Retrying by switching to another bank automatically ( p.41)

Retry is performed by switching the reading condition (Bank) among the maximum five conditions. Two condition switching methods are available: one which determines the order of the conditions to be used automatically according to the frequency of their use, and the other that switches them according to the registered order. Combining with the retry settings that are made for each reading condition enables various retry settings.

For V400-F050/250/350, a power supply device must be provided separately. Wire the power supply independently of other devices. In particular, keep the power supply wired separately from inductive loads.

Use a DC power supply with safety measures against high-voltage spikes (safety extra lowvoltage circuits on the secondary side). If UL recognition is required for the overall system, use a UL Class II DC power supply.

Use a power supply that meets the following requirements.

Trigger Mode Select how to use the trigger signal for discrete I/O.

One Shot* Reading is performed once at the rise of trigger signal (OFF 

ON). If reading is successful, it will be exited and the reading results will be output. Since the trigger signal is synchronized with the camera shutter input, shooting of moving workpieces can be performed at accurate positions.

Level Reading is repeated while the trigger signal is ON, until reading

is successful. If reading is not successful, “NG” will be output when the trigger signal is turned OFF.

Continuous Reading is performed continuously while the trigger signal is

ON.

Trigger Error Select whether to output a discrete I/O error when a trigger is received during BUSY.

ON* A discrete I/O error will be output when a trigger is received

during BUSY.

OFF No discrete I/O error will be output even if a trigger is received

during BUSY.

Polarity Set the trigger signal active polarity.

Low Active* The trigger signal is active when it is low.

High Active The trigger signal is active when it is high.

Reading is repeated while the TRIG signal is ON until reading is successful, and reading is exited when it is successful. Therefore, this setting executes one output per trigger input. If the TRIG signal is turned OFF before reading is successful, reading failure will result.

Even if an item other than [NG Pulse] is selected for [OK/NG Output], this signal will perform the same operation as when [One Shot] is selected.

If you want to set the exposure time, hold down the left button for more than two seconds to change the current one or set it in the setting mode.

Reading Time

The reading time can be calculated using the formula below.

If the exposure time does not meet the following, the image will be blurred causing adverse effects on reading.

p.22, p.32

0.1 C (MV)

Appendix Line Speed and Reading Time/Exposure Time

(Reading time: R)

(Code pitch: L)

(Max. line speed: V)

If the reading time does not meet this formula, the code will be outside the field of vision so the code cannot be read even if the requirement of exposure time is satisfied.

Example: When the line speed is 60 mm/s and code pitch is 30 mm

= 0.5 s = 500 ms

The above calculation indicates that the code cannot be read unless the reading time is 500 ms or shorter. If the reading time is 500 ms or longer, the line speed must be decreased or the code pitch increased.

Handling the Code Reader

The main unit, lens and light are optical components. so they must be handled carefully. If they get dirty or scratched, image pickup will deteriorate, disabling code reading.

•Do not touch the lens and light cover surface with your fingers or any pointed object.

•The code reader must be used in a dust-free environment. If the lens or light cover get dirty, clean them with lens-cleaning cloth or air brush.

•When attaching a lens to the main unit (V400-F050), take care not to touch the CCD pickup surface of the lens and not to let dust collect on it.
