2-4 Cameras

2-4-1 Cameras with Light Sources

The Cameras w it h L igh t So urc es are special camer as w i th a l ens a nd
light source attached. The light source and lens are a single unit and
are thus compact and easy to mount. The Camera must be mounted
at a distance from the measurement object where it can correctly
view the object.

The lens focus is fixed and the distance must be adjusted each time
the lens or Camera is changed because the field of vision and focus
vary from lens to lens.

Also, the camera’s working distance is an approximate value. Mount
the camera so t hat i t c an b e ad jus ted sl igh t ly nearer to or farther from
the object.

Note 1. Determine which Camera is appro priat e ba sed on the s ize of the

code, as shown in the following table.

Field of vision Appropriate code size



2. Use the following guidelines for the code’s matrix size.

• QRCode 21  21 (version 1) to 33  33 (vers io n 4)

• DataMatrix 10  10 to 26  26

Processing Time Calculation

Processing time (reading time) is calculated as follows:

Processing
time

Shutter time

=

of camera

Note A delay of 33.3 ms max. will occur before starting to load monitor

images if through images are displayed. A delay may also occur
depending on the trigger input method.

Reading Moving Objects

Please note the following to prevent delay when loading images.

• Use the TRIG A signal for timing inpu t.
As the TRIG A signal is sync hro nous with the shutter input of the
Camera, an accurate image of the moving object can be
obtained.

• Set the image to be displayed on the monitor to “Freeze”.
When through images are displayed, a delay of 33.3 ms max.
occurs before loading images after the TRIG A signal input.

Decode time Display time

Loading image
time (33.3 ms
fixed)

If the object moves while the image is being loaded after the shutter
is released, the image will be blurred. Set the line speed according to
the shutter speed (using V530-R150 menu), the cell size of objects,
and the field of vision of the Camera.

Tact Time

A certain interval is necessary between reading objects during which
the next trigger signal is not input. This interval (time) is called “Tact
Time”.
(e.g.) Processing time for reading: 500 ms; Line speed: 30 m/min

30

× 0.5 = 0.25

60

The distance m ov e d in 5 00 ms is 0. 25 m. There f or e, an inte rval al low ­ing 0.25 m min. of movement is necessary.

Number of Retries

If reading is NG, readin g co nti n ues to be performed f or the nu mber of
retries specified by the setting conditions. When reading moving
objects, reading may continue after the object has left the field of
vision. Set the numbe r of retrie s so that readi ng is perform ed while
the object is still within the field of vision, or set to 0.

44

System Examination Section 3-4

Continuous Reading

Regardless of the displayed image (through/freeze), a 33.3 ms max.
delay occurs before loading the image after the TRIG B signal is
input.
