3rd Party Vision Sensor Support Eng

This document provides instructions for adding 3rd party vision sensors in ROBOGUIDE simulation software. It describes how to prepare CAD models, configuration files and images for 3rd party cameras and add them to the ROBOGUIDE library. It then explains how to add a 3rd party camera to a workcell from the library and configure its field of view and image settings for simulation. While basic simulation of vision tasks is supported, functions like teaching vision processes are not.

ROBOGUIDE 3rd party vision sensor support function

2023.1 FANUC Corporation

Generally ROBOGUIDE only supports FANUC vision sensors. This function supports to use 3rd party vision
sensors on ROBOGUIDE.

 Support to add 3rd party vision sensors from CAD library.


 Support to display the field of view on the graphics.
 Support to show the field of view in the camera view.
 Functions concerned with simulation: teaching vision process and detection of the objects, etc. are not
supported.

Users can add 3rd party vision sensors (Cameras) as follows.

1． Prepare CAD model, VSC file, and image file (BMP) for the camera to setup the field of view.
（VSC file and BMP file have to be the same name as CAD model. BMP file is used to show the appearance of
CAD model on the library, and not always necessary.）

Use CSB file for CAD model.

VSC file example:


<VSCameraParameter Type="999" FocusLen="12.0" CellSize="5.3" PixelWidth="1280"
PixelHeight="1024" CameraModelID="999" CameraModelName="YCAM3D-V4" PictType="0"
CADOffsetX="0" CADOffsetY="0" CADOffsetZ="0" CADOffsetW="0" CADOffsetP="90" CADOffsetR="0"
GlobalLocationOffsetR="-90"/>

Set ‘999’ for Type and CameraModelID.


PixelWidth and PixelHeight are used as the initial image size when the camera is added.
（Actual width and height of the image size is defined by mm units. They can be changed later.）
CameraModelName defines the camera model name displayed on the camera property page.
CADOffsetX-R defines the offsets of the field of view origin from the camera CAD model origin.
The other parameters do not need to change from the example.
2． Select File / Explore Folder / Image Library Folder from ROBOGUIDE menus, the image library folder is
opened. Then copy CAD model, VSC file, and image file (BMP) for the camera to setup the field of view into
Others / StandardCamera in the library.
3． Open the existing workcell, or create the new workcell.

Use the workcell contains the virtual robot software version V9.10 later.

4． Select Add Vision Sensor Unit / Add 2D Camera / CAD Library (or CAD File) from the right clicking menus of
the sensor unit on the cell browser, and select CAD model for the camera to setup the field of view. Then the
camera is added on the workcell.
5． Open the camera property page, and change the image size and the focus length on Settings tab, and the
height of the field of view on View tab.

Model of field of view is displayed as square pyramid


6． And view from the camera can be displayed by selecting View / Camera View from ROBOGUIDE menus.
