51. SL-2005-022-d Introduction to Scorpion Vision Software Page 51 Defining the State Constrains One or more logical conditions can be used A logical condition is either true (value=1) or false (value=0) The logical conditions are set in the tool box based on testing results from any vision tool against user defined conditions (distance, area, radius)

52. SL-2005-022-d Introduction to Scorpion Vision Software Page 52 Define State Commands Depending on inspection result (States), one or more commands can be executed: –Sending status info to PLC or Robot –Sending data to PLC or Robot or a database –Save images

54. SL-2005-022-d Introduction to Scorpion Vision Software Page 54 Inspection criteria A business rule consisting of: –A combination of measured values –A priori knowledge about the inspection task The business rules are used to define states that reflect the purpose of the machine vision system.

55. SL-2005-022-d Introduction to Scorpion Vision Software Page 55 Defining Inspection criteria Select inspection parameters: –Measurements of area, dimensions (line, distance, radius) –Read or verify text or code –Verify a colour or greyscale surface –Find or verify position and rotation –Counting number of areas, lines, circles Set inspection tolerances: –Acceptable +/- values for each inspection parameter –Apply customer specification and knowledge about the task

56. SL-2005-022-d Introduction to Scorpion Vision Software Page 56 Typical Inspection Criteria States –Object Present –Type of object –Inspection Passed –Cannot measure Parameters –Area of object within certain limits –Size of object –Radius within tolerances –Quality of circle too low
