Preface
Overview of Connection Between Vision System
and VT5 Series

With the VT5 Series, you can display images from vision systems or check their settings in two ways: via “vision system monitor connection” using
Ethernet cables and via “RGB connection” using an RGB cable.

Features: Features:
• Multiple vision systems can be connected only using LAN cables. •O ne VT5-X Series display can be connected to one vision system
(Up to 32 units) via an RGB cable.
* Both VT5-X and VT5-W can be used.
• Y ou can check or change settings of a vision system using the

USB console or mouse connected to the VT5 or through touch
operation. • T he video update cycle is faster compared to that via vision system
monitor connection.

Items to check when using vision system monitoring:

• The following version of VT STUDIO is required when using the XG-X Series:
VT STUDIO: Ver. 6.01 or later, VT main unit system program: Ver. 2.01 or later
• When using other vision systems, the following version of vision system firmware is required: XG-8000 Series: Ver. 5.1 or later,
XG-7000 Series: Ver. 4.0 or later, CV-X400/X100 Series: Ver. 3.2 or later

Step 1
Checking the Equipment Required for
Vision System Monitoring

Prepare the following equipment and wire them by referring to the connection diagram:

 VT5 Series*1: 1 unit  Vision system: 1 unit  LAN cable: 1 unit  Ethernet switch*2

STP/UTP cable

*1 Both VT5-X and VT5-W can be used. *2 Not required for direct connection to the VT5 Series.

Connection diagram (1 to 1 connection)

Connect the Ethernet port of the VT5 Series to the vision system as follows:

Step 2 Connection Procedure for Vision System Monitoring

Operate the VT5 Series to use vision system monitoring via Ethernet connection.

The procedures in this guide describe connection procedures using VT STUDIO Ver. 6.01 and VT5 main unit system program Ver. 2.01. If you are using earlier
versions, please update them in advance. Also note that the IP address of a vision system is assumed to be “192.168.0.10” (default). To change the IP address, refer
to “Reference: When Setting the IP address of a Vision System Manually.”

1 Switch to system mode on the VT5 main unit. Press and hold on a place where no touch switches are located on the screen.
After some buttons appear, touch the [System Mode] button.

2 Under [System Mode], select [VT Machine Setup] -> [Ethernet Setup] to set the IP address.
(In the example below, the IP address is set to “192.168.0.11.”)

3 Next, select [Tool] under [System Mode], and then select [Vision System Monitoring].

4 On the [Search] screen, touch the [Search] button to start searching.

5 Specify the monitor No. of the vision system displayed on the search results. The monitor No. will be switched every time
you press the [Unselected] button.
One Point

• The search result list can display up to 64 units

(32 units for the XG Series and 32 units for the
CV-X Series).
• You can select four monitor numbers in total, from
“Monitor 0” to “Monitor 3,” but you cannot set duplicate
monitor numbers.
• You cannot select monitor numbers for a mixture of the
XG Series and the CV-X Series.
• Monitor selection can be changed only under system
mode or from VT STUDIO.

6 Touch the [Monitor] button to start monitoring.

One Point

A message will be displayed if you change

the monitor number and touch the [Monitor]
button. Select [Save] to save the current
setting in the system data. If you select
[Do not save], the setting will not be saved
in the system data but monitoring will be
started using the selected monitor No.

7 Conduct monitoring on the vision system monitor’s dedicated system screen. The vision system monitor’s dedicated
system screen supports the following functions with an operation panel:
• Selects and displays the connection destination from the vision systems that have been registered for monitoring.
• Switches between one-screen and four-screen displays.
• Saves the displayed image.

Remote connection area

Displays the vision system's monitor or setup screen.

Operation panel area

Available for operations such as switching the
screen's display.

One Point

You can use the full-screen display for each monitor No. by touching the number on the operation panel.
The four-screen display can also be used by touching the [All] button.

Full-screen display Quad-screen display

One Point

You can move the operation panel area to a desired position or minimize/maximize it.

To move the operation panel: To minimize/maximize the operation panel:

(1) Touch the button on the upper left of the operation panel. (1) Touch the button on the upper right of the operation panel.
(2) Touch your target position on the screen. (2) The operation panel will be minimized.
(3) The operation panel will be moved to the position. (3) Touching the button again will maximize the panel.

When Setting the IP address of a Vision System
Manually

This section describes the procedure to set the IP address of a vision system manually. (Example of the XG-X Series)

select [Change to Setup Mode]. When using touch operation on the VT5 Series, touch the screen to display a touch menu.
Then, touch the [To Setup Mode].

Troubleshooting

On the VT5 Series, I cannot switch to system mode because the system menu does not appear even after
Q I press and hold on a place where no touch switches are located.

A Check the following:

• Check if the VT5 main unit system program is Ver. 2.00 or later.
(* The system program version can be checked in System Info. under System Mode. To switch to system mode, turn the power on while pressing the upper right
of the screen.)
• In VT STUDIO, select [Resource] -> [VT system settings] -> [Gesture] and check if [Display system menu] is selected under
[Action when long pressing an area with no touch switch].

Q Can I set the IP address of the VT5 Series only under System Mode?

A It can also be set from VT STUDIO. In VT STUDIO, select [Resource] -> [VT setting] -> [Ethernet/Language/Video] to set it.

If I select [Tool] under [System Mode], and then select [Vision System Monitoring], a message “The “Use vision
Q
system for monitoring” setting is disabled” appears and I cannot move to the vision system’s monitor screen.

A In VT STUDIO, you need to select the [Use vision system for monitoring] check box and transfer the screen data to the
VT5 Series. In VT STUDIO, select [Resource] -> [Periphery connection] -> [Vision system monitor] and then select the
[Use vision system for monitoring] check box.

Even if I open “Vision System Monitoring” under System Mode on the VT5 Series and push the [Search] button
Q
on the [Search] screen, no vision systems appear on the search results.
A Check the following:
• Check if the VT5 Series and the vision system are connected via Ethernet.
• Check if the IP addresses of the VT5 Series and the vision system belong to the same network group.

Click this icon, and then place the part.

Double-click the part, and

then proceed to step 2.

2 Select the “Display area size” and the “Display mode,” and then click [Vision system monitor setting].
You can select the display mode from the following:
•O
 ne-screen display
•T
 wo-screen display
•F
 our-screen display
* You can operate a vision system only when “Single screen display” is selected.

Select this check box when you are connecting a USB console (or USB mouse) to
the VT5 Series to operate vision systems.
(This is only enabled when the “Display area size” is “1024 × 768,” “800 × 600,” or “640 × 480.”)

3 Enter the IP address of the vision system that you will connect and the monitor number of the vision system monitor display
that you will use.
Setting item Setting value
Connection object quantity 1
Sensor 0 settings
Monitor No. Monitor 0
IP address 192.168.0.210
Controller name Arbitrary value

One Point

The settings in step 3 are not required if you

have searched the vision system on the
[Search] screen under System Mode and
saved the settings in the system data.
