Step 2 — Connect the System

Ethernet Standalone Setup

• Mount the camera (1) as required by the application.

• Ensure that the camera (1) is the optimal distance of 2” to 6” from the inspection area.

• Connect the M12 (power and I/O) end of the camera’s cable to the power supply (3).

• Connect the RJ45 (Ethernet) end of the camera’s cable to the host.

• Plug in the power supply (3) and apply power to the camera (1).

Ethernet Standalone with QX-1 Setup

• Mount the camera (1) as required by the application.

• Ensure that the camera (1) is the optimal distance of 2” to 6” from the inspection area.

• Connect the M12 (power and I/O) end of the camera’s cable to “2” on the QX-1 (2).

• Connect the RJ45 (Ethernet) end of the camera’s cable to the host.

• Connect the power supply (3) to “3” on the QX-1.

• Connect the photo sensor (4) to “T” on the QX-1.

• Plug in the power supply (3) and apply power to the camera (1).

Refer to the Vision MINI Xi Smart Camera Guide for additional configuration options.

Step 3 — Mount and Position the Camera

1. Place the camera and object in a location with as little ambient light as possible.

2. Position the camera at a focal distance between 2” and 6” from the object.

3. Tip the camera relative to the object to avoid glare from specular reflection. Avoid excessive skew

or pitch. Maximum skew is ±30°; maximum pitch is ±30°.

Proper lighting is critical to the success of a machine vision application. The Vision MINI Xifeatures

integrated lighting (WVGA: built-in red LEDs @ 617nm; SXGA: built-in red LEDs @ 617nm; QXGA:

built-in white LEDs). Depending on the requirements of your application, you may also need to add

external lighting from Omron Microscan NERLITE family of machine vision lighting products.

Consider the following:

• Is the surface of the object flat, slightly bumpy, or very bumpy?

•Is the surface matte or shiny?

•Is the object curved or flat?

•What is the color of the object or area being inspected?

•Is the object moving or stationary?

Machine vision lighting should maximize contrast of the areas or features being inspected while

minimizing the contrast of everything else.

Camera / Object Positioning

Step 5 — Connect to the Camera

After you launch AutoVISION, you will see the Select a device to start editing a job view.

Note: If there is a default job on the camera, AutoVISION will automatically skip the Connect step and you

will see the Image view.

1. Select your camera from the Select Device dropdown menu.

2. Click the Modify button beneath the camera settings details to change camera settings.

3. Choose whether you want to create a new job, load a job (.avp), or upload a job from the camera.

captured images, set tool parameters, and configure I/O inspection outputs.

Step 8 — Explore the Interface

The Edit view features a large image area with tool icons above and tool parameters below. When a tool

is selected, its parameters appear below the image area.

Tools that have been added are shown in the job list to the left of the image area, below Camera.

Image settings can be controlled using the icons in the corners of the image area.

Step 4 — Install AutoVISION

Photometry (Exposure and Gain), Focus, and Lighting.

Step 10 — Add Tools to the Job

1. Click on the Decode Tool or drag it onto the image area.

2. Use the anchor points at the corners of the region of interest to form a box around the Data Matrix

symbol. Leave plenty of space on each side of the symbol.

3. Now add a second Decode Tool and do the same for the 1D symbol below the Data Matrix symbol.

4. Finally, add an OCR Tool and drag the region of interest around the area of the image where “123456”

is printed.

Step 11 — Try Out the Job

Once you have configured the tools as desired, use the arrow icons in the Job area to try the job you have

just created.

Note: Most jobs will inspect multiple captured images. If only one image is being inspected, the effect of the

arrow icons will not be evident.
