This section explains teaching inspections on good product using Remote Teach 9 4 1 Understanding Remote Teach The Remote Teach function is a method of remotely updating inspection parameters in Run mode Vision tool s and Test tool s can each be selected to be taught To remotely teach an inspection the Remote Teach function must be enabled on each tool to be taught Note The Location tools the Measure tool and the Communication tool are not affected by Remote Teach The sequence of events in the sensor is as follows With the sensor in Run mode and Ready pulse the Remote Teach line Pin 2 gray wire The sensor recognizes that the Remote Teach line is active and waits for the next valid trigger At the next valid trigger Ready goes inactive the Green Ready LED shuts OFF and the sensor acquires a new image The sensor adjusts the ROI if the inspection uses Location tools The Vision tool learns the new pattern and performs the analysis 6 The sensor adjusts the minimums and maximums in the Test tool if the Test tool is enabled for Remote Teach WON as 200 Banner Engineering Corp Minneapolis MN USA www bannerengineering com P N 000000 Tel 763 544 3164 7 2009 7 The inspection indicates Pass if the pattern meets the requirements of the Vision tool and if the Test tool is enabled for Remote Teach if the evaluation of the Test tool s passes with the adjusted minimums and
