nVision-i
The image processing software of our vision sensors CS-60
and ID readers ID-600
Save time
Not only because of an interface that is clear, intuitive and easy to use, but also because of the high-performance tools that are consistently optimized for the highest quality with maximum performance.
Industry-leading algorithms for high read rates
With the comprehensive, high-performance tools and integrated image optimizations, optimum performance is achieved with smooth commissioning and changing requirements. If required, the tools can be extended by a software upgrade or customized individually.
The visualization of the pipeline and linking of individual tasks in the Logic tool make the greatest degree of flexibility and high speed in the realization of the application possible.

Image processing tools
Fast and simple
Via comprehensive image processing tools, both the verification of the quality and completeness of parts is possible as well as their localization and the transmission of determined positions by way of various communication interfaces.
Demanding tasks, such as quality inspections of highly reflective objects and applications in changing ambient lighting situations or at high speeds are reliably performed.
Tools for Vision Sensors CS-60
Detect the presence/absence of a feature based on pixel values and contrast
Detect Brightness
Detects the average brightness as a function of the threshold range within a defined area in the image
Detect Contrast
Detects the contrast as a function of the threshold range within a defined area in the image
Detect Area Pixels
Detects the number of pixels as a function of the threshold range within a defined area in the image
Detect Edge Pixels
Detects the number of edge pixels as a function of the threshold range within a defined area in the image
Locate areas, edges and shapes
Locate Area
The tool “Locate Area” is used in order to locate a part in a scene using Blob analysis
Locate Edge
Finds an edge within the defined search field and serves as a guide for subsequent tools
Locate Shape
Compares learned patterns within the defined working area and also serves as position correction for subsequent tools
Counting of areas, edges and shapes
Count Areas
Determines the number of contiguous dark or bright regions
Count Edges
Determines the number of edges along a line/search beam
Count Shapes
Identifies and counts objects whose contour matches the learned contour
Measurement of angles, diameters, distances and spacings in mm and pixels (Upgrade)
Measure Angle
Determines the angle of an edge
Measure Circle
Determines the diameter and circularity
Measure Distance
The slider determines the distance between 2 edges
Measure Point-to-Point
Measures the distance between 2 contour patterns, 2 circles or mixed points
Measure Point-to-line
Measures the distance between a point (from blob, contour pattern, circle or edge) and a line/edge
Locate and read 1D and 2D codes (Upgrade)
Locate Code
Finds a code within the defined search field and serves as a guide for subsequent tools – efficient for label fit check
Detect Code
Decodes all codes and can evaluate the content using different criteria (regular expressions)
Count Code
Enables multiple recognition of different codes
Read directly marked codes (DPM) on difficult surfaces (Upgrade for "Locate and read 1D and 2D codes")
Detect DPM Code
The upgrade enables high-performance reading of difficult-to-read directly marked codes on difficult surfaces
Tools for ID Readers ID-600
Locate and read 1D and 2D codes
Locate Code
Finds a code within the defined search field and serves as a guide for subsequent tools – efficient for label fit check
Detect Code
Decodes all codes and can evaluate the content using different criteria (regular expressions)
Count Code
Enables multiple recognition of different codes
Read directly marked codes (DPM) on difficult surfaces (Upgrade)
Detect DPM Code
The upgrade enables high-performance reading of difficult-to-read directly marked codes on difficult surfaces
nVision-i
The Logic tool
The linking of results to outputs
Through the free linking of the results of several tools into an overall result directly in the Vision Sensor you get a high-performance – without PLC load.
Another advantage is the high degree of flexibility:
the measured values or results can be addressed at any point on the Profinet field bus.
Short familiarization, no training required
The graphic-oriented Logic tool is based on a function plan (FBD), which enables a clear representation even for more complex functions. This in turn enables a simple and easily comprehensible implementation of the behavior of the inputs and outputs.
This eliminates the need for training, since the procedure is already familiar from the daily handling of PLC programming.
nVision-i
Image correction and calibration
Integrated image optimization
With 2 clicks, distortions and shadowing to the edge of the image can be easily eliminated by calibration via nVision-i.
The CS-60 vision sensors and ID readers ID-600 thus have the ability to reliably perform all detections over the entire field of view – the CS-60 can additionally convert pixel values into exact real values (mm) and output them.
In addition, both the vision sensors and the ID readers meet the requirements for those areas where flexibility, easy configurability and fast changeovers are paramount.
