I have a question regarding Smart Sensor VSS112Q11.032P-000. This type of vision system theoretically does not allow more than 1 vision function to be run simultaneously. I tried to create the second visionapplication with newly created visioncomponent but camera module can be connected to only 1 visioncomponent. My idea fizzled out.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? Is there any possibility to run 2 vision functions using the same Smart Sensor?
Thank you in advance for any shown good will and sacrifice.
the Smart Sensor can only run one vision function , there’s no possibility to run more then one simultaneously on the device.
It’ possible to change the vision function / program by software functions in your running application, but this functionality takes some time to execute and is designed for automatically setting up the device while commissioning, when changing machine or process parameters, and so on.
If you need to run more then one vision function simultaneously, you need a Smart Camera which is a different hardware.
I found some functions from ViBase library and changing functions during runtime is possible but these functions need to be compatible, the same type (e. g. Matching).
Basing on it, I think changing hardware is the only solution, isn’t it?
