Using Keyence 2D vision system to adjust tool position

    I am trying to use a Keyence vision system to determine a rotational offset and adjust the robot tool orientation accordingly. I would like to work through the TCP command structure, but not opposed to using the Ethernet/IP interface. I am having trouble determining where to pull the data.

    So what is the controller you are using?


    Latest controllers have 2 ethernet ports which can be used for TCPIP protocols.


    The 2nd ethernet port can be used for software ethernet/ip, if this is used then that ethernet port cannot be used for anything else, but may require enabling as it is optional AFAIK.

    However, you can only send integer values across.


    Where as with TCPIP, you are not restricted in that respect as they are string messages, so that would be more flexible IMHO.


    All depends on what protocols are available on the Keyence then.
