settings and check the operations.
Confirm that it operates properly, and change settings if
necessary.

1. Checking the Global Settings of the CV-X100 Series

1 From "Global", select "Communications & I/O" -

"Network".

2 Change the Ethernet settings and then left-click

"OK".

In this section, the set values below will be

configured as an example (change the settings
according to the target device).
•Enable EtherNet/IP: Check this box.
•Data Size: 496 bytes
•Data Configurations: Set the desired data
allocations and allocation offset for the bit
address and byte address.
•Decimal Point: Fixed‐point
•Process Priority: Image First

5 Restart the controller.

In this section, the set values below will be configured

as an example (change the settings according to the
target device).
•IP Address: 192.168.0.10
•Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

 2. Changing the KV-Series settings
1 Start KV STUDIO with the PLC connected to the
computer, and select "New project" from the
"File" menu.
2 Enter the "Project name", select the "PLC model",
and then press "OK".
6 Click the icon in "Setup unit (2)" to open
"EtherNet/IP settings". Configure the CV-X100
Series and EtherNet/IP communication settings.
•Drag "CV-X100" from the "Unit list (1)" tab in
"EtherNet/IP settings" and drop it into the scan list
to add it.
•In the "Initial adapter settings" screen that is
displayed after start up, enter the CV-100 Series
IP Address (192.168.0.10) that was set in the
CV-X100 Series global settings.

A "Confirm unit setting information" dialog appears.

7 Save the changes and exit the "EtherNet/IP
3 Click "Read unit setting". settings" and Unit Editor.

8 Select "Device comment edit window" from the

"Display" menu in KV STUDIO.
The "Device comment edit" screen appears.

4 In the workspace, click the Ethernet/IP

communication unit or CPU unit that will be
connected to the CV-X100 Series to start "Unit
Editor". Set up the IP Address of the KV Series in
the "Setup unit (2)" tab.
•IP Address: 192.168.0.20
•Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

9 Click "Details".
The "Register unit device" screen appears.

10 Confirm that the box for "CV-X100" is checked in

the "Select unit" list, and then click "Register".

5 Select "Convert" - "Auto-assign relay/DM" in the

Unit Editor to allocate a device.
When automatically allocated, the bit device is
allocated to B (link relay) and the byte device is
allocated to W (link register).
Device comments regarding CV-X100 are
automatically registered.

 11 Select "Transfer to PLC" from the
"Monitor/Simulator" menu in KV STUDIO.

12 Restart both the CV-X100 Series and the KV Series.

When the connection is successful, the LINK LED
(green) will start flashing on the KV Series Ethernet
port.
Successful connection can also be confirmed by
selecting "Communications & I/O" - "EtherNet/IP" in
"Global" on the CV-X100 Series, and checking the
"Cyclic Communication Status".

If the LINK LED on the KV Series Ethernet port stays lit

(does not flash) or does not light
The EtherNet/IP may not be set up correctly, the cables may
not be connected correctly, or the CV-X100 Series may not
be started up. Check the connection equipment (if a
crossover cable is being used as a LAN cable when
connected directly, if the HUB is working, etc.)

 2. Outputting the Measured Value/Judged Value (EtherNet/IP) [Keyence KV Series]
Outputting the Measured Value/Judged
1. Setting the output data (Output Settings)
Use the output settings to output the measured values
and judged values. This section explains how to
allocate the measured/judged values below as an
example.
•Total Status Value
•T100: Position Adjustment with Shading Pattern
(position X)
•T100: Position Adjustment with Shading Pattern
(position XY)
•T101: Area
•T102: OCR (Recognize Strings)
•T100: Position Adjustment with Shading Pattern
(tool judgment value)
•T101: Area (tool judgment value)
•Program Time
•Date & Time
1 From the "Output Settings" screen, left-click
"EtherNet/IP".
The EtherNet/IP output settings screen appears.
2 Left-click the "Byte Allocation Area" tab.
3
Left-click "Select Data", select the items to output,
and then left-click "Add".
4
Check the byte address for output.
•When allocating output data, the destination byte
address is automatically displayed in "Address".
•The byte address starting position is the position
allocated to "Result Data1" on the "Data
Configurations" - "Send-Data" - "View List" screen.
(In the example above, it is byte address 048.)
KEYENCE CORPORATION. Vision System Division
2. Checking the format for output to the byte
address, and the relationship between the byte
address and the link register (W)
1 Check an example of result data stored to the
byte address.
The EtherNet/IP output settings are set so that the
result data shown below is output.
•Total Status Value
•T100: Position Adjustment with Shading Pattern
(position X)
•T100: Position Adjustment with Shading Pattern
(position XY)
•T101: Area
•T102: OCR (Recognize Strings)
•T100: Position Adjustment with Shading Pattern
(tool judgment value)
•T101: Area (tool judgment value)
•Program Time
•Date & Time
2 Check the relationship between the byte address
and the link register (W) in KV STUDIO.
Open "EtherNet/IP settings" from the "Setup unit (2)"
tab in KV STUDIO Unit Editor, and click the plus sign
(+) next to "Class1" for the registered CV-X100 to
check the allocation status of the device. (In the
notation, output from CV-X100 is treated as "IN
(input)".)
•Check the range (hexadecimal) of the link relay
(B)/link register (W) allocated to the registered
CV-X100 Series controller. (The range can also be
changed as desired by clicking "Edit".)
•Byte addresses 0000-0011 are for the link relay
(from B0000 onwards), and byte addresses from
0012 onwards are for the link register. Allocation
begins at the start from W0000, with 1 register
used for each 2-byte address.

 3 From "Global", select "Communications & I/O" -
"EtherNet/IP", and left-click "Set" in "Data
Settings".
The "EtherNet/IP Communication Data Structure"
screen appears.
4 Left-click "View List" in "Send-Data".
The contents that are allocated to the controller send
•By default, "Result Data1" (first result output) is
set for byte address 0048, and the result data is
allocated there.
•As result data is output in 32-bit units, 4-byte
addresses are used for each piece of result data
(1 character in the case of text).
5 Restart the controller.
KEYENCE CORPORATION. Vision System Division
6 Input the trigger to the CV-X100 Series, then check
the output results in the KV STUDIO registration
monitor.
Check the current value beginning with device W012.
•Judged value OK=0, NG=1 is stored using 2 words.
•Decimal fraction data is multiplied by 1000 and
stored using 2 words: 124.121 → 124121
•When XY data is output, it is stored in order XY
using 2 words each.
•Integer data is stored unchanged using 2 words
•Text data is stored in ASCII code using 2 words
per character
- When outputting with "String", the number of
devices used varies depending on the set
character string. In this example, because the
OCR unit "Detected String" is output, the character
string is "KEYENCE" (7 characters). However
because 10 is set for "Characters" in "Block Set",
the 20 words (for 10 characters) from W042 to
W054 are used.
- When the characters setting is changed, the device
used changes. If there is a possibility that it might
be changed, it is recommended that it be set at
the end of the output data.
•Judged value OK=0, NG=1 is stored using 2 words.
•System variable: Integer type: Stored using 2 words
as is
Decimal type: Multiplied by 1,000 and stored using
2 words
