Store this user's manual in a safe place. We are confident that the manual will be helpful whenever you encounter a problem. In addition to this manual, there are other IV-C35M manuals as follows. Read them in conjunction with this manual.
- Don't touch the terminals while the power is turned ON or you may receive an electric shock. - Assemble an external emergency stop circuit and interlock circuit (external to the IV-C35M compact color image sensor camera). Otherwise a breakdown or damage to other equip- ment may occur due to a problem with the IV-C35M.
Page 4
(4) Maintenance Warning - The controller contains a lithium battery. Do not expose the IV-C35M directly to flames as the battery may explode and seriously injure people nearby. Prohibit - Don't disassemble or modify the camera. Fires, breakdowns or malfunctions may occur, if the camera is disassembled.

A variety of color filters and a color extraction function clearly distinguish subtle differences in tone and density. In addition to filtering the three primary colors (red, green, and blue), the IV-C35M can make accu- rate images of objects using brightness and other optional filters.

The two IV-C30C5 color cameras or two IV-S30C3/C4 high-speed monochrome cameras can be simultaneously connected to IV-C35M controller. By connecting two cameras, your system can reduce the processing time by positioning two areas at the same time, and then inspecting two areas at the same time.
Page 11
CCD trigger function does not need an external sensor After a trigger window is setup, the IV-C35M does not need an external sensor if it is scanning moving objects. To set up a trigger, you can select from color, binary image conversion, average density, gray search, and edge detection techniques.
Outline 1-2 Color extraction The color extraction function extracts a color in a certain area from the original image, and registers it as a reference color. The controller converts areas of color that are within the upper and lower limit ranges of hue, saturation, and brightness of the reference color to binary images, as well as colors outside of these ranges.
You can select operating condition parameters to suit your application of the IV-C35M. A description of each screen area is shown below. [1] Color extraction mode (1) Color evaluation Evaluate whether the extracted color matches the reference.

2 Correct the position of the object being measured from the coordinates for the criterion image obtained in item 1 above. 3 If the matching level of the test image is low, the IV-C35M can determine that the label position is NG.
Page 18
Outline (5) Lead inspection (Gray processing using a brightness filter) Based on positional information obtained from the gray scale search function, Purpose inspect the condition of the IC leads and connector pins. (No. of lead pins that can be detected in one image: Max. 128.) Application Inspect the IC leads and connector pins.
Page 19
Outline (7) Multiple position measurement The IV-C35M can detect up to 128 workpieces whose images exceed the specified matching level (gray search) or threshold value (edge detection) compared with the reference image. Purpose - The positional deviation measurement needs to have a number of positions registered for measurement.
Page 20
Outline (8) Multiple degree of match inspection Using the gray search function, the IV-C35M can detect up to 128 workpieces Purpose whose captured image exceeds the required degree of match with the reference Position measurement of workpieces having complicated density conditions, that Application could not be measured by conventional binary conversion and density processing.

Glossary Glossary Area filter A function used to eliminate an island if its area is smaller that the specified size after each of the objects in an image have been identified. Arrangement of the square pixels This refers to CCD elements whose pixels are square and arranged at the same vertical and hori- zontal interval.

Glossary Binary processing (fixed/threshold value correction) By setting THESHLD. ADJ (threshold adjustment function), the IV-C35M can cope with variations in lighting. (threshold adjustment function), the monitor brightness functions must be selected to measure variations in lighting. Threshold correction value If you don’t select the monitor brightness Fixed function, a BINARY CORR.: LIGHT LVL...

PC and an external computer, or the like, using this communica- tion protocol. The IV-C35M supports the computer link protocols used by Sharp, Omron, Mitsubishi, and Yokogawa PCs. Therefore, the PC does not need a custom communication program in order to create a computer link with the IV-C35M.

Glossary Expansion contraction Delete e isolated black points by expansion and then restore the original image size by contraction. Contraction expansion Delete isolated white points by contraction and then restore the original image size by expan- sion. Fillet width (shading width) Size of a hollow rectangle which closely matches to the target object in a binary image (white part).

Gray scale check using the normalization correlation method Even when the IV-C35M is looking at the same object as the object used for the reference image, the new target image and the previously stored reference image may not match completely, due to variations in the illumination conditions and the ambient light.
Page 125
The "illumination (light level) monitor" is a function which automatically monitors the environmental lighting conditions when measuring objects. If the illuminance exceeds the alarm density setting, the IV-C35M will display an alarm message. Interline transfer system The interline transfer system is a system for transferring electrical charges from the CCD receiving elements to the readout matrix.

Glossary Main axis angle The acute angle between the longitudinal and horizontal axes of a shape in the image after the measurement object is converted to binary. This angle cannot be measured for nearly circular or square-shaped objects. Mask window The image being examined may contain an area that does not need to be processed.

(e. g.: 120 horizontal lines) can take only 25 % of the time to read the entire image. The IV-C35M can automatically determine the width of the partial image window. You can change back and forth between reading the whole image and a partial image.
Page 128
In order to make a partial reading of the CCD image at high speed, the IV-C35M is equipped with the detection function described above with the works just like a proximity sensor to trigger the CCD.

And, by extracting or emphasizing certain image features, it is easier to evaluate or identify target objects by converting the images into standard patterns. In the IV-C35M, you can select a "smoothing (average, center)," "edge emphasis," "edge extraction," "horizontal edge," and "vertical edge."...

-A "pixel" is one picture element (DTECT PRECISION: STANDARD (detection precision: standard) in case of the IV-C35M). "Sub pixel" refers to a unit smaller than a single pixel (DTECT PRECI- SION: HIGH (detection precision: high) for 1/10 pixel in case of the IV-C35M).
Page 131
Glossary (Example for adjustment) An example of adjustment is shown below, using a white object on a black background. When the dotted line in the window is converted to a binary image, if the lower limit is set higher, the black part in the binary image will become larger.
