Tips on Correct Use

Tips on Correct Use

Use of Dust-Proof Air Purge Unit

If there are any foreign substances (such as dust or oil) on the cover glass of the optical lens, the measurement precision
decreases. To keep the precision stable, use of the dust-proof air purge unit XR-AP1 (sold separately) is recommended.

Fluctuations in Measured Values Immediately after Power-On

After the camera is turned on, measured values vary due to heat generated by the camera. Warm-up time (measurement
operation: approximately 30 minutes/LED intensity adjustment, 3D calibration: approximately 2 hours) is required until the
measured values stabilize. Note that the warm-up time until the values become stable varies depending on the ambient
environment. Before using the camera, check its warm-up time in the environment where it will actually be installed.

Fluctuations in Brightness of Projectors

Since LED elements are used in the projectors of the XR camera, measurement results may vary depending on ambient
temperature or reduction in intensity due to age deterioration. In such cases, adjust the intensity by using the LED Intensity
Adjustment function of the camera (Page 4-10).

 Installing the Controller

Installing the Controller

Install the controller to the DIN rail, or use the holes on the bottom of the controller to secure it with screws.
Installing and Connecting the Device

• Do not install the controller in a location with lots of dust or water vapor. The controller does not have a mechanism
to protect it from dust or water. Dust or water entering the controller can cause damage to the controller.
• Turn off the controller when connecting or disconnecting an expansion unit, cable, or terminal block.
NOTICE Connecting or disconnecting a camera expansion unit, cable, or terminal block while connected to a power
source may damage the controller or peripheral devices.
• When an expansion unit is not connected, keep the connector protection cover on the controller. Using the
controller with the connector exposed may cause damage to the controller.

Caution on Direction of Controller Mounting

• Install the controller in the direction indicated by the circle shown below. Do not install the controller in any other direction.

Be careful in regard to cooling the unit in the installation site

• For ventilation, keep the space free of objects for 50 mm or more above the controller and 50 mm or more for both sides. Keep
the space free of objects for 90 mm or more in the front of the connector panel in order to connect the cables safely.
• If the controller units are to be installed in rows, make
sure that there are spaces of 50 mm or more between
the controllers, and spaces of 50 mm or more above 50mm 50mm
them.
* If spaces of 50 mm or more are ensured of even on the
underside orientations by DIN rail mounting, etc., then
50mm 50mm 50mm
the units can be used at higher than rated
temperatures.
50mm* 50mm*

• Do not block the ventilation openings on the top and bottom of the controller. If the vents are blocked, heat
will accumulate inside the controller and can cause a system failure.
• If the temperature inside the control panel (temperature at the bottom of the controller) exceeds the rating,
use forced air-cooling or increase the free space around the system to improve ventilation until the operating
ambient temperature decreases below the rating.
NOTICE • When the temperature gets high inside the controller unit, the unit may display abnormal heat generation
alerts such as the following. (1) Warning: you are being notified that it is likely that operations may be
terminated due to high temperatures, (2) Operations terminated: as the possibility of thermal runaway and
unit damage occurring due to high temperature is high, operations are terminated as error state.
If these alerts are displayed, quickly implement countermeasures, such as lowering the usage ambient
temperature below the rated temperature, cooling the controller, and so on.

• The controller is factory-equipped with fan units (CA-F100) on its left sides. Although the fan unit can be detached and
replaced for maintenance, the controller cannot be operated with the fan unit detached.

Notes when connecting cables

• Turn off the power to the controller when connecting or removing cables and terminal blocks. Connecting or
removing cables and terminal blocks while the power is being supplied may damage the camera or
peripheral devices.
• Bundle cables with a spiral tubing like protective material. Direct bundling will concentrate the cable load on
NOTICE the bindings, which can result in cable damage or short circuit.
• In the absence of other specifications, the minimum bending radius (R) should be 3 times or more the external
diameter of the cable (5 times or more is recommended). Additionally, repeated flexing and twisting should be
avoided. The minimum bending radius is the same, even when using high-flex cable. Unless otherwise stated,
use the R100 or greater when using a cable carrier.

trigger 1 input. If a signal can be received, it is output
from the controller to an external device.
• Error output and run mode output (Page 3-5)
Error output is a signal that indicates the operation state
of the controller. If an error occurs on the controller, it is
output from the controller to an external device.
Run mode output is a signal that indicates the operation
state of the controller. If this controller is running, a signal
is output from the controller to an external device.
• Total status output and strobe output (Page 3-6)
Total status output is a signal that indicates whether the
inspection result is OK or NG. If the result is NG, a signal
is output from the controller to an external device.
Strobe output is a signal that indicates the finalization of
Total status output. A signal is output from the controller
to an external device when Total status output is
finalized.

 Total Status Output and Strobe Output

Total Status Output and Strobe Output

This is an example of terminal wiring for checking whether the total status of inspection is OK or NG. If the total status is NG, the
controller turns on terminal No. 2 OUT23 (OR) of the terminal block interface (OUT connector). As this total status is output for
STO (strobe) synchronization, terminal No. 1 OUT22 (STO) of the terminal block interface (OUT connector) is also necessary for
I/O Wiring

checking the total status.

The actual wiring is for terminal No. 1 OUT22 (STO), terminal No. 2 OUT23 (OR), and terminal No. 5 COMOUT1 (COMOUT) of the
terminal block interface (OUT connector).

• For an example of the behavior of total status OR and STO signals, refer to the timing chart (Page 3-7).
Point • To output total status OR, a terminal output unit needs to be added. For details, see the XG-X Series User's

(1) A trigger can be input when the permission output for trigger input is ON. When a trigger is input, the camera
starts capturing images.

This is the behavior when Image Capture Buffer is enabled (default setting).
Reference For details, refer to the "XG-X Series Communications Control Manual".

(2) Each time the total status OR switches, the strobe STO output turns on and after the output time has passed
turns off. Total status OR turns off for a pass (OK) and on for a fail (NG) (default setting). A pass/fail can be
determined by getting the AND of the rise of strobe STO output and the total status OR output.

• To output total status OR, a terminal output unit needs to be added (refer to Setting example)
