Software Overview
The CV-H5N communication software is for use with the CV-5001 Series machine vision system.
■ Overview
This software allows the user to acquire and store data from a CV-5001 Series controller to a computer via an
Ethernet, USB or RS-232 connection. Data can be displayed on the computer screen in real time and can be
output to an Excel file. Setting and image files from the CV-5001 can be backed up on the computer and loaded
into another CV-5001 unit. The CV-5001 settings can be edited and the results can be confirmed on a computer
using the Simulator feature.
■ Software functions
1. Simulator
The operation of a CV-5001 can be simulated on a computer.
The simulator interface is designed to emulate the CV-5001 user interface exactly.
2. Data loading function
Data created on a CV-5001 Series controller can be loaded onto a computer and displayed in real time.
The computer can then determine if the output results are valid and save them.
3. Log creation function
Output data loaded from a CV-5001 Series controller can be saved in a log file according to preset conditions.
4. Exporting to an Excel file
Output data loaded from a CV-5001 Series controller can be saved in an Excel file.
5. Program data management and program parameter list creation
CV Program files, saved images and configuration files for the CV-5001 Series can be downloaded and saved on
a computer. Also, CV Program and image files saved on a CV-5001 Series controller or a computer can be loaded
into a different CV-5001 Series controller. CV Programs that have been loaded onto a computer can be displayed
and stored in Excel.
Reference
These functions can all be used with multiple CV-5001 Series controllers connected over a network (maximum 8 devices).
However, only one series controller can be connected via USB or RS-232.
Note
A serial key is required to run the simulator.
For more details, refer to "Obtaining a Serial Key for the Simulator" (page 1-12).
