V. 0.22#

Note

This page refers to version 1.01 of this manual, which is compatible with FlexiVision Studio v0.21 and v0.22.

New Features#

Mix Applications#

  • Added combined handling of mix_Locator commands for Robot 1, Robot 2, and Robot 3: it is now possible to call multiple models simultaneously within a single string (e.g., mix_Locator_12, mix_Locator_248, mix_Locator_12345678).

  • Added a validity check for mix_Locator commands: if the received string does not contain valid models (1 through 8), the system returns a specific error.

  • Added protection for the start_Locator and mix_Locator commands: if a Locator is already running, the command is ignored, preventing unwanted task restarts and unexpected changes to active models.

Clearances (Histograms)#

  • Added support for three region types for the Histogram tools—Rectangle, Annular Sector, and Circle—selectable via a dedicated menu on the recipe page, for all available models and histograms.

  • Updated the Histogram Test page to correctly display the new region types, shown in green or red depending on the test result.

  • Added a graphical display of the Histogram index and the key metrics for the selected region.

FlexiBowl®#

  • Added the Belt Check function to check the belt’s wear and cleanliness:

    • capture a reference image of the clean belt using the Save Clean Reference button;

    • automatic comparison, using a histogram, between the reference image and the current image of the belt;

    • Automatic classification of the belt as Light, Dark, or Medium based on the brightness of the reference image;

    • Display of the belt’s condition with a percentage value, color, and text label (Good, Warning, Poor);

    • Display of the date of the last Belt Check for each FlexiBowl®.

  • Added the Hopper Step Setup wizard to calculate the number of sequences needed to reach the hopper zone, with the Reset Steps, Test Sequence, and Save Hopper Step functions, and a corresponding calibration status indicator.

  • Added the ability to manually enter FlexiBowl® parameters via the keyboard, as an alternative to adjusting them using sliders.

  • Added a non-modal warning message when FlexiBowl® parameters are modified but have not yet been synchronized with the actual device.

  • Auto Reset FlexiBowl has been added: if an error is already present when a motion command is initiated, the system automatically performs a reset before executing the command.

Security and Access#

  • Added access level checks for common interface buttons: protected functions verify the current user level before execution and display a message if permissions are insufficient.

Improvements#

Recipe Creation Wizard#

  • Added a check for the Picking Offset to the NEXT button: if the offset is enabled, it must be calculated and valid before you can proceed in the wizard.

Recipe Interface#

  • Fixed the display format for Robot Pick offsets on the recipe pages, forcing the use of a period as the decimal separator instead of a comma.

Resolved Issues#

Backup Management#

  • Fixed an error that occurred during backup creation when the path on the PC contained spaces.

Sequences#

  • Fixed a display issue that could cause commands to appear duplicated in the list of sequences.
