Overview of IV Series

Overview of IV Series

IV Series

The IV Series is an all-in-one “Vision Sensor” featuring a camera, a light, and a controller. This sensor can be attached easily so complicated detection operations such as detecting the shapes of parts with a photoelectric switch can be achieved easily.

Operation conditions settings require the IV Software, IV-Navigator (IV-H1) or

the intelligent monitor (IV M30). After setting is completed, the sensor can be operated independently. The IV Series operates as an EtherNet/IP communication adaptor or a PROFINET communication I/O device. With EtherNet/IP communication or PROFINET communication, the control output signal and status result, etc., can be input to the PLC as communication data.

EtherNet/IP

Overview of EtherNet/IP

Overview of EtherNet/IP

What is EtherNet/IP?

EtherNet/IP is an open industrial networking standard developed and maintained by the ODVA (Open

DeviceNet Vendor Association, Inc.). All supported devices can use the communication network regardless of the vendor.

Ethernet and an industrial protocol have been combined and standardized as EtherNet/IP (Industrial Protocol). Communication is achieved by combining a protocol called CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) and the TCP/ IP and Ethernet. This allows the network to be shared and used with standard Ethernet.

To start the Ethernet/IP communication, one device needs to open a communication line called a "connection" for the other device. The device that will open a connection is referred to as the "scanner", and the device whose connection will be opened is referred to as the "adapter" (IV series is an adapter device).

The EtherNet/IP communication offers the following two types of communications: Cyclic communication for sending and receiving data periodically (Implicit communication), and message communication for sending and receiving commands/responses at arbitrary timings.

In the cyclic communication, you can set the RPI (Request Packet Interval: communication cycle) based on the priority of the data to be sent/received, enabling sending/receiving of data with adjusted overall communication load. Various data including the control output, status result import, trigger control and switching to the set program No. can be communicated without a ladder program.

In the message communication, you can send/receive the required commands and responses at the required timings. The message communication is used for applications requiring no punctuality unlike the cyclic communication, such as for reading and writing the adapter device settings.

The IV series supports cyclic communication (Implicit communication).

communication Cyclic

What is cyclic communication?

This function enables cyclic (i.e. in fixed intervals) data communications with the EtherNet/IP devices.

This function provides high-speed control with several to several tens of milliseconds.

The communication can be controlled by referencing and updating the variables in the PLC, making it easy to control the programs on the PLC side.

					yyProgram switching control
					yyHandshake control

yyCommunication settings for the cyclic communication, such as the RPI (communication cycle) and the data size, will be configured on the PLC side.

yyIn a network with many connected devices (including the EtherNet/IP devices), a network delay and/ or packet loss may occur when there is a heavy load on the network. Conduct a thorough verification before the operation.

Cyclic communication setting method

This following explains the setting method when using the cyclic communication.

yyTo control the IV series using the EtherNet/IP communication, select [Network connection] for the sensor connection setting. When connected directly, the field network settings will be greyed out and disabled.

yyIf you have modified the protocol settings, the connection with the sensor will be terminated and then restarted.

Setting the IV series

You can configure the following settings for the IV series using the monitor (IV-M30) or IV-Navigator

(IV-H1).

When settings on the monitor (IV-M30)

Set the field network settings of the sensor to [EtherNet/IP].

1 Tap the [Sensor Advanced] button on the Sensor Setup Menu screen.

2 Tap the [Environmental] button, and then the [Adv. Network Settings] button.

3 Tap the [Settings] button in the “Field Network”.

PLC settings

You can set the following settings for the PLC:

(1)Set the connection to be used for the cyclic communication.

(2)Set the device to be used for the cyclic communication.

For details of the setting, refer to the instruction manual of each PLC.

If you are using the Keyence KV series, (1) and (2) can be set automatically simply by making a selection in KV STUDIO.

Establishing the connection

In the cyclic communication, one device opens a logical communication circuit called a “connection” for the other device; and data communication will become possible if the open is successful.

The device that will open a connection is referred to as the “scanner”, and the device whose connection will be opened is referred to as the “adapter”.

(IV series is an adapter device)

In the EtherNet/IP communication, a connection must be opened from the scanner when the cyclic communication is started.

The communication is started in the following procedure:

(1)The scanner requests a connection open request to the adapter.

(2)Compatibility will be checked on the adapter side.

(3)A connection will open if no error is encountered in the compatibility check.

(1)Connection open request

(2) Compatibility check

(3) Connection open

	Scanner		Adapter device

yyA compatibility check is used to check whether the device set by the scanner and the IV series are in match with one another, in order to prevent the scanner from communicating with a wrong device when it communicates with the IV series.

yyCommunication settings for the cyclic communication, such as the communication cycle (RPI) and the data size, will be configured on the scanner side.

In a network with many connected devices (including the EtherNet/IP devices), a network delay and/ or packet loss may occur when there is a heavy load on the network. Conduct a thorough verification before the operation.

There are many types of connections, and the connection available for each device are defined in the EDS file.

The following shows the list of connections that are available in the IV series.

	No	Connection name	Application type	I/O	Assembly	Size	RPI
					Instance	(bytes)
		Monitor Data And		This unit	64H (100)	2 to 392
		External Input		→ Scanner
	1		Exclusive Owner				5 to 10000ms
		(Monitor/External		Scanner	65H (101)	2 to 12

		Monitor Data (Input		This unit	64H (100)	2 to 392
				→ Scanner
	2	Only)	Input Only				5 to 10000ms
				Scanner
		(Monitor data)			FEH (254)	0
				→ This unit

When using the Keyence KV series (EtherNet/IP communication scanner), the names of the connections with the IV series will be “Monitor/External Input” and “Monitor Data”. The relationship of each connection

name is as described below.
1: Monitor Data And External Input			→ Monitor/External input
2: Monitor Data (Input Only)			→ Monitor data

yyThe trigger timings of each connection are controlled by the cyclic communications; and both the point- to-point and Multicast connection types are supported.

yyIf you wish to open “Exclusive Owner” and “Input Only” connections simultaneously, set the connection type to “Multicast” and match the RPI and the size.

yyThe details of each application type are as described below.

[Exclusive Owner]

yyThis connection allows you to configure the data transmission from the scanner to the IV series, and vice versa.

yyThis connection type is used when the scanner will not only monitor the data of the IV series but also provide external input to the IV series.

yyIt is not possible for multiple scanners to open "Exclusive Owner" connections for a single IV series unit.

[Input Only]

yyThis connection only allows you to configure the data transmission from the IV series to the scanner. yyThis connection is used when the scanner will only monitor the data of the IV series.

yyMultiple scanners can simultaneously open “Input Only” connections for a single IV series unit. yyIf connections will be opened simultaneously from multiple scanners, set the connection type to

“Multicast” and match the RPI and the size.
