Banner PresencePLUS P4 COLOR Series - Manual (Page 9)

Chapter 2 System Description
The PresencePLUS ProII and P4 sensor families are easy-to-use camera systems with advanced visual inspection
capability. With minimal knowledge of vision systems, a user can quickly set up a PresencePLUS ProII or P4 and run
an inspection that tests products accurately, rejecting bad products on a production line.
Inspections are set up using a personal computer (PC). A digital camera inside the Vision sensor captures images, and
the sensor software analyzes the images using one or more Vision tools to pass or fail the product. The PC is not
required for running inspections after the inspection files have been stored in the sensor’s memory.
Inspection setup involves focusing the camera and selecting the appropriate Location, Vision, and Analysis tools. The
full range of inspection tolerances can be established either automatically or manually. The automatic Teach function
eliminates the iterative process of determining correct tolerances.
The PresencePLUS ProII and P4 Sensor families accommodate both translational and rotational variation. Parts moving
down a production line or web need not be oriented in exactly the same way.
The Sensor is easy to operate, with both basic and advanced options. New users can follow the guided Setup sequence.
Advanced users can override automatic settings and create highly customized inspections.
