Introduction
Machine vision systems for quality
assurance and increased productivity
Productive manufacturing processes have to be flexible. Batch
sizes are getting smaller, cycles faster and quality requirements
ever more stringent. Conventional inspection techniques are at
their limits here. Not the case with industrial image processing.
Thanks to its enormous potential, it is becoming a standard
discipline in automation engineering – especially since intelligent vision systems have made them easier to use. A broad
spectrum is available for all fields of application – from code
reading systems for 1D/2D codes, vision sensors for applicationspecific image processing, intelligent cameras for universal
applications through to PC-based image processing systems
for extremely fast applications using several cameras.
Highlights
• Enhanced productivity and quality
• Reliable, automatic visual inspection
saves time and costs
• Automatic identification,
tracking and monitoring of parts
• Optimizes material flow
• Reduces machine downtimes
• Suitable for high-speed processes
• Simple and quick operation
• Flexible due to communication options:
Serial, via PROFIBUS, Ethernet/PROFINET
• Seamless integration into SIMATIC reduces
engineering costs
Code reading systems – Reading and verification of 1D/2D codes
Stationary code reading systems, handheld scanners, sector-specific code reading
systems and verification systems are available for reading and verifying 1D/2D codes.
Vision Sensors – Simple and intelligent
The intelligent vision sensors of the SIMATIC VS100 series as well as the SIMATIC
MV220 color area sensor and the SIMATIC MV230 height profile sensor are specially
designed for application-specific image processing. The product family impresses
customers with a simple operating concept and easy teaching of the inspection task.
Intelligent cameras – for universal applications

Code Reading Systems
Introduction
Code reading systems –
Reading and verification of 1D/2D codes
For state-of-the-art production systems, tracing products and
parts with machine-readable identification is a central requirement. A unique coding system permits the planning of each and
every step of production for every part manufactured and
changes within the production process or in the materials used.
Direct marking of products also allows the implementation of
specified legal requirements for tracing production batches
throughout the production system.
The production spectrum of the Siemens code

Stationary code reading systems
What is Direct Part Marking (DPM) ?
Direct Part Marking (DPM) indicates the application of a mark
directly on the surface of a product without the use of a separate
carrier material such as e.g. an adhesive label. This makes it
possible to identify products in production and tracing them after
delivery as well. So-called 2D codes have been used for years
in a coding method that meets all user requirements. 2D codes
consist of easy to implement, point-shaped basic elements.
Laser and needle marking technologies are outstanding
regarding durability, marking speed and material independence. Because of mechanical deformation, 2D codes can
still be read using 2D read devices after multiple processing
steps on metallic work pieces for example. 2D codes also
provide the advantage of being able to encode data in more
limited spaces than comparable barcodes or text.
Highlights
• Unique identification of products or product parts –
Direct Part Marking is the key technology for tracing
products
• Part-specific documentation of the production process
• Automation of the manufacturing process
• Verification for product liability cases (e.g. recall actions)
The stationary code reading systems SIMATIC HawkEye 1515,

The stationary code reading systems either have high-performance read devices or a PC-based code reading system.
The devices read various two-dimensional (2D) codes as well as
one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. The PC-based system is a fast,
powerful code reading system for various two-dimensional (2D)
codes, one dimensional (1D) barcodes and OCR (text recognition). Many readers, including the PC-based code reading
system use data matrix print-quality monitoring (verification)
for process control.

and 53T (from the left)
These hand-held reading systems are powerful, high-resolution
read devices for either two-dimensional (2D) data matrix codes
and/or one-dimensional bar codes (1D). The devices can communicate with a host computer using RS232, USB, PS2 and
Bluetooth depending on the selected variant.

The stationary code reading systems either have high-performance read devices or a PC-based code scanning system. With
stand-alone read devices, the data is processed in the scanner
and is sent to a higher-level computer – using one of the existing
communication protocols. The devices read various two-dimensional (2D) codes as well as one-dimensional (1D) barcodes.
The SIMATIC VS130-2 code reading system has been developed especially for reading Data Matrix codes (DMC) ECC200
and various 1D/2D codes in an industrial environment. The
complete package comprises lighting, evaluation unit, sensor
and cables. They are installed and commissioned in doublequick time. They are so easy to operate that no courses are
necessary and the system is "trained" instead of programmed,
so even untrained personnel can use it instantly. Thanks to
standardized interfaces, the Vision Sensors can be flexibly
integrated into the plant automation. For simple conveyor units,
a stand-alone solution is available without an additional PLC.
The PC-based system is a fast, powerful code reading system
for various two-dimensional (2D) codes, one dimensional (1D)
barcodes and OCR (text recognition). Many readers, including
the PC-based code scanning system use Data Matrix print-quality monitoring (verification) for process control.

• C/CS-Mount sensor head (standard resolution 640 x 480
[pixels], high-resolution 1024 x 768 [pixels])
• Evaluation unit.
• Cables.
• CD with mounting/operating instructions
The core of this package is a C/CS-Mount sensor head whose
imaging behavior is determined with a suitable C/CS-Mount
lens. The lens is not included in the package and can be selected under "Accessories". The lighting (incl. cables) must be
selected in accordance with the working distance and are not
included in the "C/CS-Mount complete packages".
The following is additionally required for commissioning
(not included in scope of delivery):
• Ethernet cable (see "Accessories") for connecting the
evaluator to any web client. The web client, e.g. a PC with web
browser installed, is used to adjust the sensor head and the
lighting.
Sensor head
The sensor head is equipped with:
• Extruded aluminium housing with IP65 degree of protection
• CCD chip (640 x 480 square pixels, 1024 x 768 square pixels).
• Lens, permanently installed (possible field of view sizes: 70 x
50 mm, 40 x 30 mm, 20 x 15 mm for 640 x 480 pixels in each
case) or prepared for C/CS-Mount lens (field of view size can
be freely selected for 640 x 480 pixels or 1024 x 768 pixels)
• Interface for digital transmission of image data to the
evaluation unit.
The fixed-focus sensor head offers IP65 degree of protection.
Even when C/CS-Mount lenses are used, IP65 degree of protection can be achieved by use of the optional protective housing.
Evaluation unit
The evaluation unit has:
• Plastic housing designed for cabinet-free mounting (IP40).
• Connections for:
- Supply voltage 24 V DC.
- Lighting
- Sensor head
- Digital inputs and outputs
- PROFIBUS DP.
- Ethernet (DHCP client, DHCP server, fixed IP address).
• Operator prompting on the device (4-line text display, 6 keys).
• Operator prompting through web-based user interface
(HTML, JAVA VM).
• Access protection by means of password.
The following communication services are included:
• PROFINET IO (slave)
• PROFIBUS DP V0 (slave),
• TCP/IP native.
Front lighting
• Designed as ring light, pushed onto sensor head or lens
housing
• Can be dismounted, and secured with different orientation on
the machine
• Housing with degree of protection IP65
• Equipped with various LEDs for different applications:
- Not focussed, for small reading distances (0.08 m to 0.5 m)
- Focussed, for large reading distances (0.5 m to 3 m).
- Infrared LED, for daylight-independent operation
- Red LED for high light intensity
- Operation in flash mode
- Power control for the flash integrated in the light
■ Function
The following functions are available:
• "Training" the vision sensor with reference to a code (DMC)
pattern.
• Coded information can be read out.
• The coded information is compared with a defined character
sequence.
• Measurement of code quality.
• Codes on moving or stationary objects can be processed.
• Output of the decoding results to three control outputs:
- READ: Code is decoded.
- MATCH: Decoded code content exactly matches the
reference.
- N_OK: Code cannot be decoded.
• Output of the decoded DMC information via PROFIBUS-DP,
Ethernet or by means of a converter on the RS232 interface.
• Formatting of the output.
• Integrated DI/Os, for example, for "stand-alone" mode without
additional control.
• Remote control via PROFIBUS-DP, PROFINET IO or DI/O or
Ethernet.
• Remote maintenance is possible through web-based Intranet
or Internet user interface:
- monitoring (live image in read mode).
- diagnostics (fault pattern, log information, etc.).
- system administration (software update, etc.).
- fault analysis for finding the cause of faulty readings.
• Actuation of ring lighting
Mode of operation
When using the SIMATIC VS130-2, the following steps are
necessary:
• Mount the vision sensor and lighting.
• Manually align the camera, check the lighting:
The web server integrated into the device complete with webbased user interface is provided for this purpose. The user interface presents the camera image and the decoded result. In
the setup phase, the sensor head can be aligned with reference to the live image in the user interface. The user interface
executes on any PC with Microsoft Internet Explorer and JAVA
VM installation. When the sensor head is correctly adjusted,
the vision sensor performs the subsequent tasks autonomously:
- optimization of lighting control.

Stationary Code Reading Systems
SIMATIC VS130-2
- "Training" of the image processing parameters by presenting
a code sample. The image processing parameters for the
type of code (carrier material, marking type, dot size, matrix
size, etc.) are stored. No further parameter inputs are
required.
• Evaluation mode (RUN mode) is started using the training
results and a read is started:
Feeding of the Data Matrix Code can be carried out manually
or via a conveyor unit. The Data Matrix Code must be located
within the viewing window at the moment of triggering and is
permitted to move at a maximum speed of 5000 mm/s. Any
angle of rotation within the viewing window of the sensor head
is permitted.
SIMATIC VS130-2 generally has three operating modes that can
also be combined:
• Operating mode 1 "Code decoding":
The character string is transferred to the controller filtered or
unfiltered. Filters can be separators, start position and length
of the character string, or company-specific ID numbers.
• Operating mode 2 "Decoded information is compared with a
character string":
The comparison can refer to the decoded string or to only a
certain part. Comparison of parts is possible using the filter
functions mentioned above.
• Operating mode 3 "Measurement of code quality":
The measurement can be absolute or relative. With the relative
method, the reading system is calibrated by presenting a
reference sample during the training phase. In this mode, the
quality values measured are based on the reference sample.
VS130-2 can, however, also use absolute measurement. In
this case, the calibration step is omitted and a reference
sample is not necessary.
• Depending on the operating mode and the result of the
analysis, one of the digital control outputs READ, MATCH or
N_OK is set.
• The decoded information is output, over PROFIBUS DP,
PROFIBUS IO, Ethernet or a serial interface (converter
required) as preferred and on the device display.

Programming
SIMATIC VS130-2 is not programmed or parameterized like
conventional image processing systems. It configures the lighting and trains the algorithms without the need for user settings
with reference to a code sample or during the first read.
The training can be performed when the conveyor system is
running. Self-parameterization can be started externally using
the operator buttons on the device or remotely from the user
interface. Self-parameterization is also activated during reading
by a failed attempt at reading. Maximum reading reliability is
achieved thanks to independence from user inputs and due to
automatic self-parameterization.
5
Up to 15 different parameter records can be stored in the device.
These can be called up at any time by the user or by an external
controller and can be used for reading code without the need to
repeat the training phase.

SIMATIC HawkEye 40, 40T
■ Overview
SIMATIC HawkEye 40T
The SIMATIC HawkEye 40 and HawkEye 40T are highperformance, high resolution handheld readers for two
dimensional (2D) Data Matrix and one-dimensional barcodes.
They incorporate advanced video image processing and
illumination technology to read symbols on a variety of surfaces.
The SIMATIC HawkEye 40T provides much better reading stability than the HawkEye 40 because it utilizes the Siemens image
processing algorithm. This algorithm is especially effective for
low contrast and/or damaged codes. Therefore the HawkEye
40T is especially suitable for Direct Part Mark (DPM) Codes
which were created by laser markers, dot peen systems or inkjet.
Models are available in the HawkEye 4xx series to transmit data
using wired and wireless communication standards. This guarantees an easy integration to your application.
The HawkEye 40 and 40T products are modular packages that
include the reader, a handle and a cable for interfacing (RS232
models also include a power supply). The wireless versions add
a Bluetooth radio (integrated into the reader) and rechargeable
battery to the package.
The HawkEye 40T is also a Department of Defense Unique
Identifier (UID) string validator. This includes checking the string
content against the appropriate controlling documents. Typical
uses are incoming inspection of UID codes marked by external
vendors. UID to Unique Item Identifier (UII) conversion
functionality allows vendors to use the HawkEye 40T in UID
logistics applications.
SIMATIC HawkEye 40
The SIMATIC HawkEye 40 is a rugged industrial barcode and
Data Matrix reader designed to read medium to high contrast
Data Matrix codes with cell sizes as small as 0.13 mm (0.005").
Barcodes with a bar width as small as 0.12 mm (0.0045") are
also easily read.
■ Benefits
SIMATIC HawkEye 40
• Cost-effective if the code possesses high contrast
(e.g. codes located on paper labels)
SIMATIC HawkEye 40/40T
• Cost-effective and sturdy handheld reader for high to medium
contrast labels
• Automatically switches between barcodes and data matrix
codes. The codes can be oriented in any direction
• Outfitted with a high resolution reader head that can read even
the smallest codes
• High-performance processor for high decoding speed and
very robust reading
• Easy reading of one-dimensional barcodes
• Dynamic illumination and internal settings optimize readability
of codes
• Can communicate through almost all existing standard industrial protocols

■ Application
Industrial and commercial part identification and unit level traceability applications where the part is identified by a Data Matrix
(DM) code or barcode and where a hand held reader is required.
SIMATIC HawkEye 40
For applications that involve paper labels
(i.e. codes offering good contrast)
SIMATIC HawkEye 40T
Typical applications in the following industries:
• Automotive industry:
Identification of various automotive power train components
(e.g. cylinder heads, cylinder blocks, manifolds, etc.)
• Aerospace:
Codes located on gas turbine blades
• Medical devices:
Laser marks on various medical device components and
enclosures
• Electronics:
Laser marks on ESD sensitive hard drive components
■ Integration
The SIMATIC HawkEye40/40T connects to a host system via
RS232, USB, PS2 or Bluetooth. There is no need for special
software. All configurations are done by reading specific data
matrix codes.
Besides the direct transfer of codes to the host system via
RS232, USB, PS2 or Bluetooth, the reader can also be run in
"Batch mode" when no connection to a host system is available.
Codes that are read when the reader is in "Batch Mode" are
saved in a buffer of the reader. Next time the reader has a connection to the host system the codes can be transferred manually or automatically. For "Batch mode" a rechargeable battery is
needed.
When using the code reader with the ruggedized ergonomic
handle with integrated rechargeable battery (included in HawkEye 40T Bluetooth package or separately orderable) it can easily
be recharged using the available accessory "Charge Cradle".
Simply place the handle onto the cradle for automatic battery
charging. The cradle can also hold the Bluetooth modem
accessory, which receives codes from the reader's Bluetooth
radio and transfers them to the host system.
■ Design
Cradle with Bluetooth modem and ergonomic handle
(can also be charged with reader in handle)
Ruggedized Ergonomic handle with integrated battery for wireless and
batch mode
They are hand held imaging readers with a handle. The reader
may be held in the right or left hand. Reading is commanded by
a trigger in front of the handle. The handle is removable.
The HawkEye 40 is the entry level offering and is equipped with
a lightweight and economical pistol grip handle.
The HawkEye 40T with Siemens image processing algorithm,
a higher level offering, is equipped with a ruggedized, ergonomic handle which provides greater drop resilience and a more
comfortable feel.

SIMATIC HawkEye 45, 45T
■ Overview
The SIMATIC HawkEye 45 and SIMATIC HawkEye 45T establish
a new benchmark for portable data terminals and hand held
computers by combining the industry's best imaging technology
with a graphic display and rugged keyboard to create the smallest and lightest full-featured Data Matrix reading terminal on the
market.
The HawkEye 45 and HawkEye 45T instantly read large linear as
well as high density Data Matrix symbols. The units continuously
adapt the resolution, illumination, and image field for the fastest
automatic symbology identification and decoding over the
widest range of symbology types, sizes, recording surfaces and
ambient lighting. The HawkEye 45 and HawkEye 45T achieve
matrix symbol decoding at speeds that are similar to linear bar
code decoding, while preserving battery energy.
SIMATIC HawkEye 45T
The SIMATIC HawkEye 45T provides much better reading stability than the HawkEye 45 because it utilizes the Siemens image
processing algorithm. This algorithm is especially effective for
low contrast and/or damaged codes. Therefore the HawkEye
45T is especially suitable for Direct Part Mark (DPM) Codes
which were created by laser markers, dot peen systems or inkjet.
Both products from the HawkEye 45 series are able to transmit
data using wired and wireless communication standards. This
guarantees an easy integration to your application
The Hawk Eye 45 and 45T products are packages that include
the reader, a handle plus the cable for interfacing and power
supply. In case of the wireless version, it comes additionally with
a rechargeable battery.
The HawkEye 45T is also a Department of Defense Unique
Identifier (UID) string validator. This includes checking the string
content against the appropriate controlling documents. Typical
uses are incoming inspection of UID codes marked by external
vendors. UID to Unique Item Identifier (UII) conversion functionality allows vendors to use the HawkEye 45T in UID logistics
applications.
SIMATIC HawkEye 45
The SIMATIC HawkEye 45 is a rugged industrial barcode and
Data Matrix reader designed to read medium to high contrast
Data Matrix codes with cell sizes as small as 0.005 inches.
Barcodes with a bar width as small as .0045" are also easily
read. The integrated display shows read data and allows for
reader configuration.

ergonomic handle which provides greater drop resilience and a
more comfortable feel.
Optional ruggedized, ergonomic handles with or without integrated batteries are available. Ruggedized, ergonomic handles
with integrated batteries are available in two configurations:
either with a 1950 mAH Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery or with a
3900 mAH Li-Ion battery.
The readers are constructed of a high impact durable plastic.
■ Integration
The SIMATIC HawkEye45/45T connects to a host system via
RS232, USB, PS2 or Bluetooth. There is no need for special software. All configurations are done by reading specific data matrix
codes.
Besides the direct transfer of codes to the host system via
RTS232, USB, PS2 or Bluetooth, the reader can also be run in
"Batch mode" when no connection to a host system is available.
Codes that are read when the reader is in "Batch Mode" are
saved in a buffer of the reader. Next time the reader has a connection to the host system the codes can be transferred manually or automatically. For "Batch mode" a rechargeable battery is
needed.
When using the code reader with the ruggedized ergonomic
handle, that has an integrated rechargeable battery (included in
HawkEye 45T Bluetooth package or separately orderable) it can
easily be charged using the available accessory "Cradle". The
handle is easily be installed on the cradle an will be charged automatically. The cradle can also hold the Bluetooth modem,
which receives the codes and transfers it to the host system.

SIMATIC HawkEye 52T, 53T
■ Overview
■ Application
Industrial and commercial part identification and unit level
traceability applications where the part is identified by a Data
Matrix (DM) code or barcode and where a hand held reader is
required.
Wide range of applications in many industries, e.g.
• Automotive industry: Identification of various automotive
power train components (cylinder heads, cylinder blocks,
manifolds, etc.)
• Aerospace: Dot peen marks on gas turbine blades
• Medical devices: Laser marks on various medical device
components and enclosures
• Electronics: Laser marks on various electronic components or
assemblies
■ Design
The SIMATIC HawkEye 52T and SIMATIC HawkEye 53T are highperformance, high resolution readers/scanners for low-contrast
two dimensional (2D) Data Matrix direct part marks (DPMs) and
large one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. They combine an advanced video image processing illumination engine for reading
2D symbols with a laser scan engine for 1D barcodes into a single hand-held device.
The hand-held readers feature the LytePypeTM illumination
system that delivers superior performance for DPM reading at
high read rates. The HawkEye 52T/53T are contact or near
contact readers, and the LytePype guides the operator to position the reader for a simple point-and-shoot operation. The user
can easily switch between DPM reading and barcode reading
by double clicking the trigger or pressing the button on the back
of the unit.
The hand-held readers provide a comprehensive set of programmable features that can be configured to address any data
collection application. Setup is simple and performed via the
Graphical User Interface PC application program through the
serial interface port or by reading special Data Matrix codes
supplied with the unit.
■ Benefits
• Specialized on decoding hard to read low contrast Data Matrix
codes made by dot peen, laser or ink-jet on a variety of
surfaces
• Reading of a broad variety of direct part marks without any
parameter adjustments
• LytePype illumination system enhances readability of
low-contrast marks
• High-resolution imager for reading very small codes
• High-performance processor for high decoding speed and
very robust reading
• Easy reading of one-dimensional barcodes with a laser
scanner
They are hand-held readers/scanners with an ergonomic pistol
grip design. The device may be held in the right or left hand.
Reading is commanded by a trigger in front of the pistol grip.
The user can easily switch between DPM reading and barcode
scanning by double clicking the trigger or pressing the selector
button on the back of the unit. The readers are constructed of a
high impact durable plastic.
The data from the reader is passed through an attached 8 foot
(2.5 m) coiled cable which is terminated at a 9 pin female D shell
connector. The read results are passed in RS232 serial form to
any connected device capable of receiving serial data.
Power supply and LytePype options are not included as part of
HawkEye 52T or 53T systems and must be ordered as individual
line items.

■ Overview
Marking a product is normally done very early on in the
production process so that all following steps can be controlled
using the product identity.
By using verification systems, the readability of marks is guaranteed throughout the entire production process regardless of any
possible contamination or when using different read devices.
Moreover, the marking can continue to be read after the production process throughout the life span of the product.
HawkEye Direct Part Mark Verifier
SIMATIC HawkEye Direct Part Mark (DPM) Verifier guarantees
the quality of data matrix codes on directly marked parts. This is
a software option for the cameras of the SIMATIC HawkEye
1500 series. Siemens Direct Part Marking (DPM) technology is
utilized here. Users of HawkEye 1500 cameras can perform a
100% inspection for DPMs with this device and the marking
system can be set correctly before illegible markings are made
on the parts.
DMX Verifier+
SIMATIC DMx Verifier+ is a data matrix verification system that
supplies data on the code quality. It is a quality assurance
program with the target of ensuring that data matrix codes can
be read correctly for a number of materials and marking
procedures.
The DMx Verifier+ is a software package that is used together
with half-length PCI modules. The PCI module is connected with
external cameras via cables. Up to 4 cameras can be connected
with a PCI card. High-performance testing systems are possible
with this system. By adding an optional, external I/O module, the
functionality can be expanded and the system can be integrated
into an automated system.

SIMATIC HawkEye Direct Part Mark Verifier
■ Overview
■ Design
Direct Part Mark Verification is offered as special software option
for all SIMATIC HawkEye 1500 series cameras.
The optimum configuration for a direct part mark verifier is typically different than that for a reader. Direct part mark verification
requires higher resolution than reading (more pixels per Data
Matrix symbol cell) and also requires that the axis of the camera
is perpendicular to the mark surface.
■ Function
Direct part mark quality problems that can be detected by the
Direct Part Mark Verification technology include:
• Improper or inconsistent mark dot/cell size
• Improper or inconsistent mark dot/cell location
• Improper overall mark geometry
• Mark or part surface damage
• Very low or inconsistent mark contrast
To ensure the quality of Data Matrix codes marked directly on
parts, Siemens offers the SIMATIC HawkEye DPM Verifier. This
verifier consists of a software option for the SIMATIC HawkEye
1500 Series cameras. It uses the Siemens Direct Part Marking
(DPM) technology. Using this system, manufacturers can now
continuously monitor and adjust their marking system before it
begins producing unreadable marks.
While Data Matrix readers or verifiers from other vendors evaluate marks using a specification known as the AIM standard (ISO
16022), originally developed for labels, the HawkEye DPM Verifier uses a set of quality measures developed by Siemens specifically for direct part marks. This helps prevent false alarms or
incorrect decisions, since direct part marks that receive a perfect A' according to the AIM spec may really be marginal or even
unacceptable, whereas marks that receive a very low or failing
AIM grade may be perfectly readable and need not indicate any
problems or require any changes in the marking process.

■ Application
The SIMATIC MV220 image processing sensor is a complete image processing system for automatic inspection of color objects.
It completes the product portfolio in the low-end image processing segment and high-end segment of conventional sensors.
Due to its high performance and simplicity, simple color
inspection tasks are accessible that are too complex for the
other image processing systems and which exclude themselves
on grounds of cost.
The module is used in:
• Manufacturing and assembly systems for automobile industry
suppliers and electronics;
• Checking the presence of colored components
The SIMATIC MV220 image processing sensor combines all the
components required for the test in a compact housing:
• Rugged plastic/metal housing with IP65 degree of protection
• Digital camera for evaluation of color pictures:
- CMOS chip
- Resolution of 640 x 480 pixels
• Continuously adjustable lens:
- Variable image field from 40 x 30 mm to 200 x 150 mm
- Variable object distance from 50 mm to 250 mm
• Integrated white lighting
• Laser-based alignment tool
• Operator controls and displays:
- Input keys
- Display
- LEDs
• M12 plug and socket with connections for:
- Power supply
- Digital inputs and outputs
• M4 fastening holes for mechanical fixing system for industrial
sensors
■ Function
The following functions are available:
• Teaching in the models using one or more good parts
• Inspecting an object using the features extracted during
teach-in
• Inspection can be performed on stationary and moving
objects
• Inspection of the object supplies a good/bad statement in
accordance with the set threshold values
• The results are output on two digital outputs:
- OK: Compliance of the object with the saved model is better
or equal to the set threshold value
- N_OK: Compliance of the object with the saved model is
worse than or equal to the set threshold value
Mode of operation
Manual alignment of the sensor is supported by a laser-based
alignment tool. Two laser beams project two light spots into the
image window of the sensor.
The sensor is calibrated to the ambient conditions, menu-driven,
based on the templates supplied.
The inspection tasks are taught by presenting one or more good
objects. The result of teach-in can be saved in one of 16 data
records. The learned inspection task can then be tested
immediately in test mode.
To start the evaluation mode you have to select a trained object
data record and switch to "RUN" mode. The sensor starts the
evaluation after triggering.
Depending on the trained threshold values and the actual
evaluated values, the result is output to the OK or N_OK digital
outputs for a good or bad result respectively.
The inspection task can be changed by selecting a different
data record (model) in "RUN" mode.
Any sensor faults or errors in operating the sensor are reported
in the diagnostics. Evaluation mode continues or is terminated
depending on the type of error.

rugged and reliable inspection.
It completes the product portfolio in the low-end image processing segment and high-end segment of conventional sensors.
Its performance capability, simplicity and in particular the ruggedness of the test procedures can be used for inspection tasks
that are too complex for other image processing systems and
that must be disregarded for cost reasons.
5/54
Siemens FS 10 · 2008
The SIMATIC MV230 height profile sensor combines all the
components required for the test in a compact enclosure:
• Rugged plastic/metal enclosure with degree of protection
IP65
• Digital camera:
- CMOS chip
- Resolution of 750 x 480 pixels
• Integrated laser line of up to 75 mm in length
• Operator controls and displays:
- Input keys
- Display
- LED displays
• M12 plug and socket with connections for:
- Power supply
- Digital inputs and outputs
• M4 fastening holes for mechanical fixing system for industrial
sensors
■ Function
The following functions are available:
• Training of models based on a Good object
• Inspecting an object using the features extracted during
teach-in
• Inspection of the object supplies a good/bad statement in
accordance with the set threshold values (Q-LIMIT)
• Inspection results are output on two digital outputs:
- OK: Compatibility of the object with the saved model is
greater than or equal to the set threshold value
- N_OK: Compatibility of the object with the saved model is
less than the set threshold value
Operating principle
Manual alignment of the sensor is supported by the visible laser
line.
The inspection task is trained by presenting a Good object.
The object to be inspected or the object area to be inspected is
positioned under the laser line.
For smaller objects, the length of the laser line range that can be
evaluated can be reduced. The teach-in result is saved under
one of 16 data records (model number).
The learned inspection task can then be tested immediately in
test mode.
To start the evaluation mode you have to select a trained object
data record and switch to "RUN" mode.
After triggering, the sensor starts evaluation.
On the basis of the learned threshold values and the actual
values of the evaluation, a result is output on the OK digital
outputs (Good) or N_OK (Bad).
The inspection task can be changed by selecting a different
data record (model) in "RUN" mode.
Any sensor faults or errors in operating the sensor are reported
in the diagnostics. Evaluation mode continues or is terminated
depending on the type of error.

SIMATIC VS110
■ Overview
from the evaluation unit directly to any PC during adjustment of
the sensor head and the lighting.
Sensor head
The sensor head is equipped with:
• CCD chip (640 x 480 quadratic pixels)
• Built-in, fixed lens system (two different variants are available)
• Interface for digital transmission of image data to the analyzer
unit
The housing is constructed from extruded aluminium to the IP 65
degree of protection.
Evaluation unit
• Vision sensor for the visual inspection of small parts
• The solution for monitoring objects in the infeed
• For monitoring object type, position and lack of damage or
correct processing
• Easy commissioning with special teach-in; no time-consuming
programming necessary
■ Application
The Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS110 visually monitors small parts
in a materials infeed for the correct shape and position and indicates faulty objects by means of a BAD signal. Typical objects
that can be inspected are:
• Bolt
• Screws
• Injection molded components
• Small metal components
• Chocolates
The following features are monitored:
• Object type:
Is the object of the right type?
• Infeed alignment:
Two different positions can be taught and analyzed
• Lack of damage or correct processing
The visual inspection is performed by transmitted light, i.e.
based on the shadow image of the object.
The following types of equipment can be used as the conveyor
system for the objects:
• Vibrating conveyors (spiral or linear conveyors)
• Conveyor belts
• Workpiece holder carousels
• Gripper units (handling systems, robots)
■ Design
To use the SIMATIC VS110 vision sensor, the following components are required that are included in the scope of supply:
• Sensor head
• Backlighting, specially designed for the application and the
sensor head
• Evaluation unit
• Cables
The package is completed with a CD containing setup software
and assembly and operating instructions.
The only additional item of equipment that is required for startup
is a serial cable which enables a live image to be transferred
The evaluation unit has connections for:
• Supply voltage 24 V DC
• Lighting
• Sensor head
• Digital inputs and outputs
• RS232 serial interface.
The device is equipped with:
• 4-line text display for operator prompting
• 6 keys for operation of unit
The analysis is carried out by a powerful digital signal processor.
The housing is made of plastic and is designed for installation
outside the control cabinet.
Backlighting
The metal housing of the backlighting unit can be fixed to the
machine in different positions. An infrared LED is used to generate the light and it is operated in flash mode. The energy control
for the flash is integrated in the lamp.
■ Function
• Continuous or externally triggered frame transfer
• Automatic activation of the flash included in the scope of
supply
• The currently observed object is compared with the taught
reference part with regard to identical/similar shape
• Intelligent teaching of the respective object instead of
programming the analysis procedure
• Output of the respective test results to three quality outputs
OK_A (correct object in taught position A), OK_B (correct object in taught position B) and NOK (wrong or faulty object). The
quality outputs are ideally suited to the direct control of pneumatic valves and can be adjusted with regard to pulse duration and travel offset
• Analysis can be finely adjusted with regard to identical/similar
shape
• Automatic determination of the analysis threshold ("Q limit") is
possible
• Permissible "height supplement" ("Y limit") of the object is
adjustable (variation of the object in the recorded image due
to vibration of the conveyor)
• Transfer of a practically live image to the PC using setup
software to support correct alignment of the equipment during
assembly/startup
Operating principle
Adjustment
After the SIMATIC VS110 has been installed, it is easily checked
for correct alignment using the setup software that is included in
the scope of supply. This software can be installed on any PC,
and delivers live images from the sensor head during the setup
phase.

Training
When the sensor head and lighting have been correctly aligned,
the user can start to teach the objects. During the teaching
phase, the VS110 learns to recognize the contours and
preferred positions as a result of repeated observation of the
objects to be monitored in the application environment; then it
automatically determines the analysis threshold for differentiating between GOOD and BAD objects. Between 0 and 999
objects can be used for this purpose.

This phase comprises three or four steps. First, with the
conveyor system running, the "background" is determined.
Once the fixed equipment has been automatically eliminated
from the subsequent analyses by observation of the conveyor
system (during the conveying of objects, wherever possible),
the SIMATIC VS110 can be shown and taught a GOOD part in
its preferred position. If necessary, a GOOD object can then
be taught in a second preferred position. The teaching phase
is then completed with automatic determination of the analysis
threshold for deciding between GOOD and BAD objects.
Between 0 and 999 objects can be used for this purpose.
• Vibrations
1 g (60 …500 Hz)
• Shock
70 g (6 ms, 3 shocks)
Analysis mode
In analysis mode, the contour area of each object is compared
with that of the stored taught object. During comparison of the
contours of the actual and taught object, local areas that differ
are determined and summed. The total differential area as a ratio
of the total area of the taught object results in the decision as to
whether the actual object corresponds to the taught object or
not. The decision threshold used here can be set. In the case of
a correct object, the quality output OK_A is activated, and in the
case of a defective or wrong object NOK is output.
The equipment can also be used to detect the position of an
object. When the current object corresponds with the taught
object in preferred position A, output OK_A is activated and
when the current object corresponds to the taught object in
preferred position B, output OK_B is activated. When the current
object does not correspond to either position, NOK is output.
Each training operation can take place with the conveyor unit
running, and can be initiated by the input keys on the unit or by
remote control.
Up to 15 different objects in two possible positions can be stored
in the unit power fail-proof from where they can be called up at
any time by the user or, if required, from an external PLC.

■ Function
• Training the object test parameters using one or more good
objects
• Testing an object and/or pattern with the features taken from
the training
• Testing can be performed on stationary and moving objects
• Checking for a match with the reference provides a good/
poor indication after comparison with set-value criteria
• Test results output to three control outputs:
- OK:
trained object and/or pattern found based on features;
degree of match greater than set value
- N_OK:
trained object and/or pattern NOT found based on features;
degree of match NOT greater than set value
• Position information output via PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET IO,
Ethernet or with converter to RS 232 interface
• Integrated DI/O enables "stand-alone" operation without additional controller.
• Remote control via PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET IO, DI/O or
Ethernet
• Remote maintenance via web-based operator interface Intranet or Internet:
- monitoring (live image in read mode)
- diagnostics (fault image, log information, ...)
- system administration (software update, ...)
- error analysis for troubleshooting for faulty readings
• Actuation of ring lighting
- optimization of lighting control.
- "Training" the image processing parameters by applying a
reference object
- the result of the training is stored under one of the 64 data
records
• Starting the evaluation operation requires loading a trained
object record and changing into the "RUN" operating mode.
The VS120 starts the evaluation after triggering.
• Depending on the trained set values and the actual values
of the evaluation, one of the digital control outputs OK
(good result) or N_OK (poor result) is set.
The position information is output via the PROFIBUS DP,
PROFINET IO or Ethernet interface.
Programming
SIMATIC VS120 is not programmed and parameters are not defined as on standard image processing systems. It is trained for
its special task, finding and testing a special object. The SIMATIC VS120 is shown a good object and the device is "trained"
to this object.
The training procedure can be performed while a conveyor system is running.
Up to 64 different data records can be stored in the device and
can be called up at any time by the operator or can also be
called up through an external controller.

Accessories for VS100 series
■ Overview
■ Benefits
The above accessories enable VS100 projects to be implemented quickly and reliably with degree of protection IP65 for
all components for a working area of 80 mm to 3000 mm.
■ Function
IP65 protective lens hood / LED ring lamps
The IP65 protective lens hood must be used to achieve degree
of protection IP65 when the C/CS mount sensor head is used.
The LED ring lamps listed here are also designed to IP65 and
can be assembled and removed with the protective lens housing
but are not mechanically connected to it.
Protective housing for evaluation units
The following accessory parts are suitable for the devices VS120
and VS130-2:
• LED ring lamps, metal, IP65, suitable for mounting in protective
lens housing:
The protective housing for VS100 evaluation units allows the
evaluation unit to be installed to degree of protection IP65. The
protective housing offers sufficient space for all components of
a stand-alone VS100 application: Evaluation unit, power supply,
lamp multiplexer, interface converter, Ethernet switch. Accordingly, the cable glands are provided for all cables of the maximum configuration. The cable glands are dimensioned for the
plugs of the VS100 cable. The protective housing can therefore
be retrofitted in existing applications and additional components
(Ethernet switches, additional ring lamps, etc.) can be installed
later.

- IP65 protective housing for analysis unit
• Lamp multiplexer
• Standard rail mounting
Supports
The lamp multiplexer must be used when several ring lamps are
to be connected to one VS100 processing unit. The cables are
included in the scope of delivery that are required for connecting
the processing unit through the lamp interface and the interface
for digital inputs/outputs with the multiplexer. The multiplexer enables up to 4 VS100 lamps (LED ring lamp in metal, LED ring
lamp in plastic, VS110 wide area lamp) using the standard
cable. The connected lamps can be controlled individually and
used for illuminating the image field. The lamp multiplexer is
activated via digital inputs/outputs and supported by Version 2.0
of VS130-2 only.
Standard rail mounting
The standard rail bracket is screwed to the rear panel of a VS100
processing unit housing which enables the processing unit
housing to be mounted on a standard rail. The standard rail
adapter is also required when the processing unit is installed
in the protective housing.

■ Design
The SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T series are intelligent machine vision cameras implemented in a rugged cast alloy casing that will
resist damage in tough environments. The camera case, which
is an in-line design incorporates CCD sensor and a processor
that handles all aspects of image analysis, control and data
communication. The camera is offered with an IP 67 lens cover
and incorporates industry standard M12 connectors for power,
communication (Ethernet) and digital IO. The enclosure can be
mounted on any of four sides.
The SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T is offered with either a standard
(VGA) or high (XGA) resolution progressive scan CCD sensor. At
full frame imaging the sensor operated at double the speed of
RS-170/CCIR cameras. Sensor exposure can be controlled over
the range of 64 μs to 50 ms. The standard resolution VGA imager
can operate in full frame mode at a rate of up to 60 frames per
second. Half frame and quarter frame partial scan modes and
binned (full frame half resolution) modes are available under
software control that can generate frame rates up to 240 frames
per second. This imaging capability is combined with a pipeline
processing architecture to allow very high part per second rates
to be achieved for certain applications. The processor hardware
architecture employs a high performance RISC CPU with a built
in floating point unit (FPU) and dynamic and static (flash) memory. The intelligent camera hardware runs a multitasking kernel.
The SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T is a complete self contained machine vision system. Direct control is provided by 8 on-board optically isolated IO points consisting of one dedicated trigger input, three dedicated outputs and four general purpose IO points
that can be configured as either input or output. An additional
dedicated connector provides a strobe signal that is synchronized with image acquisition and power for available direct connect lighting.

• Selecting from among various inspection programs is possible
Visualization functions
HMI Controls for VS720 for centralized operation and monitoring
using SIMATIC HMI of one or more VS720 intelligent cameras
during runtime
VS Link and VS Link PROFIBUS are used for the central visualization of live, warning and fault images without the PC and as a
gateway between Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS DP.
• Color or monochrome monitors can be used
• Resolutions of 640 x 480, 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024 are
supported
• Industrial Ethernet (10/100 Mbaud) and PROFIBUS DP

Siemens FS 10 · 2008
• Slave visualizes images from several intelligent cameras in
an Ethernet network
• Simultaneous display of several images and result tables
• Freezing of images for observation by operator
• Facility for user-specific division of screen
Mode of operation of the intelligent camera
• Direct evaluation:
The recorded images are processed by the fast CPU using
the selected inspection program.
• High cycle rates:
Image exposure is performed while the previously exposed
image is being processed in parallel.
• Communication through integral interfaces (configuration,
transfer of images, productive data for passing on of result,
trigger for image recording)
• Boot capability:
When the external voltage is applied, image processing can
be activated immediately because the inspection program
is memory resident.
• Script programming:
For controlling the sequence of the inspection task, performing several inspections on the same image, carrying out mathematical calculations with values from image evaluation, communicating with external devices
• Digital I/O signals:
Available for controlling the recording of the image as well as
for forming the result for controlling the process

Introduction
Vision systems –
Quality control at high speed
The need to accommodate faster production rates, identify finer
defects, and inspect complex objects or assemblies from multiple points of view is pushing the limits of today's machine vision
systems.
SIMATIC Visionscape line is uniquely situated to address high
speed applications requiring multiple cameras or extensive
vision processing.
An extensive collection of intelligent tools coupled with a common application development and deployment environment
ship with each board, significantly decreasing the amount of
time it takes to get your application up and running (see SIMATIC
Visionscape software).
Whether you need to deliver a stand alone system or one integrated into a machine controller, the ability to embed one or
more SIMATIC Visionscape boards into an industrial computer
allows the flexibility and extensibility you're looking for.
The SIMATIC Visionscape family of products features a scalable
line of high performance vision processors to cost-effective
frame grabbers. A unique advantage of this product line is that
all of the boards are configured using the same development
and deployment environment as well as the same extensive set
of intelligent tools. The end result is that an application configured for one board can run unmodified and without recompilation on any other board, thus allowing users to easily scale as
well as select the right price/performance point for each application.
For further information on the intelligent camera, please see Intelligent cameras / SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T on page 5/72.

5/94
Siemens FS 10 · 2008
SIMATIC Visionscape machine vision systems, including the
Visionscape 0xxx frame grabbers, are used in all industries in
which industrial machine vision is applied:
• Automotive assembly (especially in final assembly, components and body shop)
• Packaging inspection in pharmaceutical, food & beverage,
luxury goods industries
• Electronic and Electrical assembly
• Semiconductor packaging (backend production)
• Medical device inspection
• General manufacturing assembly and inspection
Visionscape 0xxx frame grabbers are particularly applicable in
systems where the host CPU can be dedicated to the machine
vision application.
■ Design
Each machine vision system with Visionscape frame grabbers
consists of a host PC (configurations with SIMATIC PCs are recommended as they are completely tested), the SIMATIC Visionscape Software, one PCI industrial machine vision frame grabber board, and at least one camera connected and powered via
cable. Normally included are I/O connections via internal I/O
board – for configuration with up to two cameras – or external I/O
board – for up to four cameras.
The PCI frame grabber boards (for 0800 optional Universal PCI)
operate under the Windows 2000 or Windows XP. All frame grabbers depend on the host PC's memory and CPU to store and
process images.
All Visionscape boards have on-board discrete I/O connections
for camera triggering, strobe control, and up to 16 programmable bi-directional I/O. To leverage these I/Os additional I/O accessories are required (read more in section “Integration”).
Visionscape frame grabber boards can be connected to a standard 5 V PCI 2.2 compliant bus expansion slot. They require a
half-length slot.
The 0800 board in particular can be also connected to a 3.3 V/64
bit Universal PCI 2.3 compliant bus. The usage of the Universal
PCI bus allows this board a faster data transfer to the host PC's
CPU and memory.
Included in packages
Every Visionscape 0xxx frame grabber package contains the following components:
• Frame grabber board
• Connection kit for external I/O board
Consists of 50-pin ribbon cable and I/O filter board with bezel
• Internal power cables (one standard, one for specific SIMATIC
PCs) to connect board to PC internal 12 V power supply;
required to supply 12 V power to analog cameras

where the host CPU can be dedicated to the machine vision application.
One Visionscape board can be configured to simultaneously acquire images from up to four cameras (only one camera at 0800
board). A PC can support one frame grabber board.
Board selection guide
Specify the Visionscape 0300 Analog Frame Grabber for costsensitive applications that can be solved with up to four standard resolution (VGA, CCIR) interlaced cameras
Specify the Visionscape 0740 Analog Frame Grabber for applications
• that require up to four progressive scan analog cameras
• that require higher resolutions or higher speeds
• that require simultaneous image acquisition on up to four
channels
• that require different camera resolutions
Specify the Visionscape 0800 Digital CameraLink Frame Grabber for applications
• that require high-speed and/or high-resolution area scan cameras
• that require line scan cameras
■ Integration
Integration in SIMATIC PCs
The SIMATIC Visionscape Software and boards is and will be
completely tested on the existing SIMATIC PCs. As the offering
of SIMATIC PCs is constantly extended and updated with newer
technology we have to test the SIMATIC Visionscape product
line on these new PCs as well.
Visionscape can also run on other vendors' PCs. But only configurations with SIMATIC PCs are extensively tested and therefore ensured to run without problems.
Minimum host PC requirement
• Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz or higher with a minimum of 256 MB memory
• VGA display adapter – 64K or true color
• Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 or Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or
later
• One open +5 V/32 bit PCI 2.2 compliant expansion slot (half
length)
Important note for 0800 board: The additional connector fingers of the board's Universal PCI extend beyond PCI standard
connector. This does not affect the board's functioning.
• Alternative for 0800 board only: One open +3.3 V/64 bit Universal PCI 2.3 compliant expansion slot (half length) – The usage of the Universal PCI bus allows the 0800 board a faster
data transfer to the host PC's CPU and memory.
• If I/O is required: one open slot for internal I/O board or I/O filter board bezel for external I/O board
Supported cameras
When used with a PC-based board the software can be configured to interface with all kind of machine vision cameras, which
can range from unsophisticated interlaced analog cameras with
standard resolution, over progressive scan analog cameras with
higher resolution, up to high resolution, high-speed digital CameraLink cameras and even line scan cameras.
This flexibility is implemented by the choice of Visionscape
board (see “Vision systems”) and a camera specific definition
file, called CamDef file. Thus, almost all analog cameras and
CameraLink Base level cameras can be connected to a Visionscape system.
As Visionscape cannot be tested with all existing cameras there
is only a standard set of cameras with which Visionscape was
extensively tested that can cover most of the applications. The
tested set of cameras per board is described in the readme file
on the SIMATIC Visionscape Software CD (see “Further information”) as well is the board hardware documentation.
But in cases where other cameras are required already existing
camera definition files can be used or new ones can be created.
Those new camera definition files will be created and tested by
Siemens, they cannot be created by the customer itself.
If you need a new camera supported please contact your local
Vision Promoter or Vision Specialist. We will require in most
cases the camera and its documentation to be sent to us. A service fee might apply.
I/O Connections
All Visionscape boards have on-board discrete I/O connections
for camera triggering, strobe control, and up to 16 programmable bi-directional I/O.
These I/O points are distributed via a 50-pin connector on the
board that requires additional accessories depending on the
specific application requirements:
For applications with up to two cameras and no analog output requirements:
• PC-internal 10-point I/O and strobe control board
(6GF3080-0VS10-0SM0)
Contains 2 trigger inputs, 2 strobe outputs, 4 digital output &
2 digital input channels
Mounts into an open PC bezel slot (without connection to PCI
bus) – thus requires an additional open PC slot
For applications with up to four cameras and/or an analog output
requirement:
The readme file on the SIMATIC Visionscape Software CD (see
“Further Information”) contains always the latest supported SIMATIC PCs as well as the recommended configurations.

I/O board connects via ribbon cable (included in I/O board
package) to I/O filter board bezel (included in board packages) that connects to 50-pin vision board I/O connector; I/O
filter board bezel requires an additional open PC bezel slot
(without connection to PCI bus)
• Multiple selectable opto-isolated input and output modules to
plug into the 16 open slots of external I/O board
for more information see product area “Accessories for SIMATIC Visionscape”
Line scan applications
Line scan applications can only be done with the 0800 CameraLink frame grabber and specific line scan cameras. The line
scan image acquisition of these cameras needs to be synchronized with a movement encoder in the factory process.
The 0800 board supports such an encoder input with an onboard connector. To bring this connector to the PC outside an
additional cable with bezel is required. This encoder cable with
bezel is available as separate accessory with the order no.

SIMATIC Visionscape 4000 Vision Processors
■ Overview
■ Application
SIMATIC Visionscape software and boards are designed to be
used in industrial machine vision and traceability applications by
end users, systems integrators machine builders and original
equipment manufacturers.
SIMATIC Visionscape machine vision systems, including the
Visionscape 4000 vision processors, are used in all industries in
which industrial machine vision is applied:
• Automotive assembly (especially in final assembly, components and body shop)
• Packaging inspection in pharmaceutical, food & beverage,
luxury goods industries
• Electronic and Electrical assembly
• Semiconductor packaging (backend production)
• Medical device inspection
• General manufacturing assembly and inspection
The SIMATIC Visionscape 4000 series vision processors are
complete high-performance vision systems in a single PCI slot.
These boards feature an on-board CPU, vision acceleration
ASIC, memory, and VGA display output. Therefore, they completely off-load all vision processing operations from the host PC
CPU.
These boards also feature on-board dedicated digital I/O and
support a variety of machine vision cameras through camera interface daughter cards. An on-board real-time multitasking operating system assures deterministic operation. System configurations can be scaled up without affecting performance or
footprint by simply adding more processor boards in the same
PCI backplane.
Camera Interface Options
SIMATIC Visionscape 4300 Analog Vision Processor:
• Interlaced analog cameras only
• Four multiplexed channels
SIMATIC Visionscape 4740 Analog Vision Processor:
• Progressive scan & interlaced analog cameras
• Four independent channels
• High resolution up to 2 K x 2 K pixels
• Supports special features such as electronic shuttered, frame
reset, or partial scan cameras
■ Benefits
5
In addition to the benefits common to all SIMATIC Visionscape
boards (see SIMATIC Visionscape 0xxx Frame Grabbers, section “Benefits” on page 5/94) the Visionscape 4000 vision processors have the following additional advantages:
• The Visionscape 4000 vision processor boards can be programmed to not require any host CPU resource. As all 4000
boards contain also there own VGA graphics output not even
the host PC's graphics card is used.
• The real time operating system provides deterministic operation. A deterministic operation is one that, given the same input, always produces the same output.
• Systems can be configured with multiple boards (up to six) to
implement vision systems with very high data throughput.
5/100
Siemens FS 10 · 2008
For systems where the PC is largely dedicated to another process such as cell control or HMI display the 4000 series Vision
Engine should be specified. 4000 boards operate completely independent of the host PC and can be deployed in even in massively parallel configuration with up to six boards in a suitable
PC.
■ Design
Each machine vision system with Visionscape 4000 vision processors consists of a host PC (configurations with SIMATIC PCs
are recommended as they are completely tested), the SIMATIC
Visionscape Software, one or more PCI vision processor boards,
and cameras connected and powered via cable. Normally included are I/O connections via internal I/O board – for configuration with up to two cameras per board – or external I/O board
– for up to four cameras per board.
The 4000 vision processors operate under the Windows 2000
and Windows XP. All 4000 boards include an on-board RISC
CPU, a vision acceleration ASIC, their own memory, and a VGA
display output that remove all image processing and analysis
load from the host CPU as well as allow even a complete graphics output from the board directly without using the host PC's
graphics card. This architecture allows these boards to run as a
complete independent vision processing system that uses the
host PC only for power supply (via the PCI bus) and to communicated with other processes that run on the host PC, like SoftPLCs, HMI systems, databases, and others.
All Visionscape boards have on-board discrete I/O connections
for camera triggering, strobe control, and up to 16 programmable bi-directional I/O. To leverage these I/Os additional I/O accessories are required (read more in section “Integration”).
Visionscape 4000 boards mount into a standard 5V PCI 2.2 compliant bus expansion slot. They require a half-length slot (this
should be considered when selecting suitable PCs).
Included in packages
Every Visionscape 4000 vision processor package contains the
following components:
• Vision processor board
• Connection kit for external I/O board
Consists of 50-pin ribbon cable and I/O filter board with bezel
• Internal power cable to connect board to PC internal 12V
power supply; required to supply 12V power to analog cameras
• Camera splitter adapter for up to four cameras
• SIMATIC Visionscape Software 2.5 and complete documentation on CD

Not included in packages
Not included in board packages but in most cases required are
the following components:
• Any I/O components, like internal or external I/O board
These components are available as accessories (see section
“Integration” and product area “Accessories for SIMATIC Visionscape”)
• Any cameras or camera cables
The most common cameras (together with the required cables) are available as accessories (see section “Integration /
Supported cameras”)
• Any PCs
The SIMATIC Visionscape product line is tested on current SIMATIC PCs (see section “Integration” below)
Also not included and required only for specific applications are
the following components:
• Dongle to enable Intellifind object locator tool
(USB dongle: 6GF3080-0VS00-2KF0; Parallel dongle:
6GF3080-0VS00-1KF0)
Required for applications that take use of the Intellifind object
locator tool (see product area “Accessories for SIMATIC Visionscape”)
■ Function
The Visionscape software and board family provide all the elements required to acquire and process images in an industrial
environment.
Visionscape vision processor boards should be specified for
systems
• where the host CPU needs to perform other intensive tasks
than just vision processing
• where multiple boards are required to process data in parallel.
4000 boards in one PC can be connected to each other to synchronize image acquisition and processing, and share results.
One Visionscape board can be configured to simultaneously acquire images from up to four cameras.
One PC can contain as many 4000 boards as free PCI slots are
available (have in mind the required free slots for I/O filter board
bezel) and as the power supply of the PC can support.
Board selection guide
Specify the Visionscape 4300 Analog Vision Processor for costsensitive applications that can be solved with up to four standard resolution (VGA, CCIR) interlaced cameras
Specify the Visionscape 4740 Analog Vision Processor for applications
• that require up to four progressive scan analog cameras
• that require higher resolutions or higher speeds
• that require simultaneous image acquisition on up to four
channels
• that require different camera resolutions
■ Integration
Visionscape systems are typically configured as stand alone, integrated or embedded systems in an industrial environment. Interfaces will typically consist of discrete IO connections to trigger sensors, lighting controllers, and to PLCs or reject actuators.
The system can be configured to actuate on receipt of a serial
command received by means of a RS232 or a Ethernet TCP/IP
connection.
Results data can be delivered by means of RS232 serial or Ethernet TCP/IP connection. The Visionscape system can be configured as a server or client on a TCP/IP network.
• VGA display adapter – 64 K or true color (only if host PC display is required)
• Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 or Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or
later
• One open +5 V/32 bit PCI 2.2 compliant expansion slot (full
length)
• If I/O is required: one open slot for internal I/O board or bulkhead connector for external I/O board
Integration in SIMATIC PCs
For usage in industrial environment PC the SIMATIC PCs are recommended.
• Properly tested Box PC configuration with up to two Visionscape boards and their attached I/O connection boards: SIMATIC Box PC 840
• Properly tested Panel PC configuration with up to two Visionscape boards and their attached I/O connection boards: SIMATIC Panel PC 877
• Properly tested Rack PC configuration with up to three Visionscape boards and their attached I/O connection boards: SIMATIC Rack PC IL 43

I/O Connections
All Visionscape boards have on-board discrete I/O connections
for camera triggering, strobe control, and up to 16 programmable bi-directional I/O.
These I/O points are distributed via a 50-pin connector on the
board that requires additional accessories depending on the
specific application requirements:
For applications with up to two cameras and no analog output requirements:
• PC-internal 10-point I/O and strobe control board
(6GF3080-0VS10-0SM0)
Contains 2 trigger inputs, 2 strobe outputs, 4 digital output &
2 digital input channels
Mounts into an open PC bezel slot (without connection to PCI
bus) – thus requires an additional open PC slot
For applications with up to four cameras and/or an analog output
requirement:
• External 16-point I/O and strobe control board kit
(6GF3080-0VS24-0SM0)
Supports 4 dedicated channels for trigger input and strobe
output
Contains 16 slots for selectable opto-isolated I/O modules,
also supports 8 channels of analog output
I/O board connects via ribbon cable (included in I/O board
package) to I/O filter board bezel (included in board packages) that connects to 50-pin vision board I/O connector; I/O
filter board bezel requires an additional open PC bezel slot
(without connection to PCI bus)
• Multiple selectable opto-isolated input and output modules to
plug into the 16 open slots of external I/O board
for more information see product area “Accessories for
SIMATIC Visionscape”
Inter-connection between Visionscape 4000 boards

Supported by
4300
For high-speed, multiple camera applications multiple Visionscape 4000 boards can be plugged in one PC. In those cases
the boards often must communicate with each other to synchronize image acquisition and processing, and share results.
For this purpose exists an additional cable for master/slave operations that connects the boards PC-internally over a connector
on top of each board. This cable is available as accessory with
the order no. 6GF3080-0VS40-0TC0.

Accessories for SIMATIC Visionscape
■ Overview
Cameras
Accessories for the SIMATIC Visionscape PC-based machine
vision product line consist of
• Hardware dongles
• Cameras and their cables
• I/O modules
• Cables
See section "Function" for a detailed description of all parts.
■ Function
Dongles
Supported cameras
The SIMATIC Visionscape boards and software can be configured to interface with all kind of machine vision cameras, which
can range from unsophisticated interlaced analog cameras with
standard resolution, over progressive scan analog cameras with
higher resolution, up to high resolution, high-speed digital CameraLink cameras and even line scan cameras.
This flexibility is implemented by the choice of Visionscape
board (see “Vision systems”) and a camera specific definition
file, called CamDef file. Thus, almost all analog cameras and
CameraLink Base level cameras can be connected to a Visionscape system.
As Visionscape cannot be tested with all existing cameras there
is only a standard set of cameras with which Visionscape was
extensively tested that can cover most of the applications. The
tested set of cameras per board is described in the readme file
(see “Further Information”) as well is the board hardware documentation.
In cases where other cameras are required already existing
camera definition files can be used or new ones can be created.
Those new camera definition files will be created and tested by
Siemens, they cannot be created by the customer itself.
The SIMATIC Visionscape Software requires the presence of a
Visionscape board or an intelligent camera HawkEye 1600T to
operate in full licensed mode. If the user needs to run Visionscape on a separate host without a board or a networked camera for purposes such as off-line application development a dongle is required to license the software.
5
Additionally the Intellifind Object Finder Tool requires a separate
dongle (only for PC-based systems, separate options are available for the HawkEye 1600T Intelligent Camera).
Dongles are available in parallel port DB25 or USB configurations.
The following dongles are available:
• Visionscape USB dongle (6GF3080-0VS00-2KS0)
• Visionscape parallel port dongle (6GF3080-0VS00-1KS0)
• Intellifind USB dongle (6GF3080-0VS00-2KF0)
• Intellifind parallel port dongle (6GF3080-0VS00-1KF0)
• In cases that a PC requires both licenses (Visionscape & Intellifind) both dongles need to be purchased. An instruction
sheet coming with each dongle gives further help how to install both dongles correctly.

Visionscape 4000 boards support simultaneous image capture
over multiple boards by means a the master/slave trigger synchronization. This feature is implemented by means of a cable
that joins all the synchronous trigger connectors on the boards
to be synchronized.
The multiboard slave cable consists of a multi conductor cable
with multiple connector and wire loops that correspond to the
boards to be synchronized. The user must cut the wire loop corresponding to the board that is to be the master.
Encoder cable with bezel for line scan synchronization with
Visionscape 0800 CameraLink Board
Line scan applications can only be done with the 0800 CameraLink frame grabber and specific line scan cameras. The line
scan image acquisition of these cameras needs to be synchronized with a movement encoder in the factory process.
The 0800 board supports such an encoder input with an onboard connector. To bring this connector to the PC outside this
accessory cable with bezel is required. The bezel mounts into an
open PC slot without PCI-bus connection.

The Software supports all SIMATIC Visionscape boards, a scalable line of high performance vision processors to cost-effective
frame grabbers (see under ”Vision systems“, page 5/82), as well
as the intelligent camera SIMATIC HawkEye 1600T (see page
5/83).
A unique advantage of this product offering is that all boards and
the intelligent camera HawkEye 1600T are configured using the
same development and deployment environment as well as the
same extensive set of vision tools. The end result, an application
configured for one system can run unmodified and without recompilation on any other, thus allowing users to easily scale as
well as select the right price/performance point for each application, not to mention the leverage of user training and knowhow required only for a single environment.

■ Function
■ Integration
SIMATIC Visionscape Software provides all the elements required to develop and deploy machine vision applications in an
industrial environment.
The engineering user interface FrontRunner enables the user to
quickly and easily create vision application of different levels of
complexity that can be downloaded to any of the Visionscape
boards as well as to the intelligent camera HawkEye 1600T depending on specific application needs.
In the standard runtime interface AppRunner the user can
start/stop the application, collect and review fail images, as well
as present other diagnostic information, thus providing the user
with complete system status.
The SIMATIC Visionscape Software and boards is and will be
completely tested on the existing SIMATIC PCs. As the offering
of SIMATIC PCs is constantly extended and updated with newer
technology we have to test the SIMATIC Visionscape product
line on these new PCs as well.
The readme file (see “Further Information”) contains always the
latest supported SIMATIC PCs as well as the recommended configurations.
Visionscape can also run on other vendors' PCs. But only configurations with SIMATIC PCs are extensively tested and therefore ensured to run without problems.
In addition a complete set of ActiveX components allows the creation of custom user interfaces and even the programmatic creation of vision applications on the fly.
Supported cameras
User levels are almost as varied as the applications that can
benefit from a Visionscape solution as such, the configuration
environment can be tailored to different user types to allow for
the maximum productivity.
• Application engineers and system integrators to quickly develop and deploy complex vision applications without any
conventional programming by dragging and dropping standard tools into jobs configured as a sequence of processing
steps
• Application developers, machine builders and OEMs to create
customized applications with custom graphical user interfaces fully integrated with their machine controller interface
• Installers and factory floor operators to select, set-up, and tryout preprogrammed applications and start, stop and monitor
such applications on the factory floor
This flexibility is implemented by the choice of Visionscape
board (see “Vision systems”, page 5/82) and a camera specific
definition file, called CamDef file. Thus, almost all analog cameras and CameraLink Base level cameras can be connected to
a Visionscape system.

Siemens FS 10 · 2008
When used with a PC-based board the software can be configured to interface with all kind of machine vision cameras, which
can range from unsophisticated interlaced analog cameras with
standard resolution, over progressive scan analog cameras with
higher resolution, up to high resolution, high-speed digital CameraLink cameras and even line scan cameras.
As Visionscape cannot be tested with all existing cameras there
is only a standard set of cameras with which Visionscape was
extensively tested that can cover most of the applications. The
tested set of cameras per board is described in the readme file
(see “Further Information”) as well is the board hardware documentation.
But in cases where other cameras are required already existing
camera definition files can be used or new ones can be created.
Those new camera definition files will be created and tested by
Siemens, they cannot be created by the customer itself.
If you need a new camera supported please contact your local
Vision Promoter or Vision Specialist. We will require in most
cases the camera and its documentation to be sent to us. A service fee might apply.
Connectivity
Visionscape systems are typically configured as stand alone, integrated or embedded systems in an industrial environment. Interfaces will typically consist of discrete I/O connections to trigger sensors, lighting controllers, and to PLCs or reject actuators.
For further information about I/O connections and additionally
required accessories please see the section “Integration” of the
specific Visionscape boards under “Vision systems”.
The system can be configured to actuate on receipt of a serial
command received by means of a RS232 or a Ethernet TCP/IP
connection.
Results data can be delivered by means of RS232 serial or Ethernet TCP/IP connection. The Visionscape system can be configured as a server or client on a TCP/IP network.

Lenses
■ Overview
■ Function
Image types
The optical path of the lens is defined by its construction.
For spherical lenses the solid angle depends on the focal
length, focus adjustment and aperture; all rays run through the
focal point of the lens (central projection). Objects that are further away from the lens are depicted smaller; objects that are
closer to the lens are depicted larger:
■ Application
5
• Measuring tasks and form recognition
For high-precision, reproducible measurement of geometric
variables, a full-format image is necessary to satisfy resolution
requirements. Lenses must therefore be selected that have
low distortion, high modulation depth and a small angle of
view. Telecentric lenses are recommended for objects that
have protrusions in the direction of the lens.
• Quality control and parts recognition
For recognition or inspection of the features of an object on the
surface, the quality of the results depends on contrast and
lack of distortion of the image. Macro lenses are often used
at close range.
• Code and text reading
The recognition algorithms are tolerant to variations in form
and size of the patterns. The requirements on quality of the
optics are not very high. Low-cost lenses contribute towards
the cost-effectiveness of image evaluation systems especially
when they are used in more than one reading station.
• Check for completeness and handling
For localization and pattern recognition, the same criteria
apply as for measurement tasks or parts recognition.
Working
distance
Focal
length
G_FS10_XX_00096
Using a lens appropriate to the respective image evaluation
task, the size of the image field at a desired working distance
is determined for the camera image. In order to achieve reproducible statements from the image evaluation concerning the
position, measurement or quality, the geometry and light intensity for the image must be kept constant within the permissible
tolerances. For this reason, only lenses with a fixed focal length,
aperture and focus are usually used. Motorized zoom, automatic
aperture or autofocus are more detrimental than helpful.
Sensor
dimension
Field
of view
The required image field size (height and width of the image),
the size of the sensor chip and the focal length of the lens
determine the operating distance:
d = (f x IS) / b
d = Operating distance (distance from lens to test object) in mm
f = Focal length of the lens in mm
IS = Size of image in the plane of the test object in mm
b = effective dimensions of the sensor in mm
In the case of lenses used in image processing systems, the
focal length is fixed, the aperture and focus settings can be
fixed. The focal length, the maximum focal aperture and the
focusing range are normally specified on the lenses.
Focal distance
The focal length makes a statement about the angle of the image
field or magnification of the lens.
The focal length of the lens is determined by the size of the
required image field and the size of the camera chip when a
specific distance has to be maintained. The most common chip
sizes in cameras today are ½", 1/3" and ¼". If the distance to the
object lies below the adjustable focusing range of the lens, i.e.
at close range, the focus can be adjusted using intermediate
rings.
If the seating dimensions are designed for CS-Mount lenses in
this camera, as for VS 100 and VS 720, a 5 mm intermediate ring
can be used to adjust a C-Mount lens.
Aperture
Reduction of the light intensity by interrupting the optical path.
Focus
Setting the focus of the lens to a specific distance.

Lenses
Depth of field
Depth of field is the area within which (in front of and behind
the object) that is displayed with sufficient sharpness of focus.
The larger the aperture (the smaller the aperture number), the
smaller the depth of field.
Lenses with a larger focal length have a smaller depth of field,
the effect is considerable for images at close range.

Lens with high quality imaging
for measurement tasks
and form recognition
Lens types
Lenses with smaller focal length are called wide-angle lenses,
they can also be used at short operating distances, but produce
intense distortion of the image. At a suitable distance, they have
a large image field.
Lenses with a long focal length are called telephoto lenses;
they have a large magnification but cannot be focused at close
range, so macro lenses are used that can be focused by means
of large telescopic extensions or intermediate rings. At a suitable
distance, they have a small image field.
In the case of telecentric lenses, at least the optical path at the
object end is almost parallel (parallel projection). This means
that objects at different distances are depicted in the same size.
Objects can, however, only be displayed that are smaller than
the diameter of the lens. It is not possible to adjust the range
of focus with these lenses.
The optical characteristics can be restricted by means of optical
filter glasses to counteract distortion in the image. Colored filters
limit the spectral range, gray filters limit the light intensity and
polarization filters restrict the transmission plane. Filters of this
type can be attached either by using the internal thread or the
flange on the front of the lens. The holder for the filter glass is
designed to fit the lens.

■ Overview
the objects should be captured in the image field with plenty
of contrast and in a reliably reproducible manner. Lighting that
has been optimized for visualization of the objects is therefore
indispensable for satisfactory operation of the image processing
system.
Homogeneous and constant lighting of the complete image field
or object, independent of the ambient light, is a precondition for
obtaining reproducible position, measurement and quality results from the image evaluation system. Application-specific
lighting must therefore be installed and external light sources
should be blocked whenever possible.
Halogen machine lamp 6GF9 004-1AM
Images from a camera are a depiction of the reflected light of
an object on the sensor chip (CMOS or CCD). To enable automatic evaluation of these images with the aid of computers,
The size and type of lighting is determined on the one hand from
the shape and size of the reflecting surface and on the other
hand from the distance and angle of the light from the image
field or object. Flat surfaces can be lit simply but depressions,
cylindrical or spherical surfaces require more complex lighting.
When lighting is selected, any unusual ambient conditions or
requirements of the mechanical system and availability of the
lights must be taken into account. The task and object properties
determine the characteristics of the lighting.
■ Application
Different types of lamps are used for the lighting for image
processing. The lamp selected for the solution must correspond
to the requirements in the machine or environment in which it
is used:

Measuring tasks and form recognition
Machine lamps
Illumination in transmitted light is appropriate when measuring
geometric values with a high accuracy and reproducibility.
Unevenness and different colors on the surface of the object
cannot affect the image processing.
Quality control and parts recognition
5
If the characteristics of an object have to be recognized or inspected on the surface, it is illuminated in incident light from the
direction of the camera. Strongly reflecting surfaces ideally
require diffuse incident light which can be extremely costly to install. Either the active surface of the lamp must be much larger
than the object or the light source must be integrated into the
beam path of the lens.
Reading code and plain text
High-contrast images of printed surfaces are required to assure
high recognition rates. Transmitted light can only be implemented for these tasks in a small number of cases. It is therefore
usually only possible to work with incident light and therefore
light-field lighting. For codes produced by damaging the surface
with a laser or punch, it is recommended that dark-field lighting
is used.
Check for completeness and handling
For localization and pattern recognition, a combination of several lighting types is necessary when both the outer contour
and surface characteristics must be depicted with excellent
contrast.

Machine lamp 6GF9 004-1AV with mirrored parabolic grid
Machine lamps are ideally suited to illuminating large areas due
to their 36 W fluorescent tubes. Their 24 V DC supply and ignition
with electronic ballast units at a high frequency of approximately
30 kHz minimizes flicker and variations resulting in a constant
light intensity. In addition, electromagnetic interference is prevented by the high voltage and the service life of the lamp is
increased.
In the version with a parabolic grid, the light distribution is directional and can be used with a flat beam as dark-field lighting.
A fresnel ensures almost completely regular lighting of the image
field (light-field lighting).

Lighting equipment
Machine lamp 6GF9 004-1AW, with fresnel, 36 W
Halogen emitter 20 W
20 W halogen emitters are particularly suitable for illuminating
small areas with a high intensity. They emit a constant, directional light whose alignment can be intensified using a reflector.
Fixing by means of a screw-on flange and alignment with a
ball joint supports easy and reliable mounting on machine
components.
Decision-making criteria
• Dimensions
The dimensions of the lamp are determined by the size of the
object or image field, the working distance and the position
tolerances.
• Reflective properties
The reflective properties of the surface of the object and the
background and the distance determine the intensity of the
light and therefore the heating level.
• Service life and aging properties
The service life and aging properties of the illuminant determine the long-term stability of image processing or the relevant service intervals.
• Availability and costs
Availability and costs as well as space constraints can also
significantly influence selection of the lamps.
LED lights
LED lights are available in various construction types as spot,
line, area or ring lights that can be mounted task-specifically.
These can radiate light of different colors (white, red). With the
appropriate control electronics, they can also be designed as
a flash lamp.
LED spot with 6-degree and 25-degree transmission angle
LED spot 6GF9 004-1BA (6 degrees), 6GF9 004-1BB (25 degrees)
These spots are easy to integrate due to their small size and low
weight and emit a permanently concentrated white light. Fixing
on threaded pins with lock nut and alignment with a ball joint
supports easy mounting on machine components.
LED ring lamps
LED ring lamps can be used over a wide area for homogeneous
illumination in incident light. They are available as permanent
lights or flash lamps with red and white light. A diffuser disc
prevents strong reflections from metallic surfaces. Fixing with
an M6 thread or centrally on the lens is universal.
5
LED area lamps
LED area lamps can be used for transmitted light with a diffuser
disc that prevents individual LEDs being visible. In incident light,
a diffuser disc prevents strong reflections from metallic surfaces.
They are available as permanent lights or flash lamps with red
and white light. It is fixed using M6 threads in the casing.

■ Function
Lighting types
With transmitted light the object is illuminated from behind
with a large lamp area emitting a diffuse beam which produces
a shadow outline image with sharp edges and a high level of
contrast:
With bright-field lighting, diffuse incident light, the surface is
shown bright and depressions are shown dark in the image.
Example of bright-field lighting:
In dark-field lighting, directional light below a flat angle, the
surface remains dark and edges, protrusions or impressions are
displayed bright.

With incident light the object is illuminated from the direction
of the camera. Ideally, diffuse incident light causes minimal
shadow effects in the image and no total reflection from the

With flash lighting, fast-moving objects can be captured and
distortion due to motion can be avoided. The correct flash point
is controlled by the image processing system to achieve the
best image.
