Using the Remote I/O Link
4–7
You can obtain inspection result information for each of the inspection tools
over the Remote I/O link. There are two levels of access to this information:
Discrete Bits. These bits indicate pass/fail/warning data. Note that there
are 256 input bits from the Color CVIM to the PLC. That input consists
of two pages of 128 bits each. The first 128 bits refer to the first half of
the toolset, and the second 128 bits refer to the second half of the toolset.
Result Data Words. These words contain actual inspection result data such
as measured lengths, number of black pixels, etc.
Note: Refer to Appendix B for a description of the discrete bit results and
Appendix C for a description of numerical results data blocks.
If you are using the Remote I/O link to communicate with a PLC–2, –3, or
–5 (or PLC–5/250 in another rack), you must configure the Color CVIM
module as follows:
Select the Remote I/O port for communications:
Note: This step is not required if you are only reading results.
1. Select the setup menu <Setup>.
2. Select the environment menu <Envir/Cam>.
3. Select the system menu <System>.
4. Select a Host menu <CFG Host> or <SYS Host>.
5. Select remote I/O option <Remote I/O>.
Note: Unless a separate configuration host is being used, set both the CFG
Host & SYS Host for Remote I/O.
Configure Color CVIM module I/O parameters:
6. Select the I/O menu <I/O>.
7. Select <1771 Remote I/O> option.
8. Enable the Remote I/O port by selecting <Enabled>.
9. Select the rack address (octal) using the keypad.
10.Select the baud rate <57.6Kbaud> or other options.
Select the Color CVIM module trigger source:
11. Select the trigger source menu <Trigger Source>.
12.Select either <I/O>, <Hosted>, or <Internally Triggered> trigger sources.
Note: The example connection diagram shown on Figure 4.9 shows a trigger
using the local I/O board.
