5 Mode of operation
®
In contrast with conventional photoelectric sensors, the VeriSens operates with digital images and is
capable of conducting several sensor tasks with parameters set by the software.
®
VeriSens ’ strength lies in the detection of contours. With the procedure, differences in brightness can be
optimally tolerated, as contours are usually independent of the absolute brightness (e.g. variations in
illumination).
Because a workpiece can normally always be described by its relevant contours, this provides powerful tools
to control the presence, position and completeness of parts. The high quality of the method ensures that a
reliable result is always achieved even with a rapid sequence of objects.
The diagram shows the schematic mode of operation with the corresponding parts of the sensor.
Here, each job is divided into several sensor tasks. Each sensor task executes one task and returns an
associated pass/fail result or the associated measured values. For this purpose, a working area must be
defined that is either circular, an arc, rectangular or polygonal. The contours can be given via search arrows
for geometrical sensor tasks.
Then you can link the results from the sensor tasks into one result and output it via a digital interface.
®
With VeriSens the stored jobs can be selected via external switching inputs.

Radeberg, Germany
®
®
The VeriSens operates in two operating modes:
 Activated
 Parameter settings
®
In activated mode, the actual job is conducted. VeriSens operates autonomously in this mode and can
®
communicate directly with a PLC. VeriSens receives all commands such as trigger or job number from the
external control system and mainly returns a pass or fail result. In activated mode you can also use the
Application Suite to monitor your test assignments.
In the Configuration mode you can configure and set the parameters for the jobs and features to be checked.
This is conducted using the Application Suite.
Because a high-quality digital image provides many means of visual inspection, the parameters of the jobs
have to be set according to the test assignment and the application. For this purpose, the Application Suite
provides a pre-configured input mask for each feature to be checked, which supports the determination of
the optimum settings.

6 Installation and Commissioning
6.1 Mechanical installation

®
You can operate VeriSens in any position.
®
Fasten the VeriSens to the M4 screws provided for this purpose.
®
Align the VeriSens so that the image center indicated below points directly at the object to be inspected.
®
The VeriSens should be installed so that it vibrates as little as possible during operation to avoid negative
influences on the image quality (blurred images).
®
Install the VeriSens so that there are no obstacles between the sensor and the object that could block the
view or cause reflections.
®
The VeriSens can inspect fixed areas at fixed distances. For this purpose, there are two variants with
different focal distances of the optical systems (f = 10 mm and f = 16 mm).
NOTE
The field of view for the XC-100 / XC-200 depends on the lens used.
The tables below contain the maximum fields of view:
Lens f = 10 mm
Object distance Max. inspection area

50 mm 26 mm x 17 mm
100 mm 50 mm x 32 mm
200 mm 98 mm x 62 mm
300 mm 145 mm x 93 mm
Lens f = 16 mm
Object distance Max. inspection area

70 mm 18 mm x 11 mm

6.5 Commissioning the Ethernet interface on your computer
1. Assigning an IP address
®
To use VeriSens in your network, you must assign a unique IP address to the device. Below is the default
factory configuration:
1. If you have a DHCP server integrated into your network, the IP address is requested from this
server. No additional manual actions are necessary on your part.
2. If a valid IP address cannot be obtained within 15 seconds, the default IP address of 192.168.0.250
(subnet mask: 255.255.255.0) is used.
NOTE
To avoid network malfunctions, ensure that each IP address is unique within your network
and has not already been assigned!
®
Now, link your PC into the same network as VeriSens . Under certain circumstances, you may need to
configure the IP address of your PC for this purpose. With Microsoft Windows XP, proceed as follows:
1) Open the "Start" menu and then move to "Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections".
2) Select your network (e.g., "Local Area Connection") and then the "Properties" entry in the context
menu.
3) Select the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" entry in the list of elements and then click the Properties
button below the selection list. The following dialog box opens:
Activate the Use the following IP address option and select an address in the range 192.168.0.xxx
that has not yet been used for the IP address. Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask and confirm
these settings.

8.4 Job features
The Application Suite helps you to create, manage and test jobs and to configure them for operation.
®
Each test assignment is processed by VeriSens in the course of a job. For each job required an image will
be acquired in which you mark the features to be checked. A pass/fail result will then be determined.
The following individual steps are used to create a job:
®
1. Adjust Image: Each inspection with the VeriSens is based on image data. The image quality
depends on the internal camera settings, the illumination settings and lens adjustments. Here, you
can set all parameters concerned with the primary image acquisition and its control.
2. Check features: Checking the features is the actual evaluation. Each sensor task operates in a
working area, determines one or more values and compares the result with preset switching points.
In a second step, you can link the results of the sensor tasks to produce a result.
Configure interfaces: This includes settings for digital outputs (output time and duration of output,
among other settings) and configuration for datagrams of the process interface. You can also set
which feature checks and functions can be used via the web interface.
This information is saved separately for each job, while pin assignment for the digital I/Os is set in
the device settings.

Radeberg, Germany
®
9 Creating a job
Jobs are created in three main steps, using the “Job bar”. The individual parameters can be set in this bar.
9.1 Adjusting the image

®
To implement reliable inspection with the VeriSens vision sensor, the features to be inspected must be
clearly visible.
Set the image focus with an inbus key on the

®
VeriSens vision sensor installed at the testing site.
The corresponding inbus screw can be found on the
sensor’s LED panel.
In the XC series, the image focus is set on the

installed lens.
NOTE
The field of view and the minimum module size for the XC-100 / XC-200 depend on the
lens installed.
*Working distances > 400 mm possible

Radeberg, Germany
®
9.1.1 Image acquisition
Set the exposure time that should be used for the acquisition.
NOTE
Please be aware that, if exposure time is extended, images may become blurred because
of movement of the object. In this case, reduce the exposure time until a sharp image of
the object is produced and increase the amplification value for this.
(XC-100 / XC-200 only)

NOTE
The reduced resolution (binning mode) setting can be used for identical exposure time,
which allows for higher grey levels than with full resolution.
The image can also be brightened using the control gain.
NOTE
Higher amplification values result in increased image graininess and make stable analysis
more difficult. If sufficient image brightness is not achieved, use external illumination.
Click on Generating automatic suggestion ... to view a suggestion for illumination settings.

Radeberg, Germany
®
Enter the speed of the objects, and their distance from the camera, during inspection. The Application Suite
automatically calculates the associated parameters. If the image is then still too dark or bright, you can adjust
this using the brightness control.
Continuous image capture: A new image acquisition is made as soon as an image analysis is complete.
You can also limit the number of images per second as a function of the exposure time.
Image capture on trigger signal: A new image is acquired upon the occurrence of a corresponding
external event.
You can also specify the delay time or distance, if an encoder is connected, between the trigger signal and
the actual image acquisition. Any other trigger signals received during this period are ignored!
If necessary, activate the “invalid trigger” entry (trigger during image acquisition or job switching) in Device
settings, so that the alarm output is activated in such cases.
With the illumination settings, you can switch off the internal illumination and possibly activate external
illumination with the Flash sync output. If you wish to use the external Flash sync output, this must be
chosen accordingly in the Digital I/O menu. You can also activate both type of illumination.

Radeberg, Germany
®
(XC-100 / XC-200 only)
Click on Configure external illumination… to make the settings for a connected external illumination system
or a flash controller.
®
You can choose between two VeriSens resolutions.
NOTE
When using the reduced resolution setting, 2 x 2 pixels are always grouped (binned)
together. The time for image acquisition decreases correspondingly. Select the mode in
which your inspection feature is clearly visible.
NOTE
Only use contour recognition sensitivity when all of the other image settings have been
performed successfully.
(only CS-100 / XF-100 / XF-200)
To ensure consistent evaluation, all contours must be calculated consistently. This means that the image is
sharply focused and no overbiases occur.
For critical objects, it may be appropriate to adjust the sensitivity of edge detection manually. Set the Edge
detection sensivity to a value where the feature to be inspected is clearly recognizable.
Make sure that the contours of the test object are consistently obtained and that not too many “pseudo-
contours” are created.
You can make the contours visible using the following button from the image display options.

Radeberg, Germany
®
Example images of contours
Too few contours Good contours Too many outlines

(Edge recognition sensitivity must be (Optimum edge recognition (Edge recognition sensitivity must
reduced) sensitivity) be increased)
NOTE
Error message: "Too much contour points! Please reduce the number of contour points “
You may avoid this error with the following corrective actions:
 Adjust the application setup:

- For example, change the position of the object being examined so that
interfering structures that create unnecessary contour points are outside
the image area.
- Cover up the interfering structures.
 Adjust the edge detection sensitivity.
 Reduce the image noise using lower amplification and correspondingly longer
exposure or stronger illumination.
(only XF-100 / XF-200)
Activate the function “Use gamma correction” if you wish to emphasize contours in dark areas of the image.
This option may also be appropriate to reduce the effects of reflections when the image is acquired. This
makes the sensitivity of the acquisition non-linear, brightening darker areas of the image and diminishing the
contrast of brighter areas of the image.
NOTE
When using gamma correction, only limited use of the “reference area” function is
possible in the individual sensor tasks (e.g. Brightness, ...)!
The following values can be set via the process interface.
Input value Data type

exposure time Number (Integer)
ampflification Number (Integer)
sensitivity of edge Number (Integer)

9.1.2 Coordinates (only XF-100 / XF-200)

®
With VeriSens , it is possible to convert the internal image coordinate system into a user-defined coordinate
system. To do this, it is necessary to specify the real coordinates for a few data points in the image
referenced to a world coordinate system.
If you want to convert the coordinates, activate this option.
Then, you must mark at least four data points in the image. To achieve high conversion accuracy, pay
attention that the points:
 are positioned in the image as precisely as possible,

 are uniformly distributed throughout the image and
 do not lie on one line.

Radeberg, Germany
®
Assign the points in the table to the corresponding real coordinates. Keep in mind that the coordinates must
be specified with respect to a right-handed coordinate system.
Use the Add button to add additional data points to increase the accuracy of the conversion.
Delete individual points using the Delete button.
The Delete all button deletes all coordinates.
During the coordinate conversion process, the individual points are checked for validity. Points whose real
coordinates deviate too greatly from the calculated position following conversion are marked in yellow or red.
In this case, check all points for the correctness of position and of the coordinates. If necessary, shift the
points or adjust the entered coordinates. A small line indicates the direction in which the point should be
shifted.
To increase the precision of the calculated coordinates, you can also correct for the distortion of the camera
lens. In this case, you will need at least eight points.

Radeberg, Germany
®
9.2 Checking features
The features to be checked are composed and their parameters set in this step.
NOTE
Please note that even the best sensor task can only calculate a satisfactory result if the
associated feature is clearly visible in the image.
If necessary, check the parameters for the image exposure again to obtain an optimum
image quality for your task.
NOTE
As each inspection process has tolerances with regard to the position of the test object,
most jobs begin with part location. The part location searches for the reference edges of
the test object and aligns all subsequent sensor tasks to these reference edges.
Add opens the dialog New sensor task. In this, a list of all available sensor tasks is presented. When a
feature to be checked has been selected, this appears automatically in the feature list, with its current result
and the associated status.
A previously selected sensor task is edited here.
Deletes a selected sensor task from the list of features.
Deletes all sensor tasks from the list of features.

Radeberg, Germany
®
Each feature is optimized for just one inspection task and supplies a Pass or Fail result. Partial results (e.g.
brightness - mean brightness) can also be delivered via the process interface.
NOTE
The results can be linked at a later time (XF-100 / XF-200 / XC-100 / XC-200).

Radeberg, Germany
®
Examples: Feature comparison brightness with part location on contours:
Part location on contours:
With this sensor task, the position of an object is determined using contours.
 Choose the shape of the area from which the contours are adopted.
Adopt the contours by pressing Teach. A search is then made for the object in the entire image.
 The match of the contours with the found object in the image is displayed here.
 Using the appropriate switching points, set how good the match must be so that the object is found.
The button on the extreme right inverts the set point.

 Mode: Set the amount of detail to be used in the inspection. (The more detailed the mode, the
higher the computation time.)
 Max. rotation: If you want to find the object only in a limited angular range, you may specify the
maximum rotational position here. (Limiting the angular range reduces computing time.)
 If you do not wish to search for the object in the entire image, set the tick and then limit the search
area.
Model editor tab
 With the displayed model, you can now use the mouse to delete contours which clearly do not
belong to the reference object.
 Use this button to restore the model to its original state.
 You can use these two buttons to enlarge or reduce the model.

 Confirm your settings and return to the sensor list with OK. Return to the sensor list without making
any changes with Cancel.
This sensor task has the following output values for the datagram at the process interface:
Output value Data type Description

Result ”P“ (Pass); “F“ (Fail) Result of the sensor task
Center of object X – separator – Y (Foat-Point) Position of the object in the image (px)
Angle of object’s rotation Number (Float) Angle of the object (degrees)
Conformity Number (Integer) Match of the model (%)
Sensor task Brightness
This sensor task measures the mean brightness in a working area and compares the result with the specified
switching points.
This sensor task supports external teach-in. The switching points are adjusted as an absolute to the current
measured value.

Radeberg, Germany
®
 Select the shape of the working area. A circle, a rectangle and a freely definable polygon, a circular
ring and a circular ring sector are available.
 Adjust the working area by holding the left mouse button depressed. You can rotate the rectagon by
dragging with the mouse on the lever at the center.
 The current result for lightness is shown as a mean grey scale value. The switching points
designated Min and Max are adjusted on the right hand side. A graphic display is located in the
middle, in which the positions of the switching points are displayed and where they can be changed.
 The right button is used to invert the result of the sensor task.
 In order to be independent of fluctuations in the ambient light for photometric measurements, the
®
VeriSens offers a means of correcting the measured value with a reference value. For this purpose,
the reference is also chosen in the working area, for example by attaching a white label to the edge
of the conveyor belt. The mean brightness in the working area of the reference area should exceed a
gray scale value of 128 to ensure reliable operation.
NOTE
If “Use, carry area” cannot be selected, then you have not defined part location.
 If the sensor task is to be corrected by the result of the part location, you can choose this option
here. External teach-in also makes it possible to retrain the sensor task. Select the appropriate
option for this purpose.
NOTE
The new setting is always stored only until the active job is changed. Jobs 1 to 16 are
exceptions from this and retain their settings until the device is switched off, if these jobs
were programmed by external teach-in.
When the job is loaded, you always receive the settings with which the job was saved
when the parameters were stored. Any changes to parameters made by external teach-in
are lost!

9.3 Configuring interfaces
9.3.1 Timing digital I/Os
In this dialog, you can define when the output time is reached and how long the output is to be.
The Camera Ready signal is deactivated following image acquisition. The Camera Ready signal is activated
again at the end of image acquisition and another image acquisition operation is possible immediately.
The Pass/Fail signal then switches at the set output time even if additional analyses have already been
performed. The Output Enable signal is active during this time.
A maximum of 64 results can be temporarily saved.
NOTE
When the set output time has been reached prematurely, the calculation in the vision
sensor is aborted. The Total result and all Partial results are then NOK.
The duration of the output signal is used to specify for how long the output signal (Result
valid, Pass/Fail, Alarm) should be issued. Depending upon the setting, this signal is either
maintained reset following the duration of the set pulse, or switched with the next result.

Radeberg, Germany
®
NOTE
If you have connected an encoder, you may set the output time and duration as a
distance.
In addition, you can specify an "output run-up" in milliseconds to activate the Pass/Fail
signal before reaching a specific position. This option is available if an exact output time
(the earliest and latest output times are identical) has been specified and this is specified
as a distance.
Keep in mind that, in this case, the belt speed must be constant!
9.3.2 Occupancy of digital I/Os
You can make the settings for the digital interface in this dialog page.
NOTE
Please keep in mind that, during job switching, the device is not active and the "Camera
Ready" output is deactivated. Please wait with the next image analysis operation until the
"Active" state is displayed again by this signal. If the switch could not be performed, for
example, because the job number was invalid, an alarm signal is also output until the next
trigger.
Output 1-5
Enter how the outputs are to be activated here. You may select between three options in this process: Total
result, Partial result, Alarm. For the results output, you may also choose whether you want a signal to switch
for a pass or a fail result.
You may output the Total result and the Partial results via the digital interfaces. To do so, configure the
required output in Device menu.

Flexible result linking (XF-100 / XF-200 / XC-100 / XC-200 only):
In this dialog, you can specify how the sensor task results are to be logically linked together to produce the
result of the job.
You can specify one Total result and several Partial results for each job. In addition, it is possible to use the
Partial results for the configuration of the Total result.
It is possible to link the results with the following operations for configuration:
 AND (“The results of all sensor tasks are OK.”)

 OR (“The result of at least one sensor task is OK.”)
You can also invert and ignore the result of a link by selecting the entry “NOK” or “Ignore” in column “Nominal
result”.
It is possible to nest the links to any desired depth to achieve even more complex expressions. You can
insert new levels by selecting the “Insert expression” value in the context menu and then the appropriate
type of link. For each sub-link, you can now select the corresponding sensor tasks to be used for the
evaluation. Each sensor task can appear any number of times in the overall expression, but only once at
each level.

Digital inputs in result linking (only XF-100 / XF-200 / XC-100 / XC-200)
You can also include the states of the digital inputs in the total result. They can be nested just like the other
feature checks.
The states of the digital inputs are captured at the trigger point or at the start of image acquisition.
The states of the digital inputs alone cannot be linked; there must be at least one feature check!

12.2 Part location on edges
This sensor task localizes an object using edges. The detected position is used as a reference for the
subsequent sensor tasks. In this way, tilted or displaced objects can also be examined. All working areas and
search beams for which part location is activated are corrected according to the current position of the test
object.
This sensor task does not support external teach-in. If a teach-in procedure is still executed, the parameters
set will be maintained.
In this example, two edges of a test object are found, with a horizontal and a vertical search line, and the
reference point for part location is determined at the intersection of the detected edges.
 If you wish to change the reference position of the part location, press the Teach button and the new
position will be adopted.

Radeberg, Germany
®
Set the parameters of the part location as follows:

 Determine alignment for: Select the type of part location. You can determine either offset and
rotation on two edges, offset and rotation on three edges, only horizontal or only vertical offset. A
shorter computing time is required with fewer edges.
 Depending on whether you wish to align to one or two edges, you must then draw the search lines
directly in the image using the mouse. Hold the left mouse button depressed during this.
 Position the search lines such that the sought contour is intersected as closely as possible to the
middle. The first contour is detected which intersects the search line along the search axis. You can
correct the positioning at any time.
 With long edges it is advisable to search the main reference edge with two search lines.
Enter the criteria:

 Min. edge length: You must also specify whether a short, medium or long edge is to be sought.
Using User defined, you may manually enter the length of an edge (5-1000 pixels).
 Transition: For each edge, you must specify whether the edge progresses from bright to dark or
from dark to bright.
 Minimum contrast: Specify whether you are searching for an edge with sharp or weak contrast.

12.3 Part location on a circle
With this sensor task, you can align a round object with regard to its center. It is also possible to correct the
angle of rotation on the basis of an edge along the object.
In this example, the shape of the ring-pull on a drinks can is examined. The angle of rotation is determined
and corrected by the soft sensor “Part location in a circle”.
This sensor task does not support external teach-in. If a teach-in procedure is still executed, the parameters
set will be maintained.
Set the parameters for part location on a circle as follows:
 Select the shape of the working area. A circular ring and a circular ring sector can be chosen.
 Draw the inner and outer reference circles with the mouse.
 The inspection of a circle is always conducted along the individual segments from circle A to circle B
and in the direction indicated by the blue arrows.
 Adjust the edge length, transition type and contrast until the circle is reliably detected.

Radeberg, Germany
®
 Select the type of part location. You can either search for a circle and thereby compensate
displacement or also detect rotation of the object by an edge in close proximity.
 Draw the arc with the mouse to search for the associated edge.
Enter the criteria:

 Min. edge length: You must also specify whether a short, medium or long edge is to be sought.
Using User defined, you may manually enter the length of an edge (5-1000 pixels).
 Transition: For each edge, you must specify whether the edge can progress from bright to dark or
from dark to bright or in both directions.
 Direction: Select the direction of the search
 If you wish to change the reference position of the part location, press the Teach button and the new
position will be adopted.

12.6 Circle
This sensor task determines the position, the diameter and the circularity of a circle in comparison to a
reference circle that is taught in. The search area for a circle is defined by selecting a minimum inner circle
and a maximum outer circle. Both the position and the diameter of the detected circle are compared with
switching points.
This sensor task does not support external teach-in. The switching points for the diameter are adjusted as a
percentage to the current measured value. The thresholds for the distance remain unchanged as the newly
programmed circle is adopted as a reference and the distance reverts to zero.
 Select the shape of the working area. A circular ring and a circular ring sector can be chosen.
In this example, the diameter, position and circularity of a hole are determined by measuring from the outer
circle towards the inner circle. Both results appear directly on the display.

inputs or via the process interface. The selected job is always processed with the next trigger.
Signal CS-100 / XF-100 / XF-200 / ID-100 / ID-110 / XC-100 / XC-200

Run-up program selection T1* Jobs 1-16: 5 ms
Jobs 17-255: typically < 1 s
(plus the set exposure time)
During program selection (T1), the device is not active, and the Camera Ready signal is deactivated. Please
wait with the next image analysis operation until the "Active" state is displayed again by the corresponding
signal.
If the switch could not be performed, for example because the job number was invalid, an alarm signal is
also output until the next trigger.
NOTE
If a job is selected again by way of Job switching, and this job is already active, the
Camera Ready signal is not deactivated!
The Output Enable and Results signals are still switched in accordance with the settings of the previous job.

13.6 Job selection via digital inputs

®
There are two ways of switching the active job of the VeriSens via the digital inputs:
 Binary: The active job can be selected directly by a combination of the levels at the digital inputs.
 Bit serial: The stored jobs can be selected directly using a clock and data line.
Switching between jobs is only possible when the sensor is set to Run mode. Switching between jobs is not
possible in any other modes. Observe that you must activate the option Activate job selection via digital
inputs in the Job management to execute job selection by this means.
You can also switch the active job by transferring corresponding commands via the process interface.

Radeberg, Germany
®
13.6.1 Binary job selection

®
For VeriSens maximum of four digital inputs are available for job selection.
It is possible to quickly switch between jobs 1 to 16 in this way.
The allocation of the levels to the selected job is as follows:
Binary job Binary job Binary job Binary job

selection – selection – selection – selection –
Bit 0 Bit 1 Bit 2 Bit 3
Job 1 Low Low Low Low
Job 2 High Low Low Low
Job 3 Low High Low Low
Job 4 High High Low Low
Job 5 Low Low High Low
Job 6 High Low High Low
Job 7 Low High High Low
Job 8 High High High Low
…
Job 16 High High High High
NOTE
Please observe that this table relates to the configuration of the inputs as “active high”. If
you have configured an input as “active low”, you must invert the specified levels for this
input in the overview.

Radeberg, Germany

13.6.2 Bit serial job selection
Signal applied to the input

min. max.
Result retention time T1 10 ms 1,000 ms
Two digital inputs are required for bit serial job switching: the digital inputs IN2 (“Bit serial job selection –
Clock“) and IN3 (“Bit serial job selection – Data“). When inactive, high levels are applied to both lines. The
levels of the data line are set briefly to low and then returned to high to start the transfer.
The desired job number can then be transferred as a series of bits. The respective bits must be transferred
with the following levels on the data line:
Value Level on the data line

0 High
1 Low
As soon as a rising edge is detected on the clock line, the corresponding bit is read on the data line. The
status of the data line must be held constant for the result retention time T1 and may only change when a low
level is set on the clock line.
When all 8 bits have been transferred in this way, the inactive state is restored.
We recommend that switching to the next bit on the data line should be done simultaneously with activation
of the falling edge on the clock line.
NOTE
This description applies when the parameters of the inputs are set to "active high”. If you
have configured an input as “active low”, you must invert the specified levels for these
inputs in the description.
You should also make sure that you have made the following settings for bit-serial job
selection:
In Job management you must set the source “Digital inputs”.

For digital I / Os the parameters for the digital inputs 2 and 3 must be set as “Bit
serial job selection – Clock“ or “Bit serial job selection – Data“.

13.7 Alarm signal
The alarm signal is activated under the following conditions in parallel with the Pass/Fail signal of the
current image acquisition/analysis operation:
 Invalid trigger (trigger during image acquisition or job switching)

 Analysis aborted prematurely (output time exceeded)
 Error in job selection (invalid job number)
 Error at process interface
 FTP Alarm (An error occurred while transferring the images via the FTP client.)
If image analysis is not being performed at this time, the alarm signal is activated in parallel with the
Pass/Fail signal of the next image acquisition/analysis operation if an error occurs.
NOTE
This output time for the alarm signal is not necessarily the next (seen chronologically)
Pass/Fail signal if you are using the Camera Ready or Output Enable signals.
The alarm signal is activated immediately under the following circumstances and maintained until the next
trigger or until a successful job switch:
 Job switching
o if a job is selected that is not completely configured
o if a job is selected that is not present
 Device activation
o if an active job was not selected at Power On

By default, the current image is refreshed as quickly as possible. If you want a constant image refresh rate,
®
say to reduce network traffic, you can change this rate using a parameter on opening the VeriSens web
interface:
http://[IP address VeriSens]/?refreshTime=t
The cycle time t is specified in milliseconds. A value of 0 means that the images are to be transferred as
quickly as possible.
If display errors result when using a fixed image refresh rate, please increase the cycle time value.
NOTE
It is possible that the device is transferring image data via the web interface while
simultaneously being linked to an Application Suite. In this case, the image data are
preferably transferred to the Application Suite with the image frequency on the web
interface being correspondingly reduced.
You can check in the Status area whether the device is linked to an Application Suite.

15 Communication via the VeriSens® process interface

®
This chapter provides an overview of the VeriSens process interface.
NOTE
®
The VeriSens CS-100 does not support any communication via the process interface..
15.1 Adjustments Ethernet
15.1.1 Configuration of the Ethernet interface

®
The VeriSens is integrated via the process interface using an Ethernet connection and port 23 (“Telnet”).
For this purpose, connect the device with your machine and set the parameters, in particular the
configuration of the IP address, using the Application Suite.
The following parameters are also required to control the logical transfer of the process data:
Parameter Description Values

Result Time of result transfer On request
Continuous
Receive timeout Maximum duration between two 10 – 2,000 ms
characters
Response delay Duration between reception of a Min: 0 – 2,000 ms
command and transmission of the Max: 500 – 10,000 ms
response
The transfer of the datagrams can occur at two different times:
 The vision sensor transfers the telegrams on request, i.e. as a response to the command “GD“.
This mode is designated “Polling mode”.
 The vision sensor transfers data continuously after each image has been transferred.
This mode is designated “Continuous mode”.

Radeberg, Germany
®
15.1.2 Protocol structure – Ethernet
®
After you have established a connection with VeriSens via the set port, you can request data from the
®
device or transfer commands. To do this, you may use the VeriSens protocol. This consists of a 2-byte
command code followed by the parameters and the actual data.
The datagrams may also be terminated with the following control characters:
 <CR> (Hex: 0D, Escape-Sequenz: \r)

 <LF> (Hex: 0A, Escape-Sequenz: \n)
 <CR><LF> (Hex: 0D 0A, Escape-Sequenz: \r\n)
 No characters
15.2 Adjustments RS485(ID-100 only)
15.2.1 Configuration of the RS485 interface (ID-100 only)

®
The integration of the VeriSens via the process interface is made with an RS485 connection. For this
purpose, connect the device with your machine using the pins provided and set the RS485 parameters using
the Application Suite.
The following parameters are available with which the physical transfer is controlled:

Baud rate Transfer speed 9600, 38400, 57600,115200, 230400 bps
Parity Control of the parity bit none, even, odd
Data bits Number of bits per character 8
Stop bits Number of stop bits as end code 1
The following parameters are also required to control the logical transfer of the process data:

Device number Address in the bus protocol 1 – 254
Protocol Protocol type Point-to-point
Bus without checksum
Bus with checksum
Result Time of result transfer On request
Continuous
Receive timeout Maximum duration between two 10 – 2,000 ms
characters
Response delay Duration between reception of a Min: 0 – 2,000 ms
command and transmission of the Max: 500 – 10,000 ms
response
The transfer of the datagrams can occur at two different times:
 The vision sensor transfers the telegrams on request, i.e. as a response to the command “GD“.
This mode is designated “Polling mode”.
Radeberg, Germany
®
 The vision sensor transfers data continuously after each image has been transferred.
This mode is designated “Continuous mode”.
15.2.2 Protocol structure - RS485 (ID-100 only)
Two means of data transfer are available for the operation of the process interface:
 Point-to-point protocol
This protocol is a shortened form of the bus protocol. It provides no means of addressing or
verification with a checksum. This protocol is suitable when fast reaction times and low data volumes
are concerned and transfers are verified by other means.
 Bus protocol
®
This protocol permits up to 254 VeriSens devices to be accessed on one RS485 bus.
Communication security is ensured by the use of synchronization signals and an optional checksum
The formatting of the data is also more strictly defined in this protocol, simplifying further processing.
Point-to-point protocol:
The point-to-point protocol consists of a 2-byte command designator followed by the parameters and the
actual data. No control codes are used. Synchronization can be achieved using receive timeout.
Bus protocol:
If you wish to transfer more than 65,535 bytes, e.g. jobs, you can extend the length to 8 bytes (sufficient for
32
2 bytes). This changes the start and end codes:

Radeberg, Germany
®
This protocol has a defined format:
Element Size Meaning

{/[ 1 byte These codes are used for synchronization of the transfer.
(/<
If you specify the length in 4 bytes, use the code “{“ (telegram
with checksum) or “[“ (telegram without checksum).
If you specify the length in 8 bytes, use the code “(“ (telegram
with checksum) or “<” (telegram without checksum).
Length 4 or 8 bytes ASCII- The length is equivalent to the number of transferred bytes
Hex from the device number (inclusive) to the end of the data, i.e.
without any checksum.
If the telegram exceeds a length of 65,535 bytes and you

require 8 bytes for the length, you must use the start code “(“ or
“<”.
®
Device number 2-byte ASCII hex Each connected VeriSens device has its own device number
in a range from 1 (“01“)-254 (“FE“). Number 0 is reserved to
address the bus master (PLC, PC ...).
Device number 255 (“FF”) can be used to send commands to

all connected devices simultaneously.
Command 2 byte Command designation
Parameter 4-12 bytes Each command has a parameter block at least 4 bytes in
length, some of which remain unused.
Data variable Optional data section, which may contain result or job data.
Checksum 2-byte ASCII hex The checksum is produced by linking all characters beginning
with the device number to the end of the data byte for byte with
XOR.
The checksum must only be specified if the start code “{“ or “(“
is used, otherwise this entry is omitted.
}/] 1 byte These codes are used as the end codes of the command
)/> blocks.
If you specify the length in 4 bytes, use the code “}” (datagram
with checksum) or “]” (datagram without checksum).
If you specify the length in 8 bytes, use the code “)” (datagram
with checksum) or “>” (datagram without checksum).
The following section is used to calculate the checksum:

Radeberg, Germany

Receipt timeout
Signal Duration
min. max.
Receive timeout T1 10 ms 2000 ms
If errors occur in the communication, receiving is terminated after a defined time. The data received to this
point is then discarded. The possible error causes may be:
 The cable was unplugged or mechanically damaged during the transfer.

 Transmission of the data was prematurely terminated due to a technical fault.
 An error occurred in the transfer of the length information, so that the information is incorrectly
®
transferred. The VeriSens then presumes an incorrect overall length of the data.

15.3.4 Response delay
Signal Duration
min. max.
Response time T1 0 ms Max. { T2, T3 } + T4
No further commands must be transferred
during this time!
Reaction time T2 Ethernet 1 ms 5 ms
RS 485 1 ms 5 ms + 2.5 ms
(only for VeriSens® ID- per 128 bytes data
100)
Response delay T3 T2 10,000 ms
Transfer time T4 Dependent on the transfer parameters and the length of
the data
The transfer of the data begins not before time T 2 or the value set by the user.
If the time of the maximum response delay is exceeded without data being transferred, the possible
response is discarded and you can transfer further commands.
Please observe that the received command will be processed in any case, even if no response datagram has
been transferred due to the elapse of the maximum response time. For example, it is possible that this time
could be exceeded when switching the active job. In this case, you will receive no confirmation, although the
active job has been changed. If necessary, query the device status if you have received no confirmation.

Parameters of the “RD” datagram response
The datagram contains the results of the last image analysis.
NOTE
The time stamp in the datagram consists of 8 ASCII characters which specify the number of milliseconds
®
since the system start of the VeriSens device as a hexadecimal number. This value reverts from
4,294,967,295 ms to the value 0 ms after about 49.7 days.
Numbers in datagrams can be represented in different ways:
Representation Description
ASCII decimal Decimal notation of the number.
Negative numbers are represented with “-”.
„123“, „78“, „89“, „-123“
ASCII hexadecimal Hexadecimal notation of the number.
Negative numbers are represented as a complement.
“7B”, “4E”, “59”, FF85
binary Binary output of the number.
Measured value 123: Characters output 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x7B

Radeberg, Germany
®
NOTE
In ASCII decimal, the sign is included in the length. For example, if a length with the value
of 4 is set, this results in a range of values from –999 to 9999.
Example for the transfer of result data
The configuration of the datagram is set as shown in the illustrations:
®
A possible response from the VeriSens device would be: RD000ESTP ,P ,0125ET
This is assembled as follows:
®

Each sensor task’s result is represented within 1 Byte. The inspection result is described by "P" (result OK)
or "F" (result NOK).
An interpretation of this datagram produces:
The overall result of the last image analysis was OK. The value 125 was measured in the working area of the
sensor task “Brightness”. The individual result of this sensor task was also OK.

State status Number of the active job
Parameters of the “RS” command – Current status information
The current status information consists of 8 characters, of which the first 4 characters describe various states
in a bit mask and the other 4 characters contain the current job number.
When a job is being transferred via the process interface, the current status of this action can be queried by
the PLC. The corresponding bit “Job update active” is set during the data transfer period. This bit remains set
until the job has been completely transferred and stored or an error has occurred. The success of the action
can then be assessed by the corresponding bits “Job update – OK” and “Job update – error”. These flags are
retained until the next transfer of a job.

16 Cleaning
®
Due to its compact design, the VeriSens is characterized by almost maintenance-free operation.
When used for the intended purpose, it is possible that the optical surfaces may need to be cleaned from
time to time.
®
Clean optical areas are required for the consistent and reproducible operation of the VeriSens .
®
Ensure that the glass cover of the VeriSens is protected as well as possible against dust. If your application
does not permit this, the glass cover must be cleaned at longer or shorter intervals as necessary.
ATTENTION!
Ensure that no residues of the cleaning agent or scratches remain on the glass. These
can permanently damage the reproducibility of the results from the VeriSens Vision
Sensor.
For cleaning, use a soft, non-linting cloth to clean the area of the glass cover without scratching.
To clean stubborn dirt, commonly available window cleaning agent is recommended.
