We currently use an ABB vision system for detecting items to be picked. These items before reaching the camera system have gone through another type of inspection system for which we can recieve a digital input (low= accept item, high=rejected item)
We wish to
When an item is found by the vision system and the digital input is low, pick and place the item as normal
When an item is found by the vision system and the digital input is high, not pick the item (when it reaches the robot which should pick it) but leave an empty space in the container for it (acknowledge the next place position in the place routine)
The camera system may be presented with single or multiple or no items when it is triggered, but the digital input applies to all items detected by the vision system per frame.
Hope this makes sense, how can we do this?
Regards
Mark
