Digital Output

OUT1 is reserved for Industrial Light control.

To wire Digital Outputs, please refer to pin assignment.

 

Available Digital Output pins are:

Pin #6 - OUT2

Pin #7 - OUT3

Pin #9 - OUT4

Outputs are set after image inference is done. Example:

Image is triggered, trained models are processed and only then output is set.

 

Trigger

Always - On every inference, the output is set.

Good - when the current inference (image) is evaluated as OK based on your module setting, only then the output is set.

Bad - when the current inference (image) is evaluated as NG based on your module setting, only then the output is set.

 

Set outputs

ON - Output is in use. On inference, set to ON state.

OFF - Output is in use. On inference, set to OFF state.
