NOTE
Gives helpful notes on operation or other general recommendations.
ATTENTION!
Indicates a possibly dangerous situation. If the situation is not avoided,
slight or minor injury could result or the device may be damaged.
WARNING!
Indicates an immediate imminent danger. If the danger is not avoided, the consequences

General safety instructions for the VeriSens®Vision Sensor
NOTE
There is a scratch-resistant foil on the glass cover of the tube in the VeriSens®XC series.
Remove the foil before you start any jobs.
NOTE
For optimum electrical noise immunity, the use of shielded cables is recommended. The
appropriate cables can be obtained from Baumer.
NOTE
Network problems can be caused by a variety of issues, such as power saving modes on
portable computers, faults with cables or other components, or incorrect settings on the
PC. In case of problems, contact a technician who can test the computer to find the
source of the network error.
NOTE
Printable ASCII symbols are supported for job, feature and data names in accordance

ATTENTION!
Connection, installation and commissioning may only be carried out by specialized
personnel.
Protect optical areas from moisture and dirt.
ATTENTION!
Protection class only valid if all plugs / connectors are connected according to this
technical documentation!
ATTENTION
The device may become warm during operation. High temperatures may damage the
device. Make sure that, at ambient temperatures around 50°C, (+122°F) the housing is
assembled so that the generated heat is dissipated!
ATTENTION
Strong radiation or electrical fields can damage the VeriSens®. Never put the device in
areas affected by strong radiation or strong electrical fields. These can be created by, for
example, close proximity to lasers.
WARNING!
VeriSens®emits bright, pulsed light (Risk goup 1, low risk, EN 62471:2008).
Bright, pulsed light can cause damage to the eyes and seizures.
Never look directly into the pulsed light from the LEDs!
For VeriSens©with infrared illumination
NOTE
VeriSens®uses LED illumination of the risk group RG 0 (exempt group, no risk) as per
IEC/EN 62471.
The radiation of the LEDs does not pose a hazard to the human eye if the VeriSens®is
used for its intended purpose.
Even so, do not look directly into the light source –there is a danger of dazzle and
irritation. Install the VeriSens®so that it is not possible to look directly into the light source.

5 Mode of operation
In contrast with conventional photoelectric sensors, the VeriSens®operates with digital images and is
capable of conducting several sensor tasks with parameters set by the software.
VeriSens®’ strength lies in the detection of contours. With the procedure, differences in brightness can be
optimally tolerated, as contours are usually independent of the absolute brightness (e.g. variations in
illumination).
Because a workpiece can normally always be described by its relevant contours, this provides powerful tools
to control the presence, position and completeness of parts. The high quality of the method ensures that a
reliable result is always achieved even with a rapid sequence of objects.
The diagram shows the schematic mode of operation with the corresponding parts of the sensor.
Here, each job is divided into several sensor tasks. Each sensor task executes one task and returns an
associated pass/fail result or the associated measured values. For this purpose, a working area must be
defined that is either circular, an arc, rectangular or polygonal. The contours can be given via search arrows
for geometrical sensor tasks.
Then you can link the results from the sensor tasks into one result and output it via a digital interface.
With VeriSens®the stored jobs can be selected via external switching inputs.

Help_VeriSens_V3.4.pdf
12/228
Baumer Optronic GmbH
Radeberg, Germany
The VeriSens®operates in two operating modes:
Activated
Parameter settings
In activated mode, the actual job is conducted. VeriSens®operates autonomously in this mode and can
communicate directly with a PLC. VeriSens®receives all commands such as trigger or job number from the
external control system and mainly returns a pass or fail result. In activated mode you can also use the
Application Suite to monitor your test assignments.
In the Configuration mode you can configure and set the parameters for the jobs and features to be checked.
This is conducted using the Application Suite.
Because a high-quality digital image provides many means of visual inspection, the parameters of the jobs
have to be set according to the test assignment and the application. For this purpose, the Application Suite
provides a pre-configured input mask for each feature to be checked, which supports the determination of
the optimum settings.

6 Installation and Commissioning
6.1 Mechanical installation
You can operate VeriSens® in any position.
Fasten the VeriSens® to the M4 screws provided for this purpose.
Align the VeriSens®so that the image center indicated below points directly at the object to be inspected.
The VeriSens®should be installed so that it vibrates as little as possible during operation to avoid negative
influences on the image quality (blurred images).
Install the VeriSens®so that there are no obstacles between the sensor and the object that could block the
view or cause reflections.
The VeriSens®can inspect fixed areas at fixed distances. For this purpose, there are two variants with
different focal distances of the optical systems (f = 10 mm and f = 16 mm).
NOTE
The field of view for the XC-100 / XC-200 depends on the lens used.
The tables below contain the maximum fields of view:

6.2 Electrical installation
For commissioning, you will require:
A VeriSens®vision sensor,
Installation CD for the Application Suite,
A M12-connecting cable (not supplied)
An Ethernet cable (not supplied)
A normal PC with Ethernet interface (not supplied).
NOTE
For optimum electrical noise immunity, the use of shielded cables is recommended. The
appropriate cables can be obtained from Baumer.
ATTENTION!
When connecting the power cable, ensure that all conductors are correctly connected
according to their color codes.
You will find the voltages necessary, the pin assignment and the corresponding electrical
power under Technical Data.
Screw the 12-pin power cable with M12 plug onto the power supply connection on the VeriSens®.
NOTE

6.3.1 Notes on using an encoder
You have two options for operating VeriSens®Vision Sensors with an encoder:
NOTE
After installation, the inputs must be defined in the software using:
Device →Device settings →Digital I/O / Inputs
1-channel operation (CH-A)
In this mode, every rising edge of the signal corresponds to one pulse for the timing control of the
device.
It is not possible to detect the travel direction of the belt.
The maximum frequency of 500 kHz should not be exceeded for reliable operation.
Pin assignment of the
power cable
Connect the encoder CH-A to pin 11 (IN 5; gray-pink).

2-channel operation (CH-A and CH-B)
In this mode, every rising and falling edge of the signals corresponds to one pulse for the timing
control of the device. The signals must alternate for the CH-A and CH-B channels.
It is possible to detect the travel direction of the belt.
The maximum frequency of 500 kHz/channel should not be exceeded for reliable operation.
Pin assignment of
the power cable
Connect the encoder CH-A to pin 11 (IN 5; gray-pink).
Connect the encoder CH-B to pin 10 (IN 4; violet).
