X SMART-VS
HANDLING
The Smart-VS is designed to be used in an industrial environment and is built to with-
stand vibration and shock when correctly installed, however it is also a precision prod-
uct and therefore before and during installation it must be handled correctly to avoid
damage.
• Avoid that the device is dropped (exceeding shock limits).
• Do not fine tune the positioning by striking the device or bracket.

PRODUCT REFERENCE GUIDE XI
• Do not weld the device into position. It can cause electrostatic, heat or reading
window damage.
• Do not spray paint near the sensor. It can cause reading window damage.

CHAPTER 1
RAPID CONFIGURATION
CONNECT THE SYSTEM
Figure 3 shows an example illustrating how to connect the system. In this layout the
result signals are connected to the PLC while it is possible to configure and monitor the
device by the Host PC.
The device is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object
enters its reading zone.
Figure 3 - Smart-VS layout example

MOUNT AND POSITION THE DEVICE
PRODUCT REFERENCE GUIDE 2
MOUNT AND POSITION THE DEVICE
1. To mount the Smart-VS, use the mounting bracket to obtain the most suitable
position for the device. The most common mounting configuration is shown in the
figure below.
Figure 4 - Positioning with Mounting Bracket
2. When mounting the Smart-VS take into consideration these three ideal label posi-
tion angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°, although the device can operate
at any tilt and skew angle provided the object feature to be inspected fits into the
Field Of View (FOV).
Figure 5 - Max. 20% pitch to avoid direct reflections
NOTE: Rapid Configuration of the Smart-VS sensor can be made either
through the HMI interface (see "Button Teaching Procedure" on page 3)
which requires no PC connection, or by using the Smart-VS WebApp (see
"Using the Smart-VS WebApp" on page 7). Select the procedure according
to your needs.

HMI BUTTON CONFIGURATION
Button Teaching Procedure
The Run LED will blink until the Teaching procedure is entered (e.g. device factory
default).
Long press (> 4s, until the red LED on HMI lights up) the HMI Button to enter the Teach-
ing procedure.
1. GOOD objects required to be taught (green
LED and green spot blink).
2. Place the GOOD object in front of the Aiming
System.
3. Place the trigger sensor properly. The Trigger
LED indicates object detection.
4. Short press (< 1s) the HMI Button to acquire
the image. More than one GOOD object can
be acquired. It is suggested to acquire one
image per GOOD object instance. Camera
parameters are auto-adjusted on the first
acquisition only.
5. Long press (> 4s, until the red LED on HMI
lights up) the HMI Button to start acquiring
NO GOOD objects. The red LED and the red
spot start blinking.
6. Place the NO GOOD object in front of the
Aiming System. Check the Trigger LED.

HMI BUTTON CONFIGURATION
PRODUCT REFERENCE GUIDE 4
Button Incremental Teaching Procedure (optional)
When in Run mode (Run green LED steady on), training images can be added to the cur-
rent job.
7. Short press (< 1s) the HMI Button to acquire
the image. More than one NO GOOD object
can be acquired.
8. Long press (> 4s, until the red LED on HMI
lights up) the HMI Button to enter the auto-
matic learning procedure (LEDs pattern). In
the end, the device will enter the Run Phase
NOTE: The Teaching procedure can also be entered when in Run phase:
press the HMI Button for 2s (yellow LED on HMI) for incremental teaching
or 4s (red LED on HMI) to cancel and re-teach.
NOTE: It is recommended to perform this procedure via WebApp to have
more control over this operation.
1. Press the HMI Button for approx. 2 seconds
and release it as soon as the HMI yellow LED
turns on.
2. New GOOD object images can be added to
the current job.
If incremental teaching is needed for NO
GOOD objects only, skip to step 3.
Short press (< 1s) the HMI Button to acquire a
GOOD image.

RAPID CONFIGURATION
5 SMART-VS
Button Re-Teaching Procedure (optional)
When in Run mode (Run green LED steady on), the current job can be erased and re-
trained.
Long-press (> 4s, until the red LED on HMI lights up) the HMI Button to enter the Teach-
ing procedure, then follow the "Button Teaching Procedure" on page 3.
If errors occur and the new Teaching is not finalized, the current job will not be over-
written.
3. Long press (> 4s, until the red LED on HMI
lights up) the HMI Button to start acquiring
NO GOOD objects. Red LED and red spot start
blinking.
4. New NO GOOD object images can be added to
the current job.
If incremental teaching is needed for GOOD
objects only, skip to step 5.
Short press (< 1s) the HMI Button to acquire
the NO GOOD image.
5. Long press (> 4s, until the red LED on HMI
lights up) the HMI Button to enter the auto-
matic learning procedure (LEDs pattern). In
the end, the device will enter the Run phase.
NOTE: In case of mistakes, the procedure can be aborted before proceeding
to step 5 by pressing the HMI Button for approx. 2 seconds until the HMI
yellow LED turns on.
NOTE: In case of mistakes, the procedure can be aborted before entering
the learning procedure by pressing the HMI Button for approx. 2 seconds
until the HMI yellow LED turns on.

HMI BUTTON CONFIGURATION
PRODUCT REFERENCE GUIDE 6
Firmware Rollback and Reset Configurations (optional)
It is possible to perform a firmware Rollback to the second to last software version
installed or a complete Reset Configurations.
In order to perform the Rollback or Reset procedure, follow the next steps:
1. Disconnect the device power supply.
2. Press and hold down the HMI button.
3. Power up the device keeping the HMI button pressed until:
• for firmware Rollback, hold down until all LEDs blink simultaneously, then release
it when they are steady on (within 4 seconds max).
• for the Reset configurations procedure, hold down until all LEDs blink simulta-
neously, then release and press it again (within 1 second).
NOTE: It is suggested to close the Smart-VS WebApp before performing the
procedures above. Connect to or refresh the WebApp to check the device
software version (see "" on page 17).
NOTE: All saved jobs are kept with a Firmware Rollback. Two consecutive
Firmware Rollback procedures lead to the factory software version keep-
ing all the saved jobs.
NOTE: The Reset Configurations procedure restores the factory default
configurations (global settings and IP address 192.168.3.100) and erases
all saved jobs, while keeping the last software version installed on your
device.

USING THE SMART-VS WEBAPP
Before using a Smart-VS device, a Teaching procedure must be performed. Teaching can
be completed either using the embedded HMI (refer to the Smart-VS Quick Reference
Guide) or the Smart-VS WebApp graphic user interface.
To access the Smart-VS WebApp, connect to the device IP address (factory default:
192.168.3.100) via Ethernet.
For systems that support the Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) protocol,
you can connect to the Smart-VS by typing smart-vs/ in the address bar (if there is only
one device on the network) or smart-vs-[Serial Number]/ (e.g. smart-vs-c12345p/) if
there are multiple devices on the same network.
NOTE: To access the Smart-VS WebApp, Google Chrome is the recom-
mended Internet browser.
NOTE: In case of a new device, the user is automatically redirected to the
Dashboard Page (see "Dashboard Page" on page 8).
NOTE: In case of an already trained device, the Monitoring page is dis-
played (see "Monitoring" on page 14).
NOTE: A I/O Settings page is also available to adjust the device settings
(see "I/O Settings" on page 17).
NOTE: Device information and the software update feature are available on
the Dashboard Page.
