Omron F160-2 Visual Expert Guide

ERR signal abnormal lighting: In SYS/Measurement control, if "STEP in measure" is set to "ERR ON", when a new trigger signal is received before the measurement is completed, ERR will light up. Can be changed to "OFF" or optimized for bus timing.

Failed to save image: The maximum number of stored images is 35, and when the limit is reached, the new image will overwrite the old image. If long-term storage is required, image data should be backed up to a storage card or computer in TOOL mode.

8.4 Operation error prompt

Draw at least one OR figure ": It is not allowed to use NOT mode without an OR region when drawing the area.

Select midpoint between 2 regions for X and Y ": In position compensation, if a relative angle (midpoint between two regions) is used in the θ direction, then X and Y must also be midpoints and cannot be a single region.

“Cannot measure the angle from this region”： Attempting to output angles from regions that only support center of gravity and area, one should use center of gravity and axis angle or rotation search instead.

Insufficient work memory ": If the registered model is too large or the scene is too complex, the model area can be reduced or unnecessary measurement areas can be deleted.

Maintenance and Data Backup

Flash storage: All changes made in SET mode must be SAVE operated before power off, otherwise data will be lost. SAVE writes scene group 0 and system data to flash memory, and scene groups 1-31 to memory cards.

Backup strategy: It is recommended to use TOOL mode to backup the entire system data or scene group data to the computer through XMODEM/ZMODEM protocol, or directly save it to a storage card. The storage card file can be imported into another F160 for cloning.

Battery inspection: Check the battery status in SYS/System information. If "Replace" appears, the internal lithium battery needs to be replaced (refer to the hard manual steps), otherwise the date, time, and some retention data may be lost.

Regular calibration: If the lens is replaced or the working distance is changed, re calibration is required to maintain physical accuracy.

Summary and on-site quick reference table

Key points of demand operation path

Quickly set new detection SET → adjust image → position compensation → select measurement method → draw area → set judgment conditions and make good use of BGS and filtering

Output measurement values to PLC expression (Data) → SYS/Output Select Parallel Pay attention to matching data format with PLC

Angle positioning rotation search or center of gravity and axis rotation search is slow but adaptable to large angles

Multi variety switching usage scenario (Scene) function can assign buttons for quick switching
