Keyence IV3-H1 PC Software
Product Introduction
The Keyence IV3-H1 is a PC software package for Keyence vision sensors. It includes IV3-Navigator, IV2-Navigator, and IV-Navigator in one bundle. Therefore, one license covers three sensor families. The software connects to sensors through an Ethernet link at 1000BASE-T speed.
This package suits engineers who set up and maintain IV3, IV2, and IV series cameras. Specifically, it handles parameter setup, image monitoring, and tool configuration. Meanwhile, it replaces manual on-sensor programming with a larger PC interface. As a result, commissioning and troubleshooting become faster and clearer.
Technical Specifications
The IV3-H1 is a PC-based software product, not a hardware device. It supports the IV3 Series, IV2 Series, and IV Series vision sensors. The included applications are IV3-Navigator, IV2-Navigator, and IV-Navigator. Interface access relies on Ethernet at 1000BASE-T.
Communication protocols depend on the connected sensor. For instance, the linked camera may use EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or TCP/IP. The software itself has no built-in ports and no expansion options. Additionally, it needs a compatible Windows PC to run.
System Requirements and Setup
First, install the software on a PC with a working Ethernet port. Next, connect the PC to the sensor through a standard Ethernet cable. Then, launch the matching Navigator application for your sensor series. After that, search for the sensor and load its current configuration.
Meanwhile, confirm that the PC and sensor share the same network subnet. Besides, close other tools that may occupy the network adapter. For stable performance, use a gigabit-capable switch or direct cable link. Finally, save the sensor settings once tuning is complete.
Key Functions and Benefits
The Navigator interface offers live image display and parameter editing. Moreover, it supports tool setup for inspection, positioning, and sorting tasks. Users can save and reload configuration files for repeat jobs. In addition, the software helps compare settings across multiple sensors.
Because the IV3-H1 covers three sensor families, it reduces software clutter. Specifically, one installation serves IV3, IV2, and IV models. This simplifies spare-part planning and engineer training. Consequently, maintenance teams work with a single familiar tool.
