If this parameter is set to Enable (the default setting), the I/O control input IN2 must be
connected to V+ (24V DC). (This is in addition to a trigger input on IN1 (external trigger)). If
the control input IN2 is not connected to V+, the MultiSight is in standby mode and will not
execute evaluations unless the trigger mode is continuous (see page 58 for more details.)
Trigger Mode
Triggered
External trigger signal (IN1) or the software command button “Trigger” initiates image exposure
and evaluation.
Continuous
A new evaluation is started as soon as the previous evaluation completes.
Shutter Adjustment
Manual
Manual setting of the shutter speed (recommended).
Automatic Teach
The shutter value is set automatically by the MultiSight when the Teach command is
executed.
Position Control
Activate evaluation of position deviation X and/or Y (pass/fail output only; positional information not available as a
discrete output.
position data is available via EtherNet/IP.)
Off
Position evaluation de-activated
Only X
Evaluation direction X
Only Y
Evaluation direction Y
X/Y rectangle
Evaluation direction X and Y with rectangular deviation area (blue frame)
X/Y ellipse
Evaluation direction X and Y with elliptical deviation area (blue frame)
Position Control is only used with Detector Types Pattern Match and Contour Match. When the pattern or contour is
successfully detected (i.e., OUT1 is active), the Position Control analyzes whether the pattern is within the blue
position frame. The Position Output OUT2 is active when the pattern is detected and the center of the pattern (the
green cross in the center of the green “detected pattern” frame) is inside the blue position frame.
The area for the position evaluation can be marked by double clicking the blue frame and adjusting the position
and shape using the mouse. Approach the line with the mouse pointer until it changes to a horizontal or vertical
double arrow. Keeping the left-hand mouse button pressed, the line can now be moved to the desired position.
