Check Vision Result
Function
Check the vision result and run the corresponding subsequent workflows along different exit ports.
There are 5 default exit ports for this Step.
| Exit Port | Description |
|---|---|
Has results |
Take this exit port if the Visual Recognition Step provides a result. |
No result |
Take this exit port if the Visual Recognition Step does not provide a result. |
Timeout |
If the vision result processing does not end after the set Wait Time Out, the project will take this exit port.
|
Not called |
“Not called” indicates that the vision project specified by the Vision Service Name parameter has not been executed.
|
No cloud in ROI |
It usually indicates that all the target objects to be picked have been picked successfully. This exit port is prioritized over Has results and No result exit ports. |
| The relevant example project to the “Check Vision Result” Step is provided to help you learn more about the process of checking the vision results. For the example project, you can go to File > New > Example projects > Others > Check Vision Result in the software. |
Parameter Description
Pre Plan Out Port
To make the path planning process in the actual application continuous, the software will execute a pre-planning beforehand on the backend. Specifying a pre-plan exit port along which the project is most likely to proceed can reduce the probability of re-planning and the wait time of the robot.
| Parameter value | Description |
|---|---|
-1 |
Do not specify an exit port for pre-planning. |
0 |
The project will take the Has results exit port during pre-planning. |
Wait Time Out
This parameter specifies the maximum time to wait for the vision service to respond (Unit: second; default value: 5 s). This parameter is used in conjunction with the Timeout exit port. Please set the value according to the actual requirement.
Vision Service Name
Select the name of the Mech-Vision project that provides the vision service. If it is not specified, the results of the recently called vision service will be checked.
This parameter value should be the same as the Vision Service Name selected in the Visual Recognition Step.
Custom Alert
The Check Vision Result Step supports checking vision results based on custom alerts configured in Mech-Vision, and then executing the corresponding follow-up workflows along different exit ports.
When the project runs along a custom alert exit port, the log area will display the alert codes and messages.
Mech-Viz will record custom alert messages and send them out after the project is fully executed. If multiple Check Vision Result Steps are used, Mech-Viz will only record the last received custom alert.
Prerequisites
-
Open the Mech-Vision project under the same solution, and click in the menu bar.
-
Click Addto configure alert codes and messages. Please refer to Alert Code Configuration for detailed instructions.
-
Click Apply in the lower right of the Custom Alert window to save the configuration.
-
In Mech-Viz, click the Update custom alerts button in the parameter panel.
Now, the configured custom alerts will display in the parameter panel.
