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