Creating a dashboard for the Event-triggered Video Logging Package

Launch the Dashboard Generator and create a dashboard, for a designated sensor to detect an error status signal output by an IP camera or PLC, to trigger video recording.

NEWConfiguring NX-OD (output unit) in Sysmac Studio

Create a dashboard for the Event-triggered Video Logging Package.
This procedure assumes that the Dashboard Generator, SpeeDBee Synapse, and Chart Display Tool have already been linked.
In Sysmac Studio, display the I/O map of the NX-OD that outputs error status signals.
Go offline and edit the settings.
Set [Variable Name] and [Variable Type] to which error status signals are output.
(In the example, error status signals are output to “Output Bit 00”.)
The variable name is set to “Ch1Output”. The variable type is set to “Global Variable”.
Set “Publish Only” for the network publishing of “Ch1Output”, the variable to which error status signals are output.
In the left pane, select [Programming] > [Data] > [Global Variables] to open the setting screen.
Go online and synchronize the settings.
Click the [Transfer to Controller] button.

NEWScanning devices in the Dashboard Generator

In the Device List Screen of the Dashboard Generator, click the [Device Scan] button on the upper right.
Click the [Scan] button.
Confirm the scanned devices and click the [Apply] button.
Confirm that the devices have been updated in the Device List Screen.
(In the example, “NX102-9000” is added to the EtherNet/IP section.)

NEWRegistering an IP Camera

Click the [Edit] button associated with the scanned IP camera in the Ethernet section.
From the device type dropdown menu, select [Ethernet].
Enter a desired name in the device name field. (In the example, “IP Camera” is entered.)

NEWRegistering a dashboard in the Dashboard Generator

In the Package List Screen, click the [Register Dashboard] button on the upper right.
Enter a dashboard name, select a package, and enter the equipment identification information as necessary.
In the Register Dashboard Screen, click the [Register] button on the lower right.
Wait approximately 30 seconds then navigate to the Dashboard List Screen to confirm that the registration is completed.

NEWSetting EtherNet/IP Collector in SpeeDBee Synapse

In the Dashboard List Screen, click the [SpeeDBee Synapse] button on the upper right.
Click the [DETAIL] button in the panel and switch [Run] to [Edit].
Delete [EtherNet/IP Collector] and [NXR_dr_trigger].
From the left pane, drag and drop [EtherNet/IP Collector] and make settings.
(In the example, the name is set to “Error_signal_collector”, the host to the IP address of NX102-9000, and the get interval to 100 ms.)
Click the [ADD] button and continue setting.
(In the example, the variable name is set to “Ch1Output”, the column name to “data”, and the data type/array size to “BOOL, 1”.)
Connect the output port of [EtherNet/IP Collector] to the input ports of [Event trigger] and [Event Recorder].

NEWSetting EtherNet/IP Collector in SpeeDBee Synapse

Edit the content of [RTSP URL] of [VIDEO Collector] to match the IP address of the IP camera.
Start [VIDEO Collector], [EtherNet/IP Collector], [Event trigger], and [Event Recorder].
Right-click the output port of [EtherNet/IP Collector]. Check [Conversion] and set the type of the converted value to [INT8].
In the [Event trigger] setting, set the name you assigned to EtherNet/IP Collector.
Right-click the input port of [Event Recorder] and set the video capture range before starting the component.
Click the [STOP] button and then click the [START] button to restart the component.
In the [System] Panel, start [Error Manager].

NEWLaunching Chart Display Tool

In the SpeeDBee Synapse Screen, click the graph icon on the upper right.
Click [Dashboards].
Display the [Event-triggered Video Logging Package] Screen.
To change the horizontal axis (time range) of the graph, use the [Last 1hours JST] dropdown menu.
To change the data refresh frequency, use the Refresh dropdown menu on the upper right.
From the event information link, you can check the video before and after the activation of the trigger.
