Typical Applications
The MultiSight is an optical multipixel sensor with a pass/fail PNP output. The MultiSight uses three (
four) different methods of
evaluation (pattern matching, contrast, brightness, and
contour matching) to detect or differentiate objects by means of
previously defined optical characteristics, e.g. for separating “good” and “bad” parts. The main applications are in the field of
industrial automation for quality assurance purposes. The MultiSight can be used for detecting presence or absence, completeness,
position, markings, labeling, packaging, and components. The MultiSight is an economical alternative to conventional vision
systems.
Requirements for Use
To configure the MultiSight, the following items are required: PC or notebook with minimum Pentium III, 1 GHz, 256 MB RAM,
Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, XP™, or Vista™ network connection or network with TCP-IP protocol. Recommended screen resolution
1024 x 768 pixels. Basic knowledge of computing and electronics wiring is also essential. The IP address of the MultiSight is set by
the manufacturer to 192.168.100.100 with sub-net mask 255.255.255.0.
The operation of the MultiSight is independent of a computer or PLC. A PC or notebook is required only for configuring the sensor.
For reproducible results and avoidance of malfunctions, adequate and consistent object illumination is essential.
Reflections or varying incident light may affect detection results.
If necessary, use an external white-light source and/or light-
screening devices to exclude incident light.
