2-1 Special Features

The F250 Vision Sensor uses a camera instead of the human eye to process images and inspect products. Visual inspections can be automated to perform complicated inspections quickly and accurately.
There were problematic cases in which Vision Sensors could not detect differ­ences that could be detected by the human eye. The F250 is a high-perfor­mance Vision Sensor that solves many of these problems.

Troubleshooting Section 5-1

5-1-4 Serial Interface (RS-232C/RS-422) Errors

Problem Probable cause
No communications are possible. The cables are not correctly wired.
The F250’s communications specifications do not match those of the external device.
The communications mode was not selected under System settings/ Communication/Serial.
Select Normal, Host link, or Menu in the Communications (Serial) menu. (Normal is no-protocol.)
The status of communications can be checked with the I/O monitor.
The Unit operates well initially, but after a while there is no response from the F250.
Cannot perform menu operations from the computer.
Data cannot be saved • Are the same communications conditions set for both the external

device and the F250?
• Is flow control turned OFF under S ystem settings/communication/ Normal? Refer to the F250 Operation Manual.

5-1-5 Cameras

Problem Probable cause
Are the shutter trigger pulses syn­chronized when more than one camera is connected?
The shutter trigger pulses are not synchronized for the F160-S1 and F150-S1. The timing is offset so that light from other Cameras does not enter. The offset depends on the model of Camera that is used.
Can more than one internally syn­chronized Cameras be connected?
Can the F150-LT10A Light be con­nected to the F160-S1 Camera?

5-1-6 Memory Cards

Problem Probable cause
Can either of the Memory Card slots be used?
Model F160-S1 F150-S1 tD Approx. 500
If a strobe is used, the strobe trigger signals are also offset in the same way as the shutter trigger pulses.
The shutter trigger pulses are synchronized for other Cameras, i.e., there is no offset.
No. Only one F200-S Camera (internal sync) can be connected, and it must be connected to Camera connector 0.
Yes, it can be connected and the following Lenses are available.
• Lens with 20-mm field of vision: F150-LE20
• Lens with 50-mm field of vision: F150-LE50
Only the following two functions have restrictions in the slot that can be used.
• Starting the Setup Menu: Slot 0 only

5-1-7 Serial Interface (Ethernet) Errors

Problem Probable cause
No communications are possible. A 10 Base-T Crossover Cable is not being used for a 1:1 connection.
10 Base-T Straight-through Cables are not being used for the 1:N connec­tions.
Power is not being supplied to the HUB, the settings are incorrect, or the connections are incorrect.
The personal computer’s IP Address and Subnet Mask settings are not correct or the settings are duplicated in another device.
The F250’s IP Address and Subnet Mask settings are not correct or the settings are duplicated in another device.
The IP Address set for the F250 in the computer’s communications soft­ware is incorrect.
The communications mode was set to Normal or Menu in the System settings/Communication/Serial window.
The status of communications can be checked with the I/O monitor. The F250 is being accessed by another computer. Communications are being affected by a noise source (such as a power
line) that is too close to the F250 or communications cables. Communications are not set for a TELNET connection (TCP/IP , port 23) in
the computer’s communications software.
The Unit operates well initially, but after a while there is no response from the F250.
The response from the F250 is slow. (It takes too long to transfer data and errors occur.)
Cannot perform menu operations from the computer.
The reception buffer on the external device (e.g., computer) is full. Check that settings allow the data to be properly received.
The IP Address of the F250 or computer is duplicated in another device. Communications are being affected by a noise source (such as a power
line) that is too close to the F250 or communications cables. The network’s communications load is too heavy. The computer’s processing load is too heavy. (A program that requires a
lot of processing capacity is being run simultaneously.) The communications mode was not set to Menu in the System settings/
Communication/Serial settings.

5-1-8 Cabling Errors

Problem Probable cause
A recommended OMRON RS-232C cable is not being used.
Can a commercially available cable be used instead of the R150-VM Monitor Cable?
One of the following OMRON cables can be used. Select a cable that works with the device being connected.
Connecting to a PC/AT or compatible computer (9-pin connector)
• XW2Z-200S-V (2 m)
• XW2Z-500S-V (5 m) Connecting to a SYSMAC device (9-pin connector)
• XW2Z-200T (2 m)
• XW2Z-500T (5 m) Yes, as long as it’s a pin jack cable (with a yellow connector) for video

5-6 Connecting a Strobe Device

Use the camera’s corresponding strobe trigger output signal (STGOUT0 to STGOUT3) to control the strobe flash timing.
SeeAlso Refer to page 32 for details on the pins allocated to these signals.
Check the strobe device's specifications and set the appropriate “Shutter trig­ger polarity” and “Shutter trigger width” in the Camera settings (Detail) Menu. The Camera settings (Detail) window is displayed at startup and can be dis­played at other times by selecting Camera settings from the System Menu.
