Conveyor Tracking Conveyor Tracking This chapter describes the Conveyor Tracking (moving-line) feature. The ACE software provides a graphical interface for programming your Omron Adept motion (and vision) system. Further, the ACE Process Manager, which is included with the ACE software, allows you to build conveyor-tracking applications through a point-and-click interface. Therefore, Omron Adept strongly recommends that you use the ACE software for this functionality. For more details, see the chapter Process Control in the ACE User's Guide . Optionally, you can use eV+ to manually program a conveyor-tracking application, as described in this chapter.
The following sections contain installation and application instructions for using the conveyor-tracking feature in eV+. Before using this chapter, you should be familiar with eV+ and the basic operation of the robot.
