that can be configured as either input or output. An additional dedicated connector provides a strobe signal that is synchro-nized with image acquisition and power for available direct con-nect lighting.

■ Function

The SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T Smart Camera is a completely in-tegrated machine vision system that provides access to a com-plete range of machine vision tools with which it is possible to im-plement high level gauging, inspection, guidance and reading/verifications applications.

The SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T series smart cameras are pro-grammed using the Visionscape engineering software (Applica-tion Development Environment). The Visionscape environment and tools are common across the whole Visionscape range of machine vision products (boards and smart cameras).

The SIMATIC HawkEye 1610T requires a Windows PC for appli-cation set up. Once the application is developed it is may be stored in the camera's flash memory. A PC may be used to mon-itor and display results but is not required for system operation.

The minimum system requirement will typically consist of• SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T series smart camera• M12 Ethernet cable (an available SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T

accessory)• M12 power and primary IO Cable (an available SIMATIC

HawkEye 1600T accessory). Connecting to a 24 Volt DC sup-ply

• Lens and extension tube – suitable for the application (avail-able SIMATIC Machine Vision accessories)

• Lighting – suitable for the application (for example NERLITE)• Windows PC – Required only for application programming

■ Integration

The SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T series is designed to use SIMATIC Visionscape software for program application development, setup and parameterization (FrontRunner engineering software) and for run time monitoring and control (AppRunner run time monitoring software).

SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T series smart camera systems are typ-ically configured as stand alone systems that interface using dis-crete IO or as LAN based systems that communicate results via TCP/IP networks. Discrete IO connections trigger, strobe output and pass/fail signals are build directly into the camera. The sys-tem can be configured to actuate on receipt of command re-ceived on an Ethernet TCP/IP or RS232 serial connection. Re-sults data can be transmitted by means of an Ethernet TCP/IP or RS232 serial connection.

All IO connections are grouped at the rear of the unit.

Full details of the connector pin outs are provided in the SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T Smart Camera Guide. Abbreviated details of the X1 (Power and IO) and X4 (Ethernet connectors are provided below)

Vision systems – Quality control at high speedThe need to accommodate faster production rates, identify finer defects, and inspect complex objects or assemblies from multi-ple points of view is pushing the limits of today's machine vision systems.

SIMATIC Visionscape line is uniquely situated to address high speed applications requiring multiple cameras or extensive vision processing.

An extensive collection of intelligent tools coupled with a com-mon application development and deployment environment ship with each board, significantly decreasing the amount of time it takes to get your application up and running (see SIMATIC Visionscape software).

Whether you need to deliver a stand alone system or one inte-grated into a machine controller, the ability to embed one or more SIMATIC Visionscape boards into an industrial computer allows the flexibility and extensibility you're looking for.

The SIMATIC Visionscape family of products features a scalable line of high performance vision processors to cost-effective frame grabbers. A unique advantage of this product line is that all of the boards are configured using the same development and deployment environment as well as the same extensive set of intelligent tools. The end result is that an application config-ured for one board can run unmodified and without recompila-tion on any other board, thus allowing users to easily scale as well as select the right price/performance point for each appli-cation.

For further information on the intelligent camera, please see In-telligent cameras / SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T on page 5/72.

Frame grabbers SIMATIC Visionscape 0xx0

The Visionscape frame grabbers are used to capture images from a variety of machine vision cameras into the host PC mem-ory. All Visionscape frame grabber boards offer on-board dedi-cated digital I/O for triggering, strobe control and general pur-pose I/O.

Vision processors SIMATIC Visionscape 4xx0

The Visionscape 4000 series vision processors are complete high-performance vision systems in a single PCI slot. These boards feature an on-board CPU, vision acceleration ASIC, memory, and display. Therefore, they completely off-load all vi-sion processing operations from the host PC CPU. These boards also feature on-board dedicated digital I/O and support a variety of machine vision cameras through interchangeable plug-in camera interface daughter cards. An on-board real-time multi-tasking operating system assures deterministic operation. System configurations can be scaled up without affecting per-formance or footprint by simply adding more processor boards in the same PCI backplane.

Camera Interface Options

A wide variety of camera interface options are supported by the Visionscape family of boards through interchangeable daughter cards or frame grabbers including:

x300 series• Standard interlaced analog cameras• 4 multiplexed channels

x740 series• Progressive scan & interlaced analog cameras• Four independent channels • High resolution up to 2 K x 2 K pixels • Supports special features such as electronic shuttered, frame

reset, or partial scan cameras

nents and body shop) • Food and luxury goods package inspection • Pharmaceutical packaging and date and lot code verification

(especially our sectoral product SIMATIC Visionscape I-Pak) • Electronic & electrical assembly • General manufacturing assembly and inspection • Semiconductor packaging (backend production)

Other applications include traceability applications involving verification and reading one dimensional bar code and data ma-trix symbologies.

■ Design

The SIMATIC Visionscape product family consist of machine vision software and a family of PCI vision boards and smart cam-eras. Visionscape software provide all the elements required to acquire and process images in an industrial environment.

The same Visionscape Software environment is used to develop and monitor applications on the intelligent cameras of the SI-MATIC HawkEye 1600T line and all Visionscape PC-based boards.

When used with a PC-based board the software can be config-ured to interface with all kinds of machine vision cameras, which can range from unsophisticated interlaced analog cameras with standard resolution to high resolution digital cameras with Cam-eraLink interface that can acquire images at high data rates or can do even line scan. The flexibility of this interface arrange-ment is implemented by the choice of Visionscape camera inter-face daughter board and corresponding software settings.

The vision system can be configured to respond to hardware and software trigger inputs and to control a lighting system by means of strobe signals and analog control voltages.

• Support of line scan cameras with on-board encoder input for synchronization (0800 board)

■ Application

Visionscape software and boards are designed to be used in in-dustrial machine vision and traceability applications by end us-ers, systems integrators, machine builders and original equip-ment manufacturers.

SIMATIC Visionscape machine vision systems, including the Visionscape 0xxx frame grabbers, are used in all industries in which industrial machine vision is applied:• Automotive assembly (especially in final assembly, compo-

nents and body shop) • Packaging inspection in pharmaceutical, food & beverage,

luxury goods industries• Electronic and Electrical assembly • Semiconductor packaging (backend production)• Medical device inspection• General manufacturing assembly and inspection

Visionscape 0xxx frame grabbers are particularly applicable in systems where the host CPU can be dedicated to the machine vision application.

■ Design

Each machine vision system with Visionscape frame grabbers consists of a host PC (configurations with SIMATIC PCs are rec-ommended as they are completely tested), the SIMATIC Vision-scape Software, one PCI industrial machine vision frame grab-ber board, and at least one camera connected and powered via cable. Normally included are I/O connections via internal I/O board – for configuration with up to two cameras – or external I/O board – for up to four cameras.

The PCI frame grabber boards (for 0800 optional Universal PCI) operate under the Windows 2000 or Windows XP. All frame grab-bers depend on the host PC's memory and CPU to store and process images.

All Visionscape boards have on-board discrete I/O connections for camera triggering, strobe control, and up to 16 programma-ble bi-directional I/O. To leverage these I/Os additional I/O ac-cessories are required (read more in section “Integration”).

Visionscape frame grabber boards can be connected to a stan-dard 5 V PCI 2.2 compliant bus expansion slot. They require a half-length slot.The 0800 board in particular can be also connected to a 3.3 V/64 bit Universal PCI 2.3 compliant bus. The usage of the Universal PCI bus allows this board a faster data transfer to the host PC's CPU and memory.

■ Integration

Integration in SIMATIC PCs

The SIMATIC Visionscape Software and boards is and will be completely tested on the existing SIMATIC PCs. As the offering of SIMATIC PCs is constantly extended and updated with newer technology we have to test the SIMATIC Visionscape product line on these new PCs as well.

The readme file on the SIMATIC Visionscape Software CD (see “Further Information”) contains always the latest supported SI-MATIC PCs as well as the recommended configurations.

Visionscape can also run on other vendors' PCs. But only con-figurations with SIMATIC PCs are extensively tested and there-fore ensured to run without problems.

Minimum host PC requirement• Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz or higher with a minimum of 256 MB mem-

ory• VGA display adapter – 64K or true color • Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 or Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or

later • One open +5 V/32 bit PCI 2.2 compliant expansion slot (half

length) Important note for 0800 board: The additional connector fin-gers of the board's Universal PCI extend beyond PCI standard connector. This does not affect the board's functioning.

• Alternative for 0800 board only: One open +3.3 V/64 bit Uni-versal PCI 2.3 compliant expansion slot (half length) – The us-age of the Universal PCI bus allows the 0800 board a faster data transfer to the host PC's CPU and memory.

• If I/O is required: one open slot for internal I/O board or I/O fil-ter board bezel for external I/O board

Supported cameras

When used with a PC-based board the software can be config-ured to interface with all kind of machine vision cameras, which can range from unsophisticated interlaced analog cameras with standard resolution, over progressive scan analog cameras with higher resolution, up to high resolution, high-speed digital Cam-eraLink cameras and even line scan cameras.

This flexibility is implemented by the choice of Visionscape board (see “Vision systems”) and a camera specific definition file, called CamDef file. Thus, almost all analog cameras and CameraLink Base level cameras can be connected to a Vision-scape system.

As Visionscape cannot be tested with all existing cameras there is only a standard set of cameras with which Visionscape was extensively tested that can cover most of the applications. The tested set of cameras per board is described in the readme file on the SIMATIC Visionscape Software CD (see “Further informa-tion”) as well is the board hardware documentation.

But in cases where other cameras are required already existing camera definition files can be used or new ones can be created. Those new camera definition files will be created and tested by Siemens, they cannot be created by the customer itself.

If you need a new camera supported please contact your local Vision Promoter or Vision Specialist. We will require in most cases the camera and its documentation to be sent to us. A ser-vice fee might apply.

I/O Connections

All Visionscape boards have on-board discrete I/O connections for camera triggering, strobe control, and up to 16 programma-ble bi-directional I/O.

These I/O points are distributed via a 50-pin connector on the board that requires additional accessories depending on the specific application requirements:

For applications with up to two cameras and no analog output re-quirements: • PC-internal 10-point I/O and strobe control board

(6GF3080-0VS10-0SM0)Contains 2 trigger inputs, 2 strobe outputs, 4 digital output & 2 digital input channelsMounts into an open PC bezel slot (without connection to PCI bus) – thus requires an additional open PC slot

For applications with up to four cameras and/or an analog output requirement:

• Multiple selectable opto-isolated input and output modules to plug into the 16 open slots of external I/O boardfor more information see product area “Accessories for SI-MATIC Visionscape”

Line scan applications

Line scan applications can only be done with the 0800 Camer-aLink frame grabber and specific line scan cameras. The line scan image acquisition of these cameras needs to be synchro-nized with a movement encoder in the factory process.

The 0800 board supports such an encoder input with an on-board connector. To bring this connector to the PC outside an additional cable with bezel is required. This encoder cable with bezel is available as separate accessory with the order no. 6GF3080-0VS08-0EC0.

SIMATIC Visionscape 4000 Vision Processors

5/100 Siemens FS 10 · 2008

■ Overview

The SIMATIC Visionscape 4000 series vision processors are complete high-performance vision systems in a single PCI slot. These boards feature an on-board CPU, vision acceleration ASIC, memory, and VGA display output. Therefore, they com-pletely off-load all vision processing operations from the host PC CPU.

These boards also feature on-board dedicated digital I/O and support a variety of machine vision cameras through camera in-terface daughter cards. An on-board real-time multitasking op-erating system assures deterministic operation. System configu-rations can be scaled up without affecting performance or footprint by simply adding more processor boards in the same PCI backplane.


SIMATIC Visionscape 4300 Analog Vision Processor: • Interlaced analog cameras only• Four multiplexed channels

SIMATIC Visionscape 4740 Analog Vision Processor: • Progressive scan & interlaced analog cameras• Four independent channels • High resolution up to 2 K x 2 K pixels • Supports special features such as electronic shuttered, frame


■ Benefits

In addition to the benefits common to all SIMATIC Visionscape boards (see SIMATIC Visionscape 0xxx Frame Grabbers, sec-tion “Benefits” on page 5/94) the Visionscape 4000 vision pro-cessors have the following additional advantages:• The Visionscape 4000 vision processor boards can be pro-

grammed to not require any host CPU resource. As all 4000 boards contain also there own VGA graphics output not even the host PC's graphics card is used.

• The real time operating system provides deterministic opera-tion. A deterministic operation is one that, given the same in-put, always produces the same output.

• Systems can be configured with multiple boards (up to six) to implement vision systems with very high data throughput.

■ Application

SIMATIC Visionscape software and boards are designed to be used in industrial machine vision and traceability applications by end users, systems integrators machine builders and original equipment manufacturers.

SIMATIC Visionscape machine vision systems, including the Visionscape 4000 vision processors, are used in all industries in which industrial machine vision is applied:• Automotive assembly (especially in final assembly, compo-



For systems where the PC is largely dedicated to another pro-cess such as cell control or HMI display the 4000 series Vision Engine should be specified. 4000 boards operate completely in-dependent of the host PC and can be deployed in even in mas-sively parallel configuration with up to six boards in a suitable PC.

■ Design

Each machine vision system with Visionscape 4000 vision pro-cessors consists of a host PC (configurations with SIMATIC PCs are recommended as they are completely tested), the SIMATIC Visionscape Software, one or more PCI vision processor boards, and cameras connected and powered via cable. Normally in-cluded are I/O connections via internal I/O board – for configu-ration with up to two cameras per board – or external I/O board – for up to four cameras per board.

The 4000 vision processors operate under the Windows 2000 and Windows XP. All 4000 boards include an on-board RISC CPU, a vision acceleration ASIC, their own memory, and a VGA display output that remove all image processing and analysis load from the host CPU as well as allow even a complete graph-ics output from the board directly without using the host PC's graphics card. This architecture allows these boards to run as a complete independent vision processing system that uses the host PC only for power supply (via the PCI bus) and to commu-nicated with other processes that run on the host PC, like Soft-PLCs, HMI systems, databases, and others.

All Visionscape boards have on-board discrete I/O connections for camera triggering, strobe control, and up to 16 programma-ble bi-directional I/O. To leverage these I/Os additional I/O ac-cessories are required (read more in section “Integration”).

Visionscape 4000 boards mount into a standard 5V PCI 2.2 com-pliant bus expansion slot. They require a half-length slot (this should be considered when selecting suitable PCs).

Included in packages

Every Visionscape 4000 vision processor package contains the following components:• Vision processor board• Connection kit for external I/O board

Consists of 50-pin ribbon cable and I/O filter board with bezel• Internal power cable to connect board to PC internal 12V

power supply; required to supply 12V power to analog cam-eras

• Camera splitter adapter for up to four cameras• SIMATIC Visionscape Software 2.5 and complete documenta-

tion on CD

Not included in packages

Not included in board packages but in most cases required are the following components:• Any I/O components, like internal or external I/O board

These components are available as accessories (see section “Integration” and product area “Accessories for SIMATIC Vi-sionscape”)

• Any cameras or camera cablesThe most common cameras (together with the required ca-bles) are available as accessories (see section “Integration / Supported cameras”)

• Any PCsThe SIMATIC Visionscape product line is tested on current SI-MATIC PCs (see section “Integration” below)

Also not included and required only for specific applications are the following components:• Dongle to enable Intellifind object locator tool

(USB dongle: 6GF3080-0VS00-2KF0; Parallel dongle: 6GF3080-0VS00-1KF0)Required for applications that take use of the Intellifind object locator tool (see product area “Accessories for SIMATIC Vi-sionscape”)

■ Function

The Visionscape software and board family provide all the ele-ments required to acquire and process images in an industrial environment.

Visionscape vision processor boards should be specified for systems• where the host CPU needs to perform other intensive tasks

than just vision processing • where multiple boards are required to process data in parallel.

4000 boards in one PC can be connected to each other to syn-chronize image acquisition and processing, and share results.

One Visionscape board can be configured to simultaneously ac-quire images from up to four cameras.

One PC can contain as many 4000 boards as free PCI slots are available (have in mind the required free slots for I/O filter board bezel) and as the power supply of the PC can support.

Board selection guide

Specify the Visionscape 4300 Analog Vision Processor for cost-sensitive applications that can be solved with up to four stan-dard resolution (VGA, CCIR) interlaced cameras

Specify the Visionscape 4740 Analog Vision Processor for appli-cations• that require up to four progressive scan analog cameras• that require higher resolutions or higher speeds• that require simultaneous image acquisition on up to four

channels • that require different camera resolutions

■ Integration

Visionscape systems are typically configured as stand alone, in-tegrated or embedded systems in an industrial environment. In-terfaces will typically consist of discrete IO connections to trig-ger sensors, lighting controllers, and to PLCs or reject actuators.

The system can be configured to actuate on receipt of a serial command received by means of a RS232 or a Ethernet TCP/IP connection.

Results data can be delivered by means of RS232 serial or Eth-ernet TCP/IP connection. The Visionscape system can be con-figured as a server or client on a TCP/IP network.

■ Overview

Accessories for the SIMATIC Visionscape PC-based machine vision product line consist of• Hardware dongles • Cameras and their cables • I/O modules • Cables

See section "Function" for a detailed description of all parts.

■ Function

Dongles

The SIMATIC Visionscape Software requires the presence of a Visionscape board or an intelligent camera HawkEye 1600T to operate in full licensed mode. If the user needs to run Vision-scape on a separate host without a board or a networked cam-era for purposes such as off-line application development a don-gle is required to license the software.

Additionally the Intellifind Object Finder Tool requires a separate dongle (only for PC-based systems, separate options are avail-able for the HawkEye 1600T Intelligent Camera).

Dongles are available in parallel port DB25 or USB configura-tions.

The following dongles are available:• Visionscape USB dongle (6GF3080-0VS00-2KS0)• Visionscape parallel port dongle (6GF3080-0VS00-1KS0)• Intellifind USB dongle (6GF3080-0VS00-2KF0)• Intellifind parallel port dongle (6GF3080-0VS00-1KF0)• In cases that a PC requires both licenses (Visionscape & Intel-

lifind) both dongles need to be purchased. An instruction sheet coming with each dongle gives further help how to in-stall both dongles correctly.

Cameras

Supported cameras

The SIMATIC Visionscape boards and software can be config-ured to interface with all kind of machine vision cameras, which can range from unsophisticated interlaced analog cameras with standard resolution, over progressive scan analog cameras with higher resolution, up to high resolution, high-speed digital Cam-eraLink cameras and even line scan cameras.

This flexibility is implemented by the choice of Visionscape board (see “Vision systems”) and a camera specific definition file, called CamDef file. Thus, almost all analog cameras and CameraLink Base level cameras can be connected to a Vision-scape system.

As Visionscape cannot be tested with all existing cameras there is only a standard set of cameras with which Visionscape was extensively tested that can cover most of the applications. The tested set of cameras per board is described in the readme file (see “Further Information”) as well is the board hardware docu-mentation.

In cases where other cameras are required already existing camera definition files can be used or new ones can be created. Those new camera definition files will be created and tested by Siemens, they cannot be created by the customer itself.

Other Cables

Multiboard synchronization cable for Visionscape 4000 Vision Processor Boards

Visionscape 4000 boards support simultaneous image capture over multiple boards by means a the master/slave trigger syn-chronization. This feature is implemented by means of a cable that joins all the synchronous trigger connectors on the boards to be synchronized.

The multiboard slave cable consists of a multi conductor cable with multiple connector and wire loops that correspond to the boards to be synchronized. The user must cut the wire loop cor-responding to the board that is to be the master.

Encoder cable with bezel for line scan synchronization with Visionscape 0800 CameraLink Board

Line scan applications can only be done with the 0800 Camer-aLink frame grabber and specific line scan cameras. The line scan image acquisition of these cameras needs to be synchro-nized with a movement encoder in the factory process.

The 0800 board supports such an encoder input with an on-board connector. To bring this connector to the PC outside this accessory cable with bezel is required. The bezel mounts into an open PC slot without PCI-bus connection.

■ Function

SIMATIC Visionscape Software provides all the elements re-quired to develop and deploy machine vision applications in an industrial environment.

The engineering user interface FrontRunner enables the user to quickly and easily create vision application of different levels of complexity that can be downloaded to any of the Visionscape boards as well as to the intelligent camera HawkEye 1600T de-pending on specific application needs.

In the standard runtime interface AppRunner the user can start/stop the application, collect and review fail images, as well as present other diagnostic information, thus providing the user with complete system status.

In addition a complete set of ActiveX components allows the cre-ation of custom user interfaces and even the programmatic cre-ation of vision applications on the fly.

User levels are almost as varied as the applications that can benefit from a Visionscape solution as such, the configuration environment can be tailored to different user types to allow for the maximum productivity. • Application engineers and system integrators to quickly de-

velop and deploy complex vision applications without any conventional programming by dragging and dropping stan-dard tools into jobs configured as a sequence of processing steps

• Application developers, machine builders and OEMs to create customized applications with custom graphical user inter-faces fully integrated with their machine controller interface

• Installers and factory floor operators to select, set-up, and try-out preprogrammed applications and start, stop and monitor such applications on the factory floor

Comprehensive collection of intelligent tools

The broad collection of vision processing tools delivered with the SIMATIC Visionscape software includes: • Image processing tools

Image arithmetic, image rotation and warping, binary & gray scale morphology, edge enhancement, other image filtering, etc.

• Image analysis toolsFlaw detection, histogram analysis, blob analysis, edge detection & fitting, vector edge detection and fitting, template & pattern recognition, object location & orientation detection, etc.

• Calibrated dimensional measurementsVariety of preconfigured measurements such as line intersec-tion, point to point distance, point-to-line normal, etc.

• Automatic identification toolsData Matrix and other 2D and 1D bar code reading, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), etc.

• Application specific high-level tools Optical Character Verification (OCV) for print/mark inspection, Ball Grid Array (BGA) inspection, etc.

• Custom toolsUser-defined expressions & math, custom measurements and custom scripted vision processing tools (e.g. C++ algorithms)

■ Integration


The SIMATIC Visionscape Software and boards is and will be completely tested on the existing SIMATIC PCs. As the offering of SIMATIC PCs is constantly extended and updated with newer technology we have to test the SIMATIC Visionscape product line on these new PCs as well.

The readme file (see “Further Information”) contains always the latest supported SIMATIC PCs as well as the recommended con-figurations.

Visionscape can also run on other vendors' PCs. But only con-figurations with SIMATIC PCs are extensively tested and there-fore ensured to run without problems.

Supported cameras

When used with a PC-based board the software can be config-ured to interface with all kind of machine vision cameras, which can range from unsophisticated interlaced analog cameras with standard resolution, over progressive scan analog cameras with higher resolution, up to high resolution, high-speed digital Cam-eraLink cameras and even line scan cameras.

This flexibility is implemented by the choice of Visionscape board (see “Vision systems”, page 5/82) and a camera specific definition file, called CamDef file. Thus, almost all analog cam-eras and CameraLink Base level cameras can be connected to a Visionscape system.

As Visionscape cannot be tested with all existing cameras there is only a standard set of cameras with which Visionscape was extensively tested that can cover most of the applications. The tested set of cameras per board is described in the readme file (see “Further Information”) as well is the board hardware docu-mentation.

But in cases where other cameras are required already existing camera definition files can be used or new ones can be created. Those new camera definition files will be created and tested by Siemens, they cannot be created by the customer itself.


Connectivity

Visionscape systems are typically configured as stand alone, in-tegrated or embedded systems in an industrial environment. In-terfaces will typically consist of discrete I/O connections to trig-ger sensors, lighting controllers, and to PLCs or reject actuators. For further information about I/O connections and additionally required accessories please see the section “Integration” of the specific Visionscape boards under “Vision systems”.

The system can be configured to actuate on receipt of a serial command received by means of a RS232 or a Ethernet TCP/IP connection.

Results data can be delivered by means of RS232 serial or Eth-ernet TCP/IP connection. The Visionscape system can be con-figured as a server or client on a TCP/IP network.

Lenses

■ Overview

Using a lens appropriate to the respective image evaluation task, the size of the image field at a desired working distance is determined for the camera image. In order to achieve repro-ducible statements from the image evaluation concerning the position, measurement or quality, the geometry and light inten-sity for the image must be kept constant within the permissible tolerances. For this reason, only lenses with a fixed focal length, aperture and focus are usually used. Motorized zoom, automatic aperture or autofocus are more detrimental than helpful.

■ Application

• Measuring tasks and form recognitionFor high-precision, reproducible measurement of geometric variables, a full-format image is necessary to satisfy resolution requirements. Lenses must therefore be selected that have low distortion, high modulation depth and a small angle of view. Telecentric lenses are recommended for objects that have protrusions in the direction of the lens.

• Quality control and parts recognition For recognition or inspection of the features of an object on the surface, the quality of the results depends on contrast and lack of distortion of the image. Macro lenses are often used at close range.

• Code and text readingThe recognition algorithms are tolerant to variations in form and size of the patterns. The requirements on quality of the optics are not very high. Low-cost lenses contribute towards the cost-effectiveness of image evaluation systems especially when they are used in more than one reading station.

• Check for completeness and handlingFor localization and pattern recognition, the same criteria apply as for measurement tasks or parts recognition.

■ Function

Image types

The optical path of the lens is defined by its construction.

For spherical lenses the solid angle depends on the focal length, focus adjustment and aperture; all rays run through the focal point of the lens (central projection). Objects that are fur-ther away from the lens are depicted smaller; objects that are closer to the lens are depicted larger:

The required image field size (height and width of the image), the size of the sensor chip and the focal length of the lens determine the operating distance:

d = (f x IS) / b

d = Operating distance (distance from lens to test object) in mm

f = Focal length of the lens in mm

IS = Size of image in the plane of the test object in mm

b = effective dimensions of the sensor in mm

In the case of lenses used in image processing systems, the focal length is fixed, the aperture and focus settings can be fixed. The focal length, the maximum focal aperture and the focusing range are normally specified on the lenses.

Focal distance

The focal length makes a statement about the angle of the image field or magnification of the lens.

The focal length of the lens is determined by the size of the required image field and the size of the camera chip when a specific distance has to be maintained. The most common chip sizes in cameras today are ½", 1/3" and ¼". If the distance to the object lies below the adjustable focusing range of the lens, i.e. at close range, the focus can be adjusted using intermediate rings.

If the seating dimensions are designed for CS-Mount lenses in this camera, as for VS 100 and VS 720, a 5 mm intermediate ring can be used to adjust a C-Mount lens.

Aperture

Reduction of the light intensity by interrupting the optical path.

Focus

Setting the focus of the lens to a specific distance.

Depth of field

Depth of field is the area within which (in front of and behind the object) that is displayed with sufficient sharpness of focus. The larger the aperture (the smaller the aperture number), the smaller the depth of field.

Lenses with a larger focal length have a smaller depth of field, the effect is considerable for images at close range.

Lens types

Lenses with smaller focal length are called wide-angle lenses, they can also be used at short operating distances, but produce intense distortion of the image. At a suitable distance, they have a large image field.

Lenses with a long focal length are called telephoto lenses; they have a large magnification but cannot be focused at close range, so macro lenses are used that can be focused by means of large telescopic extensions or intermediate rings. At a suitable distance, they have a small image field.

In the case of telecentric lenses, at least the optical path at the object end is almost parallel (parallel projection). This means that objects at different distances are depicted in the same size. Objects can, however, only be displayed that are smaller than the diameter of the lens. It is not possible to adjust the range of focus with these lenses.

The optical characteristics can be restricted by means of optical filter glasses to counteract distortion in the image. Colored filters limit the spectral range, gray filters limit the light intensity and polarization filters restrict the transmission plane. Filters of this type can be attached either by using the internal thread or the flange on the front of the lens. The holder for the filter glass is designed to fit the lens.

■ Overview

Halogen machine lamp 6GF9 004-1AM

Images from a camera are a depiction of the reflected light of an object on the sensor chip (CMOS or CCD). To enable auto-matic evaluation of these images with the aid of computers,

the objects should be captured in the image field with plenty of contrast and in a reliably reproducible manner. Lighting that has been optimized for visualization of the objects is therefore indispensable for satisfactory operation of the image processing system.

Homogeneous and constant lighting of the complete image field or object, independent of the ambient light, is a precondition for obtaining reproducible position, measurement and quality re-sults from the image evaluation system. Application-specific lighting must therefore be installed and external light sources should be blocked whenever possible.

The size and type of lighting is determined on the one hand from the shape and size of the reflecting surface and on the other hand from the distance and angle of the light from the image field or object. Flat surfaces can be lit simply but depressions, cylindrical or spherical surfaces require more complex lighting. When lighting is selected, any unusual ambient conditions or requirements of the mechanical system and availability of the lights must be taken into account. The task and object properties determine the characteristics of the lighting.

■ Application

Different types of lamps are used for the lighting for image processing. The lamp selected for the solution must correspond to the requirements in the machine or environment in which it is used:

Measuring tasks and form recognition

Illumination in transmitted light is appropriate when measuring geometric values with a high accuracy and reproducibility. Unevenness and different colors on the surface of the object cannot affect the image processing.

Quality control and parts recognition

If the characteristics of an object have to be recognized or in-spected on the surface, it is illuminated in incident light from the direction of the camera. Strongly reflecting surfaces ideally require diffuse incident light which can be extremely costly to in-stall. Either the active surface of the lamp must be much larger than the object or the light source must be integrated into the beam path of the lens.

Reading code and plain text

High-contrast images of printed surfaces are required to assure high recognition rates. Transmitted light can only be imple-mented for these tasks in a small number of cases. It is therefore usually only possible to work with incident light and therefore light-field lighting. For codes produced by damaging the surface with a laser or punch, it is recommended that dark-field lighting is used.

Check for completeness and handling

For localization and pattern recognition, a combination of sev-eral lighting types is necessary when both the outer contour and surface characteristics must be depicted with excellent contrast.

Machine lamps

Machine lamp 6GF9 004-1AV with mirrored parabolic grid

Machine lamps are ideally suited to illuminating large areas due to their 36 W fluorescent tubes. Their 24 V DC supply and ignition with electronic ballast units at a high frequency of approximately 30 kHz minimizes flicker and variations resulting in a constant light intensity. In addition, electromagnetic interference is pre-vented by the high voltage and the service life of the lamp is increased.

In the version with a parabolic grid, the light distribution is direc-tional and can be used with a flat beam as dark-field lighting.

A fresnel ensures almost completely regular lighting of the image field (light-field lighting).

Machine lamp 6GF9 004-1AW, with fresnel, 36 W

Halogen emitter 20 W

20 W halogen emitters are particularly suitable for illuminating small areas with a high intensity. They emit a constant, direc-tional light whose alignment can be intensified using a reflector. Fixing by means of a screw-on flange and alignment with a ball joint supports easy and reliable mounting on machine components.

LED lights

LED lights are available in various construction types as spot, line, area or ring lights that can be mounted task-specifically. These can radiate light of different colors (white, red). With the appropriate control electronics, they can also be designed as a flash lamp.

LED spot with 6-degree and 25-degree transmission angle

LED spot 6GF9 004-1BA (6 degrees), 6GF9 004-1BB (25 degrees)

These spots are easy to integrate due to their small size and low weight and emit a permanently concentrated white light. Fixing on threaded pins with lock nut and alignment with a ball joint supports easy mounting on machine components.

LED ring lamps

LED ring lamps can be used over a wide area for homogeneous illumination in incident light. They are available as permanent lights or flash lamps with red and white light. A diffuser disc prevents strong reflections from metallic surfaces. Fixing with an M6 thread or centrally on the lens is universal.

LED area lamps

LED area lamps can be used for transmitted light with a diffuser disc that prevents individual LEDs being visible. In incident light, a diffuser disc prevents strong reflections from metallic surfaces. They are available as permanent lights or flash lamps with red and white light. It is fixed using M6 threads in the casing.

Decision-making criteria• Dimensions

The dimensions of the lamp are determined by the size of the object or image field, the working distance and the position tolerances.

• Reflective properties The reflective properties of the surface of the object and the background and the distance determine the intensity of the light and therefore the heating level.

• Service life and aging properties The service life and aging properties of the illuminant deter-mine the long-term stability of image processing or the rele-vant service intervals.

• Availability and costs Availability and costs as well as space constraints can also significantly influence selection of the lamps.

■ Function

Lighting types

With transmitted light the object is illuminated from behindwith a large lamp area emitting a diffuse beam which produces a shadow outline image with sharp edges and a high level of contrast:

Example of transmitted light:

With incident light the object is illuminated from the direction of the camera. Ideally, diffuse incident light causes minimal shadow effects in the image and no total reflection from the object:

Example of incident light:

With bright-field lighting, diffuse incident light, the surface is shown bright and depressions are shown dark in the image.

Example of bright-field lighting:

In dark-field lighting, directional light below a flat angle, the surface remains dark and edges, protrusions or impressions are displayed bright.

Example of dark-field lighting:

With flash lighting, fast-moving objects can be captured and distortion due to motion can be avoided. The correct flash point is controlled by the image processing system to achieve the best image.
