13.3.2.2 Facets

13.3.2.2.1 Basic Vision System Server Facet

This facet defines the elements for a very basic machine vision system. It shall implement the mandatory nodes and also some fundamental types and functionality concerning results, configurations and recipes

13.3.2.2.2 Inline Vision System Server Facet

An “inline” machine vision system, as defined in Section 3.1, is used in the manner of a 100% inspection system within a production line (which does not necessarily mean that it is a quality inspection system at all).

This type of use typically takes place under the guidance and supervision of a control system which requires information about the current operating state of the vision system, error conditions and other diagnostic information, and may want to inform the vision system about safety-related events.

13.3.2.3 Profiles

13.3.2.3.1 Basic Vision System Server Profile

This Profile is a FullFeatured Profile intended for basic machine vision systems capable of limited handling of recipe and configuration information, provision of result information and content and executing the standard automatic mode as defined in Section 8.3.

It is built upon the Embedded 2017 UA Server Profile which provides Security conformance units.

13.3.2.3.3 Simple Inline Vision System Server Profile

In accordance with the notion of an “inline” machine vision system, used, as defined in Section 3.1 and Section 13.3.2.2.2, in the manner of a 100% inspection system within a production line, this is a FullFeatured Profile, providing the typical functionality required for a simple version of such a system: full automatic mode, diagnostic info required by a control system, basic result handling. It lacks the handling of client-supplied IDs included in the (not-simple) Inline Result Handling Facet in Section 13.3.2.2.7, leaving the part tracing to the superior control system.
