Short description

Key functions of ifm System Solutions App O2I (AP3022):



Connection setup for up to 5 cameras of type O2I1xx / O2I3xx.



Monitoring of the Ethernet connection to the cameras. The connection status is transferred via the fieldbus to the upper level PLC.

Caution: The connection status of a camera will only be updated for this camera after triggering it.



Gateway function between the ethernet based O2I-Camera-Data and the fieldbus of the AC14: o AC1401/02: Profinet o AC1411/12: Profibus o AC1421/22: EtherNet/IP



The cameras can be triggered via the fieldbus and the Web-Interface.



The reading results of the cameras are transferred to the fieldbus and displayed in the Web-Interface.

Groundworks for using the ifm System Solutions App

1. Setup the camera within the Software

‘efector dualis Multicode Reader Parameter setting software’ which you can find on the USB stick:



Set the global device settings of the process interface of the O2I-Multicode-

Readers like shown in the picture below:



Set the network parameters of the O2I-Multicode-Readers:

i f m S y s t e m S o l u t i o n s



Create a new configuration and configure all required image quality parameters for your application.



Set the ‘Trigger type’ in the Tab element ‘Trigger configuration’ to ‘TCP/IP’.



Define in the tab element

‘Code type’ the right one for your application, e.g.

EAN13.



For the Process interface settings the default values must be used:



Save all settings and disconnect the existing device connection.

The user interface

URL of the O2I configuration page: http://<IP-Adresse*>:8080/o2i.htm

On this screen the cameras IP addresses, the port numbers and the code length can be entered. As soon as the option field ‘Activate connection to camera’ is activated, the AC14 tries to establish a connection to the camera. The connection status is shown for each camera.

Caution: The connection status of a camera will only be updated for this camera after triggering it.

Output field of the detected code.

If no code was detected ‘fail’ is shown here.

If a request is pending ‘busy’ is shown here.

In word 0 of the fieldbus slot ‘Outputs to AC14nn-PLC’ the O2I cameras can be triggered:

Bit 0: not used

Bit 1: Kamera 1

Bit 2: Kamera 2

Bit 3: Kamera 3

Bit 4: Kamera 4

Bit 5: Kamera 5

The trigger signals of each camera are monitored by the SmartPLC AC14 for a rising edge. Only this edge triggers the camera.

In word 0 of the fieldbus slot

‘Inputs from AC14nn-PLC’ the camera connection status is transmitted:

Bit 0: not used

Bit 1: camera 1

Bit 2: camera 2

Bit 3: camera 3

Bit 4: camera 4

Bit 5: camera 5

True = connection to camera is ok

False = no connection to camera

Caution: The connection status of a camera will only be updated for this camera after triggering it.

i f m S y s t e m S o l u t i o n s

In the words 1 … n of the fieldbus slots ‘Inputs from AC14nn-PLC’ all camera data are transmitted as dada type String. If an odd number is transmitted by a camera the last character is filled with the value 0. That’s because the next camera data should start on n even word number.

Received code data from camera 1.

In this example an EAN13

Code was detected, i.e. 13 charachters ASCII.

0077890256008

Filling byte to make sure that the data of the next camera starts with the next even word address.
