Wenglor uniVision version 2.3

Click2Contact

Wenglor’s uniVision software for two- and three-dimensional image processing has been updated to version 2.3 and now supports EtherNet/IP controls via the EtherNet/IP interface. Overlays in the web-based visualisation of results have also been updated.

EtherNet/IP is now integrated as an interface in Wenglor’s smart cameras and control units. Together with the Profinet interface, which can also be used in combination with these devices, it is the most commonly used industrial protocol in the world.

Results of image and profile evaluations, such as measured values, detected patterns or codes, can be transmitted from the smart camera or control unit to the control in real time with this interface. However, it is also possible to send trigger or project load commands and, for example, transmit a match code from the control to uniVision products. This makes seamless communication between the sensor, software and control easier. In addition to the two Profinet and EtherNet/IP real-time protocols, process data can still be output via digital I/Os, TCP/IP or UDP.

Web-based visualisation allows the results to be displayed on any device in a browser. This gives users a clear overview of all relevant results without the need for complex programming knowledge. Until now, users were only able to display points and lines within the image or profile. The new update also offers the option of displaying circles, arcs and coordinate systems as overlays.
