Image Processing Application

EVP is an image processing application that processes a pick-and-place operation image by using Denso Robot Vision (Denso Robot Imaging Library) (RC8 series robot controller). Using EVP allows users to set the necessary parameters without programming. With the GUI on the computer, users select arbitrary image processing parameters suitable for the target workpieces, and then send the parameters to robots as "*.evp" files. Users then execute a "*.evp" file by using a robot program depending on the operation to be performed.

To use EVP, you need to register each license below. If you do not have a license, please purchase the license.

• Register "RC Vision (EVP)" license in your computer.
• Register "EVP Runtime" license in your RC8 series controller.

EVP2 is a software that supports necessary configurations for image processing without programming when a robot corrects its position with a vision device. This software offers enhanced functionality and several times greater processing power than the EVP application, while maintaining the same ease of operation.

Images are processed with a camera connected to the controller. To set the image processing, EVP2 Guidance is used. This application will be installed in the computer. When in operation, only controller and a camera connected to controller can be operated.

To correct robot’s position with a vision device, Camera-Robot calibration should be executed. Users can use calibration wizard which is included in EVP2 Guidance for this calibration.

Also, EVP2 equips a function to output the parts distribution status in the detection area. Using this function enables you to control parts movement with any customer-prepared device, such as a feeder.

EVP2 is available to a robot controller with Ver.2.11.* or higher and engine board code E in its controller type.

For more information on controller type, refer to "Controller Type".

To use EVP2, you need to register each license below. If you do not have a license, please purchase the license.

• Register "RC Vision (EVP2)" license in your computer.
• Register "EVP2 Runtime" license in your RC8 series controller.

EIS is a software that stores RC8 series-connected camera images into a computer. Images taken by Built-in Vision (EVP) are temporarily stored in robot controller (hereafter, RC8 series), and reset by the controller power-off. By using EIS, these images are automatically stored in your computer as image files.

To use EIS, you need to register a license below. If you do not have a license, please purchase the license.

• Register "RC Vision (EIS)" license in your computer.
