Project Management

Sysmac Studio manages the configuration information of each of the controller, servo, and vision sen-

sor devices on a project basis.

Here, we describe the contents of the project data related to the FH/FHV Series and how the data is

managed.

Project data

Eight FH/FHV vision sensor series devices can be registered to one project.

In the FH/FHV Series, the following types of data provided by Sysmac Studio are managed as project

data.

Scene group data (scene data)

•

• System data

• Tool data (communications command macros, security settings, and other data)

By using the Multi-line Random-trigger Mode, the FH sensor controller independently processes multi-

ple processing lines at the same time. In Multi-line Random Trigger mode, the above data is controlled

separately for each line. (It can not be used with the FHV series.)

Project data manages this data together as one batch. These data can also be exported and imported

individually as file data.

Project Data Handling in Different System Configurations

The contents of the Sysmac Studio project data and the data being synchronized varies depending on

the connection method (i.e., Ethernet direct connection or connection through an NJ/NX/NY

Controller) between the FH/FHV sensor and the computer that runs Sysmac Studio. Particularly with

the connection through an NJ/NX/NY-series Controller, there are restrictions on some Sysmac Studio

functions. Be sure you understand the following before operation.

For details, refer to the 2-8 Precautions on Synchronization through an NJ/NX/NY-series Controller on

FH/FHV sensor

Uploading the set­tings data for the
FH/FHV sensor

Connection through an NJ/NX/NY-series

Controller (when executing an

NJ/NX/NY project)

The settings data for the FH/FHV sensor is
not downloaded.
Performing the data downloading from
Sysmac Studio will not download the data
that the FH/FHV sensor manages within
the project data that Sysmac Studio man­ages. Therefore, the settings for the
FH/FHV sensor will not be overwritten.
There are following two methods to down­load the FH/FHV settings data to the
FH/FHV sensor

.

• Directly connecting to the FH/FHV sen-

sor and downloading the data.

• Extracting the data from Sysmac Studio

and loading it to the FH/FHV sensor via
the external memory.

The settings data for the FH/FHV sensor is
not uploaded.
After performing the data uploading to Sys­mac Studio, all the FH/FHV settings data
values (i.e., the scene group data, the sys­tem data, the communications command
macros, and the security settings data) that
the FH/FHV sensor manages within the
project data that Sysmac Studio manages
will be reset to the factory defaults.
The device variables related to the FH/FHV
sensor in the I/O Map are uploaded.
There are following two methods to trans­fer the settings data for the FH/FHV sensor
to Sysmac Studio.

• Directly connecting to the FH/FHV sen-

sor and uploading the data.

• Save the settings data in the FH/FHV

sensor in the external memory and load
it to Sysmac Studio via the external
memory.

Ethernet direct connection

(when executing an FH/FHV project)

Downloading the FH/FHV settings data
from Sysmac Studio is possible.
If the FH/FHV sensor is connected to the
computer that runs Sysmac Studio via
Ethernet, downloading the FH/FHV settings
data from Sysmac Studio to the FH/FHV
sensor is possible by transferring the
project data that the Sysmac Studio man­ages to the FH/FHV sensor via the Ether­net.
If not connected, right-click the FH/FHV
sensor in the Multiview Explorer and select
Save file from the menu to save the data in
the external memory. Then, load the data
in the external memory to the FH/FHV sen­sor.

Uploading the settings data for the FH/FHV
sensor to Sysmac Studio is possible.
If the FH/FHV sensor is connected to the
computer that runs Sysmac Studio via
Ethernet, loading the data in the FH/FHV
sensor to Sysmac Studio project is possi­ble by transferring the FH/FHV settings da­ta to the project via Ethernet.
If not connected, connect the external
memory that holds the FH/FHV settings da­ta to the computer that runs Sysmac Stu­dio. Then, right-click the FH/FHV sensor in
the Multiview Explorer and select Load

from file from the menu to load the data.

Precautions on Synchronization
through an NJ/NX/NY

-series Control-

ler

The contents of the Sysmac Studio project data and the data being synchronized vary depending on

the connection method (i.e., Ethernet direct connection or connection through an NJ/NX/NY-series

Controller) between the FH/FHV sensor and the computer that runs the Sysmac Studio. Particularly,

the settings data for the FH/FHV sensor cannot be synchronized via an NJ/NX/NY-series Controller.

This section describes precautions on performing the system synchronization from the System Studio

via an NJ/NX/NY-series Controller. For the overview, refer to 1-2-2 Project Data Handling in Different

System Configurations on page 1 - 4.

Additional Information

The sensor data unit (FHV-SDU30) is required for EtherCAT connection between NJ/NX/NY­series Controller and FHV sensor
For details, refer to FHV Series Smart Camera Setup Manual (Cat. No. Z408).

Synchronized Project Data

The Sysmac Studio manages the settings data for the FH/FHV sensor as a part of the project data.

(Refer to 1-2-1 Project data on page 1 - 3.)

The data size of the FH/FHV sensor settings varies depending on the created scenes and measure-

ment flows. (Refer to Memory Usage Guidance For Processing Items

User's Manual (Cat. No. Z365).)

Because of this, the settings data for the FH/FHV sensor cannot be synchronized via an NJ/NX/NY-

series Controller.

There are following methods to synchronize the settings data for the FH/FHV sensor with the data in

the Sysmac Studio.

(1) Directly connect the FH/FHV sensor to the computer that runs the Sysmac Studio via Ethernet

Refer to 3-4 Synchronizing Project Data and Sensor Setting Data on page 3 - 7.

(2) Use the external memory
