Image Log Acquisition Settings and Reception Start/End
The image log acquisition function is a function that stores the images captured by the vision sensor with
the conditions set with the job (Always/OK images/NG images) while the vision sensor is communicating
with the controller in online mode.
Using this function makes it possible to check afterwards on images that could not be recognized and
track down the reason why they could not be recognized.
In order to acquire the image log, the FTP server is started on the PC on which the images are stored, so
set the FTP server user name and password.
This section explains the method for acquiring the image log using MELFA-Vision.
(1) Display the MELFA-Vision image log setting screen.
From the MELFA-Vision menu, click [Sensor] - [Image Log] - [Setting] or from the MELFA-Vision tool
bar, click
to display the "Image Log Setting" screen.
(2) Enter the FTP server user name and password on the displayed "Image Log Setting" screen.
This user name and password are the ones for the FTP server and are different from the user name
and password for logging on to the vision sensor. However, the same user name and password may
be set for both.
Also, enter here the same user name and password as for the "Job Editing" screen "Image Log" tab
"User Name of FTP" and "Passward of FTP".
For details on the “Image Log” tab setting method, see "9.2.2
Job Editing screen ([Image Log] tab)
".
The storage destination for acquired images can be changed with the [Browse] button.
When the settings are complete, click the [OK] button to close the "Image Log Setting" screen.
The next time the "Image Log Setting" screen is opened, the screen is opened with the same
settings as the previous time. To make the same settings as the previous time, remove the check
from the [Change User Name] check box.
(3) When the image log is started, the FTP server is started.
From the MELFA-Vision menu, click [Sensor] - [Image Log] - [Start Log] or from the MELFA-Vision
tool bar, click
.
When the FTP server starts up and image log reception becomes possible,
is displayed at the right end of the status bar of the MELFA-Vision main
screen.
In this state, the vision sensor images are stored in the specified folder under the conditions set with
the "Jog Editing" screen "Image Log" tab.
(4) When the image log is ended, the FTP server is ended.
From the MELFA-Vision menu, click [Sensor] - [Image Log] - [Quit Log] or from the MELFA-Vision
tool bar, click
.
When the image log processing ends,
is no longer displayed at the right
end of the status bar of the MELFA-Vision main screen.
