2. Functional Principle, Technical Data
2.1 Short Description
The Industrial Performance Unit is a powerful computing platform for the efficient commissioning of Micro-Epsilon sen-
sors and systems, which offers full compatibility for inline processes in customer applications.
You can connect Micro-Epsilon sensors to the Industrial Performance Unit via the GigE Vision standard. The intuitive
3DInspect software with Valid3D technology from Micro-Epsilon enables simple sensor parameter setting, which allows
measurements to start immediately. The Industrial Performance Unit directly processes three-dimensional data, which is
subsequently evaluated and assessed via the 3DInspect software.
Industrial Ethernet (TCP/IP, UDP, Modbus protocol) or the fieldbuses listed below are available for outputting results and
controlling the system:
-PROFINET
-EtherNet/IP
The flexible, industrial-grade hardware with passive cooling allows easy and space-saving installation. This makes inte-
gration in a control cabinet or directly in the machine very easy. Thanks to the intuitive 3DInspect software, Micro-Epsilon
sensors can be commissioned efficiently. Accessories such as monitors and keyboards can be connected to the com-
puter without a problem.
2.2 System Design
The Industrial Performance Unit, referred to as “controller” for short in the following, is the link between 3D sensors and
an industrial environment. The captured 3D data are computed by the Industrial Performance Unit and transmitted to a
PLC, for example.

The operating system Windows 10 IoT Enterprise by Microsoft is pre-installed on the Industrial Performance Unit. This is
third-party software for which Microsoft license terms apply; see D:\Support\EULA. The user is required to comply with
these license terms.
Microsoft provides the required updates for the operating system (see table below). At the time of delivery, all required
troubleshooting and security updates published by Microsoft will have been carried out by Micro-Epsilon.
After the Industrial Performance Unit has been delivered, the user is responsible for carrying out security updates. For
this purpose and for setting up the fieldbus connection for the Industrial Performance Unit, a user account with adminis-
trator rights is set up for the user. The user is required to use these rights in a responsible manner and may only use this
method of access for the aforementioned purposes. Any use that extends beyond this, in particular any use that endan-
gers operational safety, is prohibited.
Micro-Epsilon is not liable for any performance impairment, damage or failures caused by the user neglecting to carry
out security updates after delivery. Warranty claims cannot be asserted, in particular, if the user does not follow operating
or maintenance instructions or makes changes to the delivered components (hardware or software components).
Furthermore, Micro-Epsilon accepts no liability for performance impairment, damage or failures caused by changes to
the operating system or by installation/uninstallation of application programs on the part of the user or their agents. This
applies, in particular, to virus scanners and firewall programs.

6.2 System Start-Up
The controller is configured to be used as a measuring system straight away. After the supply voltage has been applied:
-The controller starts up.
-The operating system is loaded.
-The user Operator is logged in without having to enter a password.
-3DInspect starts up in the mode that was used last (measurement mode) and tries to connect to the last connected
sensor.
-The measuring system can be immediately operated via the corresponding protocol (fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet)
without further user intervention if the appropriate settings have been applied.
6.3 Users and Passwords
Two users are set up for the Windows operating system. When the controller is started up, the operator is automatically
logged in (without having to enter a password), and 3DInspect is started up.
User Password Type of Windows ac-
count
Administrator master Administrator
Operator operator Standard user
The user Operator has sufficient rights for setting up and operating 3DInspect.
iSettings and parameters in 3DInspect only apply to the user who is currently logged in. Therefore, it is recommend- ed that the user operates 3DInspect as an Operator.
As an operator, it is also possible to connect to the controller via a remote desktop connection.

7. Setting Up Fieldbus Operation
7.1 General
The controller offers the possibility of control and transmission of measured values computed in 3DInspect via fieldbus.
For this purpose, the respective fieldbus must be set in the Output tab in 3DInspect.
If the error message Input/Output: Error fieldbus startup appears after confirming with OK, the correct
firmware must still be installed on the fieldbus card. You can find details on this in the “Running Firmware on the Fieldbus
Card” section, see Chap. 7.2.
If no error message appears or if a different 3DInspect error message appears after confirming with OK, the correct firm-
ware is already installed on the fieldbus card. The steps from the following chapter no longer have to be carried out.
7.2 Running Firmware on the Fieldbus Card
The following steps must be carried out in sequential order for the correct firmware to be stored for the fieldbus card:
Exit 3DInspect if you haven’t already.
Open the control panel. To do this, click on the Windows icon and click on Control Panel.
Open cifX Setup. This step requires authentication with the created administrator account.
