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".

If Camera Images Cannot Be Obtained

If the images taken by Basler’s GigE camera cannot be obtained using Built-in Vision or other functions, you may be able to fix the problem by using pylon Viewer to set “Inter-Packet Delay” to a higher value than the current value.

1

Select “Transport Layer” in “Feature” to open a menu.

2

You will find “Inter-Packet Delay” among displayed parameters. Set this parameter to a higher value than the current value.
