Configure Edge Settings

Click to set the Edge region over the area that contains an edge; ensure that the region contains all edges you want to locate during run time.
Click on the right top corner of the display to confirm the edge region.
The icon replaces the edge region, which indicates the location and angular orientation of the found edge.

After you configure the edge settings, load images and adjust the parameters, as necessary, to compensate for your expected ranges of variations.

Parameters

Description

Polarity

Specifies the polarity of the edge you search for. The scan direction for the brightness transition is along the Y direction.

black-to-white	Specifies that the edge polarity is black-to-white.
white-to-black	Specifies that the edge polarity is white-to-black.
either (default)	Specifies that the edge polarity could be either black-to-white or white-to-black.

Accept Threshold

Specifies the minimum contrast score (0 to 100; default = 25) for edge candidates; the tool returns only the edge with match scores that exceed this value.

Find By

Specifies the edge selection criteria amongst multiple edge candidates.

best score (default)	Specifies that the edge with the highest score receives the highest consideration.
first edge	Specifies that the first edge detected receives the highest consideration.
last edge	Specifies that the last edge detected receives the highest consideration.

Edge Width

Specifies the pixel distance (0 to 255; default = 3) over which an edge transition takes place.

When you finish configuring the Edge0 settings, click to open the Edge1 tab.
Click to set the Edge region over the area that contains an edge; ensure that the region contains all edges you want to locate during run time.
Click on the right top corner of the display to confirm the edge region.
The icon replaces the edge region, which indicates the location and angular orientation of the intersection of the two edge lines.
After you configure the edge settings, load images and adjust the parameters, as necessary, to compensate for your expected ranges of variations.
Click to exit the Recipe step. The sensor is now set up and ready for the sensor calibration.

After finishing this initial setup with the AS200 Alignment Sensor software, you need to complete the sensor calibration and golden pose training. To perform these tasks, you need to use the command interface of the AS200 Alignment Sensor with external controllers, such as PLC or Robot.
