1.2 Safety notes
the sensor FA 46-301.
Before starting the FA 46 Vision Sensor, read these instructions carefully, ensure that you have
understood them and comply with them at all times.
The FA 46 Vision Sensor should only be connected by a qualied electrician.
Do not tamper with or make alterations on the unit!
The FA 46 Vision Sensor is not a safety-critical component and its use is prohibited under conditions where the safety of persons may depend on its function.
The IP address set for the FA 46 Vision Sensor should be marked on the enclosed label. After
installation, stick the label on the sensor in a clearly visible position.
The IP address of the FA 46 Vision Sensor must be used once only in any network.
• FA 46 Vision Sensor including integrated illumination
(or as version with C-Mount lens without illumination)
• CD-ROM with Computer software and Operating instructions
• Operating instructions, mounting clamp, Allen key, screwdriver, 2 protective caps for M12 plug.
1.4 Requirements for use
Conguration of the FA 46 Vision Sensor requires a standard PC/Notebook (at least Pentium 4, 1GHz and 512 MB
RAM, with Microsoft Windows 2000-SP4, XP SP2, Vista or Windows 7) with network connection or a network with
TCP-IP protocol. We recommend a Pentium 4 Dual Core > 2Ghz and 1GB RAM, for Windows Vista or Windows 7.
With Windows Vista, it may be necessary to deactivate IPv6. If it is not required, it can be deactivated under Start/
System Control/Network connections/LAN connection/Properties “Internet protocol version 6 (TCP/Ipv6). Formatting
errors can otherwise occur when displaying the IP address in SensoFind and the Info dialogue box.
We recommend a screen resolution of min. 1024 x 768 pixels. A basic knowledge of computers is also required.
The FA 46 Vision Sensor is supplied with the IP address 192.168.100.100 and a subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
The FA 46 Vision Sensor is operated independently of a PC or PLC. A PC/notebook is only necessary for
conguration of the FA 46 Vision Sensor.
Attention must be paid to sufcient and constant object illumination to ensure reproducible results and avoid error
functions.
Reections or varying incident light may affect detection results.
If necessary, use an external white-light source and/or light-screening devices to exclude
The FA 46 Vision Sensor is an optical sensor and uses several evaluation methods according to the version: pattern
recognition, contrast detection, grey level, contour detection, barcode or DataMatrix code reading as well as wafer
detection.
Object Detection:
The FA 46 object sensor precisely detects faulty parts, parts in the wrong place, at the wrong angle or in the wrong
order or a combination of all of these. A total of four detectors are available for inspection tasks and intepretation:
pattern recognition, contour detection, grey level and contrast detection. The high-end version of the Vision object
sensor, FA 46-305 also offers position tracking: it is thus now also possible to reliably detect those features which do
not appear with repeated accuracy in the taught position. All intepretation is carried out relative to the actual position
and angle of the part without having to dene an independent characteristic for each possible position. This highcapacity tool also enables you to solve demanding pick and place applications.
Codereader:
Identication of products, components or packaging from printed or directly marked – punched or laser-etched –
codes is common practice in many sectors of industry today. The Vision code reader from SensoPart immediately
detects which part is in front of it: it can easily read numerous types of barcodes as well as printed and directly
marked data matrix codes according to ECC 200 standard, and this on any base (metal, plastic, paper,glass). The
sensor can even routinely decipher askew or warped codes or codes on convex, reective or transparent surfaces.
The Vision code reader assesses the quality of your printed or directly marked data matrix codes using standardised
ISO and AIM quality parameters. This enables you to introduce early correctional measures and thus avoid rejects
due to illegible codes.
Detection of wafers/solar cells:
The FA 46 solar sensor offers an optimised inspection algorithm for a sound, process-concurrent quality control of
sensitive silicon wafers. The relevant functions for wafer and cell inspection, from the detection of the size and shape
of the wafer to the location of defects and the setting of processing speed and inspection accuracy, are already pre-
congured so that the sensor is ready for operation in just a few mouse clicks.
The FA 46 Vision Sensor range is an economic alternative to conventional image processing systems.

To ensure maximum accuracy of detection, the FA 46 Vision Sensor should be protected from
vibration.
Secure the connection cables with cable binders to prevent crushing or slipping.
Select a position for the FA 46 Vision Sensor in which interfering factors such as slight
differences in the position of the object or variations in illumination have little or no effect.
Screw the FA 46 Vision Sensor onto the mounting clamp „dovetail FA 46“ (supplied with the unit) and then onto a
suitable object. Use only the mounting clamp „dovetail FA 46“ (no. 543-11000) supplied with the unit (see chapter
8.11 dimensional drawing).

Observe the object clearance given in the table Field of View / Working Distance (see chapter 8.4).
To avoid interfering reection from the detection object, align the FA 46 Vision Sensor at an angle of approx. 10°-15°
with reference to the optical axis (g. 1).
Fine adjustment
Important: Fine adjustment of the FA 46 Vision Sensor should not be carried out until after electrical connection (see
chapter 3.2) and start-up (PC software installation(chapter 4).
The electrical installation of the FA 46 Vision Sensor must be carried out by a qualied
electrician.
When installing the FA 46 Vision Sensor , disconnect all electrical components from the power
supply.
When the unit is being used in a network, ensure that the network address (IP address) of the
FA 46 Vision Sensor set by the manufacturer at 192.168.100.100/24 with Subnetmask 255.255.255.0
is free and is not in use for any other unit connected to the system.
If necessary, re-set the IP address of the FA 46 Vision Sensor as described in the section „Network settings“ (see chapter 3.3).
When the FA 46 Vision Sensor is in use, the protective caps supplied must be pushed onto the
M12 sockets (data and LAN) which are not in use. Failure to do this may cause malfunction.
3.2.1 Connection possibilities
For stand-alone operation (independent of PC /PLC) only connection 24 V DC
(see chapter 3.2.1.3) is required after start-up.

The following instructions indicate how to change the network conguration of the PC and the
FA 46 Vision Sensor.
If incorrect settings are used, the network connections in the computer may be lost.
To be on the safe side, note the former settings for later use if required.
Following this procedure, it may be necessary to re-start the system.
In order to determine which IP addresses are allowed in your network or locally in your PC, and
to carry out the necessary settings on your PC, contact the system administrator beforehand.
The illustrations, dialogues and menus originate from the operating system Microsoft Windows
XPTM. The illustrations are similar in other operating systems.
3.3.1 Basic settings for PC and FA 46 Vision Sensor
To congure the FA 46 Vision Sensor with a PC it is essential that a network board and the TCP/IP LAN- connection
is installed on the PC. (This also applies when the PC is not connected to a network. See also chapter 3.2, Electrical
Connection). The FA 46 supports the automatic recognition of the Ethernet transmission rate, but 100 MBit at the
most.
There are two alternatives to congure and parameterize the FA 46 Vision Sensor.
1. Direct Connection
2. Network Connection
3.3.1.1. Direct Connection - Setting the IP Address of the PC
To connect the Vision Sensor FA 46 to a PC via Ethernet the IP addresses of both devices have to correspond. The
default IP of the FA 46 is 192.168.100.100/24 with Subnetmask = 255.255.255.0. To establish a direct connection,
the PC must be set to a corresponding, xed IP address like follows.
1. Click on Start Control Panel Network Connection Local Area Connection Properties the window
"Local Area Connection Properties" is open.
2. In the list „This connection requires following elements“ select the option „Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)“ and then
click the button „Properties“.
3. In the following window (see g. 7) set the desired IP address of the PC and the sub-network data.
4. Conrm entries with OK
Microsoft Windows 98/ME™ requires a reboot
after modication of the IP conguration.
Example:
The FA 46 Vision Sensor is pre-set to IP address 192.168.100.100
and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
In this case, the IP address may be set to any value between
192.168.100.1 and 192.168.100.254, with the exception of the sensor IP address (192.168.100.100).
To alter the sensor’s IP address, see Commissioning
(chapter 3.3.1.2).
3.3.1.2. Network Connection - Setting the IP address of the FA 46 Vision Sensor
Before connecting the sensor in the network, check with the network administrator whether
the sensor’s address has already been assigned (default: 192.168.100.100 with subnet mask
255.255.255.0). This can otherwise cause network failure.The set IP address is to be noted on
the enclosed label. The label is then to be stuck on the sensor in a clearly visible place after
installation.
Network connection speed:
The sensor must only be operated with 100MBit/full-duplex when using VGA resolution and
SensoView.
Sensor’s IP still free:
Connect sensor to network and then set the sensor’s IP to match the PC according to the administrator’s specications, as follows.
Sensor IP already assigned:
1. First connect sensor and PC directly (see chapter 3.3.1.1) and set an authorised IP address in the sensor.
2. Connection via the network can then be carried out.
First ensure electrical connection (see chapter 3.2) and installation of PC software (see chapter 4 Commissioning)
have been completed.
To set the IP address on the FA 46 Vision Sensor, the following steps are to be carried out in the PC software:
1. Start SensoFind
2. Mark Sensor.
3. Set sensor’s new IP address with “Settings”.
This was assigned by the system administrator, see
g. 9. The PC’s IP address is shown in the status
bar under the buttons.
4. Restart the sensor (disconnect power supply for 5
seconds).
5. Close SensoFind and restart,
6. Mark sensor and connect.
Modication of the standard gateway enables operation
in different sub-networks. Only alter this setting after
consultation with the administrator.
Automatic integration of a new computer or sensor in the existing network without
manual conguration is possible through DHCP. Normally, automatic supply of IP
address must only be set on the sensor, the client. When the sensor is started in the
network, it can obtain the IP address, net mask and gateway from a DHCP server.
Activation of DHCP mode is carried out via the “Settings” button by activating the
checkbox “DHCP“. As one and the same FA 46 can thus have different IP addresses at different times, a sensor name must be attributed when activating the DHCP.
Should several FA 46s be in one network, different names must be used.
If a FA 46 with DHCP is switched on in a network without a DHCP server, the FA 46 automatically
sets the IP address to 192.168.0.65. This can be the case, e.g. in the case of power/server failure
or the restart of a system after shutdown as the DHCP server may boot slower than the FA 46.
Make sure that the FA 46 is only switched on when the DHCP server is available.

Important:
To configure the FA 46 Vision Sensor for
the network,
it must be integrated in the network. Before connection, check whether
the sensor's address has already been assigned (default: 192.168.100.100/24). Network failure can otherwise occur.
Configuration of the sensor requires the FA 46 software and communication between sensor and PC. The sensor requires a
free IP address*1) to establish this connection.

Proceeding/Troubleshooting - Network Connection
Establishing an operational Ethernet connection between FA 46 Vision Sensor and PC
The FA 46 Vision Sensor can only be operated with the enclosed software. The latest versions
are available under www.sensopart.com. The PC software must always concur with the appropri-
ate sensor rmware (VXX).
Administrator rights are required to be able to install software under Windows®, 2000 SP4, XP
SP2, VISTA™ or 7.
In order to begin commissioning of the FA 46 Vision Sensor, the following steps must be carried out:
1. Switch on power supply (+UB) of FA 46 Vision Sensor.
2. When rst commissioning the FA 46 Vision Sensor, install the enclosed PC software version X.X, on a PC.
Once the CD has been inserted, the internet browser should start automatically. If the autorun function has
been deactivated, the start page can also be started from the CD with a double click on start.exe.
Deinstallation
System control Software FA 46 Vision Sensor Remove
or
Start Progamme SensoPart FA 46 Vision Sensor Remove FA 46 SensoFind
3. In the start menu, the programme group “SensoPart / FA 46 Vision Sensor“ is created with the entry
„FA 46 SensoFind“.
4. „Start “FA 46 SensoFind“ the “SensoFind“ user interface appears.
4.1 Structure of PC software
The PC software is organised into the following three modules:
- SensoFind:
Selection of a sensor or sensor simulation for conguration or display (monitoring), or modication of different
basic settings.
- SensoCong:
Conguration of FA 46 Vision Sensor for one or several inspection tasks (jobs) in six logical operating steps.
- SensoView:
Display and monitoring of images and results from connected sensors, as well as job upload.
In order to open a sensor for conguration or display, mark the required sensor in the list “Active sensors“, then click
on the button “Congure“ to start the “SensoCong“ module, or on the button “Display“ for the “SensoView“ module.
4.2.2 Sensor simulation
To open a sensor for ofine simulation, mark the required sensor in the “Sensors for simulation mode“ list, then click
on the button “Congure“ to start the module “SensoCong“.
4.2.3 Passwords
When rst started-up after installation, password entry is completely deactivated and auto login is preset to
administrator.
If parameter settings are to be protected from unauthorised access, passwords should be given for the “Admin“ and
“User“ password levels, see below. This can be called up via the menu bar File / User administration or via the button
with the key symbol in the toolbar.
Password levels:
Fig. 14
155-01203
In order to be able to use the “Congure“ function after the assignment of passwords, it is now necessary to login by
clicking on the toolbar login button
Allocating an empty password means the password can be conrmed without any further entry. Activation of the
“Deactivate password request“ checkbox, permanently deactivates password request.
If passwords have been assigned and then forgotten, it is possible to reset passwords to delivery status by reinstalling the software.
With this programme, you can congure your FA 46 Vision Sensor for one or several inspection tasks (jobs) in six
logical operating steps. Activate the “Congure” button in the SensoFind module to start SensoCong.
The different operating elds are:
A) Menu and tool bar
B) Setup navigation / Operating steps
See next chapter for description
C) Image
Image output with graphically adjustable operating and search zones as well as zoom function and
lmstrip navigation
D) Online help
Context-sensitive online help, automatically updated for each action.
E) Image acquisition
Switch-over between continuous and single image mode and software trigger.
F) Mode of connection
Switch-over between online and ofine mode (sensor present or simulation without sensor).
G) Conguration window
Variable content relating to action in set-up navigation, for setting associated parameters.
Below you‘ll nd a description of start-up, using the example of the object sensor.
This method can basically be used for the other sensors as well.
Further information can be found in the online help of the software.
One job contains all the settings and parameters necessary for carrying out a specic inspection task.
Jobs can be created here and several jobs can be managed. All global settings, valid for the entire job, e.g. shutter
speed, amplication, illumination settings etc. are also carried out here.
The following basic image settings should rst be carried out to ensure a high-contrast and sharp image:
* Image brightness: Set shutter time or amplication, see Job / General
* Image sharpness: Turn focus setting screw on the back of the FA 46 until the image is sharp.
The sensor is delivered with the following settings: Trigger Modus = „free run“ (see Job / General) and Trigger / collect image = „continuous“. A new image is thus continuously collected for focus and brightness settings and the display
is thus continuously updated.
The subsequent setting of position tracking and detectors should preferably be carried out in single image mode, as
all settings are then based on a master image and image collection is not continuously carried out. This may require
the following setting “ Trigger / collect image = “single image””.
Edit the job created as default job 1 in the list if necessary, and set the other basic parameters such as trigger mode,
internal / external lighting etc.
Position tracking and any number of different detectors can subsequently be dened within one job to solve an
Alignment compensation can be necessary for objects or characteristics whose position varies on the screen. Three
different detection methods (alignment detectors) are available for this purpose. Position tracking is optional and
is available for use with the methods: pattern matching, edge detection and contour. After selection of the position
tracking method, set the operating zones on the parameter to be used for alignment tracking by adjusting the graphic
frame to the appropriate position and size on the image. The parameters associated with the selected method are
displayed on the bottom right-hand side and can also be adjusted there.
Use of position tracking affects all the detectors subsequently dened.
Different detectors can be selected and adjusted here to solve an inspection task. First the required detector is
selected in the dialog box shown below.

Then the operating and search zones are graphically set on the screen. If teach zones exist, they are taught imme-
diately after completion of the settings. All the detectors dened in this job are shown in the bottom left-hand corner.
The parameters of the currently selected detector are shown in the bottom right-hand corner and can be adjusted
there. If other parameters are to be checked on the same part, any number of other detectors can be created as
described above by clicking on „New“.
The output module enables different settings of digital input / output and data output.

of all detectors. Denition of complex logic connections via table or via input of a logical formula.
A different logical connection can be assigned to each available digital output.
· Interfaces
Selection, setting and activation of the individual interfaces such as: programmable input IN2, RS422, I/O
extension, Ethernet and EtherNet / IP
· Timing
Setting of delay times: Trigger delay, result delay and duration of result.
· Data output
Setting and preview of data output string via RS422 or Ethernet.
Selection of: binary or ASCII protocol, header and / or trailer, standard contents and / or exible, combinable,
special individual data from the individual detectors.
Any number of individual results from all the dened detectors can be freely arranged in an output string.
With this function, inspection is carried out on the PC, using all the settings, for control purposes. During this procedure execution times, for example, will not be updated as these values are only informative when implemented on
the sensor itself. See next step: “Start Sensor“.
When this function is activated, all settings are transferred to the sensor, stored in the ash memory and carried out
e.g. in free run or in triggered mode according to the settings made. All information in the detector list, result eld or
This programme is used for monitoring / checking connected sensors and for analysing inspection results. SensoView is started via the “Display” button in SensoFind.
The current image is displayed with the drawings for position tracking and the detectors (if “image transmission =
active“ is activated in the conguration module under Job / General).
The „Freeze image“ button enables result-controlled images (e.g. bad part) to be kept on the display. Images can
be enlarged with „Zoom“, archived with or without numerical result data or the image recorder on the sensor can be
read out.
The “Result“ tab shows the individual detectors with their results and the overall result.
The “Statistics“ tab shows further statistical results.

It is possible to switch between jobs present on the sensor with the “Job“ tab.
Further, previously dened jobs or whole job sets can be loaded on to the sensor from the viewer in the “Upload” tab.
Operating SensoView can impair the sensor’s processing speed in run mode, particularly if the
connected PC has a low performance.

the times used is smaller than the cycle time between the arrival of one part to the next,
i.e. only one part may be found in the inspection zone during the times dened here.

signal here only indicates that the sensor is ready for the next evaluation (Ready). The validity of the outputs OUT1/2/3 (DataValid) is
however not derivable from this signal in this operation, as the outputs
OUT 1/2/3 are also reset when OUT4 is reset, (high or low depending
on the setting "Low active" or "High active“). Interrogation of the
output level of the result outputs OUT 1/2/3 must occur in this special
case at a time within the “duration of the result“ but after elapse of the
control system evaluation time.
Results are reset after elapse of “duration of result“. Depending on
the setting "Low active" or "High active“ (high or low).

LOW = low active, i.e. when result IO output = low
The LED displays on the user interface and on the device always switch in positive logic, i.e. they always light up
when the output is active, independently of whether inversion is activated or not.

8.2 Functions of the programmable, digital input IN2.
During operation with process control, the following cases can be carried out via the input IN2:
• IN2 inactive
• IN2 enable/disable
• IN2 load Job 1 or 2
• IN2 load Job 1 ... n
• IN2 teach temporarily
• IN2 teach permanently
8.3 Description of different cases with a signal diagram
See below for a detailed description.
8.3.1 IN2: „inactive“
This diagram describes the signal course when IN 2 is not used.
The signal course is completely independent of IN2. Each rising edge and IN1 = Trigger starts the sensor.
IN2 is programmed as enable/disable. For enable, +Ub (24V DC) must be present at IN2 to ensure that the sensor is
started by a trigger.
Each rising edge and IN1 = Trigger starts the sensor.
Fig. 32
155-01177
8.3.3 IN2: „disable trigger“ (IN2 = open (0V DV))
IN2 is programmed as enable/disable. For disable, +0 V DC must be present at IN2 to ensure that the sensor is not
started by a trigger.
Trigger signals at IN1 are thus ignored.
IN2 programmed as level-dependent switching between job 1 and job 2. Only possible when OUT4 (Ready/Busy) =
high. With the rst edge on IN2, OUT4 (Ready/Busy) is set to low. OUT4 (Ready/Busy) remains low until switch-over
to the new job occurs. A high level causes evaluation according to job 2, a low level produces evaluation according to
job 1.
Fig. 34
155-01179
8.3.5 IN2: Job 1 ... n
IN2 for switching between jobs via impulses. Only possible when OUT4 (Ready/Busy) = high. With the rst impulse
at IN2, OUT4 (Ready/Busy) is set to low. Impulses are counted until the rst pause of ≥ 50ms and it then switches to
the appropriate job. OUT4 (Ready/Busy) remains low until switch-over to the new job occurs.
Fig. 35
155-01180
At Jobswitch please take care of the following:
- all Jobs must have the same setting for IN2
- all Jobs must be in triggered mode
- Ready signal must be High when trigger sequence starts
IN2 for re-teaching samples of all detectors and if necessary alignment tracking of the current job. Only possible
when OUT4 (Ready/Busy) = high. A rising ank on IN2 initiates teaching, during which a high level must exist at IN2
at least until the next trigger (IN1), so that an image of an inspection part can be recorded in the correct position.
OUT4 (Ready/Busy) is set to low and remains low until teaching has been completed. Storage is either temporary
(only in RAM), or permanent (in ash) according to the setting. If more than the maximum timeout duration of 500
ms elapses between falling edge on signal at IN2 and trigger, the next trigger is considered as normal trigger and no
teach procedure is performed.

8.8 Sensor Firmware Update FA 46
Firmware update is to be carried out as follows:
Start SensoFind, select the sensor you wish to update from the list and select “Update” under Menu/File.
For update, you require an MSF le which matches your sensor type and contains the latest software version for the
sensor. The MSF le for the respective latest sensor version can be found on http://www.sensopart.com/. If in doubt,
contact the SensoPart support team under tel.: +49 (0)7665 94769-750 / support@sensopart.com. Please ensure
you have the correct le before beginning the update.
Check that no other programmes have access to the sensor before beginning update, then follow the instructions of
the update routine.
Warning
Close all programmes that communicate with the sensor before update. Active communication
with the sensor during update can delete the rmware and render it necessary to return the
sensor to the manufacturer! Save congurations before update. They can then be reloaded later.
Once update has been completed, you will be requested to restart the sensor and SensoFind.
After restart, you will see that the sensor is listed with a new version number in the sensor list.
How can I change the IP address set for the sensor?
Follow the steps described under “Network settings” and “Setting the FA 46 Vision Sensor’s IP address” in
chapter 3.3.
How can I just test connection to the FA 46 Vision Sensor?
Go into the start menu of the operating system, open “Execute” and enter the command “cmd”. A window then
opens, in which you should enter the command “ping”, followed by the set IP address:
For example: ping 192.168.100.100
If all connections are correctly connected, the sensor and PC address space is identical and the FA 46 Vision
Sensor is ready, the ping command receives a positive reply. If this does not occur, check your network conguration and consult your network administrator.
How can I avoid reections (recognisable as light image zones)?
Install the FA 46 Vision Sensor at an angle to the optical axis and set the shutter manually. Improve illumination
of the object and avoid uctuations in brightness, e.g. through ambient light.
I obtain grey value dispersions on the same object. The grey values at the edge of the illuminated zone vary
in appearance from image to image.
What can I do?
Set “Shutter einl./manuell“ in the eld “parameters of active conguration” to manual and then adjust the slide
bar so that no uctuations in brightness occur. A higher shutter value generally results in a slight overexposure
but provides a more constant result.
Reections occur though a minimal change in alignment or position, e.g. an inscription sometimes appears
lighter, sometimes darker.
How can I obtain a constant image scene?
Install the FA 46 Vision Sensor at an angle of approx. 10° - 15° or select another position of the pattern frame
where reections will not affect pattern detection.

The IO-Box converts serial data from the sensor’s RS422 interface to up to 32 discrete signal outputs, whereby an
output of individual results is possible without complex PLC programming.
Reversely, data can be transferred to the sensor via 8 inputs, for example to switch over the parameter set for a
change in product. Ejector control can be carried out on the basis of encoder steps, independent of belt speed, via
an additional encoder input. The IO-Box can be used with all versions of the FA 46 Vision Sensor which are equipped
with a RS422 interface. The module is easily congured via three operating keys and a display.
The IO-Box is activated in the selection menu “Ext. I/O“, by selecting “8 in 32 out“.
The baud rate is set automatically with this setting.
