yyDo not press the touch panel with the tip of your nail or anything that has a sharp tip such as
a pen or a screwdriver. Doing so may cause damage.
yyDo not apply shock to the touch panel or press it with excessive force. Doing so may cause
damage.
yyThe LCD panel may have some dots that are always lit (bright dots) or ones that are always
unlit (black dots). This phenomenon is not a problem.
yyDue to the unique characteristics of an LCD, displaying the same image for a long time may
cause an afterimage.
yyFor USB memory
yyUse products recommended by KEYENCE.
yyA USB memory device with a security function cannot be used.

the setting data may be lost or it may cause a damage.
yyFor external master image registration
When the external master image registration is used frequently, set [Write ROM when using Ext.
Master Save?] of the input option to [No] for nonvolatile memory protection of the internal
sensor. When the option is set to [Yes], the nonvolatile memory is guaranteed to write for
100,000 times.
yyFor automatic focus function
yyAutomatic focus function is used for adjusting the focusing position at the time of installation.
This will not activate during the operation.
yyFocusing position can be registered in each program. The program configurations are guaranteed
to switch for 100,000 times. If the focusing position does not need to change for each program,
set [Auto Focus Adj Pos] to [Common] for extending the life-span.
yyDo not apply shock or vibration to the sensor (IV series) or sensor head (IV-G series) during
the focusing position adjustment. Failure to do so may cause a product damage.

Overview of IV/IV-G Series
1 IV/IV-G Series
Getting Started
The IV/IV-G series is a Vision Sensor. This sensor can be attached easily so complicated detection
operations such as detecting the shapes of parts with a photoelectric switch can be achieved easily.
Operation condition settings require the intelligent monitor (IV-M30) or the PC software for IV/IV-G series
IV-Navigator (IV-H1).
The sensor with monitor and the sensor with PC are connected via an Ethernet so connection with multiple
sensors besides direct single connection can be performed.

1 Judgment processing flow

Getting Started
This section describes the basic judgment processing flow of this device.
Trigger input
BUSY output
Total status
output
Inputs the imaging startup signal by synchronizing to the

Trigger input target position from a photoelectric switch or PLC.
Also, the trigger can be input at a regular interval with an
internal trigger function.
Light up the built-in light and image the target by using the
Imaging CMOS image sensor. BUSY output function turns ON.
According to the settings of a detection tool, the image of the target

Tool processing is scanned for detecting whether a target is high or low quality.
Up to 16 detection tools can be set. Also, misaligned
positions of the target can be corrected by using the
position adjustment tool.
After the detection process is completed, the BUSY output
function turns OFF.
Outputs the status results.
Status output When the total status result is OK, the total status output
is ON.
When the total status result is NG, the total status NG
output is ON.
Saves the image to the image history memory in the sensor.

Save images Conditions for saving the image can be selected from NG
only or All.
Color type can save 100 images, and monochrome type
can save 300 images.
* When the FTP client function is used, color type can save
70 images, and monochrome type can save 210 images.

Sensor Image History (Confirming the Images whose Status Result is NG)

(Confirming the Images whose Status Result is NG)
The sensor has a built-in memory for saving images used for judgment. According to the saving condition,
it automatically saves the latest images. The saving conditions are as follows.
yyNG images only (default value).... Saves the images whose total status result was NG.
yyAll images..................................... Saves all the images that were judged.
Loads the saved images into the monitor and the images can be used for confirming the causes and
tendency of the NG result.
The numbers of images can be saved are as follows.
yyColor type...................... 100 images
yyMonochrome type.......... 300 images
The number of images which can be saved when using the FTP client function are as follows.
yyColor type...................... 70 images
yyMonochrome type.......... 210 images
Since the memory of the sensor image history is volatile, all saved images are erased when the power 6
is turned OFF.

To save the images, batch back up the images into a USB memory.

(1) Positions the target and inputs external trigger. The shortest input time is 100 s for ON, and 1.2 ms for
OFF.
(2) BUSY output function turns ON. Processing time differs depending on the settings.
(3) After the trigger delay time (Page 4-8) elapses, the target is imaged and the judgment process is
performed.
(4) After the judgment process is completed, it updates status output and the BUSY output function is
turned OFF. Confirms that the BUSY output is turned OFF, then imports the status output.
(5) If the external trigger is input while the BUSY is being output, the input is ignored and a trigger error
occurs. Trigger 3 is not judged. To output the trigger error, set the trigger error within the Output
Assignment (Page 4-64) under Settings Navigator to [ON].
yyThe ON status of each output is as follows.

When Output Settings (Page 6-35) are [N.O.] : Status with NPN or PNP open collector ON.
When Output Settings (Page 6-35) are [N.C.] : Status with NPN or PNP open collector OFF.
yyThe ON status of each input indicates 0 V line is shorted when the Polarity (Page 6-36) is NPN, and
indicates that voltage is applied within the 0 V line when the Polarity is PNP.
yyThe edge trigger for activating timing or in deactivating timing can be set for the external trigger input.
yyThe trigger error output function turns OFF when the next trigger is activated, when the error is cleared,
when the program is switched, or when the system moves to the settings screen.
yyWhen the output mode (Page 6-35) of status output is set to [Latching]. When the output mode is set to
[One-Shot], refer to Changing the timing of the status output (Page 7-7).

Internal trigger
When the [Trigger Options] is set to [Internal], imaging and judgment are performed at the timing of set
trigger interval.

(1) Inputs internal trigger in the trigger interval being set.
(2) BUSY output function turns ON at the timing that internal trigger occurred. Processing time differs
depending on the settings.
(3) The target is imaged and judged. No trigger delay settings.
(4) After the judgment process is completed, it updates status output and the BUSY output function is
turned OFF. Confirms that the BUSY output is turned OFF, then imports the status output.
(5) If the internal trigger is input while the BUSY is being output, the input is ignored and a trigger error
occurs. Trigger 3 is not judged. To output the trigger error, set the trigger error within the Output
Assignment (Page 4-64) under Settings Navigator to [ON].

yyWhen the output mode (Page 6-35) of status output is set to [Latching]. When the output mode is set to
[One-Shot], refer to Changing the timing of the status output (Page 7-7).
yyWhen [Internal Trigger Control with IN1 Input] is set to [Yes], the minimum input ON time is 1 ms and the
minimum input OFF time is 1.2 ms.
The actual interval from IN1 input to an internal trigger output is within set trigger interval + 1 ms.
Set the trigger interval longer than the processing time. If the trigger interval is shorter than the processing
time, the internal trigger will be input during the processing time, so the trigger error will occur.

Operating in the shortest cycle

To input the internal trigger in the shortest cycle and perform the judgment process, set the trigger input to
1 ms. Also, set the trigger error in the Output Assignment of Settings Navigator (Page 4-64) to [OFF] and
ignore the trigger error.

Importing the Status Output
Imports the status output assigned to output line of power I/O cable. For details on assigning to output line,
refer to 4. Output Assignment ( Setting Details of Outputting to Output Line) (Page 4-64).

yyThe total status output turns ON when the total status results were OK.
The total status NG output turns ON when the total status results were NG.
The total status conditions can be selected from [All Tools OK], [Any Tool OK] and [Logic 1] to [Logic 4].
yy[All Tools OK]
When all of the status results of the detection tools and the adjustment result of the position
adjustment result were OK, the total status result is OK.

When any of the status results of the detection tools except that of the position adjustment was OK,
the total status result is OK.

When the logical operation result of the set detection tools was OK, the total status result is OK.
yyThe status result will be kept until the next status result output. However, the output function turns OFF
when the program number is switched or external master image is registered.

7 yyThe operation example when the output mode (Page 6-35) of status output is set to [Latching]. When the
output mode is set to [One-Shot], refer to Changing the timing of the status output (Page 7-7).
yyThis is an example when the status results of Tool 1, Tool 2, and Logic 1 are to be checked individually.
yyThe status output turns ON when the status result of each tool/logic was OK. Turns OFF when the result
was NG or --.
yyThe status result will be kept until the next status result output. However, the output function turns OFF
when the program number is switched or external master image is registered.

Changing the timing of the status output

The timing of status output can be selected from the [Latching] which links to judgment and [One-Shot]
which outputs for a certain time. For details on settings, refer to Output Settings (Page 6-35).

yyIn case of [Latching], updates the output by linking with judgment.

yyIn case of [One-Shot], outputs in a set amount of time after the set delay time is passed.
yyWhen the program number is switched or the external master image is registered, the status output turns
OFF before each process is completed. 7

Cancelling One-Shot output
To use the One-Shot output function, the following condition needs to be met.
Trigger input interval (Trigger interval) > One-Shot ON Time
If the above is not met, the following One-Shot output that occurs during the One-Shot outputting is
cancelled and is not output.

(1) This is an example of what happens when the trigger input interval is shorter than the One-Shot ON Time.
(2) To perform the One-Shot output and output the status result of Trigger 1, the previous One-Shot output
is completed, so that outputting can be performed normally.
(3) To perform One-Shot output and output the status result of Trigger 2, the One-Shot output of Trigger 1
is output. Therefore, the output status of Trigger 2 will be cancelled and it will not be output.
yyIf the BUSY time is not constant, meet the following condition to use it. The system might be affected by
a fluctuating BUSY time.
BUSY time + Trigger input interval (Trigger interval) > BUSY time + One-Shot ON Time

Changing Over

(2) The BUSY output turns ON while switching the programs. Switching time differs depending on the settings.
(3) The output status (Latching output and One-Shot output) turns OFF before the switching program is completed.
(4) If the program number is switched during the judgment process by the trigger input, the system cancels
the judgment process (result of Trigger 2 is not output). The switching process is delayed by the
canceling process. Delay is time differs depending on the settings.
(5) If the trigger occurs while switching the programs (during the BUSY output), the trigger is ignored and a
trigger error occurs. To output the trigger error, set the trigger error in the Output Assignment (Page 4-64)
under the Settings Navigator to [ON]. In the case of a manual trigger, the trigger is processed after the
switching program is completed.
yyFor details on T1 and T2, refer to Input Response Time (Page 7-13).
yyUse this function during an operation. Programs cannot be switched with the external input during setup.
yyIf the switched program is set to [Internal], the first timing for inputting the trigger after switching the
program fluctuates. A delay of one trigger interval may occur.
yyDo not use with the external master registration input at the same time. The sequence for switching
programs and external master registration process will vary.
yyThe response of an image displayed on the monitor might be delayed until after switching programs (BUSY
output OFF).

Registering the Master Image
The external master registration function can register the master image with using the input line. For details

(2) If the BUSY output turns OFF, the external master registration input will be input. Minimum ON/OFF
input time is 2 ms.
(3) The BUSY output turns ON and the master registration starts. The master registration time differs
depends on the settings.
(4) The status output (Latching output and One-Shot output) turns OFF before the master image
registration is completed.
(5) The image imaged in Trigger 1 will be registered as a master image.
(6) If the external image registration is failed, the error output turns ON. Check that the external master
image registration is succeeded with the error output. In case of failure, the image will not be updated
from the previous master image. The error output turns OFF when the external master image
registration is succeeded or by the clear error input.
(7) After the master image registration is completed, the judgment process is performed with the new
master image. Trigger 2 judges the target with using an image of Trigger 1 as a master image.

yyFor details of T3 and T4, refer to Input Response Time (Page 7-13).
yyUse this function during an operation. The external master image registration cannot be performed during
setup.
yyIf the trigger occurs while registering the master image (during BUSY output), the trigger is ignored and a
trigger error occurs. The trigger error output function turns OFF when the next trigger is activated, when
the program is switched, or when the error is cleared. To output the trigger error, set the trigger error in
the Output Assignment (Page 4-64) under Settings Navigator to [ON].
y If the external master registration input is input during the imaging process (BUSY) by the trigger, the
y
system cancels the judgment process (taken image will not be registered). After the process is canceled,
the image taken before cancellation is registered as a master image. The master image registration
process is delayed by the cancelling process. Delaying time differs depending on the settings.
yyDo not change over the programs at the same time as external master registration input is being performed.
The sequence of the external master registration and switching programs process will vary.
7 yyIf the external master image registration is to be performed frequently, set [Write ROM when
using Ext. Master Save?] of the input option to [No] to protect the nonvolatile memory of the
internal sensor. For details of settings, refer to Input Settings (Page 6-33).

(5) If the startup error is occurred, the error output turns ON during the BUSY status.
(6) The RUN output turns ON when the sensor is running with no system error occurring.

yyThe RUN output, BUSY output and error output will be output from the output line assigned in output
assignment for program numbers (Page 4-64) determined after the power is turned ON. If the outputs
are not being assigned, it will not be output.

Input Response Time
Input Response Time
The following response times are the typical examples (typ.). The response times may differ depending
on the settings or the image processing condition. Control by confirming the BUSY output for securing
from the affect of different response times.
