The Allen-Bradley MultiSight™ featuring EtherNet/IP™ from Rockwell Automation is an optical multi-pixel sensor with a pass/fail PNP output and the ability to provide detailed inspection results data via EtherNet/IP™. The MultiSight™ uses four different methods of evaluation (pattern matching, contrast, brightness, and contour matching) to detect or differentiate objects by means of previously defined optical characteristics, e.g., for separating “good” and “bad” parts. The main applications are in the field of industrial automation for quality assurance purposes. The MultiSight is an easy-to-use economical alternative to conventional vision systems for detecting presence or absence, completeness, position, markings, labeling, packaging, and components.
