In the Robot Server section at the bottom of the Jobs tab, activate the robot server, if needed. By default, the robot server is active on the Smart Camera B60 and inactive on the Machine Vision Controller MVC. Additional parameters appear if activated:

Settings

  • Robot Manufacturer: Select the relevant robot manufacturer (UR Polyscope 5 URCap, UR Polyscope X Script, Kuka, ABB, Kassow Robots, Fanuc or Generic).
  • Robot Port: Depending on the robot manufacturer, the default port is shown. Edit the port, if needed (e.g., in case of port conflicts at several processing instances on the Machine Vision Controller MVC). Make sure to use a unique port. If the port is already in use, change the port and wait approximately one minute for the error to disappear.
  • Current Calibration File: Shows the name of the currently loaded calibration file.
  • Load Calibration File: Load another calibration file. The calibration file is only valid for one specific device, and only as long as the relation between camera, lens, and robot is unchanged (e.g. it becomes invalid if the camera position changes, or if the lens changes — e.g. via a different focus position on B60 autofocus devices).

Status

  • Robot Connection: Shows if the robot controller is connected to the robot server or not.
  • Processing Instance Connection: Shows if the robot server is connected to the processing instance via the LIMA Read Write Limited port or not.
  • Device Robot: Shows if the robot server is connected to Device Robot Vision or not.
  • Error: Shows if there is any error (e.g., if calibration file does not fit the device).
