Relevant for combined applications with single deep and double deep racks: The im-
age brightness and illumination time must be set high enough to achieve image bright-
ness which is sufficient even in double deep racks. However, the camera image must
not be too brightly lit in single deep racks.
1.
Activate
Maintenance
user level.
2.
If necessary, deactivate the
Double deep
parameter in the
Rack Fine Positioning
area.
The device is in Single deep mode.
3.
Open the
Camera adjustment
window.
4.
How to set the image brightness in Single deep mode:
−
In the
Camera configuration
area, set the
Gain factor
parameter (recom-
mendation: 1.0 - 2.0).
−
In the
Camera configuration
area, set the
Shutter time [µs]
parameter
(recommendation: 80…200 µs).
NOTE
For good image brightness, observe the edges of the positioning mark and any to-
tal reflections of the background as decision-making criteria. With holes, the dark
circle must be clearly differentiated from the light background. With reflectors,
the light circle must be clearly differentiated from the dark background. The illu-
mination time cannot be set separately for single and double deep applications.
5.
Activate the
Double deep
parameter in the
Rack Fine Positioning
area.
The device is in Double deep mode.
6.
Increase the
Gain factor
parameter in Double deep mode to a value which offers
sufficient image brightness for positioning marks in double deep racks. Do not set
values greater than 5 to prevent increased image noise. If higher values are nec-
essary, adjust the illumination time accordingly.
7.
Check the settings in Single deep mode again. If necessary, reduce the
Gain fac-
tor
parameter in Single deep mode.
8.
Activate the
Perform auto gain
parameter in order to automatically set a suitable
image brightness using the Auto-gain assistant.
The device records a series of images and automatically sets the
Gain factor
parameter. The Auto-gain assistant and continuous measurement are auto-
matically deactivated after they are successfully executed.
5.3.8
Setting up Ethernet interface
The device supports various communication protocols when using the Ethernet
interface. The communication protocol used is set in SOPASair:
1.
Open the
Interfaces
window in SOPASair.
2.
Set the communication protocol in the
Ethernet mode
area.
3.
Also define the IP address and port used so that communication between the con-
trol and the device runs smoothly.
The device also offers the option of transmitting images via the file transfer protocol
(FTP). The respective destination address can also be set up in the
Interfaces
window.
5.3.9
Additional parameters
Other parameters for fine adjustment of the device are available in the
Maintenance
user level. These additional parameters are not relevant for most applications, how-
ever. A table listing and explanation of all parameters can be found in the appendix,
see 6.1 Parameter, page 32
