[Project]-[Properties]-[Vision]-[Network Cameras]

The Compact Vision systems can manage two vision projects simultaneously.

Each vision project can be used by one Controller, so two Controllers can use the same Compact Vision unit.

In this page, you can configure the vision project number of the Compact Vision cameras used for this project.

"Project 1" is used by default.

Item Description
System Camera Select the system camera to use for the project camera.
Project # (Network Camera Project Numbers) Select the vision project number.

Setting of a network camera project

For example, let's assume there are two controllers, two projects, and a CV. Four cameras are connected to the CV and they are set as four system cameras to RC+ as shown in the table below.

System camera Model
1 NS1044BU
2 NS4133CU
3 acA1600-60gm
4 acA2500-14gm

The two projects controlled by the compact vision must use different cameras. In here, the project A uses the system camera 1 and 2, and the project B uses the system camera 3 and 4.

To set network camera project for the project A, select [Project]-[Properties]-[Vision]-[Network Cameras] with project A open. Set Project # for the system cameras 1 and 2 that is used in this project to 1 as shown below. (Project # for the system cameras 3 and 4 is set to 1, however, Project # for a camera that is not used in a project is optional.)

To set network camera project for the project B, select [Project]-[Properties]-[Vision]-[Network Cameras] with project B open. Set Project # for the system cameras 3 and 4 that is used in this project to 2 as shown below. (Project # for the system cameras 1 and 2 is set to 2, however, Project # for a camera that is not used in a project is optional.)

Now, the two projects; A and B can be used by the CV simultaneously .
