Making the Robot Controller Recognize the Camera

To make a robot controller recognize a camera automatically, before you turn on the robot controller, turn on the power supply of the camera. If the robot controller has been started when the camera starts, the robot controller cannot recognize the camera automatically.

When the camera cannot be recognized automatically for any reason (such as the robot controller has been started), make the robot controller recognize the camera manually. The following describes the operation procedures.

1. In the Built-in vision menu, press [F6 Disconnect], close the Built-in vision function.
2. [F6 Disconnect] is changed to [F6 Connect]. Press [F6 Connect] to recognize a camera.

For details, refer to "Displaying and Operating the Built-in Vision".
