Conveyor Tracking

Conveyor tracking-related parameters.

Setting with the Teach Pendant

Items with A in the auto-setting column on the table below are automatically set in a series of the conveyor tracking setting operation. For details about operation, refer to "Setup of the Sensor Tracking" and "Setup of the Vision Tracking System" of CONVEYOR TRACKING MANUAL.
To set a parameter manually, from the top menu, press [F10 Tracking]-[F12 Detail]. For details about operation, refer to "Parameter Setting" in the Sensor Tracking or "Parameter Setting" in the Vision Tracking under the CONVEYOR TRACKING MANUAL.

Parameter List

Each item has 16 parameter numbers for Conveyor 1 to 16.
For example, in Item name "Conveyor Type", parameter number 1 to 4 correspond to Conveyor 1 to 4, parameter number 209 to 212 correspond to Conveyor 5 to 8, parameter number 413 to 416 correspond to Conveyor 9 to 12, and parameter number 617 to 620 correspond to Conveyor 13 to 16. (If your controller is Ver.1.11.* or lower, available parameters are the ones for conveyor 1 and 2.)

0 (default): After the execution of TrackSetVision command or TrackSetSensor command, the encoder value that has been obtained at the timing of sensor's interruption is deleted.

1: After the execution of TrackSetVision command or TrackSetSensor command, the encoder value that has been obtained at the timing of sensor's interruption is NOT deleted.
The conveyor's encoder value is kept until the conveyor's encoder value is obtained next time.
This setting enables to share one encoder value in parallelly-installed same-length two conveyors.
