Overview of IV Series
IV Series
The IV Series is an all-in-one “Vision Sensor” featuring a camera, a light, and a controller. This sensor
can be attached easily so complicated detection operations such as detecting the shapes of parts with a
photoelectric switch can be achieved easily.
Operation conditions settings require the IV Software, IV-Navigator (IV-H1) or
the intelligent monitor (IV-M30). After setting is completed, the sensor can be operated independently.
The IV Series operates as an EtherNet/IP communication adaptor or a PROFINET communication I/O device.
With EtherNet/IP communication or PROFINET communication, the control output signal and status result,
etc., can be input to the PLC as communication data.
