The Flow Menus and Macros of the F500-UM3FE/UM3ME greatly reduce the design and technical work involved in creating applications.The Flow Menus and Macros of the F500-UM3FE/UM3ME greatly reduce the design and technical work involved in creating applications.

Application requirements in the production process for inspections, dimension measurements, and positioning have been becoming more varied and complex every year. OMRON has developed a software package to reduce the design and technical work required in creating image-processing applications. With this software package, applications can now be created quickly and simply.

This new software package is compatible with the newly released F210, as well as with the high-performance F250 Vision Sensor. The know-how and assets from previously created software can be passed on and developed for other models as well.

Flow Menus select the required processing items from the library, combining and linking them for you.

Augment Flow Menus using a PC text editor.The software package can be edited using text commands to customize I/O controls, displays, and a GUI.

The know-how from the past is incorporated in a manual so that Reverse Customization can be used to determine the best method to execute the desired process.

• Stabilize measurement images by filtering the required number of times. • Perform measurements according to workpiece tolerance by changing the measurement area based on measurement results.• Periodically check for data variations by outputting the maximum and minimum values for each 10 measurements.

• Creating special menus.• Displaying and outputting the date and time of NG measurements.• Automatically saving NG images to a Memory Card.• Changing the number of registered product types.

When an item is selected for operation, a sample program and explanation are displayed. Multiple samples can be easily combined.

Measurement Processing Item Support

The F500-UM3FE (UM3ME) Application Software supports approximately 70 different processing items. These can be freely com-bined for inspections as needed. Image input, measurement support, branch control, results output, and results display can beused in common for all of the models (F210, F250, F270, and F500).

Note: These processing items are most effective when set immediately after image input processing item (Camera image input or Camera switching). Depending onconditions, however, high-speed processing may not be possible.

• Switching Cameras

• Changing Filtering

• Filtering Again
