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.
