KEYENCE IV2-G30F IV2 Series Sensor Amplifier Learning/Standard Mode

KEYENCE IV2-G30F is a vision sensor control unit (amplifier) for the IV2 series vision sensors. Designed to simplify complex inspections through built‑in AI, it eliminates the need for advanced vision programming. Dual‑mode operation supports both Learning Mode (automatic setup by showing OK/NG samples) and Standard Mode (advanced tool‑driven configuration). Built‑in Ethernet with EtherNet/IP™ and PROFINET enables direct PLC connectivity. SD card slot provides program storage (up to 128 programs) and image logging (up to 1000 images). 8 inputs and 8 outputs (NPN/PNP selectable). 24 V DC power supply. For use with IV2 series camera heads (sold separately).

Applications:

• Multi‑point assembly inspection (e.g., presence of O‑rings, screws, clips)

• Automotive part traceability and orientation verification across different models

• Food and beverage packaging quality (label alignment, cap presence, multi‑product switching)

• Error proofing (poka‑yoke) to prevent defective parts from advancing

• General pass/fail checks and complex multi‑parameter inspections

System Integration:

• This sensor amplifier belongs to the KEYENCE IV2 series vision sensor system.

• Must be used with IV2 series camera heads (sold separately).

• DIN rail mounting (35 mm).

• The amplifier can be operated via the optional IV2-CP50 control panel or IV2‑Navigator software.

• Images saved to the amplifier‘s internal memory can be backed up to a USB memory stick inserted into the control panel (IV2-CP50) or to a PC running IV2 series software (IV2‑H1).

• SD/SDHC card slot supports program storage, data logging, and system updates.

• Communication units (DL series, order separately) add EtherCAT®, CC‑Link, DeviceNet®, PROFIBUS or RS‑232C connectivity.
