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.

13.3.2.2.3 Automatic Mode Server Facet

This facet gives a superior control system more detailed control over the behavior of the vision system. This is related to the notion of an inline machine vision system which will typically operate in automatic mode.

13.3.2.2.4 Processing Times Server Facet

This facet contains information about the basic start and end time of jobs as well as information about internal timing of jobs.

13.3.2.2.5 File Transfer Server Facet

This facet combines the various TemporaryFileTransfer definitions for the transfer of black-box data to and from the vision system.

13.3.2.2.6 Basic Result Handling Server Facet

This facet contains the basic definitions for the handling of result content within the ResultDataType (the basic definitions for the identification of results are already contained in the Basic Vision System Facet in Section 13.3.2.2.1).

13.3.2.2.7 Inline Result Handling Server Facet

This facet contains result handling functionality which will typically be expected from an inline vision system (see Section 13.3.2.2.2). Since such a system running within an automated production line will usually handle series of individual, often identifiable parts, and may need to buffer results for later collection, the conformance units Part ID and Result File are part of this facet.

13.3.2.2.8 Full Result Handling Server Facet

This facet adds the capability of exposing individual results in the address space inside the Results folder to the Inline Result Handling Facet (see Section 13.3.2.2.7).

13.3.2.2.9 Standard Configuration Handling Server Facet

This facet combines the handling of configuration identification with the transfer of black-box configuration content by TemporaryFileTransfer objects.

13.3.2.2.10 Full Configuration Handling Server Facet

This facet adds the capability of exposing individual configurations in the address space inside the Configurations folder to the Standard Configuration Handling Facet (see Section 13.3.2.2.9).

13.3.2.2.11 Standard Recipe Handling Server Facet

This facet combines the handling of recipe and product identification with the transfer of black-box recipe content by TemporaryFileTransfer objects.

13.3.2.2.12 Full Recipe Handling Server Facet

This facet adds the capability of exposing individual recipes and products in the address space inside the Recipes and Products folders to the Standard Recipe Handling Facet (see Section13.3.2.2.1113.3.2.2.11).
