PanelScan Integration Guide Getting Started – Create a Basic One-Camera PanelScan Job The following example shows how use a one-camera Standard PanelScan system. If you have a two-camera Wide system, it is still useful to complete this exercise to familiarize yourself with the interface. The Vision Setup section describes how to align the two cameras to form a single wide image using the Vision Setup tab of the Multi-Scan Setup dialog. From the Vision Setup section, you can return here to run this exercise again. Once system imaging is configured, you can begin to set up vision jobs and run board panels. Most panels are laid out with a certain number of rows and columns of boards.
PanelScan makes it easy to train the system on these panels. This basic job example shows you how to train a panel laid out in a regular grid of 4 rows and 5 columns of boards. The symbols are a mix of barcode and Data Matrix. You can use any sample board to follow this example job. To train a new panel with PanelScan Standard: • Start PanelScan. Note: If you have set up the previous configuration menu for two cameras, set the number of cameras back to 1 and re-start PanelScan. • Click the New File button. • Step through the dialogs with the Next button until you reach the Scan Setup tab. • On this tab, choose Standard Grid Layout , 4 Rows , 5 Columns and Both for Expected Label Type .
• Click Finish . The system now creates a new vision job containing all the required vision tools. The system then helps you place these tools in the right locations. • Click the Take Picture button. You will see that the camera is ready and waiting for a trigger. • Place a board on the conveyor and run it under the camera. It should trigger the camera and then an image should automatically appear on the screen. • Teach the system the layout of the boards on the panel by clicking the Teach Layout button to the right of the Trigger button. The screen will automatically zoom in to the upper left corner and will prompt you to train the upper-leftmost symbol in the image at Row 1, Column 1 .
You can scroll to this exact label and zoom in by clicking and rolling the mouse wheel, or by using the zoom buttons. • When you reach the upper-leftmost symbol, left-click in the center of the symbol. A red + will appear over the symbol. You can click multiple times to position the + in the exact center of the symbol. 17 Copyright © 2019 Omron Microscan Systems, Inc.
