Step 1 Checking the Equipment Required for Connection

This guide describes communication with the KV-7500 and CV-X100.

If you are using a different unit, replace references to the KV-7500 and CV-X100 with the unit that you are using.
Prepare the following equipment.

 KV-7500  CV-X100 Series*  LAN cable

* If you are using the vision system monitor function, update this unit’s firmware to version 3.2 or later. If you are not using this function, version 2.0 or later of the
firmware is sufficient.

Connecting the CV-X200/X100 Series to the VT5 Series enables the following functions.

Vision system monitor

You can search for vision systems connected via Ethernet and show monitor displays that consist of one screen, two
screens, or four screens. There is no need to prepare a video switcher even when using multiple vision systems.

(à See page 17 for the setting method.)

Full-screen display Four-screen display

Remote Ethernet tool

You can send and receive settings through the VT5 Series by connecting the VT5 Series to the PC which is used
to set the CV-X200/X100 Series unit. This eliminates the need to reconnect cables during debugging.

8 Create the ladder program.

Example) Using a trigger command to obtain the measured values of the CV-X100 Series

Flow of the above ladder program

➊ #1 (trigger 1) is stored in the command input area (W0F4).

➋ The command execution request relay (B060) is turned on, which starts the command execution.
When the command execution complete relay (B00) turns on, the command execution request relay (B060) turns off.
➌ The measured value obtained from the result output area (W012) is stored in DM0.
➍W hen the data read acknowledgement notification relay (B063) turns on, the CV-X100 turns the acknowledgement complete
notification relay (B03) off.

9 Transfer the ladder program (unit setup) to the PLC.

In KV STUDIO, click [Transfer to PLC(W)] on the [Monitor/Simulator(N)] menu.

One point

When writing a ladder program, you can intuitively make inputs using the RT edit function.
RT edit: During key input, the items that can be selected will be searched for and displayed automatically when
device comments are entered directly.

If the leading devices are changed, the assigned device numbers will be changed accordingly.

One point

Store a communication command number for control (see page 16) in the W0F4 (CV-X100 Series[1]. Cmd
number) command input area to control the CV-X100 Series.

One point

Data will also be stored in the W012 (CV-X100 Series[1]. InDat(0048)) result data area when an I/O terminal or
an operating panel is used to perform triggering.
In this case, no program (steps ➊ and ➋) for generating the triggers of the above ladder program (see page
10) is necessary.

Step 5 Communication Confirmation

1 Use a LAN cable to connect the KV-7500 to the CV-X100 Series.

KV-7500 CV-X100 Series

STP/UTP cable

2 Check that the “NS” and “LINK” LEDs of the KV-7500 are lit or flashing in green.

One point

The following are possible causes of the KV-7500 “NS” and “LINK” LEDs not being lit in green.
If the “NS” LED is not lit in green
• A setting is incorrect Alternatively, the settings were not transferred correctly.
à Check steps 2 to 4 again.
• IP addresses are duplicated.
àC  heck whether the set IP address is a duplicate of another IP address. If using an
Ethernet switch or a similar device, check whether other equipment with the same
IP address exists.

If the “LINK” LED is not lit or flashing in green

• The LAN cable is broken.
à Replace the LAN cable.
• The KV-7500 or the CV-X200/X100 Series is turned off.
à Turn on both of the devices.

 CV-X200/X100 Series Connection Guide

3 Turn on @MR0 to confirm the change of the measured value of DM0.

If DM0 is updated each time @MR0 changes from off to on, communication is being performed normally.

If “Decimal Point” is set to “Fixed-point” in the [Global] settings (see page 4), the CV-X100 will multiply the measured value by
1000 before sending the data. In the above example, the actual measured value is 306.012.

 CV-X200/X100 Series Connection Guide

Extra 1 High-speed Data Transfer Technique

To transfer data between the CV-X200/X100 Series and

the KV-7500 at the maximum speed, set the send trigger KV-7500 CV-X200/X100 Series
to COS (Change Of State). Data will then be transferred
between the KV-7500 and the CV-X200/X100 at the
maximum speed.
A COS (Change Of State)
occurs.

COS (Change Of State)

The CV-X200/X100 Series will send data only when the state RPI (communication cycle)
changes.

* W hen the state remains unchanged, cyclic communication will

be performed under RPI (communication cycle). Parallel data
communication will be performed only when the state changes.

How to configure settings

In the [Connection settings] dialogue box of the EtherNet/IP settings, set the send trigger to “COS(ChangeOfState).”
* Set the RPI (communication cycle) to 20.0 ms or higher.

* It is not necessary to change the settings of the CV-X200/X100 Series.

14
 CV-X200/X100 Series Connection Guide

Extra 2 Changing the Data Size

If the amount of measured data of the CV-X200/X100 Series increases and the size of the data transferred to the KV-7500 becomes larger (496 bytes or
more), you can change the size of the data to transfer during cyclic communication.

How to set the CV-X200/X100 Series

Select [Global], [Communications & I/O], and then [EtherNet/IP] to change the data size.

* The cyclic communication data size can be changed to a setting between 248 and 1436 bytes (default: 496 bytes).

How to set the KV-7500

From the [EtherNet/IP settings], display the [Connection settings], click [Setup parameter], and then set the data size.
Set “Input Size” and “Output Size” to the same size as the data size of the cyclic communication of the CV-X200/X100 Series.

To use the above command numbers, enter them into CV-X100 Series[1]. Cmd number.

One point

For commands that require the command number and parameters such as the switch inspection setting
command, enter the parameters starting with CV-X100 Series[1]. Cmd param1.
In addition, for commands that have multiple return values such as the read inspection settings command,
the result will be output starting at CV-X100 Series[1]. InDat(0048).

One point

There is a command that stops the CV-X200/X100 Series from capturing images.
Pay attention to this fact when using commands from external equipment on a high-speed production line.
