General Information

Built-in Vision is a function of a robot controller to process images. Using Built-in Vision allows you to process images without installing other visual controllers.
To use Built-in Vision, directly connect the FA camera to the robot controller as shown below.

Connectable FA cameras are the following.

• USB Camera
  Connect a FA camera to a USB port of the robot controller to use.
  For RC8 series, a USB camera (manufactured by IDS) is available.
  USB3.0 is not recommendable because the RC8 series controllers have only USB2.0 ports. (Only USB2.0 cameras have been checked for operation.)
• GigE Camera
  Connect a FA camera to a LAN port of the robot controller to use.
  For RC8 series robot controller, GigE-supported area sensor cameras "ace series" manufactured by Basler are available.
  (GigE: Gigabit Ethernet)
• Network camera
  Connect a network camera to a LAN port of the robot controller to use.
  For RC8 series robot controller, network cameras "WebView Livescope series" manufactured by Canon are available.

Wiring Instruction for Setting and Adjustment

Setting and adjustment of Built-in Vision are performed by checking the data processing and the processed image with a computer.

For USB Camera

Connect a computer to a LAN port of the robot controller.

For Gig-E Camera and Network Camera

Because the robot controller has only one LAN port, you need to use a hub to connect both computer and camera. After setting and adjustment are completed, disconnect the hub and then directly connect the camera to the robot controller.
