A digital input ….

* signals the robot if the external switch is on (1) or off (0)
* could come from a limit switch
* could come from safety equipment (light curtain)

3 tasks a seeing robot can do are …

* product sorting

4 common types of I/O ports include:

* digital input
* digital output
* serial interface

You are trying to convince the plant engineer that a vision system could improve overall production. What are your best 2 arguments?

* It will reduce the number of defective parts
* Wil increase product yield

Machine vision can accomplish the following tasks.

E

The Pallet Template requires which 3 pieces of information?

* Feature
* Object Height
* Item Counter

The 1st palletizing video this week was about food packing  company  in ______________________.

New Zealand

After modifying a program …

the program should be tested at reduced velocity.

One way to create a branch in a program is to set up a _________________________

sub routine

Why is it important to know the height of a separator, if using one, when programming a Pallet routine?

So the robot can add the thickness of the separator when changing layers.

What is the difference between an ACTIVE and PASSIVE sensor?

An active sensor requires a power supply

A Pallet routine is only a part of an overall program, what other 2 things should be considered when incorporating a pallet routine? 

* Will the robot be picking or placing the pallet?
* Are we using multiple pallets?

What does this line of programming mean in common words?

\
**WAIT FOR IN3 OR IN4 TRUE CONT**

Wait for either input 2 or input 4 to become active then continue
