Communication Channels
The iVu Plus BCR supports up to four communications channels. To access the channels, go to Main Menu > System > Communica-
tions .
• Command Channel — a bi-directional communication protocol that currently supports ASCII and enables other devices to remotely
control the iVu Plus sensor and access sensor results
• Industrial Ethernet — a bi-directional communication channel that allows the user to control the sensor and access sensor results
using Ethernet/IP, Modbus/TCP, or PCCC protocol
• Data Export — used to export selected inspection data to a remote device
• Image Export — used to export inspection images to a remote device
Data export and command channel can be configured for either Ethernet or Serial I/O (but not both); image export is only available over
Ethernet. The table below briefly summarizes valid communication channel configuration options.
