FAQ (Troubleshooting)

Set scaling to [ON] with [Tool Parameters] of [Unit Properties] for the unit to which scaling is applied. By default, this is set to [OFF].

[Regions] in Screen Properties of the camera screen may be set to [All].In this case, the edge graph is not displayed. The edge graph is only displayed when this is set to [Single].

You can use the [Undo] function to undo the last two operations in Flowchart View or the last eight operations on the Screen Editor. You can also use [Ctrl+z] to undo an operation.

That is correct. When an error occurs in a mathematical expression, calculations thereafter are not executed. If the numerical values from a calculation are not stored correctly, check for a unit error.

The scalar array variable for storing the filter coefficient must be defined as a user variable. Define a scalar array variable appropriate for the filter size.
For example, for a filter size of 21×21, define a scalar array variable with 441 or more elements.

Waiting units other than user menu units do not work in an individual simulator. For more details, see "Overview of Simulation Functions" in chapter 7 of the XG VisionEditor Reference Manual.

Functions cannot be added until the setting itself is converted to Version 2.0 format. In VisionEditor, select [File] and [Save in another file format] to save the setting in the Version 2.0 format. It is important to note that the global setting also has a version.

Restart the controller. Unlike program data, global settings data is not updated until the controller is restarted.
In VisionEditor Version 2.0 and later, the global settings data can be updated by restarting the controller from VisionEditor without having to cycle the power of the system.

By default, the camera settings can only be adjusted with the capture unit of the XG VisionEditor. Changes to the camera settings on the controller are not applied. To change the camera settings on the controller, select the [Use system settings] option on the [Capture Opt.] tab of the capture unit.

It may be that the capture unit is not under the start unit, execution waiting (such as terminal execution waiting) is above the capture unit, and that unit has not been executed. Contact your nearest sales representative for details.

When the flowchart reaches the end unit, the image data is updated. The process may have stopped at a point in the middle of the flowchart. Check if %WaitReady is ON to see if the flowchart is in waiting status. Contact your nearest sales representative for details.

Select [Copy current value to initial value at save] in advance for variables used to change values with the system. After changing values with the simulator, save the settings in the simulator. (Use [Save settings] in the function menu.)Next, select [Reload active inspection] from the [File] menu for the same settings.

The initial values of the variables were overwritten with the uploaded data.
Select [Copy current value to initial value at save] in advance for variables used to change the values with the system.
After changing the values with the system, save the values (copy the current values to the initial values), and download them (load the initial values) to the VisionEditor with the settings.
Change the flowchart on the VisionEditor side to the downloaded settings.
In Version 2.0 and later of VisionEditor, when the [Keep initial value when loading program] option is selected in the variable setting and [Target Data] is selected when uploading, settings can be uploaded without changing the initial values of the variables on the XG system by selecting [Use settings] for [Initial Values of Variables] of the inspection setting and performing an upload.

A dynamic error may have occurred. Check the execution log.

See [Error code] and [Error line] in [Unit Result] for the calculation unit with the error. See the User's Manual for descriptions on the error codes.

To use the Image Archive viewer, you must set this in the XG VisionEditor. Select [Settings] and [Image Archive], and then select the [Enable] option for Conditions 0 to 7 to set the conditions.

When the %JAHold system variable is judged as NG, output continues until the system variable is reset. The system variable that operates the same as the CV Series is %JgAll, so assign %JgAll with a global setting and terminal output. Contact your nearest sales representative for details.

Check the application timing settings in the dialog settings of the XG VisionEditor dialog.
If, for example, the confirm timing is set to [when button is pressed], the setting is not confirmed until the dialog button or bottom button is pressed. Contact your nearest sales representative for details.

The archived images were overwritten with new images and erased.
To display the new images, click [Update].

The updates to the I/O monitor display cannot catch up to the trigger speed. To check whether the signal was turned on and off correctly, use the Trace Log viewer.

When using [Wait terminal I/O], trigger input can only be received from a terminal block.
To input a trigger from a handheld controller, you can use a variable delay unit as usual, but you cannot use both [Wait terminal I/O] and [Variable delay] at the same time.
In VisionEditor Version 2.0 and later, a WG (Waiting status release) command is added and [Wait terminal I/O] can be canceled by issuing a command from the handheld controller.

When creating a flowchart, select the [Use system settings] option on the [Capture Opt.] tab of the capture unit.
In this way, changes made with [Camera Settings] of the [System Configuration] menu are applied to the inspection.

You can set this with [Program to start up] in [System Settings] of the [Global] menu.

You can clear all settings by initializing the system. Press and hold the [Esc] key while turning on the power to initialize the system.

This may be the startup dialog. Remove the check mark next to the initial display setting in the dialog properties. Otherwise the [Close dialog on Escape] option may not be selected.

Remote capture is performed only using a capture unit, so command units are not executed by the controller. To resolve this issue, save the target image with the Image Archive viewer.

Flash output cannot be viewed in a trace log. However, because items assigned with terminal settings of global settings are displayed in the list of items in a trace log the waveforms are not displayed and only the flash items are output.

The data recorded in the modification log is only those restricted operations that can be performed with the XG system. Note that there are many operations that are not recorded. For more details, see chapter 5 of the XG VisionEditor Reference Manual (Programming edition).Operations not listed here are not recorded.

Use the Trace Log viewer to check whether the XG system is outputting a signal. Use the [Global] menu to check the terminal assignments.

The Ready signal that is started when waiting with [Wait terminal I/O] is %WaitReady. Check that signal.

%Flash3 and %Flash4 are not assigned to output terminals in the input/output of the global settings. The CA-DC20E light controller unit does not require a %Flash connection, but the %Flash status is referenced internally, so won't work without a terminal assignment.

The setting data of the workspace is saved, so the workspace itself is not sent to the controller. The various data (setting data, global data, etc.) can be copied to their respective hierarchies, thereby enabling transfer of the data by SD card.

The RE command only works for trigger wait, wait terminal I/O, or variable delay for a capture unit, but Versions 1.0.0011 and earlier do not support wait terminal I/O or variable delay. Note that user menu cannot be canceled.

Simply changing the variable does not change the registered image. The registered image changes when the NU command is issued after the variable is changed.

%OutDataAsyncA to H can control the flowchart asynchronously, but once it is turned on, it cannot be turned off. You must manually set a command to turn it off.

You can use the VisionEditor or VisionTerminal to download files saved on an SD card. In VisionEditor, use [Controller List] in System View to select the file(s) to transfer, and then right-click and select [Download] to begin data transfer.
