Display Four Previous Images in In-Sight
By Bryon Sol in In-Sight Vision Systems
I was recently asked if it was possible to show the last 4 images on a VisionView. The solution I came up with was to use the LatchImage and ScaleImage functions in Spreadsheet in order to overlay images on top of the main image for display purposes.
While this has it's limitations, it provided the customer what they needed in their application.
Overall it looks like this:
Step 1:
Create a Count function to keep a rolling count of images:
Step 2: Add Latching Logic (4x), notice this points to our Count cell.
Step 3: Add LatchImage Functions (4x)
Step 4: Add ScaleImage Functions (4x)
Step 5: Add Text Overlays to indicate which image is which:
Step 6: Link to the checkbox for turning on/off this display.

GOT Recipe Handling
By Bryon Sol in Graphic Operator Terminals (GOT)
The attached file shows how to use Recipe Handling with a GOT. This is a slightly more complicated method than the "simple" method, it uses scripting and has some powerful options because of this. This example uses the older Mitsubishi GOT1000 series terminals.

Intelligent Actuator (IAI) SEL Programmable Controller with Cognex In-Sight Vision System
By Bryon Sol in Programmable Controllers
The attached file shows how to connect a Cognex In-Sight camera to an IAI SEL controller via TCP/IP to send position information and other information from the camera to the IAI SEL Controller.
Please Note! With the new RA/SA/RAX/SAX/RAXD/SAXD and RSEL controllers. The IP address and subnet of the controller needs to be set in parameters 172-179 instead of 132-139 as indicated in the document.

iQ-F (FX5U/FX5UC) Modbus/TCP Client via Simple CPU Communications
By Bryon Sol in Programmable Controllers (PLC)
The attached PDF and example GX Works3 Project show how to set up your FX5U/FX5UC PLC via parameters to read and write to a Modbus/TCP Server without writing any code.
This methodology does not work for the iQ-R or FX5UJ CPUs and their built-in Ethernet Port. For those CPUs please reference the Predefined Protocol function for setting up a Modbus/TCP Client.
On the iQ-R platform if you purchase an RJ71EN71 network card, you can use the same methodology shown in this setup via the add-on Ethernet module.

Mitsubishi FX3 Series Devices Details
By Bryon Sol in Programmable Controllers (PLC)
The attached file is an excerpt from the JY997D16601 manual from Mitsubishi. A common question asked about these PLCs are which devices are battery backed, how do I set that up and configure it etc.
With these PLCs there are a pre-defined set of battery backed registers and it changes for each model, FX3S, FX3G and FX3U are all different.
Some example details:
Input and Output quantities for each series are shown below, as are M bits, D registers, and T timers. For more information see the attached PDF file or the full manual.
