BANNER PRESENCEPLUS APPLICATION NOTE
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this document is to describe the G3’s support for Banner’s PresencePlus series of vision systems, and the configuration steps necessary to use this feature.

INTRODUCTION
Banner is a manufacturer of vision sensors. One of their specialties is vision and object recognition. All the PresencePlus series of vision sensors are nowsupported by Red Lion Controls G3 series HMIs. Only graphical color units support this feature. This document will first describe how to configure a G310 HMI to communicate and transfer data with a PresencePlus vision sensor, then how the sensor should be configured. This document will step though the procedures to setup the communication for the following functions: • • • • • Trigger (Input Flag) PassOutput (Output Flag) Pass Count (Integer value contained in a register) Measurement (Floating Point Number value contained in a register) Tool name (String value contained in a register)

As an example, the PresencePlus P4 OMNI vision sensor will be measuring the opening of a Banner Fiber cutter (PFC-2).

G3 CONFIGURATION – DISPLAYING THE IMAGE
Red Lion Controls’ G3 HMIs are programmed using Crimson 2.0 software. This software is free and available on the internet atwww.redlion.net

Displaying the camera image on the G3’s display is achieved with the following steps: a. Activating the Ethernet port, b. Setting up the Banner Camera driver, c. Inserting the camera primitive on the screen. Activating the Ethernet port The configuration of the Ethernet port is done in the Communication Module. 1. Click on the word “Ethernet”. This will display the Ethernet...
