Using Error-Proofing Concepts to Prevent
Product Defects and Drive Customer Satisfaction
Everyone knows it: People make mistakes. And when it comes to manufacturing, mistakes equate to lost time, lost money and ultimately lost customers. In today’s globally competitive market, product quality has emerged as a key differentiator. But if errors are so common and easy to make – and we all know they are – how does a manufacturer guarantee that they deliver quality product all the time? The answer: Design fool-proof products and processes that minimize the potential for mistakes to occur in the first place. Enter the concept of error-proofing.
To Err is NOT Divine
What is Error Proofing?
Error-proofing is an industry term that relates to the implementation of mechanisms to prevent product defects. Also known as Poka Yoke from the Japanese ‘poke’ (inadvertent errors) and ‘yokeru’ (to avoid), error-proofing is a common-sense concept developed and popularized in that country. Based on the philosophy that even the smallest number of defects is unacceptable, Poka Yoke maintains that the best way to eliminate defects is to prevent them from happening in the first place.
In general, there are three keys to stopping the proliferation of defects: Awareness, Detection and Prevention.
Awareness involves the acknowledgement of breakdowns in the manufacturing/assembly process and employing training, audio-visual aids and general assistance for personnel to combat those issues.
Detection introduces manual or automated inspection techniques to filter out defects.
Prevention which includes process improvements or automation to ensure no errors are (or can be) made.
Essentially, error-proofing drastically reduces defects through a combined effort of preventing errors and catching those that have been made as soon as possible. Awareness and detection techniques are crucial but, ideally, this effort is about focus on prevention. Everyday examples of prevention-centric error-proofing include a dialog box on your computer asking if you want to save a file before closing it, childproof caps on medicine bottles or speed-dial buttons on your phone that improve accuracy as well as speed. Industry examples range from simple color-coding to distinguish between components that otherwise look similar to a sensor connected to the electric nut-runner in an automobile plant that triggers a horn if a suspension assembly is moved to the next operation before a bolt is properly tightened. Sensors play a key role in error-proofing, and while most are used as simple detection devices, there are also a few sensors designed to be used as preventive measures.
Awareness Detection Prevention
Sensors in Error-Proofing
Sensors are employed at various stages throughout the manufacturing process to either initiate warnings such as audible or visual alarms (for low defect processes and those where part repairs can be made), process shutdown (for applications where problems must be corrected before production can resume, processes with higher defect rates and those where part repair is not possible), or auto-correction controls to provide an integrated test-feedback-repair loop.
In manufacturing and assembly, there are four basic types of errors:
• Missing Parts • Misassembled parts • Incorrect processing • Incorrect partsThe sensors used to detect these mishaps are of all shapes, sizes and technologies from standard inductive proximity and photoelectric sensors to vision sensors capable of analyzing a complex image and providing simple feedback, as well as specialty sensors designed specifically for the prevention aspect of error-proofing applications.
Discrete output (standard on/off ) sensors are the most common in error-proofing applications, used primarily to determine presence and positioning of a part or a feature on a part. Limit switches are cost-effective and easy to apply, but the fact that their operation requires contact with the part prohibits their use from many applications. Inductive sensors
are generally the most economical non-contact solution, assuming the parts to be detected are metallic and the sensor can be mounted close enough to the workpiece for the relatively small sensing ranges (less than 40mm) associated with inductive sensing technology. Available in a broad range of sizes, barrel/body materials and wiring configurations, inductive sensors are available in small barrel models ideal for space-critical applications, as well as flat pack and extended range versions for those applications where maximum sensing distance is key. Inductive proximity sensors are also extremely rugged – especially stainless steel-bodied and cube-style models – making them a good all-around error-proofing solution in harsh industrial environments.
For applications requiring increased sensing distances and/or detection of non-metallic parts, discrete photoelectric sensors are often the best – and simplest – solution. Infrared sensors in standard sensing modes (diffuse, retroreflective and transmitted beam) as well as more specialized sensors in background/foreground suppression, wide angle and fixed focus modes, address the lion’s share of error-proofing applications. Laser-based models are also available for sensing extremely small parts and part features at a relatively greater distance.
Specialized photoelectric sensors designed with error-proofing processes
in mind are available that address those situations where standard sensing
packages are not suitable or are too difficult to apply. Photoelectric light arrays utilizing
two-dimensional scanning technology can create a light screen to sense an object regardless
of its orientation provided that one axial dimension meets the minimum resolution
requirements. This is ideal for the detection of parts being ejected from a machine and
a host of other applications focused on “early detection” error-proofing.

No matter what you call it – error-proofing or Poka Yoke – sensors are an integral
part of the quality control process. And there’s no shortage of sensing technologies to effectively
address all your error-proofing applications, whether it’s simple presence sensing or complex
inspection. A complete and successful error-proofing effort will most likely involve a mix of these
sensing technologies as well as audio-visual aids, awareness training for personnel and some
creative thinking in the development of new preventative processes. All are key to driving not
only product quality, but customer satisfaction; manufacturing errors only become product
defects if they make it out the door – and into your customer’s hands.
Sensors in Error-Proofing continued
This same scanning technology is also used in Parts Verification Arrays (PVA) that are specifically geared toward error prevention, notably in bin picking applications. By spanning the sensing fields of multiple PVAs across assembly station bins and wiring them into a controller programmed with the necessary logic, a virtually error-free bin-picking process can be achieved. ‘Job lights’ on the sensors not only show the assembler the bins required to complete the current process, but will also indicate the correct picking sequence. In the event the assembler attempts to pick an incorrect part, a selectable warning light illuminates to indicate the error; additional fault enunciation can be achieved via controller logic in conjunction with a tower light or audible alarm.
Analog output sensors on the other hand, are used for precise part positioning with continuous monitoring. Associated with true distance/position measurement, analog output sensors provide a linear current or voltage output (4-20mA or 0-10V, respectively), often in conjunction with discrete switchpoints. While many inductive, ultrasonic and photoelectric sensors are offered in analog versions, the precision of laser measurement sensors has made them the predominant technology for error-proofing applications including not only distance measurement and position verification, but such diverse functions as part profiling, thickness measurement, hole depth checking and material warpage detection.
At the high-end of the sensing spectrum for error-proofing applications is vision technology, ranging from standalone vision sensors to complete vision systems. Complete vision systems are used for complex inspection applications and require the integration of a camera, lighting, a processor (usually a PC) and software, typically involving a fair degree of customization and programming expertise. But for many error-proofing applications, vision systems are overkill and cost-prohibitive. As a result, vision sensors have emerged as the preferred technology for applications requiring economical yet advanced sensing for determining presence or absence, completeness, position, markings, labeling, packaging and components. Vision sensors combine an imaging device, lighting and the necessary logic into a single, self-contained unit that provides a simple Pass/Fail output. Using multiple methods of evaluation (pattern matching, contrast and brightness) to detect or differentiate objects by means of previously defined optical characteristics, this Pass/Fail output is used to separate good parts from defective ones. Detection parameters are set up through simple configuration of pre-defined functions as opposed to the detailed software programming associated with vision systems. For more details on vision sensors, their operation and how they differ from vision systems, see Tech Tips on page 16.

Semtorq cuts wiring
time and costs with a
complete On-Machine
solution
C U S T O M E R S U C C E S S S T O R I E S F E AT U R I N G A L L E N - B R A D L E Y P R O D U C T S A N D S E R V I C E S
When Semtorq, a specialty automation systems manufacturer located in Aurora, Ohio, was preparing to introduce one of their signature machines – a welding tip dresser – to the global market, they knew that the machine would have to deliver what Semtorq equipment was already known for: quick uptime, little to no downtime and optimized OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency). They also knew that one of the keys to maintaining that success was delivering the right solution at the right cost level – not an easy task, especially when it came to delivering
an innovative control system. Semtorq turned to Rockwell Automation, with whom they had much success in the past, to help them develop a modular control solution that would allow them to reach their defined goals – and a host of others.
A HISTORY OF SUCCESS – BY THE NUMBERS
Semtorq has been doing in-house mechanical and electrical machine design and fabrication for over 30 years, specializing
in build-to-order assembly stations and weld cells. Initially, the company was in the business of making letters, numbers
and signs – a good example is the metal lettering you see on the tops of mailboxes. They even patented the fabrication
process as well as the “kitting” of those letters and numbers for various applications.
As the business grew, Semtorq began fabricating brackets, small tools and machines to support their customers, which
led to their selling welding equipment. When one of their welding machine customers went bankrupt, Semtorq bought
that company in an effort to get their consigned welding equipment back which resulted in Semtorq not only getting a
floor full of equipment, but in their inheritance of a slew of welding customers. Just like that, Semtorq was officially in the
welding business. Joe Seme, President of Semtorq remembers, “Everything was Allen-Bradley – selector switches, relays…I
can’t tell you how many relay panels I’ve wired, how many relay diagrams I’ve drawn. Over the years, whenever we needed
some help and support, Rockwell Automation was always there to help us through the problems, sorting out issues,
moving us through generations of selector switches and relays to PLCs and panels.”
That relationship resulted in a long string of successes, one of which was a clean room machine for medical product
assembly. Semtorq, Rockwell Automation® and Rexel Midland, the local distributor, collaborated to build a control
architecture that included DeviceNetTM components with plug-and-play connectivity. Each machine station was outfitted
with plug-in I/O modules so that each station could be unplugged from the
main assembly and easily reassembled on-site. “When you plugged it all back in,
the machine started right up,” says Seme. “We still needed a panel to house the
components the customer wanted in the cabinet, notably the servo controls since
the servos at the time were open frame and would generate heat and move dust
around. They weren’t suitable for use in a clean room application without being
enclosed. But the lion’s share of control components were out on the machine.”
Over time, Semtorq integrated more plug-and-play components on their machines. And
with the industry changing so rapidly, Semtorq’s customers trusted Seme and his team
to do some discovery for them, supplying a broad spec that would allow Semtorq to
choose the best components to achieve the best solution at the right cost level.
And one of the areas that was ripe for cost savings was the control wiring. “We’re always
working toward trying to reduce the manpower to do the wiring jobs,” explains Seme.
“Wiring is expensive – you start adding it up, that’s a lot of time and money. We work
to reduce that. Some of the things that Rockwell Automation introduced to us are the
plug-in modules from the PLC rack to the terminal strip. It’s been a savings from the
panel wiring standpoint, but we’re tending to try to go to more plug-in, right out to
smart devices.”
Creeping up on what Rockwell Automation calls a complete On-MachineTM solution,
Semtorq would carry that plug-and-play momentum into their welding tip dresser, one
of their bread-and-butter machines that they planned to launch as a standard product
to the global market.
MAKING THE ON-MACHINE CONNECTION
“On-Machine” is a control design philosophy that moves the industrial controls and
hardware closer to the application or on the machine while minimizing the number
of components in the cabinet. The result is increased uptime and lower costs through
reduced wiring time; pre-configured, quick connect components as well as simplified
wiring layout and connections enable faster maintenance and repair – these were all the
things Semtorq was looking for. Joe Seme and his team thought a complete On-Machine
approach would be ideal for their new weld cells featuring quick-coupled DeviceNet
on robotically-held interchangeable dies and tip dresser, with on-board sensors.
They turned to Rockwell Automation and Rexel Midland to brainstorm on a system
that would allow them to realize their customer’s goals as well as their own.
So what is a welding tip dresser? Electric welding tips (or electrodes) wear out after
approximately 250 welds. Over the course of its lifetime, a welding electrode can distort
and grow in diameter by 25%, resulting in a reduction of current density in the tip and
ultimately the loss of welding capability. Traditional systems compensate by increasing
stepper circuits to boost heat, leading to the need for oversized transformers, the
introduction of additional EMF and the overall degradation of the welding circuit.
A tip dresser is essentially a portable milling machine – similar to a pencil sharpener –
that alleviates this issue by cleaning and restoring the tip to its original shape, increasing
electrode life and effectiveness.

The plug-and-play components and DeviceNet architecture made for a completely
modular machine that could be assembled and tested quickly at the shop – and
at the job site – while requiring only a fraction of the wiring time associated
with typical point-to-point wiring. According to Joe Seme, “The cell is mechanically
assembled first with the wiring to follow. Since the wiring is done last, that is the piece
that always gets compressed in a time crunch. The reduction in wiring time we realized
through the On-Machine solution is crucial to our ability to make custom machines
while maintaining Just In Time delivery.”
SHOWING OFF ON-MACHINE
“It was terrific to see Semtorq’s confidence and enthusiasm about the value the
On-Machine solution could bring to themselves and their customers,” says
Mark Eitzman, Product Marketing, Rockwell Automation. “Their ability to recognize
and leverage the value of architectures sets them apart in the market,” Eitzman
continues. “Not only do they deliver a cutting-edge machine with optimal performance
and cost-efficiency, but they ensure their customers reap the benefits of simplified
installation and troubleshooting as well as the potential to extract valuable information
via network architectures.”
Semtorq’s relationship with Rockwell Automation and Rexel Midland has helped make
that a reality. Joe Seme elaborates, “We’ve always had a great working relationship and
were able to get Rockwell Automation and Rexel Midland to immediately come help out
– we’ve never had a problem getting support. Overall, when we work with those guys,
they come in with ideas that help us get to a point where we understand how these
architectures could work for us to make things easier for Semtorq and its customers.”
The success of that collaboration was in full view at Automation Fair 2006 in Baltimore,
where the Semtorq weld cell with the electrode tip dresser was in the spotlight as
part of the On-Machine solutions booth. It even got the attention of a film crew – Joe
Seme was interviewed and the machine was filmed as part of a video library on weld
cell design, Just-In-Time delivery and lean factory processes. And when it came down
to assembling the tip dresser on the show floor, Joe Seme summarizes by saying what
he’ll be able to say about all future Semtorq machines: “On-Machine allows you to put
components right out at the station, right where you need them. It’s a pretty clean
plug-and-play; it’s a cable, it’s a hook-up and everything just plugs together. And if
you’re doing a big integration job where there are multiple lines, you can build modular
stations and when you go to install, the installation time is much quicker – you’re not
paying for a lot of rigging and electricians time. The overall cost impact is less expensive.
Plus, from the customer’s side, it’s a lot easier for them to troubleshoot – they don’t have
tons of wires to worry about.”

The tip dresser is used as part of a multi-function weld cell designed around a robotic arm which grabs multiple
fixtures and positions them for the welding process (or in other cases, gluing, screw-driving or another assembly
process). The robotic arm quick-changes between fixtures so an operator can load one station while the robot is
working on another fixture.
The final On-Machine solution the team designed took full advantage of DeviceNet and the modular
components offered by Rockwell Automation. Not only was Semtorq able to capitalize on the quick assembly
and significantly reduced wiring time associated with the plug-and-play capabilities of On-Machine, but they
were able to provide a standard machine that was fast, efficient and easily integrated with their customer’s
existing facilities and processes.
Using DeviceNet, Semtorq was able to achieve the low build cost they were looking for while getting the
fast network speed needed for high speed applications. Each fixture was set up as a DeviceNet node, outfitted
with all the necessary Allen-BradleyTM sensors to check presence and position of the work-pieces by sensing
the clamping tool. The sensors were interfaced through weld-slag resistant Armor WeldBlockTM I/O via
Allen-Bradley quick-disconnect TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) patchcords. When the robot picks up each fixture,
the DeviceNet network detects the presence of the node within 250ms, allowing for quick fixture changeout
and ultimately a fast machine. The quick coupled DeviceNet interface gave them the reliability they need since
the controller now recognized all active I/O through the network connection. In the past, multiple conductors
would be sent through the robotic arm to the die. They were never 100% certain all the I/O was being picked
up on the die.
In addition, Allen-Bradley 836E solid-state pressure switches are tied into the pneumatic circuit to measure
the welding gun clamping pressure while a DeviceNet ArmorStartTM provides distributed motor control,
fault diagnostics (for failed motor or tip dresser jams), additional on-board I/O (for external devices including
blow-off valves and vacuum collection systems) as well as integrated lockout/tagout functionality. Allen-Bradley
Guardmaster light curtains and e-stops are interfaced through safety distibution boxes for machine guarding.
All components reside on DeviceNet interfaced through a CompactLogix Programmable Automation Controller.

E C HHIGHLIGHTING THE
LATEST TRENDS
IN VISION SENSING
TECHNOLOGY
MultiSight Vision SensorCustomer satisfaction, product quality and high-yield manufacturing processes drive just about every market you can think of, and the term ‘error-proofing’ continues to be identified as one of the key initiatives to reaching today’s heightened goals in those areas. Error-proofing, in general, is a combined effort of awareness, detection and prevention techniques aimed at eliminating manufacturing defects. As it relates to industrial control, error-proofing is the application of technology – primarily sensors – to detect and ultimately prevent mistakes throughout the entire manufacturing or assembly process. Sensors of all kinds are used as the primary methods of inspection, ranging from the use of inductive proximity and photoelectric sensors for simple presence and positioning detection to complex vision systems for more elaborate inspection applications. But in recent years the emergence of vision sensors that bridge the gap between presence sensors and vision systems has helped to address a range of applications for which simple presence sensors weren’t suitable yet vision systems were overkill, both functionally and economically. This article will describe the functionality of vision sensing technology, illustrate the multiple methods of detection and show how they are used in error-proofing applications.
101
Presence Sensing vs. VisionPresence sensors are the most common and inexpensive error-proofing method. Generally used to confirm part presence and positioning for a manufacturing process, discrete sensors address simple error-proofing applications to determine if parts are missing, improperly assembled or in the correct position for the next manufacturing process. More advanced models such as laser measurement sensors can be used to detect a part feature and provide a continuous analog output for more precise feedback and positioning. The wide range of technologies and feature sets make standard presence sensors capable of addressing the bulk of error-proofing processes, but there are more complex error-proofing methods that standard sensors simply cannot handle. The alternative – until the introduction of vision sensors – was to employ high-end vision systems.
At the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of complexity and performance, vision systems consist of a camera placed at the point of inspection, a separate processor (either a specialized stand-alone processing module or PC), software and lighting. Vision systems, in many cases, are customized to suit the application and therefore require a full assessment of camera performance, custom software with high level programming (C, Visual Basic or a host of other proprietary languages) and often require an integrator for design, setup, troubleshooting and expansions (e.g. the addition of cameras for multiple inspections). The price tag for these complete solutions can start as low as $2,000 for an entry-level system, but can often climb upwards of $15,000. For a number of complex error-proofing efforts a vision system is the only solution, however, with the growing number of middle-of-the-road applications where vision systems are too advanced and sensors are not sophisticated enough, vision sensors entered the market to cover the broad area between.
Vision sensors, often known as multi-pixel sensors, bridge the gap between presence sensors and vision systems. Based on the same concept as vision systems but with the compact, self-contained design of a sensor, vision sensors are an ideal hybrid at a more appropriate cost point (generally less than $2,000) for moderately complex error-proofing installations. These stand-alone solutions contain multiple virtual detectors (allowing them to inspect multiple features), integrated lighting and basic on-board logic that delivers a single Pass/Fail output to the control system, as opposed to the
detailed data transferred by a vision system. And unlike vision systems, these sensors do not require high level programming; configuration is achieved by selecting pre-defined functions through simple software. Plus, vision sensors are frequently designed in rugged, water-tight (IP67) housings more suitable for industrial applications when compared to vision systems.
The Allen-Bradley 48MS MultiSight is an example of an optical vision sensor with a Pass/Fail PNP-type output. The MultiSight addresses those difficult applications that standard presence sensors cannot handle – thread detection, print confirmation and complex inspection, just to name a few – and does so while allowing for a degree of part position uncertainty that standard sensors cannot tolerate. That is, the MultiSight can check a part that is not in the exact same place every time, allowing for a degree of x- and y-axis flexibility. MultiSight is also an ideal solution for applications involving product mix and, therefore, machine process changeovers without the complex and time consuming setup required for standard sensors. Consisting of a self-contained imager (camera), lens, processing, I/O and lighting in a compact, IP67 package, the MultiSight contains multiple virtual detectors that can be logically linked or grouped for evaluation/inspection of multiple parts or part characteristics. It does this by employing three different evaluation methods – Pattern Matching, Contrast and Brightness – to detect or differentiate objects by means of previously defined optical characteristics, e.g. for separating “good” parts from “bad.” All aspects of these detection methods and product performance are selected easily through the supplied software, which is required only for configuration.

Vision Sensor BasicsThe image recorder of the MultiSight is a CCD chip with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The sensor is designed for inspection and cannot provide measurement information. To operate the MultiSight, at least one virtual detector must be configured by designating a Region of Interest and defining tolerance levels; this virtual detector configuration is stored in the sensor’s non-volatile flash memory for reference when the sensor is in stand-alone operation mode (after configuration via PC or PLC is complete). The following sections of this article explain in detail the three different detection methods used by the MultiSight, and how those methods are employed in error-proofing applications.

TIPS
E C H
BrightnessThe MultiSight uses an 8 bit gray-scale CCD chip to capture images. The chip assigns each pixel a value of 0 (black) to 255 (white). The Brightness Detector Type evaluates all pixels that are darker than gray-scale value 128 as dark, while anything above this value is considered bright. The detector examines the Region of Interest (ROI) and determines the brightness level by counting the number of bright pixels. If the brightness level falls between the configured minimum and maximum threshold levels, the detector passes the evaluation. While the position of each dark or bright pixel within the ROI does not affect the evaluation, the shutter speed of the imager has a significant effect on the number of pixels which are evaluated as dark and thus which images pass or fail this inspection.
Example: The two images below (Figure 6) produce exactly the same result in the brightness evaluation because in each case 9 of the 25 pixels are detected as dark. T
The Future of Vision SensingToday, vision sensors effectively fill the gap between standard sensors and complete vision systems. However, as the technology matures, vision sensors will start to blur the line between themselves and vision systems by offering higher functionality that rivals that of full systems. With future developments involving EtherNet/IP connectivity and the addition of virtual detectors (up to 32), MultiSight vision sensors will have the ability to pass additional data to the control system, provide simple position information and issue individual detector results, allowing them to address a wider (and more challenging) range of error-proofing applications without the complexity and cost associated with complete vision systems.
Fig 10.
Application ExamplesThe following are sample applications illustrating how the MultiSight’s various detection methods might be used.
In Figure 8, the MultiSight employs the Pattern Matching detector type to confirm that the holes are present and that they have been threaded.
Figure 9 shows the MultiSight verifying that a date code has been printed by using a Contrast detector type. When the date code is printed, the contrast is high; when it is not printed, the contrast is low. The MultiSight detects the difference between the contrast levels to determine if the date code has been printed.
Detection of an aerosol can nozzle and label using Pattern Matching and Brightness detector types is illustrated in Figure 10. In this application, two virtual detectors are configured and then logically linked to generate a single pass/fail output. The MultiSight detects the presence of both the nozzle and the label. The first virtual detector is configured with a detector type of Pattern Matching to detect the nozzle. The second detector uses Brightness evaluation determine label presence. The MultiSight performs an AND function on the results of the two detectors to generate a single pass/fail output.

Date code verification through Pattern Matching and Brightness detection
During MultiSight configuration, the user can define how the multiple detectors work together to determine the state of the pass/fail output. A detector can be stand-alone (inspection of a single characteristic), logically linked (multiple inspections on a single part), or grouped (multiple inspections on different parts).
Each component is inspected by a single detector. Detectors are subsequently linked logically for the inspection of multiple components or features of a product. The evaluation result of each detector is combined with the evaluation results of all the other detectors, resulting in a single pass/fail output. If the AND (All) logic is selected in the software, all selected detectors must pass evaluation for the MultiSight to
issue a PASS output. (If any single detector sees a defect, the sensor indicates a FAIL condition.) When OR (Search) logic is selected, the output gives a PASS indication in the event that any one of the detectors passes its evaluation.
The grouping of detectors makes it possible to check several characteristics on different parts without reconnecting the software during part changes. For example, during the first production shift of the day Part A is inspected for several characteristics, then during the second production shift Part B is inspected for a different set of characteristics. The sensor can be changed to evaluate either Part A or Part B without the user having to reconnect to the software via the Ethernet port.
Linking and Grouping Virtual Detectors
Pattern MatchingWith this evaluation method, the virtual detector looks for a pattern in the defined Region of Interest (ROI). By defining this ROI as larger than the pattern there is some tolerance in positioning of the inspected part. In addition, when Pattern Matching is used, the MultiSight compensates for homogeneous changes in light level. During setup the sensor is taught the pattern to be evaluated, which it stores in memory as a reference image. In run mode, the MultiSight continuously evaluates the ROI on the current image and compares the detected pattern with that of the reference image by performing a pixel-by-pixel normalized gray-scale correlation to the taught pattern. The evaluated pattern must match the taught pattern to a degree of conformity greater than the minimum threshold value (and less than the maximum threshold value) as set by the user. The sensor then turns the PNP type output ON or OFF (i.e., the part passes or fails the inspection).
Example: The sensor is taught the pattern in Figure 2.
In the row of three patterns shown in Figure 3, each pattern is recognized with 100% conformity because the evaluated pattern is exactly the same as the taught pattern from Figure 2, even though it is in a different position in the Region of Interest (ROI). It differs only in X and Y position and is not rotated.
In the row of three patterns shown in Figure 4, each pattern is recognized but with less than 100% conformity. Pass or Fail result is dependent on the threshold settings (degree of conformity) as set during configuration.
Pattern detection is tolerant of up to ± 5° of rotation. The next two images (Figure 5) would be recognized. Due to the slightly rotated orientation of the pattern, the conformity would be less than 100% even though there is 100% pixel conformity. Some patterns may be recognized with a bit more rotational displacement. In general, the more complex the pattern, the less it can be rotated and still be successfully detected.
Fig 6. Brightness detection conformity
ContrastThe Contrast Detector Type evaluates the difference between the brightness levels of the pixels in the ROI. An image that is all one shade of one color has low contrast. An image that is half white and half black has very high contrast.

YOUR QUESTIONShttp://support.rockwellautomation.com
http://support.rockwellautomation.com
Q I have an application where I need to detect the presence of a 1/4 inch hole in 2 inch square metal sheets moving at 1000 sheets per minute. The application has a very dark background and I would like to see the beam for ease of alignment during routine plant maintenance. What is the best solution?
A Laser sensors are ideal for applications that require small parts detection, applications that require a narrow beam width (e.g. detection of objects through a narrow slit), or detection of objects from long range. A 42EF RightSight LaserSight sensor provides a small, visible beam spot (2 x 3.5 mm) and a fast response time, making this sensor a good solution for your application.
A Yes. Water has a very high dielectric constant, so a capacitive proximity sensor would have very good performance in this application.
Q I have a conveyor line on which I would like to mount the sensors from above looking down at the products riding on the conveyor. The problem is that if I turn down the sensitivity of my diffuse sensor enough to not see the conveyor, sometimes it won't detect the product either, especially if the product is a dark color or if the lens of the sensor gets a little dirty. How can I consistently detect product with a sensor mounted from above my conveyor line?
A The answer is to use a background suppression sensor instead of a diffuse sensor. Diffuse sensors change output state based on the amount of light they see reflected off the target. If the target is dark and therefore does not reflect much light, the diffuse sensor might not detect the product. Similarly, if the lens of the diffuse sensor is dirty the sensor will not see as much light off the target and may not detect it. This issue is a more serious problem if there is anything immediately behind the target, such as a conveyor belt, which forces the user to turn down the sensitivity of the diffuse sensor. For such applications, use a background suppression sensor instead of a standard diffuse sensor. The Series 44B Background Suppression Sensor can be used for ranges up to 300mm (1 ft) and the Series 42BT and 42BC models can be used for ranges up to 2m (6.6 ft). Background Suppression sensors are designed to minimize the effect of background reflections by using a light source and dual receiver optics system with mechanically adjustable control for maximum cutoff point precision. Using the multiple turn adjustment knob on the top of the sensor, a desired cutoff point can be set to meet the specific application requirement. The sensor will detect everything up to this range and nothing beyond it. By adjusting the cutoff point to immediately above the conveyor, the sensor will ignore the conveyor while always detecting the product, even if the product is dark in color or the lens is a bit dirty.
Q What is the difference between an 871TM AC/DC PLC Interfacer proximity sensor and a standard 871TM AC/DC sensor?
A PLC Input modules are sensitive to the leakage currents from standard 2-wire sensors. Because of this, special sensors, like the 871TM PLC Interfacer, were developed to have lower leakage currents and wider operating voltages. To lower the leakage current effect when using standard sensors, you would wire a bleeder resistor in parallel with the load. Examples of how to size bleeder resistors per the PLC/SLC/etc input modules can be found on page 102 of the Inductive, Ultrasonic, and Capacitive Sensor/Programmable Controller Interface Manual which is downloadable at: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/wd/871-wd001_-en-e.pdf
Q How fast is the MultiSight? I need to check the label on 90 packages per minute.
A The MultiSight Vision Sensor has three algorithms - pattern matching, contrast and brightness. Pattern matching is the most commonly used. For a single, simple pattern matching detector the cycle time will be about 70ms, or 14 inspections per second, more than fast enough for 90 packages per minute. Each additional detector adds about 10ms, so if you were checking 4 aspects of the label by using 4 logically linked detectors, the cycle time would be about 100ms (70ms for the first detectors plus 3 times 10ms), or 10 inspections per second. The contrast and brightness algorithms are simpler and therefore faster. A single detector will have a cycle time between 40ms and 50ms. You can always check the cycle time by setting the trigger parameter to "Continuous" and checking the bottom right-hand corner of the software screen while the sensor is in run mode.
Q I am trying to confirm that a bumper has been mounted to the front of the car frame. The problem is that the frame is just a few inches behind it and a normal diffuse photoelectric sensor will not work. Normally I would use background suppression for this type of thing, but I can't get any closer than ten feet, and no one makes a background suppression sensor with that kind of range. How do I confirm the placement of this part?
A Use one of the discrete outputs of the 45CPD Laser Measurement Sensor. Typically the analog output of this sensor is utilized for such applications, but the two teachable discrete outputs are also great for long range (up to 6m / 19.6ft) background suppression applications. Simply set up the switch point between the distances of the bumper and the frame.
Q What can I use as a replacement for the obsolete 42SRU-6402 and 42SRU-6412 Series 6000 Retroreflective Code Reader?
A The 42SRU-6402 can be replaced by the Polarized Retroreflective 42SRU-6202. The 42SRU-6412 can be replaced by the MiniSight Polarized Retroreflective 42KL-P2LB-A2. Some new mounting provisions will have to be taken into account for the 42KL, as the mounting holes are in different locations and are on different center lines from those of the Series 6000 product.
Q I'm trying to determine if a cardboard box is wet or dry. How can I do this? I’ve heard that capacitive sensors are the way to go. Is this true?

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSING USES A BEAM OF LIGHT TO DETECT
THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF AN OBJECT. This technology is
an ideal alternative to inductive proximity sensors when the required
sensing distances are longer or when the item to be sensed is non-metal.
Allen-Bradley photoelectric sensors are recognized as the most robust in
the industrial automation marketplace. Designed for reliable operation,
our leading products boast feature sets aimed to satisfy mainstream
applications found in many industries such as material handling,
packaging, food processing, transportation… the list goes on and on.
Careful selection of the right features during the design cycle allows
us to offer sensors that meet your application needs while remaining
simple and easy to apply. For more specialized applications requiring a
non-standard connector or cable, customization of sensor connections
is also available. No matter how demanding your application, there’s an
Allen-Bradley photoelectric sensor option to satisfy your needs... and
your budget.

THE NEW FIBER OPTIC SELECTION GUIDE provides extensive technical information on the Allen-Bradley line of fiber optic cables used for photoelectric sensing applications. This document is based on the catalog pages but includes much more detail on sensing distance and other application information. Because of the differences in fiber optic cables, sensing distances can vary dramatically; that’s why each cable is now characterized to show performance with various Allen-Bradley photoelectric sensors. As a result, it is now much easier to compare models so that you can select the best sensor and cable for a given application. The Fiber Optic Selection guide is available on line in the Literature Library at www.ab.com/literature under publication number FIBERS-CA001A-EN-P.

proximity sensors
ALLEN-BRADLEY PROXIMITY SENSORS SET THE
STANDARD FOR RUGGEDNESS, RELIABILITY AND
APPLICATION FLEXIBILITY. Choose from one of the industry’s
widest selections of inductive, capacitive and ultrasonic proximity
sensor models, all of which offer you no-touch object detection.
The most commonly-used proximity sensor is the inductive
type, which generates an electromagnetic field to sense metal
objects passing close to its face. This is usually the easiest sensing
technology to apply in applications where the metal object to be
detected is within an inch or two of the sensor face. The diverse
Allen-Bradley offering serves the full spectrum of customer
needs, from light-duty packaging applications to the punishing
environments on automotive welding equipment or the harsh
washdowns in food processing plants.

limit switches
IN THIS GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE
ECONOMY, ONE OF OUR MAJOR GOALS IS
TO HELP MAKE YOU MORE COMPETITIVE.
That's why we have developed one of the
broadest and most durable lines of limit
switches in the industry.
A limit switch is an electro-mechanical device
that consists of an actuator mechanically
linked to a set of contacts. When an object
comes into contact with the actuator, the
device operates the contacts to make or
break an electrical connection. Limit switches
are used in a variety of applications and
environments because of their ruggedness,
simple visible operation, ease of installation
and reliability of operation.

encoders
BY CONVERTING SHAFT ROTATION INTO ELECTRONIC
PULSES, encoders are used to electronically monitor the
position of a rotating shaft. The encoder’s output pulses are
counted and evaluated by a control unit to determine machine
position and velocity, which provides exceptional accuracy and
flexibility when controlling motion. The high mechanical and
electronic operating speeds associated with encoders increase
system speeds and accuracy, decrease cycle times, and boost
overall productivity in the manufacturing environment.
Allen-Bradley encoders are a high-quality complement to
Rockwell Automation’s PLC-based motion control offering,
providing both standard and advanced DeviceNet network-
enabled models to fit your architecture of choice. They offer
preferred compatibility with other Allen-Bradley servo-
positioning controls to deliver a complete application solution.

BULLETIN 844D HOLLOW-SHAFT
INCREMENTAL ENCODER
Bulletin 844D blind-shaft and through-shaft incremental encoders mount directly to the monitored shaft via a split collar clamp on the encoder, eliminating the need for mounting plates and flexible couplings. As a result, overall cost and size are reduced considerably. Through-shaft models are installed by inserting the monitored shaft completely through the encoder, while blind-shaft models only require insertion of the end of the shaft. Shaft position is converted to digital pulses in an “A quad B” format.
An important feature of the 844D is high frequency response: 300 kHz for line drivers up to 8,192 PPR and 600 kHz above 8,192 PPR. This allows both high resolution (10,000 and 16,384 PPR) and high shaft speed (over 2,000 RPM at 16,384 PPR).

T-PORT COUPLER AND ACCESSORIESWith physical space at a premium in virtually every application, rugged compact designs are in high demand. Rockwell Automation’s next generation of T-ports in both micro and mini styles have been designed to meet this need. With an average 26% reduction on physical volume and more keyway orientation options to aid in cable routing, the new design meets the challenges of the increasingly reduced space available for physical media. And these products are designed and built to meet IP67, NEMA 6P, and 1200psi (8270kPa) requirements to provide one of the most rugged and durable families of product in the industry.
But space saving size is not the only added feature; with mounting holes that mount flush on the mounting surface, the addition of a mounting hole on micro models, and rotating coupling nuts on all connectors, the new designs help ease installation and save installation time. Additionally, new micro versions with female to male/female configuration allow direct connection of the micro T-port to the auxiliary power input on Bulletin 1732 ArmorBlock™ 8-point I/O. Also, new products such as gender changers and right angle adapters have been added to help in managing complex network layouts, creating solutions that save you time in design and installation.
ethernet mediaBULLETIN 1485C ROUND MEDIARockwell Automation offers two types of round media for DeviceNet: thick and thin. Thick media, with a 1/2-inch (12.2 mm) diameter gray PVC jacket, is primarily used as the trunk line on the DeviceNet network. Thin media, with its 1/4-inch (6.9 mm) yellow CPE or gray PVC jacket, can be used either as the trunk line or as the drop cable that connects the trunk line to each field device. Each is available either on spools or in a variety of pre-terminated lengths, with custom lengths also available to fit specific application needs.
Newly available are High Flex DeviceNet round media
• DeviceNet thick high flex is rated to 5M cycles based upon a bend radius of 15 times the cable diameter (diameter = 12.2 mm or 0.48 inches).
• DeviceNet thin high flex is rated to 10M cycles based upon a bend radius 15 times the cable diameter (diameter = 6.9 mm or 0.27 inches).
• Testing is done using twist and flex equipment.
Pre-terminated cables for use with ArmorBlock™ MaXum I/O are also available. These cordsets provide connection to both I/O and power and are available in a variety of lengths and connecting configurations.
DEVICEPORT™ MULTI-PORT TAPDevicePort taps are passive splitters which connect multiple network devices to the DeviceNet trunk in less physical space than multiple T-port taps, reducing the number of physical taps on the trunk line from as many as eight to just one. DevicePort taps are available as either thru-trunk versions, which connect directly to the trunk line, or drop-connector versions, which interface to the trunk through a single T-port tap. They are offered with 4, 6, or 8 mini or micro connector ports in sealed enclosures for application flexibility.

DEVICENET OPEN-STYLE MEDIAThin cable 5-pin open-style DeviceNet overmolded cables provide simplified connectivity of open-style devices to round and flat media systems. They eliminate the need for screw-terminal connections when attaching to open-style field devices. They also allow the use of standard factory molded micro or mini drop connection throughout an installation, thus reducing the total number of parts needed in a typical system. The resulting connection point also simplifies troubleshooting open-style field devices by allowing tool-free connection and disconnection.
The following are available:
• Female DeviceNet Open-style to Micro Male or Female Connector
• Female DeviceNet Open-style to Mini Male or Female Connector
• Female DeviceNet Open-style to flying leads
• Double-ended Female DeviceNet Open-style patchcord
KWIKLINK™ FLAT MEDIA SYSTEMKwikLink is the quickest, easiest way to get connected with DeviceNet. A physical media system consisting of flat cable and snap-on modular connectors, it can save you as much as 50% over the cost of installing other DeviceNet media. That’s because you don’t have to use predetermined trunk lengths, so you’re free to put drops wherever you need them. Other advantages include:
• Insulation displacement connectors eliminate the need to cut or strip cable to make a secure trunk connection
• Sealed connectors feature IP67, NEMA 6P, NEMA 13 and 1200psi washdown enclosure ratings
• Modular design allows you to mix and match to create the wiring version you need
• Inherent noise resistance due to the low loss, low capacitance, well-balanced KwikLink cable and DeviceNet’s differential type of transmission
• Installation flexibility saves time and wastes less material, making KwikLink the lowest-cost DeviceNet media option
ETHERNET M12 MEDIAAs EtherNet becomes increasingly utilized in industrial control, survival of the physical media in rugged or harsh environments is becoming a necessity. Typical EtherNet RJ45 style connectors are not designed to withstand vibration, fluids, and other contaminants that can make installation difficult and lead to costly downtime. To address these application challenges Rockwell Automation offers industry standard 4-pin D–coded M12 connectors with an IP67 rating.
BULLETIN 1485K KWIKLINK DROP CABLES These PVC-jacketed, 4-wire drop cables are designed for use exclusively with the KwikLink flat media system. Each attaches to the trunk using a micro-style KwikLink connector and is available with a mini connector, micro connector or flying leads on the device end.
BULLETIN 1485C KWIKLINK CABLEThis specialized flat media’s asymmetric profile helps prevent incorrect assembly of connectors on the cable. KwikLink cable is available with either TPE or PVC jacketing and in class 1 or class 2 rated versions.
BULLETIN 1485T AND 1485P
KWIKLINK CONNECTORS The KwikLink connector consists of two main components. An insulation displacement connector (IDC) module clamps onto the flat cable trunk line, piercing the cable insulation. Next, an interface module snaps on top of the IDC module to provide your choice of connection style to the trunk.
Each insulation displacement connector module
comes with one of six interface module styles:
• Micro connector
• Open style with screw terminals (often used in enclosures)
• Terminating resistors
• Integral drop cable (pigtail) with pre-wired mini-connector
• Integral drop cable (pigtail) with flying leads
• Blank (to seal unused connectors)

BULLETIN 1792 I/O ON KWIKLINKArmorBlock MaXum I/O on DeviceNet takes full advantage of the KwikLink flat media system’s benefits. The entire system is rated IP67 and NEMA 4X, allowing you to reduce or eliminate the number of enclosures or trays necessary to protect either the media or the block. The KwikLink flat cable passes directly through the MaXum block, minimizing the space needed to mount the block to your machinery. With ArmorBlock, the IDC connection is included, so there are no extra taps required.

The 3-pole IDC insert (sold separately) which is needed to make the connection has a much lower profile than a connector on a standard distribution box. LED versions are available for use with PNP (sourcing) inputs.

what’s next a sneak preview of future Sensing and Connectivity products from Rockwell Automation
MULTISIGHT WITH ETHERNET/IP This new development will maximize the capability of the new MultiSight Vision Sensor by making all of the sensor’s analytical data available on the network for detailed product inspection information. An Add-On Profile for your Logix PLC program will create predefined tag names for inspection values, position information, and the results of multiple virtual detectors. This network connection will also allow the user to show the image file on a PanelView or store it for future reference. The EtherNet/IP model will include more virtual detectors - 32 in total - to maximize the number of locally stored configurations. This model will also include a new Contour algorithm with full 360-degree rotational compensation, allowing the detection of a line contour in any orientation. Coming first quarter 2008.
45FPL - NEXT GENERATION FIBER OPTIC SENSOR The 45FPL DIN rail mountable fiber optic sensor will feature dramatically improved sensing ranges and a bigger, brighter display than the current family. The large teach button and easy setup will enable fast implementation and adjustment. One push of the button will change the readout from current light level to the taught light level. Available January 2008.
NEXT GENERATION COLORSIGHT The newest addition to the ColorSight family of true color detecting sensors will be housed in a 50 mm x 50 mm rectangular package. Three teachable outputs will allow multiple color matching and sorting. The color scan feature will allow a single output to be taught multiple colors, useful for general sortation and enabling very wide color tolerance. Most color sensors on the market are extremely sensitive to changes in operating distance – a change of less than 2 mm between the sensor and the target can cause the sensor to change state. The next generation Allen-Bradley ColorSight will feature best-in-class tolerance for change in scanning distance--up to +/- 6mm! The sensor will also feature a gating input, teach button lockout, and remote teach. An optional off-delay pulse stretcher (50ms) will be key for high-speed applications. For advanced users that want a true color RGB output, a model with an RS-485 serial port will also be available, allowing the user to match any number of colors by analyzing the color components with a PLC or PC program. Coming January 2008.
842HR SINE COSINE ENCODERS Bulletin 842HR is a 15-bit high resolution sine-cosine encoder with Hiperface interface and position accuracy of +/- 5 arc seconds. The 842HR will be ideal for high performance digital servo drive systems that require absolute feedback for position control and high resolution incremental feedback for speed control. Available May 2008.
M12 D-CODED ETHERNET CONNECTIVITY M12 D-coded patchcords will be the next addition to the growing Allen-Bradley Ethernet connectivity portfolio. The overmolded M12 connectors will create an industrialized, two pair connection, combining metal coupling nuts and a durable cable to offer enhanced noise immunity with high electrical and mechanical performance. M12 D-Coded patchcords will provide standard connectivity for a broad range of Rockwell Automation products and general industrial Ethernet applications. Coming Fall 2007.
RJ45 CONNECTIVITY New Ethernet RJ45 media will be a rugged, reliable connectivity solution for all applications from the office floor to the plant floor. More durable than standard office-grade network cable, these cables and connectors will allow for high network integrity and performance. Cables will provide a secure connection thanks to enhanced strain relief for maximum support at the connectors. Plus, you’ll see a full complement of RJ45 Ethernet connectivity components including field-attachable Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) and an IP67 housing for the RJ45 connector option (known as Variant 1) on field-attachable connectors and receptacles for harsh industrial environments. Available Fall 2007.
SOLID-STATE CONDITION SENSORS WITH SANITARY CONNECTIONSThe all-new line of sanitary connectors for Allen-Bradley 83xE solid state condition sensors will allow the switches to be used in an even wider range of applications. The 316L stainless steel construction of the switch coupled with the new sanitary connectors, laser etched marking and IP67 rating will make these switches the ideal solution for food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical and other applications requiring equipment washdown. Available October 2007.

a sneak preview of future Sensing and Connectivity products from Rockwell Automation
SOLID-STATE LEVEL SWITCHES New Allen-Bradley level switches will be yet another addition to the expanding solid-state condition sensing switch line. Suitable for use with all fluids in tanks, containers and pipelines, this new level switch is constructed of rugged 316L stainless steel, is easy to install and provides visible level status via an LED display. Ideal applications include overfill or top level detection and lower level or dry-running protection for medium temperatures up to 150°C. Available March 2008.
NON-DISPLAY SOLID-STATE CONDITION SENSORS Rockwell Automation is also adding non-display pressure and temperature transmitters to its Allen-Bradley solid-state condition sensing product offering. The pressure transducer will measure absolute and gauge pressure up to 6000 psi, while the temperature transmitter will provide a 4-20 mA output for temperature measurement from -60 to +320°F. Allen-Bradley non-display pressure and temperature transmitters will be an economical solution for accurate and reliable pressure and temperature measurements. Available April 2008.
WORLDPROX II 12 mm NICKEL-PLATED BRASS INDUCTIVE PROXIMITY SENSORS The WorldProx plastic face/threaded Nickel-plated brass barrel inductive proximity sensor line currently consists of standard, short barrel and extended sensing range models. Rockwell Automation will offer a new 12mm sensor in this line with a fully embeddable barrel (no unthreaded section at the end) and PUR or PVC cable connection options. The standard cable lengths will be expanded to include not only 2 meter cables, but also 5 and 10 meter cable versions. Rockwell Automation will offer these same new features in the 8 mm, 18 mm and 30 mm versions in the near future. Coming mid 2008.
802T-*G* LOW ENERGY LIMIT SWITCHES Since low energy loads do not arc or burn the contacts clean, contaminants may cause erratic switch behavior. Allen-Bradley low energy limit switches from Rockwell Automation are designed with welded gold and silver alloy contacts to provide a protective barrier against surface oxides. Using a stationary waffle-shaped contact to optimize contact pressure to stabilize the contact resistance in the region of the micro load, these new limit switches will be suitable for machine connectivity and low voltage facilities. Allen-Bradley low energy limit switches will also incorporate a prism-shaped crossbar contact to provide high pressure that will penetrate foreign particles which could prevent contact closure. Available March 2008.
