Component Installation and Handling
OMRON Components
Use a Camera, Camera Cable, and Console designed specifically for the Controller.
Connecting Cables
Always turn OFF the Controller's power before connecting or disconnecting a camera or cable.
Handling the Camera
The Camera's case is connected to the 0V line in the internal circuits. Observe the following
precautions to prevent noise interference.
•Do not ground the Camera.
•Do not remove the base attached to the Camera.
•Do not remove the ferrite core attached to the F150-VS Camera Cable.
Optical axis of a special camera
The center of the optical axis varies with the camera used. Therefore, when installing the
camera, always check the center of the image displayed on the monitor.
Touching Signal Lines
To prevent damage from static electricity, use a wrist strap or another device for preventing
electrostatic discharges when touching terminals or signal lines in connectors.
Handling the Memory Card
•To prevent damage from static electricity, do not touch the Memory Card directly while it is installed in the
Controller.
•To remove a Memory Card, turn OFF the power supply to the Card (using the menu command) or turn OFF
the Controller. Press the eject button to eject the Card.The Memory Card or the Controller itself may be
damaged if a Memory Card is removed while power is being supplied. (The power supply is stopped using
the menu)

Application Software Precautions
It will not be possible to start the Setup Menu if you change the contents of the Memory Card after installing it in a
personal computer or other device.
Never change the contents of the Card with operations such as the following:
•Changing file names
•Moving or deleting files
•Overwriting data
•Formatting
Turning OFF the Power
Do not turn OFF the power while a message is being displayed indicating that processing is
being performed.Data in memory will be corrupted, and the Controller may not operate correctly
the next time it is started.
Using the RESET Signal
Do not use the RESET input immediately after power is turned ON.When using the RESET input
to synchronize startup timing, wait at least 1 second after the Controller's power supply is turned
ON before turning ON the RESET signal.
Replacing the Battery
The Controller is equipped with a battery that backs up the clock.When the battery is low, the
message ''BATTERY LOW'' will be displayed on the monitor at startup.The battery must be
replaced when this message is displayed.Return the Controller to your OMRON dealer for
service. (The battery is not user-serviceable.)
•The battery will last approximately 7 years.

Features
Vision Sensor
Vision Sensors work in place of the human eye to perform inspections by processing images using
cameras. The visual inspections can be automated and complicated inspections can be performed
accurately at high speeds.
The OMRON Vision Sensor helps create production lines with a highly efficient inspection system, which
is important to meet current demands for small-lot, variable-product production, produce greater added-
value, and improve product quality.
Using the Vision Sensor yields a high return on investments by ensuring the following benefits:
•Repetitive work is reduced.
•More complicated, more precise inspections are possible.
•Inspection data management is easier (CIM, GMP, ISO9000).
•Working hours can be shortened.
•Less 3-D work (difficult, dirty, dangerous) is required.
•Work can be performed by less experienced staff.
