6.2.3 PresencePLUS/Kawasaki Vision Guidance and Inspection
Integrating Banner Vision Sensors with Kawasaki Robot Controllers
Quick Start
This document describes how to integrate a Banner PresencePLUS sensor with Kawasaki Robot Controllers,
and:
• includes instructions for establishing communications between the PresencePLUS sensor and a
Kawasaki Robot Controller
• describes how to set up a sample PresencePLUS vision inspection
• provides a sample Kawasaki AS Language program
Below is a quick overview of the procedure for integrating PresencePLUS sensors with Kawasaki Robot
Controllers and, where noted, more details are provided in the document subsections.
Tasks to Complete Main Steps
Establish communication between
the PresencePLUS sensor and the 1. Install and physically connect a Banner PresencePLUS Vision
Sensor to a Kawasaki controller.
